Jin Shengtan once said that the most innocent child in the Water Margin is the monk Hua, and the most ruthless is Lin Chong. So, does Guan Yuming look like Lin Chong?
I recognized Jackie Chan in "Snake Shaped Hands" and "Drunken Fist", with big hair, short brown exposed shoulders, full of energy in every move, big nose and no need to act. I must also support hip-hop, and the self-deprecating spirit of the little people is strong. In Shaw Brothers' films of that period, in addition to Zhang Che's stubbornness, there were also the sad and humorous characters of such bottom-level characters.
After that, the famous "Red Zone", "Police Story" and "Rush Hour" were not seen until last year when they won the Oscar for life. He still seems to be the stupid Yuan Lou, a child of the Liyuan class, with shallow politics and extreme temperament.
From 1978 to almost 2018, I suddenly turned around in "British Showdown", this time Jackie Chan finally stopped supporting hip-hop, and I was relieved for him. Guan Yuming is a staggering and staggering old man who burns fire, with a sad face and a frosty face. His takeaway Chinese restaurant is called "Happy Peacock", but he is not happy at all. I know that people who have been through hardships for a long time always have a terrifying fear of suffering, like waiting for the second boot that never falls upstairs. He had a wife and three daughters, three of whom died in the Vietnam War, and settled in London with his young daughter.
When the boots landed, Guan Yuming collapsed on the blasted street in London, propped up his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked around blankly, his face covered in glass ballast mixed with mud and blood. The young girl died in the explosion. Since then, in life, he has stepped from the seventeenth floor of hell to the eighteenth floor. Is there a difference? have.
Just like Lin Chong who was humiliated, took his wife, was framed, and was exiled, he didn't complain, he sighed, put down his fists, and put on the shackles obediently. Just at the moment of the mountain temple, the thought of it became a demon. You can see him quietly getting up, hiding a knife, killing people, setting fires, drinking the last bit of remnant wine, and running away in the snowy night, with high energy and no complaints, silently changing the trajectory of his life. Well, for Guan Yuming, he asked for a list of the murderers, called Brosnan, called Brosnan politely and pesteringly, but to no avail, and sat silently in the darkened room... Suddenly, just for a moment, he woke up suddenly, and he burned the photo , burning newspapers, packing groceries, sticking reflective paper on the truck, carrying some bottles and cans in the left hand and the right hand on the car, like a country bumpkin visiting relatives, all the way. Even if there are monstrous waves and thunder in these people's hearts, you will only see silence and irreversible execution.
In the scene where the bomb was set in the bathroom of the deputy minister, the arrogant deputy minister used a European polite and cold procedure to send this old Asian man in his sixties, the country bumpkin who came all the way to him, and asked the terrorists like a neurotic. The name is very pedantic. Guan Yuming didn't say anything. He silently carried two grocery bags and walked to the bathroom. He set up a stool. He used a matchbox to hold a piece of waste wire and connected it to two bottles of liquor. A half-lit cigarette was inserted into the matchbox. , making earth bombs. He counted the time and stumbled away, not less than a second. He said that it would not be fried in fifty-nine seconds if it was fried in one minute. Such a skill, such a precise technique, came from such a miserable and poor old man. Experts hide in the marketplace.
First rites and then soldiers, if it doesn't work, use the way of the other, but also to the body, the procedure of the Chinese. After that, the forest guerrilla, the farm set bombs twice, and told the deputy minister again and again: I want the list of murderers. Force people without hurting them. Even after getting the list, let go of the deputy minister's nephew, a young man in the special forces. It was such a silent old man who was reluctant to kill even a dog. When the British and Northern Ireland political groups were chaotic and arguing, he carried a tool bag and silently pretended to be a repairman to the terrorist's residence apartment and killed him. Four of them, the only one woman was injured. When the special forces blasted the entrance, put on a hood, cover the wound, quietly dodge through the gate, and disappear into the sea of people. One after the other, without disturbing each other, you do your thing, and I will carry out my revenge. It was as if this person had never existed in the air.
At the end of the film, Guan Yuming returned to the underground Chinese restaurant, as if he had unloaded part of the burden, cutting vegetables, preparing materials, receiving takeaways, and he still had relatives who needed to be taken care of. In fact, most of the knights in ancient China were desperadoes, and they risked their lives to make a name for themselves. However, there is a well-written poem, "Kill a person in ten steps, and leave a thousand miles behind. After the affair, go away and hide your name and name." Dedicated to Guan Yuming.
