After watching Jia Kechang's "Children of the Rivers and Lakes", I had the illusion that I have become awesome, because I remember that Jia Zhangke's films will not easily make people feel the straightforward truth, and it will not be so easy to make people feel The distance of performance. So I found the prequel of "Children of Jianghu" on the Internet again - "The Good Man of the Three Gorges".
However, after watching "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", I had to exclaim that this is a masterpiece! Worthy of the Golden Lion Award! After that, such high-level films as Mr. Jia are no longer seen.
Art itself exists, and his height really has nothing to do with time and space and growth.
I watched this movie 12 years ago, and I was very sensitive at that time. The most shocking thing about this movie was that I heard the most clumsy and vulgar but most touching "Two Butterflies".
This time I re-watched "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", but it was a small detail that made me ponder the most.
After visiting his brother-in-law for the first time, Han Sanming returned to the messy residence to chat with his co-workers. The TV behind him was playing a TV series.
It's such a small detail that seems to have nothing to do with the whole plot. But stemming from my love for the "Three Kingdoms" story, I quickly found out that this TV series is the 1994 CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
And I am particularly concerned about this detail. I vaguely think this detail is very important, because the plot is very complete. During Han Sanming's chat with his co-workers, Zhang Fei appeared in a filial piety shirt with wide-eyed eyes. The complete plot paragraphs of Liu Bei, panicked Zhuge Liang.
I followed this line of thinking and quickly found this episode.
The 1994 edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms Episode 62
What is this paragraph about in this episode? This is Zhang Fei, who wears filial piety for Guan Yu, who came to hold Liu Bei accountable.
When the smartest Zhuge Liang disapproved of revenge, the stupidest Zhang Fei came to question Liu Bei, did you forget your oath when you became emperor? .
Stupid people, looking at the bustling crowd, watching the materialistic world, swaying to the left and right, drifting with the tide, the yang and the yin violated, the day and the night changed.
Mountains can be moved away, rivers can flow upstream, and the rivers and mountains are no longer the same as they used to be. Wealth can be exchanged for everything, and the world can be changed. Those old vows and feelings, what else is worth defending?
Liu Bei worshipped you in the past, but now he has become an emperor. He can't say that he died in the same year, the same month, the same day, and he really has to die for the two of you, right?
Oops, watching a TV series and talking so much nonsense, is there such a far-fetched relationship between the Three Kingdoms and the good people of the Three Gorges?
Yes, the story of "The Three Gorges" takes place in Fengjie, Chongqing, where there is a very famous place called Baidicheng.
In the real history, in order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei, the emperor of Zhaolie, abandoned the country and the people, abandoned his lifelong ideal of "reviving the Han Dynasty", and attacked Eastern Wu, ruining the last hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty.
He was defeated and finally died in Baidicheng.
The so-called prophecy is true, the third brother promised that "I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day." Although he did not die on the same day, it did not exceed three episodes.
I firmly believe that without Liu Bei's Battle of Yiling, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms would have been completed and would be a literary and artistic work of another level
The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, the wealth is trillions, and all living beings chase it. An emperor sacrificed his country to defend his old oath. And Guo Bin, what are you? He even acted in two movies!
In the movie, after the scene where the actors of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang in the Sichuan Opera play a game offstage. Han Sanming's friend Xiao Ma died in the rivers and lakes. The kind-hearted Han Sanming gave him a funeral according to the local etiquette, and then found his former wife Yaomei.
