Brother Bin, who appeared in the film in the image of a gang leader, never hit anyone from the beginning to the end, and he was too harsh. The gun he carried seemed to be a symbol of his identity and a male ornament. The next jump. The only time that Brother Bin can be seen on the screen in more than ten years is when he is half-paralyzed and taken home by chance, and throws the food to the ground after paying the boss's money with the chef below.
Brother Bin is a boss living in a dream. Qiaoqiao is his only audience.
Influenced by a series of movies such as "Young and Dangerous" and "The True Color of Heroes" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, in the 1980s, there were a group of teenagers who were trying to win over a group of younger brothers. What injustice is said and said, I say you have to listen to the dream. They often talk about the rivers and lakes, but they are slow to respond to the changes of the times. They know ignorantly that they are walking between black and white, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed, but they are obsessed with the rivers and lakes they created. Their mouths are full of loyalty and love, and Tianwang Laozi is not afraid, but their hearts are extremely turbulent, never peaceful, and even more timid than ordinary people.
Brother Bin is such an image. On weekdays, he would sit in a small and dirty mahjong parlour, and someone would light a cigarette. When he arrived at the ballroom, a group of people surrounded him, and he followed him by chance. He was as majestic as a triad boss. However, such a triad boss and his girlfriend go out for a walk, and they can be discounted by two unknown little Luoluo.
He was confused about the future. Qiaoqiao once told him that he wanted to buy a house for his father. Qiaoqiao reminded him that three years have passed since the minutes you said. He did not answer. As for the relationship between him and Qiaoqiao, he never admitted it from the beginning, only said "take it slow". He speaks like an old fritter who has been in the arena for many years and educates a new ignorant younger brother. He doesn't even bother to explain, which means that at your level, I don't bother to tell you, you should read more and learn more. When watching a Hong Kong gangster movie with a group of younger brothers and seeing Chow Yun-fat being beaten up, everyone was smoking a cigarette, but he had a complicated expression. From that moment, he suddenly realized that being the boss is not only about being the boss. Enjoy the scenery, brag, and take risks.
Brother Bin once joked that Qiao Qiao was not from the Jianghu. It doesn't matter if there are people in the arena or not, what matters is whether you understand the arena or not. At the critical moment, no one in the Jianghu stepped forward, and Qiaoqiao from outside the Jianghu pulled Brother Bin's gun, saved Brother Bin's life, resisted all the way to the end, and took the blame for him and went to jail. This woman didn't hesitate when she shot, and she didn't shed a single tear when she was in jail, but in the rainy night, when she parted face-to-face with Brother Bin, she shrugged her shoulders behind his back and cried. Brother Bin turned his face ruthlessly and said that he was no longer in the world, which meant that he could be ruthless and unrighteous.
What exactly is Jianghu?
In Brother Bin's eyes, Jianghu is a dream woven by one person, and everything is dominated by the king in the dream, that is, being the boss of the underworld. And once you're not the boss, you won't be called Jianghu outside your dreams. But in fact, where is not the rivers and lakes? Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Qiaoqiao's survival in prison is not a river and lake? Isn't the liar and the motorcycle driver who tried to rape her the liar she met after being released from prison? She is well versed in the rules of the rivers and lakes, and uses it wisely, so she can easily sneak into the wedding, eat and drink, and defraud others of money. She also knows the bottom line of the rivers and lakes. She only eats cheap noodles at the wedding, and she only deceives the boss and the big money. She is even more interested in the love in the rivers and lakes. When Brother Bin was paralyzed, he accepted him again without hesitation. It's not just because of love, even if it's not Brother Bin, it's any younger brother who used to be by Brother Bin's side, as long as she has the ability, she will pull a hand. After being taken over by Qiaoqiao, Brother Bin was paralyzed and asked Li Xuan, the younger brother who used to be with him, how he got along with Qiaoqiao. Li Xuan said that you threw me in a place where birds don't shit, and if something goes wrong, you don't care about me. What can I do alone? The implication is what is the meaning of your so-called Jianghu affection?
I have to say that Jia Zhangke really found the right actor, and Zhao Tao is as precise as ever. The acting skills in this film can be described as gods, from the young girlfriend next to Brother Bin to a lonely and strong middle-aged woman, in this age span, the movements and expressions of every age group are stuck at the point.
I even wondered if her figure could be ever-changing. When Brother Bin was at his best, she was enchanting and light-hearted beside him, with a delicate face. But when she came out of the prison, I suddenly felt that her butt was sinking, her waist was thick, she was aging, her whole body was going down, and her mental state was going down. But when she stood in the wilderness of Xinjiang and saw the sky flickering bright and dark like a flying saucer, her face showed a firm brilliance, and her eyes were bright again.
The most amazing thing is that when Brother Bin asked her if she hated herself, she pushed her wheelchair and said that she would stop hating if she didn't have love, but her eyes were trembling and closed, her eyelashes were shaking all the time, she was desperately suppressing. own tears. This scene made me forget I was watching the movie, as if everything was real. Liao Fan also interprets the image of a useless underworld boss, the tears in his eyes when he broke up with Qiaoqiao, the guilt looming on his face, and the decision to give up love for having to achieve his goals is all in place.
I really hope Brother Bin, after realizing the reality, just stay with Qiaoqiao like that. But no matter how old a man is, it will not make people worry. He is going to find that lost dream, or cherish half of his life for that dream alone, and what can a woman who is such a man do except when the audience watches it all happen?
In the end, Jia Zhangke's movies always have a heartwarming old song, and this time is no exception. It's still Ye Qianwen's. The name is "Drunken Life", which is the theme song of the Hong Kong movie "Blood Two Heroes".
