I wrote on Weibo: Behind every handsome uncle is a loli who is dragging his legs. In fact, it is not. It should be said that this loli became the weakness of the uncle who was invincible and impeccable, forcing them to bloom for a long time.
And the first thing I think of this film is not "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" but the "First Blood" series.
Although it looks more like the former in the future, the reason for Yuan Bin's decadence in the first half, that is, his past, is a naked story of the persecution of individuals by society and the government, and the exploitation of individual interests by collective interests. (Here I think of "The Hunt" again.) Today, I watched "First Blood 4" replayed by the Central Liuliu again and felt the hero's twilight. I concluded that it is better to go to the United States to be a fighting hero than to come to China to be a prisoner of war. China is the country with the best system for the establishment of veterans in the world.
Well, let’s get down to business, as ordinary people, we can talk about our personal ideals and aspirations in broad daylight, while as people with special status (such as former agent Cha Tae-seok), even the most basic rights of ordinary people have been lost. They have no identity, their files are locked, they have no profession to speak of, they have no friends (again, too Rambo-like), and their families don't even know what they do every day, whether it's safe or not, when I left, when I will come back, or even if I can come back is uncertain.
You have no name, no identity, no personal interests, no past and no future. What you do is great, but no one will know about you. So the English film is called "THE MAN FROM NOWHERE". I think of many female spies in the Middle East who married into hostile countries, stole military intelligence, and could not contact their families for the rest of their lives, and then no relatives or friends knew their whereabouts, and they died in secret, or even died. The latter country cannot recognize them. Perhaps the only special person who can reveal his identity in front of the whole world is Putin, after he becomes president.
Perhaps as a citizen of a country, we take it for granted that the country should protect our security. Those soldiers, officers and soldiers, and intelligence personnel exist as the country's defense system, and it is also necessary to defend the country and its people. This is the meaning of their existence, every day. All face danger to their lives, and when necessary, they must protect the people with their flesh and blood. Because we pay taxes to support them. money? What is the money for? Can it be exchanged for freedom? Can it be exchanged for love? Can the wife who died in the car accident be brought back to life?
But when it comes to individuals, are you willing to have your father, husband, and son do such a "glorious and great" thing? If you feel your conscience and say yes, then I can only say that our patriotic education is really successful.
I'm selfish, I'm humble, I shamelessly tell you I don't want to, and I don't want you to give me the whole world. I don't want to, and I'm not qualified to ask others to. Then you will ask, what to do in the event of danger. what to do? Leave it to fate. But the existence of the party and the state must require such people to guard and consolidate, or the former needs more. So I honor and pity the individuals and their families who made such great sacrifices.
It's just that I'm very surprised. You can sympathize with the guinea pigs who are doing experiments, fighting for power for those "guinea pigs who sacrificed for human medicine and scientific experiments" and make a lot of noise in the whole society. What about them? What about Cha Tae-seok and the others? They are all real people! Could it be that they could only watch their wives close at hand and their newly formed children being run over to death by trucks, and the revenge of the hostile elements they had brought in for their secret missions for the country. Then he was shot and fell to the ground, lying on the ground struggling and unable to do anything? Just because they exist to protect the collective interest? Maybe you will say that this is accidental, the probability is very small, but it can happen very small.
I have to say, Yuan Bin's performance in this part is really brilliant! The love and regret for his wife, his self-blame, and his accusations of fate and social injustice are hoarse and direct to the heart. Use penetrating acting skills to refute false rumors such as "six-pack abs attract attention, and the box office is flashy".
Thinking about the brutal devil training they received in the concentration camps in those years, and the incognito life they lived in, when they endured these tortures, in addition to their excellent physical fitness, Cha Tae-seok must also possess an indestructible belief. If your belief happens to be about dying for your country, that's fine, but what if it isn't?
Many people saw Yuan Bin's heroic appearance in the film of single-handedly attacking the lair of the criminal group, and felt that his sense of justice in punishing evil and promoting good was shocking, and his questions to criminals were to the point, and the punishment was even more enjoyable. Use flour(?) and kerosene lamps as timer devices for the leader's younger brother, and finally ignite the gas explosion; for the leader, drive to a dead end and break the bulletproof glass one by one, and finally kill him, not with one blow, but let them first To experience the fear of dying little by little is the best punishment for them.
But don't forget, he is also "death to those who stand in my way" to the police, but he is light.
He didn't intend to return to the arena, it was this society that forced people to commit crimes. When calling the police, the operator just thought he was a prank. There are a lot of pranksters, but why does the operator think that everyone who calls the police is a sheep-herding child? What's more, the children who herded sheep also encountered wolves in the end. What about your sense of responsibility?
The police or something, sometimes they can’t even solve theft cases. For murder cases, we don’t have the equipment, and the professionals are on business trips. It takes a lot of money to solve them. If there is no budget for this year, the case will not be filed. The police are not strong enough to rely on themselves.
It is obvious that although the police do not collude with the underworld in the film (collaboration is harmonious), they are obstructing Cha Tae-seok everywhere to save people, because they have to teach the law, follow the procedure, and act according to the rules. For example, when I recorded a statement with the Chinese translator (here I learned an excellent countermeasure to let the police take the initiative to untie the handcuffs, which is unprecedented), if I really waited for them to finish the procedure and then wait for them to analyze, collect evidence, and act, let alone Xiaomi Is it still alive? It is estimated that the companies of the criminal group will be listed on the Nasdaq.
Cha Tae-seok's feelings for Xiaomi can be seen as a transfer of his wife and the child in his womb.
"Uncle, you think I'm embarrassed too, so pretend you don't know me. It doesn't matter, my classmates and teachers are like that too. My mother also said that if you get lost, pretend you don't remember your home address and phone number, and keep saying yes when you get home. Die together. Compared to the rich kid who said I was a beggar, my uncle is worse. But that's not annoying. Even you hate me, no one likes me. When I think about this, it hurts here (referring to my heart). So I won't hate you."
In this monologue of Xiaomi, Yuan Bin was arranged in the movie just with tears in his eyes. In the tidbits, I saw that when the director of Xiaomi's back was calling the card, Yuan Bin turned his head and said in the interview that the young actor said that he cried.
Only Xiaomi treats Taixi as a family member, and only Taixi can protect Xiaomi. This sense of destiny lingers in Taixi's heart. The family that had been lost for a long time was finally regained, how could he bear the pain of losing it again, so even if he shattered his bones, even if it was irreversible, he would rescue Xiaomi. As long as she is alive, her healthy life is the best comfort to herself.
"If you want to live by yourself, you can do it."
"Just once, just once, just once, just once." The
last goodbye, the only hug, no one did not cry.
Your skills, your flesh and blood, do not exist to sacrifice for the national and collective interests, but to protect the people you love.
