When Wang Mang killed Cixi

——The

first thing I want to remind everyone is that this is not a comedy. It's actually a real event.

What do you think when a warm, generous and versatile man everyone loves suddenly becomes a murderer one day?

What would you think if the good guy just happened to kill a weird, disgusting guy that nobody likes at all?

When Wang Mang killed Cixi, yes, it was such a story.

Wang Mang before the emperor, and Cixi after the empress dowager. The former is a role model that everyone praises, and the latter is an old woman who is not liked by everyone, and even a little hope she disappears.
Xiao Wang started to be very good to Lafayette. He accompanies her everywhere to relax, and does his best.

People who will support Xiao Wang in the future will take this as their own evidence and say, look, he is not a bad person. But the party who thinks Xiao Wang is a villain will think that this just proves that he is insidious and cunning, deceiving others' trust.

We think that the original Xiao Wang may have been well-intentioned and didn't think about it that much, but there are too few people who don't think much about it. Lafayette became more and more inseparable from this little king, so he tried to keep him by his side. How can I do it? The first is financial convenience. My money is your money. You can spend it how you want. The second is responsibility and trust, adding more and more things to you, and you can't do it without you. Again it's coquetry and threats - if you hate me too, no one likes me, how pitiful the old lady will be.

In a word, Wang Mang, a wonderful young man who is a fascinated man, was occupied by a lonely and eccentric old woman, Cixi.

When love has turned into jealousy, suspicion and possession, when passion has turned into necessity and compulsion, good and good people can't bear it anymore.

The more interesting thing happened after Xiao Wang confessed his guilt. People couldn't watch this good young man who had done a lot of good deeds and helped a lot of people be punished. Although everyone is embarrassed to say that the old woman will die if she dies, people generally believe that Xiao Wang must have been wronged, and even if it is indeed he who did it, he must have had a last resort.

You see, how important the public's impression of you is.

But I think that people who care too much about everyone's good impression are either ascetic spiritually seeking perfection or a big conspirator with a particularly deep concealment. And people who are too unique, proud and ego are destined to be alone. How to find a comfortable balance between the two is a key point that needs to be learned in social networking.

The movie says that when you live in a small town, you have to have good relationships. Because everyone knows you to some extent, it is like a village in China, the old Zhang family and the old Wang family have lived here for generations, and the people you meet when you go out must be considered relatives and friends, how can it be too much. This habitual moral consciousness has disappeared and annihilated in the city.

If the story of "Bernie" took place in a high-rise building, in a city where people don't know each other, people probably wouldn't make a fuss, and of course it wouldn't be a good story.

Bernie quotes

  • Scrappy Holmes: So why did you leave the body there? It would seem to me that if you didn't want to get caught, you'd find some way to dispose of it.

    Bernie Tiede: Oh, no, no. No, I could never do that. That was never my intention. Everyone deserves a proper burial. And I was... I was just waiting for my chance to give her one.

  • Danny Buck: Ladies and gentlemen, after listening to all the evidence, I'm sure that you will agree that the defendant is a liar, a coward, and a backshooter. Now, come on. That's got to be about the lowest thing a man could ever do, ain't it? Shoot a little old lady in the back? Four times. There is no doubt in my mind that Bernie Tiede is a calculating, evil actor. He fooled a whole town for nine months. Now if he can do that, there ain't no telling what he'll do if you let him back on the streets. That poor woman stayed frozen stiff for nine whole months. In a freezer. It took two days to thaw her out. Just so they could perform a proper autopsy.
