First of all, I will personally authenticate Douyou's comments.
1. "I promise you will fall in love with Yuan Bin after watching this film", Cheng, I recognized it.
2. "The temperament of the uncle + the figure of the handsome man + the eyes of the deer", completely appropriate!
3. I personally add that the last brother BOSS died in the car was too funny
- "You hit it, this is tempered glass", the fact tells us that tempered glass will only crack after being hit a lot by bullets. Glass = =|||

I remember Cao Kefan interviewing Chen Kaige about the filming process of Zhao's orphans. Chen Kaige said that he hoped to express a kind of righteous indignation of the Chinese people through Ge You, even sacrificing his own children to avenge the despicable people , not afraid of the righteous indignation of power. He also talked about letting Ge You perform "normal sadness" and letting "Wang Xueqi" perform a villain who really planned for himself, not a villain by nature. I was very emotional when I heard it at the time, but I know that there are still many people who have spent money to buy tickets to enter the theater and either feel bad or feel fooled. Is it to say that this righteous indignation is too weak? It's not like that.

Let me talk about the manifestation of Chinese-style righteous indignation. First, I don't know when China's righteous indignation has disappeared. Occasionally, I come out to hear the tragic news that Wang Yang was accidentally stabbed to death in order to chase the thief, but at best this is called a righteous act, and the distance from "anger" is really far away. In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you say that there is no Orphan of Zhao in China, I really can't give you an example of righteous indignation. The second is the Chinese-style entanglement. I just don't want to waste my spit on this point, almost - I mean the essential elements of almost all Chinese scripts, there are many indifferent ill-fated and bloody nonsense, inexplicable in the plot. That's okay, what's irritating is that every time such a setback is involved, more waste information and time waste are always involved. Even to express righteous indignation, he prefers to be deliberate and let the enemy raise his own enemy's child by himself, and then let this child kill the old man who has raised him for so many years. This thing makes me think it costs my brain cells.

Not to mention whether Chinese-style righteous indignation is good or bad. At least it seems to me that "Uncle" has dealt with righteous indignation to the point where I am extremely satisfied and applauded. In terms of the innate advantages of the script, like many suspenseful Japanese dramas, the dark side and ugly side of the society are bloomed to the limit (so we should understand that such an explosive scene is not allowed by our harmonious motherland and harmonious society), and the enemy will not talk about it. Now, the gangsters are unscrupulous, from heroin to organ trafficking of young children. The male protagonist turned out to be a member of the National Intelligence Agency. Then, around the clue of the uncle saving the girl, it is said that it is fun and dripping, which is not too much. Moreover, in the setting of the plot, Yuan Bin's arrogance and ease of play are combined with the subtle emotion of the little girl. It can be said that it combines the joyful hearts that can be seen with the incitement that cannot be seen.

Regarding the death of Cha Tae-seok's wife, the explanation is not thorough enough, but it can be roughly confirmed that it was someone who fought against the National Intelligence Agency, and the male protagonist was unlucky and had a holiday with this person. When he was bleeding and looking at the white car that was smashed by the big truck, and the blood flowing from the door, I thought, he must have hoped that he could die with his wife and the child in his wife's belly. Not long ago, Mingming said, "The three of us hug each other." So we can understand the way the uncle showed us at the beginning of the story. Black coat, gloomy, silent, with deliberately long hair. But there is an unpredictable temperament all over his body, which should be the temperament unique to those who have lost the things they least want to lose. So from a certain point of view, the uncle takes Xiaomi as his wife and child to love. There is guilt for the wife and unborn child in this love. Also, he can no longer bear the pain of losing the person in front of him. So it's not clear that he died as a pawnshop uncle next door to so many scumbags, oh, of course they deserve to be damned.

The journey of revenge is of course the happiest. This is also the arrogance that no Chinese film dares to show. Why, if you threaten me to touch your brother's hair, you will kill Xiaomi? Let me tell you, today I want to save me too, you two will die for me. That's right, the way things are going, it's decisive and comfortable. This kind of decisiveness that is not afraid of any threat to win what you love and not let go of what you hate is the decisiveness of a hero. If it's a Chinese movie, I'll tell you how. The male protagonist heard such a threat and immediately let his brother go for a while and then waited for the other party to bring Xiaomi over. After negotiating the deal for a long time, there was no surprise to the audience. Yes, the conversation collapsed, and then the bloody fight started. The male protagonist defeated the enemy in the bloody storm and rescued the little girl. He hugged Xiaomi at the last breath, or Xiaomi lay down in the blood of the dead uncle, and the whole play ended. Is this for an intelligent youth and human being? There are good reasons why the uncle is handsome.

In the final plot, I don't know what the uncle's ending is. He has done too much for Xiaomi and killed too many people who are innocent but not his turn to kill. Maybe it's just like Xiaomi said at the beginning of the play. Well, "You are a face suitable for prison, right?" Isn't it chilling and ironic at the end of the film? When I saw that the uncle's last wish was to let Xiaomi go to school fully equipped like an ordinary elementary school student, the moment they embraced, I was completely moved.

In fact, I also want to talk about the hero number 2 in my mind. I can't make out my name. He is the only person in the enemy camp who still has two brushes; the one with a face that is not 100% evil; the one who heard Xiaomi say, "Uncle, you lied to me that my mother is not dead, right?" The one who frowned; the one who was just as indignant as the uncle, so he took the eyeballs of the man who was going to dig out the millet's eyeballs to explain; the one who saw the uncle stab one by one, stabbing the little gangsters to death without using his hands The one who murdered with the gun; the one who finally put down the gun and fought with the uncle with his small machete and finally died. I don't know why he didn't choose to side with the uncle in the end, but at least he appreciates the uncle, there is no doubt about that. Anyway, this guy is a hero.
