To be honest, I think Brother Jin has portrayed the role of the warden so well that the three people he brings are wrong. It takes acting skills to make people say that "beauty is justice". Brother Jin is indeed terribly handsome in "Slaying the Wolf 2", and it is dehumanizing, but I believe this is not the most important reason why everyone likes this character so much. The entire film of the warden is actually only about 19 minutes long. The background about his identity is blurred, and there are not many lines, but he shines so brightly that people can't take their eyes off it.

It is not easy for the "villain" to make the audience empathize. If it was the first time that I didn't want the "positive character" Miao Sir to be saved when I watched Gorgor's "Gun King" before, I would be forgiven, because Although the character setting of Rick is anti-social, it is indeed forced by the police officers' various bad tactics. "Even if Gorgor plays a lunatic, a killer, a neurotic that everyone 'gets it and kills it', it won't change his charm." But his feelings for the warden make no sense. He is a complete villain, on the surface. He is the warden of the prison. In fact, his identity is just a cover for him to help the boss in the organ smuggling business. Even if he catches a pregnant woman, it has nothing to do with him. For such a person, when he shot an innocent girl without looking back, all I paid attention to was the slickness of his throwing the gun; Throw it to feed the dog", I just thought that there is still someone who can speak Korean so cool, because his voice and vicious words are as pleasant as music to my ears, even if the person who is going to be fed to the dog still has A daughter; when the protagonist team fought back for Sha and got a few benefits from their fists, I hoped that the warden would tear their throats apart in the next second... How terrible! This person is so bad, cruel and cruel, and human life is nothing to him, but I not only want him to live, but also better not to suffer any harm, even if it costs the lives of all the people inside. (Well, Sha is still excluded) I only realized this problem when I watched it for the third time. Are there still three views? The three views have been broken into slag. . .

I think a good actor is not what he should act like, but what he should act. My brother said that a role is a life. When an actor really plays his role, you won't do any character analysis at all when you watch it for the first time, because the play is so exciting, where will there be time to analyze the characters. This is also the reason why the classic works are not tired of reading, and every time you look at it, there is something new for people to discover.

Going back to the topic, the scene that impressed me the most was the reaction of the warden when Mr. Hong said, "If it wasn't for me, he would have been fed dogs in Cambodia." Here is a long-lens close-up of the face. , Originally, there was no expression, but when he heard the dog's pupils dilated slightly, his Adam's apple rolled a little, and then he returned to a calm state. This is the only sentence about the background of the prison warden. The flash of expression makes people think it is an illusion, but in fact it betrays his emotions. Seemingly disgusted, angry, uncomfortable, and reluctant to be mentioned. When I watched it for the first time, I admired Brother Jin's performance here, and later I found out that it was also his most satisfying scene.

After watching the edited video about the warden more than 50 times, and adding a lot of behind-the-scenes tidbits, interviews and film reviews, I finally have a deeper understanding of this character. You see, whenever he appears, he always wears a suit and leather shoes, wears a watch, and carries a handkerchief. To measure, not to mention that the offices in the prison are made like works of art. Not only is he proficient in Thai, Korean, Cantonese, English, Mandarin and maybe even more, but he also has martial arts skills and is so handsome, but he probably never thinks he is handsome. Such a good person can only stay in the dark quagmire, doing business of smuggling organs, making dirty and bloody money, and seeing the light of day. In fact, he hated it, not only hating the surrounding environment, but also hating himself. Excessively refined on the outside, but dirty on the inside. What kind of unbearable past does a person have to work so hard and desperately climb up, push himself to the limit, do everything he can, do his best, stomp the past under his feet, and don't want to have anything with it. The slightest connection. The present self is noble, and every move and every move has the style of an upper-class person. Some people describe him as "violent and elegant", which I think is very appropriate.

But trying so hard and desperately trying to completely obliterate the past is no match for the boss's understatement. I remember that after the warden held Achai's chin with his hand, he received a slow motion of throwing a fist at Achai, which was later blocked by Wu Jingge. It is this slow down picture, with elegant movements and sharp eyes, like a snake. I know a lot of people have used tiger or cheetah to describe the warden, but he feels like a snake to me. For Hong Wengang, Gao Jin is undoubtedly his right-hand man, but his ability is too strong, but he is also very ambitious and greedy (why do you say this, I read someone on Weibo said that Brother Jin mentioned the warden during an interview). Background, "I used to sell drugs in Cambodia. I lost when I was black and I was dragged to be buried alive. It was Mr. Hong who bought him and worked for him since then. Even if he followed a good person, he might not have a good one. A little ending, because this character is a poisonous snake, and there was no possibility of whitewashing before and now”). Keeping such a person by his side is a danger to raising tigers. He knows how much Gao Jin cares about the past, but he still wants to mention it in front of so many people, so that he can always remember not to Forget your identity, don't forget what kind of person you are, even if you wear a dragon robe, you are not a prince.

But Hong Wengang didn't know and couldn't make such a bet. Maybe he also understood that since he rescued him, Gao Jin would follow him wholeheartedly and work for him. If you want to subdue such a person, you just need to give him a life, and from then on go through fire and water, whatever you want. What I want to say here is that the warden is actually a very simple person, but his values ​​are distorted, but maybe he has no values ​​at all, and he does so many things to repay his gratitude. If you treat him well, he will also treat you well, but when he treats you well, you must also reciprocate, at least you must not "betray" him. For example, Ah Chai, if you want money, the warden will give you money, and if you want bone marrow matching, you will also get it for you. Naturally, it is not a white gang. At first, I felt strange, how to treat Ah Chai so well, maybe it is in prison When I saw him sparring with Wu Jing, I thought he was good at it and wanted to train him as an assistant. But now it's alright, I have high hopes for you, what do you want, who knows how you treat me like this? ! So the warden is very angry, the consequences are very serious. "Hope, it's not every day; it's you who killed your own daughter." The warden's eyes were red here. He also said before, "If you don't do it, I'll sell this girl to someone else." If you don't want a profitable business, just kill it, it seems that you are really too angry. It's rare to be a good person once, but the other party doesn't appreciate it. It's really hateful.

I finished watching "Underworld 2" yesterday, and many people said that the meat grinder would make me vomit. To be honest, I think it's... good. When Jimmy came in with a kitchen knife, I was thinking that maybe he was going to take off the man's arm and feed it directly to the dog, but he actually dropped a big live human and then smashed it into minced meat to feed the dog. Can't find words to describe him. But as far as this scene is concerned, I think I can continue to watch it, but when it comes to feeding the dog, I suddenly think of the warden, thinking that if Hong Wengang didn't spend money to buy him, this is what happened to him, and suddenly my stomach was churning. , I want to vomit but I can't, I can't cry if I want to. What am I crying for? Human life is so trivial, in fact, the warden is no different, how noble a person can be, and when he dies, it is not as trivial as grass mustard. It's just that he is lucky, and his life should not end at that time, otherwise he will also become a bowl of dog food. I can't think about it anymore. In the movie, the guy hired by Jimmy said "add money, you're crazy, you're going to have nightmares for the rest of your life."

I don't like the role of Hong Wengang. To be honest, Gao Jin is his subordinate and does the same thing, but I have no sympathy for Mr. Hong at all, and I don't think he has anything worthy of sympathy. I just don't like it very much. character, but he saved him so that he still had a decent way to die in the end.

When it comes to the ending, I personally think that the ending of the warden is actually perfect, except that the ending of the protagonist is a bit nonsense. Maybe everyone doesn't want him to die, but he has to end in this way. This is the fate of his corresponding Greedy Wolf Star, who died on what he valued most (his dignity has always been reflected through appearance) , a tie to end his life is better than feeding a dog, at least clean, decent, and maintain his last dignity. In fact, if he lets go, he can pull a back, but this is not his focus. He pulls the chain and smiles contemptuously at Wu Jing, thinking that he has won and that he wants to survive, just like many years ago in Cambodia. The bottom is crawling and rolling, even when he is dying, he still wants to live.
