honest, I watched this movie 4 times, and I plan to watch it at least once to supplement my understanding of the details.
The first time, it was just released in China. I bought a pirated DVD, which is called the unabridged version. When I got home, I fast-forwarded to the end and found that I was fooled. This is the first
and second time. I downloaded a real unabridged version from the Internet. , fast-forward, get to the key point, stop, read 4 paragraphs, and find that the details show a kind of "depression", this is the second
and third time, the night is quiet, I finally finished the story, and at the end, I suddenly became interested" Did Mr. Yi fall in love with Wang Jiazhi?", "If he fell in love, why didn't he save her?", this is the third time. Therefore, there is also a need for the
fourth time. The fourth time, after the quiet night, I repeat, fast-forward, fast-rewind, pause, think, and then continue. One question was a little confusing, and another question came up, so I stayed up all night.
Here are some questions that come to my mind
. Did Mr. Yi fall in love with Wang Jiazhi?
I thought privately that Mr. Yi finally fell in love with Wang Jiazhi. Why? Two details show this, the first is the "pigeon egg" diamond. I still remember a very early time when Wang Jiazhi and Mrs. Yi were playing mahjong, and Mrs. Yi mentioned the "pigeon egg" diamond. Mr. Yi replied to Mrs. Yi with words like "too heavy and tired from playing cards". But in the end, Mr. Yi surprised Wang Jiazhi in a "very, very romantic" way in modern words, and it was this "pigeon egg" diamond. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a 6-carat diamond. (Insert a sentence here, why does this diamond symbolize Mr. Yi’s love for Wang Jiazhi? To use the metaphor of “mistress car”, I have heard this word for a long time. Since I started working in Beijing in 2001, I have heard countless stories about “mistress car” Models. First Sail, then Polo, then Bora, then CRV. As the stars shifted, I suddenly had an epiphany, it turned out that the so-called mistress car can never be compared to a self-use car or a milk car. That kind of car can't be used by a mistress. , so this dove egg, which is not easy to show, is a metaphor for Mr. Yi falling in love with Wang Jiazhi in the movie). There is another detail related to men and women in love. It is often said that love makes women confused, but in fact men do too. What kind of person is Mr. Yi, he is frightened, suspicious, and cruel. Especially suspicious. At first, when Wang Jiazhi wanted to approach Mr. Yi, he found the excuse of "good tailor, making clothes". Mr. Yi secretly asked the tailor whether what Wang Jiazhi said was true. That is to say, at that time, Mr. Yi still used his instinct. Doubt the "enthusiasm" of Wang Jiazhi. At the climax of the film, when Wang Jiazhi went to the diamond shop to pick up the finished diamond ring, the whole surrounding was full of murderous intent. The film makes it very clear that when Mr. Yi and Wang Jiazhi entered the jewelry store, there were some suspicious people in the door and corner, and the atmosphere was weird. With Mr. Yi's professional sensitivity, he will not fail to notice these (details, he has noticed - pay attention to Mr. Yi's expression and eyes). However, at this time, Mr. Yi was still immersed in a different kind of emotion. He went upstairs with Wang Jiazhi and put on a ring for Wang Jiazhi with affection. It was not until Wang Jiazhi's forgetful reminder to "walk away" that Mr. Yi regained his instincts and escaped quickly.
Therefore, Mr. Yi finally fell in love with Wang Jiazhi.
two. If you fall in love, why not save her?
After answering the first question, the second question comes naturally, why not save it? The warmth is like water, so naturally, it should be a hero to save the beauty. See how to answer this question in the movie, Secretary Zhang took out the file, put it on Mr. Yi's case, and told Mr. Yi all the details of the small gang. Mr. Yi was furious, "You know it! Why didn't you tell me!". Secretary Zhang said calmly, because you and Wang Jiazhi have an unusual relationship. At this point, Mr. Yi suddenly fainted, took out his pen, said "just follow the old rules", and then signed and closed the volume. By now, you should be aware that Mr. Yi may be just a poor puppet, while Secretary Zhang represents another more powerful force. For more evidence, go back to the title. After interrogating a prisoner, Mr. Yi had a short conversation with Secretary Zhang about how to deal with the prisoner. Secretary Zhang was "transmitting" the meaning of the Japanese, and Mr. Yi said, I will go to meet the Japanese. Secretary Zhang replied, they informed me that the meeting was cancelled. Hearing this, Mr. Yi stopped suddenly, turned his face halfway, then paused and continued on. At the door, Mr. Yi said something (forgot), and Secretary Zhang's face was gloomy and dissatisfied. This is an initial detail of the film, a hint to the relationship between the two. Later, after the Wang Jiazhi case was closed, Mr. Yi returned home, and Mrs. Yi asked him what happened. "Secretary Zhang took away Wang Jiazhi's things." Mr. Yi told his wife in great fear, "Don't say anything". This is the end, the truth is revealed! Mr. Yi is just a puppet, while Secretary Zhang represents a stronger force. For a long time, Mr. Yi has been suspicious, frightened, depressed, and angry, not only because some personnel wanted to assassinate him, but because of the people around him. Therefore, Mr. Yi, who is used to repression, still chooses repression. Because he's just the one who was arranged to sign and sign. As for what the order was, he had no right to question it.
Therefore, as a puppet, Mr. Yi can't do anything, and protect himself first.
three. What is the role of Secretary Zhang?
The answer to this question is in the answer to the previous question.
Secretary Zhang is the representative of the real power, the one who monitors, controls Mr. Yi, and gives orders to Mr. Yi.
Four. When did Wang Jiazhi "really meet" with Mr. Yi for the first time?
faint! Isn't it obvious? But what I want to ask is not "meeting", but "eye contact"? For the majority of literary youth, eye contact is a big thing in literary works, and this incident directly shows when the two people were touched. If you can't figure this out, then don't talk about a lot of things that follow.
Okay, let’s review the sequence. Wang Jiazhi approached Mr. Yi at the beginning. The first time he played Mrs. Mai sitting in the car and Mr. Yi was standing outside the car. From that angle, he could only see Mr. Yi’s chin, okay? Easy, Mr. Yi stuck his head in, and what Wang Jiazhi saw was Mr. Yi wearing sunglasses. So, this time doesn't count. This time only Wang Jiazhi saw Mr. Yi, but no Mr. Yi observed Wang Jiazhi.
Once again, Wang Jiazhi was playing cards at Mr. Yi's house and basically only heard Mr. Yi's voice.
Once again, Wang Jiazhi played cards at Mr. Yi's house, and Mr. Yi was asked to stay to play cards. It was Wang Jiazhi who observed Mr. Yi. Mr. Yi lowered his head. Suddenly, Mr. Yi noticed, raised his head, and observed Wang Jiazhi. This should be the first time that Mr. Yi took the initiative to look at Wang Jiazhi. But at this time, the two eyes did not have any contact. So it doesn't count.
Finally, Mr. Yi invited Wang Jiazhi to eat in a very hidden restaurant, and Mr. Yi expressed the different feelings that Wang Jiazhi could bring to him. When it came naturally, Mr. Yi took the initiative to light a cigarette for Wang Jiazhi. The firelight illuminated Wang Jiazhi's face. Wang Jiazhi followed to see Mr. Yi, but he didn't think so, and Mr. Yi was also looking at her. Note that this is the first official "eye contact" in the film. Lightning and Flint, and then "Fawn Rumble". Pay attention, this moment was completely revealed by Wang Jiazhi's overwhelmed hand that stopped in the air. The strange shape of the hand, as well as several consecutive movements, are so fascinating, which is enough to show Wang Jiazhi's feeling of overwhelmed by some things that Wang Jiazhi had deliberately wanted to get by inadvertently. Li An or Wang Jiazhi have been thinking about this move for a long time
. Wang Jiazhi asked, "You could do it three years ago, why not you?"
When Xiaobailian realized that Wang Jiazhi was in a dangerous situation, he suddenly couldn't help approaching Wang Jiazhi. Wang Jiazhi refused, "You could do it three years ago, why not you". Good question. Xiaobailian naturally didn't give an answer, so let's find it ourselves. Will it be a little white face? You know, the decision at that time was made "ahead of time" behind Wang Jiazhi's back. Please note that it is "in advance", that is, before Wang Jiazhi realized this problem, someone realized it earlier than her and had already arranged it for her. Who is this guy?
This kind of question can only be thought of by another woman. That is the girl in their troupe. I can't say that everything was premeditated, but at least she used the development of things to achieve her own goals. What is her purpose? Her purpose is to be a little white face.
This is explained in another detail. Back at the beginning, Wang Jiazhi and her were discussing Xiaobai. Obviously, Xiaobai seemed to stand out from the crowd, and it was strange that he was not noticed by the girl. The girl was obviously more scheming. She knew more about Xiaobai's family affairs. She told Wang Jiazhi that Xiaobai had a brother who died in battle, so his family did not want him to fight. And then just rightly said, "I don't want him to go either." Note that women are sensitive, and women know women are sensitive. Not every word a sensitive woman says is nonsense (especially in front of an imaginary enemy).
However, some details later showed that Xiaobai liked Wang Jiazhi. So, as things develop, all this girl has to do is push Wang Jiazhi to the point of no return and clear her own obstacles.
Back to the question, who asked this question first? Without a doubt, this girl. Who proposed to be the most lewd and vicious boy? Still this girl. How could she explain to Wang Jiazhi because he has experience. funny! Is it necessary to find a man with such unbearable experience to let a woman have experience?
Okay, so why didn't Xiaobai volunteer when he asked this question? This question is simple, Xiaobai is pretentious, is in a high position, and talks about ideals. What the ideal wants, sacrifice, suppress his feelings, and obey the overall situation. Therefore, as a person with vague intentions in his heart, he absolutely cannot be this volunteer, he is afraid of being looked down upon. (One more thing, what Xiaobai is angry about, many of the things he said are imaginary. There is an obvious contrast. When he mentioned killing a traitor, he was so decisive, as if he had rich experience. But when he personally stabbed the After the blackmailer, he is so pale, completely a first-time brother. So many things are not based on reason, not in impassioned, but in experience. The voice is loud, the elephant is invisible, believe it!)
Why not the unbearable boy himself. He's had enough. I won't take the initiative to stand up again, I will be unbearable to take the initiative.
other people? No explanation at all.
Therefore, it can only be this woman - another little person!
six. What is the role of the other girl?
This question has to be asked because she is another key character, she "answers" a lot of questions, she moves the plot forward. The answer to this question is basically above.
To add a few words, at first Xiaobai proposed to set up a small group. When doing something, the boys joined in one after another. When it was the girl's turn, her eyes swept over Xiaobai. Yes, her righteousness was "I want Xiaobai". So without even passing through the brain, it said "of course". What is "so of course"? Simply without thinking. In contrast, Wang Jiazhi, who was still a simple child at the time, spent some time thinking about it before deciding to join. Therefore, she is simple and lovely, while girls are scheming and scheming.
There are still many questions, but not rich enough to ask.
There are also some details, such as the smile on the corner of Wang Jiazhi's mouth after being abused, because someone has already mentioned it in the market (as far as I know. Other details, if they are mentioned, are normal), so I will not repeat them.
Of course, a more interesting question is, what does Ang Lee want to express?
I have a very shallow understanding that Ang Lee wants to express people and human nature. Express the struggles of people in a specific era. No one is born with the ability to make the right decision decades later. When watching a movie, I suddenly asked myself, if I were Mr. Yi.
Ang Lee is known as a director who can turn literary films into popular films. Then the point of integration between literature and the public lies in human nature. Ang Lee is also a Chinese director who can make films of world significance. What he wants to show is naturally something that transcends the limitations of the times, countries and nations.
What is human nature? People can become many, such as Wang Jiazhi, such as Mr. Yi. Humanity is to these external symbols what gravity is to Newton's apple. No matter which fruit, no matter how resisted, it will fall to the ground after ripening. Therefore, human nature is the irresistible gravitational force of human beings. External symbols can be resisted, can deviate, can be different. But the leaves return to their roots, and human nature will demand that you return to the ground.
What is human nature? The Decameron mentioned a child who grew up in a monastery who had never seen a woman. The first time I went shopping with the monks, I saw a woman and asked "what is that". "Goose," said the monk. "Then I want geese," said the child. What is human nature? Human nature is what has been concealed and deceived for a long time.
Well, four times are over, will there be a fifth? "So of course"
every minute we watch is edited by the director after dozens of times, dozens of times, hundreds of times of film time. So, why don't we "refactor" and experience the details of a serious film made by a serious director?
What is finish? It's still early, just hit the road!
It's to start writing.
