Four years later, I saw this movie again, and I used it to perfunctory time with boredom. It is said that this movie was made into a movie after countless editing by Jiang Wen, a rare domestic feature! But after watching it, I feel that Jiang Wen has really worked hard. This 140-minute film is represented by black and white footage. Until the end, there is a color picture, but the person has died and the curtain has fallen.. . This black humor is really black like a movie!
It seems that the reason for the ban was because there was no glorious anti-Japanese DY in this anti-Japanese movie, and Jiang Wen was not obedient at that time.
But there are still anti-Japanese heroes, that is the one at the beginning of the film: "I", this "I" inexplicably threw the captured devils Hanaya Kozaburo and traitor Dong Hanchen to Ma Dasanjia, a villager in Hangjiatai where the devils were stationed, and then let go No matter what, what is left is the panic of Ma Dasan and the whole village of Jiaojiatai! The whole village struggled for more than half a year about how to deal with these two devils who came, and finally the ignorant villagers decided to return the Japanese, and naively thought that they could return the food! When the food was delivered to the village and the happy villagers had a party with the Japanese army, it became the last massacre before the devils announced their surrender! Ma Dasan, who was not present, survived, but at this time he was completely distorted. The long-term oppression had made him crazy. He dressed up as a cigarette merchant and killed himself in the prison camp, but in the end he had his compatriots arrested and put on trial. Execution, the funny thing is that the one who executed him was his captive, Hanaya Kosaburo, the former was ignorant, the latter was impulsive and ignorant...
I think Jiang Wen is the most metaphorical director among Chinese directors! He is always holding a magnifying glass to find the most profound aspect of the characteristics of each era, and quietly embarrassing people, making people feel ashamed!
This is a movie about the Anti-Japanese War, the best anti-Japanese movie I have ever seen! Because this film did not show off, he exposed the cruelty of war, as well as human nature, the inferiority of that generation of Chinese, and maybe every generation!
Ma Dasan is the most common Chinese peasant: kind, ignorant, superstitious, timid, and cowardly. These two devils tortured him for more than half a year and wanted to kill him, but he was afraid that the Japanese would find out, and he was afraid that the other side would come and ask someone to hand him over. The most important thing was that he was superstitious and didn't dare to kill, because he was afraid of retribution, and afraid that his woman was pregnant with ghosts. , but when other villagers forced him to have nowhere to go again and again, the two devils proposed the idea of sending him back to the county town to exchange food for the villagers, which gave him hope. Because of his persistence, the devils returned to the base camp and got the Food, here, Jiang Wen made a sarcastic sarcasm. The translator suggested that the Japanese army commander should not execute the contract, but the result was a ridicule: "We Japanese are not as untrustworthy as you Chinese." This sentence came to me. It's really jarring.
This movie that reflects the darkness of that generation was also blocked because of contemporary fears. It should be true. Jiang Wen's two paragraphs in the film also reflect this phenomenon, Yi Dao Liu and Kuomintang officers. One said that he had rich experience, that he would never be wrong in killing people, and that he had been enshrined for generations. The eight ministers of Cixi were all beheaded by him, but he could not even kill a Japanese prisoner. A flamboyant person, on the pretext of an armistice treaty, convicted Ma Dasan on behalf of the government and the people. He can't even deal with the devils, but he is very cruel to the common people. It really is the representative of "the foreign must first be safe".
At the end of this black and white film, when Ma Dasan's raised head was cut off, he saw the color with Ma Dasan's eyes, and the bright red color was shocking. ------------- "For the last piece of red, it's worth shooting all the front parts in black and white." (Jiang Wenyu)
The ending of this film is that the entire village of Hangjiatai falls in In the fire, he disappeared under the butcher's knife of the devil, and the general of the National Army of the Anti-Japanese War let the axe chop the Japanese prisoner of war Ma Dasan beheaded by the captured little devil Hanaya. This is the sadness of the Chinese. Why a continent has been ravaged by a small island for so many years is because of the incompetence of the authorities, and more because of the inferiority of the contemporary people. The hospitable Chinese people have been entertaining foreigners for two hundred years! Over the years, some people have raised their arms, but the raised arms are often not broken by outsiders, but their own black hands!
Many times, it is not the ferocity and power of others, but our own ignorance and self-mutilation.
Are the devils here? Is it really coming? He actually didn't come, because he was always in my heart!
