Some of the brightest and most imperceptible little details in "Shadow"

①The medicine must be used within two hours

Ziyu did predict things like God. The first time Pei Wang used Qin Se to test it was just intuition. He would soon test his injury, so he carved a real injury on Jingzhou. Before leaving, Ziyu's wife Xiaoai told Jingzhou to take medicine. Must be applied within two hours

This is a very interesting detail. Apart from the seven days that run through the whole film, there is actually no time that needs to be emphasized, but it just needs to be painted within two hours. Zi Yu said that the injury he did cannot be seen through. , This is true, but it must be based on the premise that Jingzhou applies medicine on time, but judging from the expression of Tian Zhan, a person with extensive experience in injuries, no one can hide this injury, and there must be some strange;

In fact, Jingzhou should be painted on the way forward. After all, the time for the court to discuss matters cannot be constant, but in the end we saw that Jingzhou was painted on the return boat.

This can only show that Jingzhou noticed that King Pei was suspicious, and from the beginning he was by no means a chess piece that blindly obeyed. He always left a way for himself. This new injury is that he passed the message that he was a shadow. best chance for king

He was betting on a 1 in 10,000 chance that if he could come back alive from Yang Cang's hands, he would have to use the king to protect himself, because if the king had him, he could openly and secretly eradicate the real body, and he was the most beneficial to the king. Of course, he has always been guarded against others, and the state of being harmful is in the form, and the development of the last thing also verified that he did everything right, and he has the resourcefulness that rivals the real body.

But the real genius is Xiao Ai. After this incident, she must know that Jingzhou did not take medicine on time, and her test of her husband Zi Yu is even more clever

②Xiao Ai really cares about Jingzhou

Xiao Ai told Zi Yu that Jingzhou performed well in the courtroom, and that he dealt with it freely, just to test whether Ziyu knew that Jingzhou was leaving a way for him, but the conceited Ziyu only thought that King Pei was cheating, after all, he To death, I thought that Jingzhou was absolutely obedient to me. Jingzhou asked no one to care about my life and death. Xiao Ai said, I care. This is true. Some audiences think that the two of them are not well shaped. Suddenly intimacy is more playful, I can only say that Laomouzi gambled a lot, buried deep, insisted on being himself, and kept his emotions as restrained as possible, but the emotions of the two of them really paved the way for a lot.

③The replacement of shadow and real body

Yin and Yang, male and female, light and shadow, black and white, these elements are constantly used and emphasized throughout the film. Jingzhou's imprisonment is a shadow that no one knows about. When the shadow is released, the real body has to be imprisoned. , but the same is imprisoned, the shadow is still the shadow manipulated by the real body, so it doesn't matter whether you are imprisoned or not, it is important to have a good body, otherwise Jiangshan and his wife will not have to, just kidding, hahaha

④Another possibility of the ending

Every ending must have a value corresponding to the choice of that ending

Legends are often told about the one in ten thousand possibility. Jingzhou has actually gambled his determination to die against Yang Cang, and even when Yang Cang was about to end in a tie, he saw that the handsome flag had not fallen for the sake of justice. The overall situation, force Yang Cang to play another game, showing the true character of a hero, I am thinking that surviving from Yang Cang's hands is one in ten thousand things, no matter whether Jingzhou lives or dies, King Pei will never let Ziyu go. There is no need to let Zi Yu go. After all, it can be said that he was killed by Yang Cang's duel, but in fact, the moment Jingzhou informed King Pei of the information, he did not think that the real body would be buried with him, and the one who killed Ziyu was still dead. It was his own conceit, he believed Tian Zhan and spoke back to him

If Zi Yu didn't say that Tian Zhan wanted to be king by himself, such as making up a pension or something like that, he would not have much time anyway, and his body would not be able to reproduce offspring, he was just living for the pleasure of manipulative tactics, and it was inappropriate. There is a difference between this king and his hair, just like he said that the king has the usefulness of the king. If he chooses not to fight for this king, Peiliang will have no reason to get rid of him. I always feel that Zi Yu's design is low in this play, and he is independent. The reason to be king is really not good enough

If it turns out that King Pei and Ziyu have a good heart, they will act together to deceive Yang Cang, take Jingzhou, and leave the world a good talk. Shadow Jingzhou probably retired as a hero. Of course, the emphasis here is that Ziyu has a little mind. Distortion, and finally let him die in his own conceit, telling people that they must not be too conceited while insisting on being themselves, thinking that they are omnipotent

He wants to win Jingzhou, and he can't allow such a good self to end in failure. I feel that there is a shadow of Laomouzi in this role, the Great Wall is poisonous, haha, just kidding, don't take it seriously

What's interesting is that in the end, Zi Yu dragged his seriously ill body to kill several royal assassins. It was also one in ten thousand things. If he was really killed by the assassins, Jingzhou, Xiao Ai, and King Pei would all benefit. This is a happy ending, so I was wondering what the values ​​conveyed behind the ending that King Pei must die. In fact, he died and his beloved sister was punished. I thought about it for a long time, but I can't say that he died in Don't dare to be yourself, after all, no matter how Jingzhou is taken back in the end, it is a national act. He can't say that it is Ziyu's personal act. Unless he is sent back to others, he will always have to take responsibility. There is something that dares not go up on his own, and it is very correct to do so as the king of a country. If Ziyu fails, he can have an excuse to avoid the war in the country. It can be said that he is quite responsible to the common people, so I think he is really. The unjust death, the one in 10,000 chance of death, and the fact that the plot creation is still a reversal

Jingzhou is probably the shadow of Ziyu, and Ziyu is the shadow of King Pei. They both know each other too well, and Xiao Ai, who lives in the shadow, is the most difficult person to choose, but as she said, she If you don't care about Jingzhou, if you don't have that person who really cares about you, you can only be a shadow forever, and you can't become your real body in the eyes of others.

Finally, I personally think that the highlight of the whole film is the scene where a large group of people sit on the umbrella and slide down. It is very imaginative. I feel that the film and television city can launch a similar drifting project, hahahahahahahaha, looking forward to Laomouzi next
