The mean is the pass of the mean, and the noble is the epitaph of the noble
The real essence of the underworld is - deceit, ambition, betrayal, and slaughter.
I watched this movie more than ten years ago, and now I look back at it again, with less anger of youth and more numbness and sadness.
What the chairman of the entrepreneur said to Bingdou, "Who do I need and what does he need?" has become the epitome of this social survival law.
I had no intention of embarking on the path of crime, but chose this path in order to support the family's financial support. Bing Doo did not have much ambition and desire, but was forced to become a gangster, and he went astray step by step.
His boss didn't do him any favors. As a second- and third-rank hooligan, he couldn't bring stable economic income to his family at all. Every time he humbly asked the boss for a little more money, he was treated as a licking dog. Usually, the call comes and goes, but even so, he still did not forget to say to his subordinates, "Even if the gangster starves to death, they must rely on their self-esteem. Once they abandon their self-esteem, they are hooligans." The chairman of the family was dissatisfied with the prosecutor, and he didn’t know if it was an opportunity or a trap. Byong Doo, who needed money, had to take the risk and take the job. This murder case directly rewrote Bing Doo's fate, and also planted the seeds of subsequent tragedies.
The second master was very dissatisfied with Bingdou for going over himself to ask the entrepreneur president for an errand, and decided to kill Bingdou, and after learning about this, Bingdou decided to start first.... On the other hand, Bingdou agreed. At the request of his former college friend, Minho, let him quietly observe the life of the underworld, Zeng Buoyue proudly said to Minho, "I want to photograph the essence of the underworld", but he forgot that the essence of the underworld is - Deception, ambition, betrayal, murder of the Lord. In Minho's dormitory, the simple Byeong-doo unguardedly revealed the fact that he killed the prosecutor and the second boss, and inadvertently revealed his method of committing the crime. When these clips were re-enacted in the movie, Byung-doo was in a state of doom.
In the end, when Bingdou was betrayed by his own men, when the knife stabbed into his chest again and again, the blood spurted out of his black clothes, reflecting his astonished expression. He has always been a brother like a family, but eventually betrayed him. Betrayal and slaughter of the lord, after all, cannot escape the death of this underworld.
The betrayal buried Bing Doo's body in the snow, along with his identity card, pictures with his family and Hyun Joo, which were slowly reduced to ashes in the flames. Bingdou's pure hope also vanished, but it was just a snowflake falling in the winter, and it was fleeting. This is a speck of ashes of the times. It fell on Bingdou and his family, but it became a mountain.
There is only one protagonist in the film, but he deduces the struggle on the road of survival and the shadow of social refraction. Byung Doo doesn't really belong to the underworld, he still retains a trace of innocence, and he delusionally wants to quit the underworld circle for Hyun Joo and his family. He also trusts his director friend Min Ho, whom he has never met for more than ten years, and finally died in his most trusted brother. on hand. The birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys cook. The fate that no one can escape has been engraved on the ancestral monument for thousands of years. The rolling torrent of history engulfs everyone in the society, with the bad deeds of those despicable people, and sails together to the next sea, quiet and deep, but bloody and sinful.
