When I first started watching, I thought that Pei Guo was probably equivalent to Wu Guo, Lu Yan must be Lu Su, and this commander must be Lu Xun. After seeing Yang Family's swordsmanship, Yang Cang's sword, And Yang Cang's son Yang Ping, isn't this the Guan family father and son.
Guan Erye is also good at dragging knives, and Yang Cang's stunt is also dragging knives.
And Jingzhou is equal to Jingzhou,
The characters who are in a trance and the background of the era, but tell a new story that is completely different from the Three Kingdoms.
Because speaking of the Three Kingdoms, the first impression that emerges is the great era and the great heroes.
Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao...
But few people have thought about the fate and encounter of the little people in such history.
At the beginning of this year, I read a book "Assassination of Sun Ce" about the little people of the Three Kingdoms.
Use the smallness of the small to bring out the "small" in the shadow of the big.
This movie speaks directly.
This film blurs the times and blurs the characters. He starts from a small person and tells the story of a small person who grew up in the dark and only deserves to be a shadow for others.
The shadows are black and the whole movie is black and white.
There was no sun here, and it was always raining.
A great hero stood at the head of the city, holding a majestic sword.
A great hero is imprisoned in a dark room, strategizing dark and treacherous strategies.
A king pretending to be a fool, but with a lot of scheming.
In the story of the big man, there is a shadow.
Intrigue is dark, so the tone of the movie is dark.
The struggle is icy, so it rains all the time in the movie.
The pattern full of gloomy stories is broad, reflecting on human nature, human nature in the power field.
Power struggles, battles between heroes and monarchs have been staged in our land for thousands of years.
There is a truth that the emperor has no seeds, and the soldiers are strong and strong, so it is not uncommon for ministers to kill the king, and the change of the king's flag in the city head is not uncommon.
There is also the so-called political wisdom of the so-called bird's bow, and the rabbit dead and the dog cooked, so we like to hear the story of the Qinggong Tower being set on fire, and the release of military power with a glass of wine is simply a glorious revolution.
We are obsessed with telling stories like this.
But very few people will stand in the position of the innocent to see this.
Because every time they plot, every battle requires people to execute them, and they will coerce a large number of people.
These people are innocent.
I am reminded of an article by Lin Yutang. The story of the battle between the wind and the sun in Aesop's fables is particularly famous. They competed to see who could get the man on the ground to take off his clothes. The photo went to the sun, and the man quickly took off his clothes. The story in Aesop's fables ends here. Lin Yutang said, "You two big men are fighting each other, but who has considered the feelings of the following person. He was cold at first and then hot again. The extreme cold and extreme heat caused him to catch a cold because he had no money to treat him." The disease turned to pneumonia and then died.
An innocent little man who didn't know that he was killed by the fighting method of the upper class until his death.
"Shadow" looks at the conspiracy from the point of view of these innocents.
When Shadow was named Jingzhou, it was completely instrumentalized. He was a tool for the Grand Governor to realize his ambitions.
He said that when he was separated from his mother in Jingzhou, the truth behind it was probably that the uncle of the great governor deliberately deceived him. Just like Zhen Yinglian of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Zhen Yinglian was reported to be raised as a thin horse from Yangzhou, while Shadow was raised as a stand-in.
They all live as a tool.
The most deplorable thing in A Dream of Red Mansions is Zhen Yinglian, who later changed her name to Xiangling, because she has never been able to control her own destiny. The sufferings she suffered are meaningless and have no return. Although she also worked hard to learn to write poetry, it was completely out of the question. It doesn't help.
Shadow theory is also the same fate. He was raised in a dark room when he was a child, and he was trained by various devils, including repeatedly practicing the means of cracking the Yang family's swordsmanship. It seems that it was for him to compete in martial arts and defeat Yang Cang, who is like a martial arts sage. .
However, these are not the purpose of the Grand Governor.
The main function of the shadow is to send death.
It could be said that his suffering was pointless.
This is a torture of the meaning of life.
The movie doesn't give such a sad ending, he gives a sadder ending.
The little man's shadow miraculously survived, and he found his mother. It seems that all these sufferings have been rewarded and their meaning has emerged.
The flip is that at the moment when the body is pulled back, everyone sees a dagger on the chest.
Fate is reversed here, and someone gives him a chance to master his fate.
And the logic behind it is that he changed from the shadow of the great governor to the shadow of the king.
The protagonists are still two big characters.
Fortunately, he took advantage of the fisherman.
Xiao Ai in the story is a bit contradictory. As the wife of the governor, she has a good relationship with her husband, Qin Se and Ming, but she cheated on the shadow. Perhaps after her husband was injured, the husband and wife were indifferent for many years and used the shadow as the real body. understandable. But as a person who can understand the kung fu of cracking swordsmanship, she can play tricks under her husband. In the end, when she faced the three-way lore in the court, she only wailed. Personally, she felt a little unreasonable.
In fact, I think Xiao Ai is also a pawn under the conspiracy of the big man. She seems to have a distinguished status, but when the shadow said that I didn't leave because of you, she might also be the bait that her husband deliberately set out to catch the shadow. That's why the governor can only watch his wife and his shadow cheating in the secret room, but he will only grit his teeth, but not desperately.
