Let me put my point of view first, this is not a prison film, but a "Godfather" film that restrains the French school. It is more appropriate to translate the so-called prophet as a prophet, because it is more a kind of resourcefulness and planning and planning for one's own life. The concept of surrealism is not actually its meaning, in fact, it is similar to the history of Vito's birth in "The Godfather II"!
One, 50 yuan will not give you, from scratch!
The beginning of the story is a little vague. The origin of the protagonist and the charges are hidden. A small detail was found in the sole of the protagonist who hid 50 yuan. It seems to be telling him from the perspective of God, you will start from scratch, from scratch, any There is no reliance. It is true that he is not very literate, has no relatives and friends, and has no specialties. Everything is like a little wolf who leaves his mother and enters nature to live independently. The interesting thing is that 50 yuan appeared again when he was released from prison. The protagonist finally discarded him. This is the confidence to see through everything and master his own destiny. There are such characteristics in the processing of details.
Two or three missions outside the prison, heroes make the situation.
As Caesar's power was weakened step by step, whether inside or outside the prison, the attitude of the lawyer can be seen in general, and then a large wave of his cronies were released from prison (I think at this moment he was panicked and collapsed, suspecting that he would be replaced) , his attitude towards Malik also seemed eager and anxious!
The first time was surrounded by a crowd and arranged for Malik to trade to save a subordinate. It was normal and under control. Malik found the marijuana hidden by the inmates and dug up the first pot of gold;
the second time Malik predicted the car accident of the deer (Doubt: deer have symbolic meanings such as rights, prey, wisdom, etc., personal speculation is the meaning of right), the running deer symbolizes the turbulence between gang forces and the competition for power. Whoever will kill the deer is obviously the wise and decisive Malik , this is also the meaning of the prophet! Of course, it was also this mission, Malik really cultivated his own forces and partners;
The third mission is to assassinate Caesar's boss. This is an impossible mission. First of all, it is incredible that he can break through the defenses of bulletproof cars and bodyguards by himself. What's even more bizarre is that he has his own plan in his heart to replace Caesar. After all, this also reflects the wisdom of the prophets, Caesar has already declined, and the precise timing is grasped. However, it has a slightly surreal color or the halo of the protagonist. Although Malik has killed people, he is not a professional killer. The bodyguard of the big boss is too unprofessional, but this also highlights the ability and theme of the prophet. In addition, the so-called chance daughter Hard to find as well.
3. Family values, brotherhood, justice and interests, forbearance, closeness to your enemies, sharing interests, etc.
There is no doubt that he has inherited many values and concepts in "The Godfather". The more prominent plots are:
1. A large amount of profit from selling drugs was given to the Arab community. On the one hand, the sincerity of the strong will be regarded as flattering, while the sincerity of the weak will be appreciated, even if the other party is a hedgehog, it will eventually become your greatest help.
2. The friendship with the best friend, especially his son, and especially the feeling of sleeping with the child in his arms ~ I was locked up for 40 days for being late... As Vito Corleone said, he couldn't take care of his family. Man is not a real
man !
4. Forbearance, get close to your enemies! This is the highest intrigue and hegemony in "The Godfather". Vito shakes hands with the enemy when his eldest son is killed, preserves his strength, and cooperates with the enemy without interruption. Always sober, waiting for the opportunity like a leopard in the dark, while "deer" Get it sooner or later!
4. The throne always belongs to the wise action faction
The so-called prophet, in fact, in my opinion, wisdom and intrigue are of course its core competencies, but I admire the action school more. "Uncle Ma" once said that third-rate creativity and first-class execution are far better than first-class creativity. Third-rate execution, in fact, although the film It is a realistic style, and still has the halo of the protagonist. His resourcefulness and forbearance are indeed brilliant, but in the actual task and the struggle between gangs, killing the people who should be killed is the key to survival. Step by step, a general After he succeeds, he is not a Caesar who can hide behind his back to play tricks and find awesome people to realize his awesome plan. He wants to kill people, but he doesn't know that being killed is actually much more realistic.
His courage and adaptability are indeed bugs. It takes three seconds to decide his life and death. In my opinion, this is the key to his victory. The resourcefulness should wait until he survives to play.
