Yaxin's father had always hoped that he could be restored to his original position and lead the clan to live upright and upright again. To this end, he was loyal and devoted himself to the saddle. However, the ending was tragic, and the tribe was wiped out.
Writing this film review is to use this story to think about the system, and to use the characters in the story to write some of my own understanding.
First, how is the promotion in the system?
Is credit and hard work a necessary condition for promotion? Yes, but it doesn't matter. Officials in the system are all pits for each turnip. Unless a turnip retreats, it will be difficult for new pits to be vacated. With the economic downturn, more and more outstanding young people choose this kind of work in the system to ensure income under drought and flood. The number of leadership positions, the number of outflows, and the number of new employees imported are completely disproportionate. In addition, there is a certain culture of seniority in the system. This has resulted in a very small number of people who are proud of each year's provision and the majority who are disappointed.
Back in the film, as Po Zhuwei continues to annex the surrounding Jurchen tribes, more and more failed Jurchens will run over to defect to the Joseon Dynasty. Yaxin's tribe is not special, and most of the jobs they are engaged in are cannon fodder that can be replaced at any time. Work. Working hard and being loyal only proves to be a reliable tool, not a necessary condition for promotion.
So, is there anything beyond the traditional shackles of seniority?
Of course there are, blood, in-laws, classmates, teachers and students. The Haiyuan Zhao family in the movie is an obvious example. Moreover, the local first-in-command is generally a famous family, and the second-in-command is a capable person in charge of specific affairs. Refer to the first-in-command Zhao, and the second-in-command is the general of the camp.
Yaxin succeeded her father as the new North Korean spy. During this period, she practiced martial arts diligently and did a good job in drawing and paperwork, which was much better than her father's. However, as a foreigner, and her father's loyal and honest cowardly image penetrated into the leader's heart, it was difficult for Yaxin to be ranked as a malleable talent by the leader, and she did not pay attention to her being bullied in the military camp.
Second, is the system your strong backing?
It depends on your own worth, the identity of the adversary threatening you, and the stakes of the matter. For example, the young Yaxin said that his father was born and died for North Korea, and he hoped that North Korea could avenge his father. The reply of the general guard is very worth pondering. Similarly, the Fanhu tribe of the old, weak, women and children ambushed and killed 15 Po Zhu Guards. How could the leader of Po Zhu Guard believe this kind of nonsense? However, both Po Zhuwei and North Korea couldn't help each other. One sold his temporary workers, and the other killed the so-called "culprit" and asked each other for peace of mind.
Thus, arrogance is not an obstacle to survival, weakness and ignorance are.
Of course, for an orphan like Yaxin, the system is a beast that can threaten her. The first soldier who entered the house was subdued by Yashin and said what would happen if you killed a North Korean soldier, and then logically raped her. One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, Yaxin does dirty work during the day and becomes a tool for the soldiers to vent their desires at night. Is Yaxin unable to beat these uncles? It was the system behind it that made Yaxin dare not resist.
Third, whether or not to blacken
Don't, because it's useless. Film and television works often mislead young people, as if blackening can gain powerful power. Yaxin in the story has mastered the secret of life and death, and can make zombies to avenge himself. But what about in reality? Kill a few soldiers who raped themselves and get caught and beheaded? Going to Po Zhuwei to tell Po Zhuwei the truth, Po Zhuwei can't help North Korea, just like North Korea can't help Po Zhuwei, be Po Zhuwei's spy? Become a tool for another group of men at night?
Blackening is a process, not an instantaneous result. Rather than calling it blackening, it is better to say that a person's heart slowly matures, and he begins to understand things with reason. This is a process of thinking training, not a derogatory term. Emotional blackening only destroys oneself.
Fourth, how to achieve the goal
If Yaxin created an army of zombies like this, he would be noticed by the North Korean officials after slaughtering a few small towns. The first generation of zombies is not contagious, afraid of fire, and loses its combat effectiveness with headshots. To expect such a defective product to take revenge is nothing short of a dream. The film handles Yaxin's revenge very well, using the power struggle in the North Korean officialdom to tell the old doctor the secret of life and death, and then observe it quietly. Sure enough, in the second season of the first season of the kingdom, the clear and turbid currents of the court fought to the death, and the grass of life and death extended from the original waste four counties all the way to all parts of Korea.
Be good at planning, make plans, take one step at a time, and observe.
Just write so much.
