It's been a while since "Shadow" was released. People who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it are still cursing. Da Cong believes that time is the best proof, just like the effect caused by "Heroes".
"Shadow"'s blank space for the plot is also a place for everyone to actively discuss, just as the movie Pei Wang said, "The truth is true and false."
Before that, Da Cong wrote an article: "Shadow" Taiji Figure Metaphor, analysis of the mystery at the end, there are many "Shadow" blank analysis of true and false.
Not long ago, "Shadow" released three unpost-processed clips. These three clips are full of information, filling a lot of blanks in the main film of "Shadow", but at the same time, they also make the ending more confusing.
The first Easter egg clip is when Tian Zhan went to the bamboo forest to look for the dead man after a secret meeting with Ziyu, but was ambushed by the dead man.
This section has added Tian Zhan's scenes, which are mainly action scenes. The reason for deletion is that this section does not have most of the foreshadowing that serves the main line, and this action scene was already given when Ziyu and Tian Zhan were talking to each other. The answer, if this scene is placed in the feature film, it is indeed a bit superfluous.
The second easter egg fragment, the scene is also in the bamboo forest of the dead man, the dead man caught a mysterious man.
This mysterious man is the protagonist, King Pei. Judging from King Pei's demeanor, he can be compared to King Pei in the courtroom.
This also corresponds to the statement at the beginning of "Shadow", "In the brutal battle and the struggle for power, the ancient emperors and nobles inevitably endangered their lives, so the substitutes were secretly used, and they were called "Shadow". So maybe King Pei also has his own shadow.
Tian Zhan is someone who knows that both King Pei and Ziyu have shadows. Judging from the second Easter egg fragment, King Pei and the governor set up a plan to lure the enemy a few months ago to confuse everyone. Faced with the matter of recovering Jingzhou, Prince Pei and Ziyu have a common intention, but Prince Pei and Ziyu have their own scheming.
King Pei suspected that Zi Yu was using the shadow, but he could not sit down and know where Zi Yu was hiding, so King Pei personally went to the bamboo forest to meet Tian Zhan and let Tian Zhan be the undercover agent.
In this paragraph of Tian Zhan's respectful view of King Pei, it also confirms that I guessed that Tian Zhan was not a simple person. Tian Zhan is between Ziyu and King Pei, and he may have been acting as a double agent. Tian Zhan is the king in his heart. Who, becomes more interesting.
The third paragraph is that after Jingzhou was recaptured, before Jingzhou went home to find his mother, Jingzhou put down the token in the barracks, implying that Jingzhou was ready to let go of everything and return home.
This is in sharp contrast to the killing of King Pei and Ziyu by Jingzhou at the end, which also shows that the death of Jingzhou's mother has caused a decisive change in Jingzhou.
Combining these three officially exposed clips, Da Cong has more evidence and conjectures about some of the mysteries of "Shadow".
Assumption one:
If Tian Zhan has always been loyal to the lord, King Pei, then the scene of falling out with King Pei in the courtroom is for Ziyu to see. One of the details is that King Pei misses Tian Zhan's arrow, which is very good. Prove that they are acting.
After Tian Zhan was demoted to a commoner, Zi Yu was able to let go of his guard and accept Tian Zhan completely, so that Tian Zhan could be sure that Zi Yu had activated the shadow, and then Tian Zhan informed Prince Pei of Yu's hiding place, and King Pei was behind. He was able to send assassins to assassinate Zi Yu.
Therefore, at the end of the feature film, King Pei in the court hall can also be boldly assumed to be King Pei's shadow. The surprised look Xiao Ai finally saw at the crack of the door was that after Jingzhou walked out, King Pei appeared in real form and announced The ministers said that Ziyu failed to protect the lord (because the fake King Pei died), and he was executed. King Pei made Tian Zhan as the governor, and King Pei really took the throne of Pei Kingdom.
Therefore, in the whole story of "Shadow", the person who really controls the chess game is King Pei.
Assumption two:
If King Pei had no shadow, Tian Zhan would not be loyal to anyone. On the night after Jingzhou recaptured Jingzhou, he left a token and returned to his hometown to find his mother.
In order to use Jingzhou to participate in his chess game, Tian Zhan secretly killed Jingzhou's mother, sent an assassin to ambush Jingzhou, and then sent an assassin to kill the assassin to save Jingzhou, and told him that King Pei saved him.
Then Tian Zhan told King Pei that Ziyu sent assassins to kill Jingzhou; at the same time, Tian Zhan also told Ziyu that Peigong had faked it in Ziyu.
This caused the three parties to be hostile to each other, and Tian Zhan took advantage of the fisherman. At the end, no matter who came out of the court at the end, as long as Tian Zhan bowed his head and declared himself a minister.
Of course, Tian Zhan hopes that Jingzhou will come out, Jingzhou will be crowned king, Tian Zhan will be crowned governor, Jingzhou has no experience in governing the country, Tian Zhan can listen to the government behind the curtain and become the real king of Pei country.
Therefore, in the whole story of "Shadow", the person who really controls the chess game is Tian Zhan.
Some people may wonder, why did Tian Zhan not swear allegiance to Ziyu?
If Tian Zhan was loyal to Ziyu, it would be difficult to explain how King Pei knew about Ziyu's hiding place, and the only person who could inform was Tian Zhan.
And from the analysis of Tian Zhan's personality, Tian Zhan has a strong heart to regain Jingzhou, and he is a person who has feelings for Peiguo. When Tian Zhan heard that Ziyu was going to be king, Tian Zhan's expression was complicated.
If combined with the second Easter egg fragment, King Pei is actually a person who is sensible, intelligent and loves Pei country, then Tian Zhan does not need to overthrow King Pei, to let Ziyu, who was seriously injured, be the king, and make Pei country fall into chaos .
In any case, Xiao Ai's surprised expression at the end of "Shadow" is open-ended. The above analysis is a verifiable brain hole derived from the three Easter eggs.
Perhaps there is no truth to "Shadow", because the characters in the film all think that they are the ones who control the chessboard, but as everyone knows, they are just chess pieces for each other. A "Rashomon" "Shadow" is even more memorable. .
