Why the South and not the East? The west? north? In one scene, Zhou Zenong said where did he escape to? A friend said: go to the south, keep going south. Geographically, Wuhan is in the south, but not the south. This is just a geographic interpretation. In this land of China, in the north, there is a chill all the way to the north, the west always makes people feel that it is towards mystery and tranquility, and the east is towards the light. The south symbolizes heat and restlessness. The party happened right from the start. The party at Nanfang Station is the place where Zhou Zenong and Liu Ai'ai meet at the beginning of the movie. However, they shouldn't have a party. The first half of the movie explained the reason for their meeting: they were framed by the people around them, and they asked their friend Huahua to help them. The premise of the report is to arrange for his wife to meet him. In other words, this should have been a "party at Nanfang Station" with his ex-wife about Zhou Zenong's self-salvation. However, due to the resistance of the police, Liu Aibi was involved. This station party became Zhou and Liu's party, so in the first half of the movie, Zhou kept asking where his wife Yang Shujun was and why she didn't come. Liu Ze repeatedly said: I can replace her. What to replace her with? Become a new medium for the road to self-redemption. Why choose to meet at the station? Zhou and Liu explained two points in their conversation: (1) Suburban stations are blind spots for the police force; (2) A place with more people is safer. In fact, I am more concerned with the symbolic meaning of the three words in the title of the movie. "Station" implies "on the road", "in the road" or "coming soon", not over yet. Therefore, this film is not to express the violent aesthetics of a rural fight, but to present a marginal character's difficult road to self-redemption. Among the difficulties, there are not only underworld forces (another faction of car thieves), but also the betrayal of friends, and bystanders who want to seek benefits, but the film really spends space to show the police as a symbol of justice. This is a bit ironic. The biggest obstacle for desperate people to do good is actually the side of justice. The police in the film often show funny scenes. For example, Team Liu criticizes the team members who are dressed in trendy clothes. The scene of the thief's meeting is exactly the same, but with a face of justice, and Zhou Zenong and the car thief also used electric vehicles when the police chased them down. I thought the movie would have an open ending. Indeed, Liu Ai'ai lived up to the trust and seemed to be ready to hand over the money to Yang Shujun or "split the spoils" with him. This scene was discovered by Team Liu. If the movie stops abruptly here, there may be an open-ended suspense. Whether Team Liu reports and exposes this consideration will make the redemption theme of the movie complete, and the audience will believe it as much as possible, and Team Liu will also be felt. Moved. However, the movie did not end, and it seemed warm but extremely rude to present a detail: Liu was holding the money, and Yang was also holding the money in a very twisted manner. In the end, the two laughed in relief. After relief, the film appeared very Weird subtitles, to the effect that Liu Ai'ai was exposed. Simple and crisp. Who exposed it? Liu team. In the face of justice, there is no need for too many possibilities and no need for openness. Zhou Zenong's journey of redemption failed in the end. Mistakes are always wrong in the face of justice, no matter what kind of deception is designed, no matter what guilt and regret, love and kindness behind them—they can move everything, but they cannot move justice. Just like Zhou was finally shot by the river, he crawled to the river, but the moment he touched the water, he failed forever. Zhou's fate is failure, failure in the face of justice.
