1. Entering the "Jungle" When first seeing the title of "Animal World", many people may not think that this is a film closely related to gambling. However, what the film wants to reveal is that many people in casinos in the real world are unavoidable. The greedy nature of animals; on this ship named "Destiny", everyone seems to be in the "jungle", and if they want to be invincible, they can only do whatever they can. It seems to have become commonplace. The film cleverly combines the cool scenes with the discussion of human nature, and explores a life problem about trust and being trusted, betrayal and rebellion, understanding and being understood; on this ship named Destiny, everyone He has his own desires, but fortunately, in this world where the strong eat the weak, Zheng Kaisi finally chose to give up his desires and stick to his own spiritual path. At the same time, in the game of rock-paper-scissors, while retaining a clear description of the world view, it vividly interprets the weaknesses of human nature and the rules of animal nature. As the saying goes, "everyone comes here with their own purpose", but although everyone has a different purpose on board, the desire to get off the boat is the same; So the idea of this group of rabble became the "public" logically, and at the beginning of the film, Zheng Kaisi's sentence "I have a disease in my brain" just means that he is ready to make the opposite choice with the so-called public. . In order to prove that he has a "sick mind", Zheng Kaisi often fantasizes about himself as a hero and thinks that he has the potential to save the world. However, the cruelty of reality often leaves him helpless. Not only does he have to save enough medical expenses for his dying mother, but also To make his girlfriend Liu Qing look up to him, in order to pay off his debts, he had to choose to board the ship, and when he entered the gambling cruise ship named Destiny, he found that a net had already been set up here, this is a place without any rules. There are countless unreasonable unspoken rules hidden in the game field; At this time, Zheng Kaisi had no choice, because in this game of life as a bet, only the desperate can get off the ship smoothly. Now that he has boarded the gambling cruise, what Zheng Kaisi can do at this moment may only be scheming, so in his mind he often fantasizes about the expectations of his mother and girlfriend for him, but it is precisely because of this that he is more confident. When he turned himself into a clown, it seemed to be the beginning of his adherence to humanitarianism, so when he faced the unreasonable rules of the game, he did not want to resort to cheating, and just wanted to get off the boat with his brainpower and perseverance. Before getting off the boat, how to get out of the "jungle" seems to be a huge problem, and at this time, Kai Si never expected that when he boarded the gambling boat, the good show had already begun! 2. The rules of the "rock paper scissors" game are set at the beginning of this game. Everyone has 12 cards and three stars in their hands. Rock paper scissors can be combined evenly. Everyone can choose their opponents. During the duel, each player plays a card, and the winner takes away a star from the opponent. At the same time, the cards played by the two players will also be taken away by the referee one after another. Only when all the cards are released and three stars are kept, the game can be won. , and pay off all debts. Since "rock-paper-scissors" has become a card game on board, it can't just rely on luck, it's more about using your own ingenuity. The method of hoarding cards used by Zheng Kaisi can be said to have half the advantages and disadvantages, because he purely relies on IQ and technology to defeat his opponent, and he does not take measures. Therefore, it can only be said that he has obtained a method with a high winning rate, but cannot Must win. So when Zheng Kaisi met Li Jun for the first time, he experienced the possession of the clown, but at this time he resolutely chose to play against Zhang Jingkun. Zhang Jingkun asked Zheng Kaisi to play the same cards as him, and made an appointment for 12 draws. The two disembarked smoothly, so Zheng Kaisi believed his words and played the same cards as him according to the plan. However, he never thought that Zhang Jingkun was setting up a game for him, and he won in the tenth game. There are no so-called rules of the game in this game, so in the 11th game, Zhang Jingkun pretended to let Zheng Kaisi win back a game, but he was out again, overlapping the two cards, so Zheng Kaisi who entered the scam Kaisi only chooses to team up with "brothers" to win back the lost stars. At this time, Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun only have one star left, and if they lose again, they will only face the fate of being locked in a small black house, so they are looking for people with two stars left to join their team, so they want to pull Meng Guoxiang joined the team, but Meng Guoxiang always expressed doubts about them. This doubt not only stemmed from the fear in their hearts, but also from the uneven cards in their hands; Since Li Jun only played rocks and cloth in the first eight rounds, there are only four scissors left in his hand. At this time, Li Jun and Zheng Kaisi must have three identical cards to win each other, but because Meng Guoxiang doubted them , so he stole one of their cards to play against the other players, and when he lost, the three were left with only four cards and three stars. So Zheng Kaisi found a "loophole" in the rules of the game, and calculated that most of the three cards played by the players were rock-paper-scissors, so he used the so-called inertial thinking to win the second player; He played cards according to balanced thinking, so he would not have thought that Zheng Kaisi only had scissors in his hand. Although Zheng Kaisi won the victory, the number of three kinds of cards was already disproportionate, and the number of cloths was seriously less than scissors and rock. , according to this trend, the cloth will be used up first, leaving scissors and rock, and it seems that you can be in an invincible position until the rock is released. 3. The joint relationship between "self-determined rules" and reshuffling "In the animal world, there are only interests and no feelings." "Humans are for wealth and birds are for food and death." Therefore, on the battlefield without the rules of the game, you can only go by yourself. Make rules, and the rules made by Zheng Kaisi always seem to be different from others. Perhaps this is the meaning of the clown. However, the rules made by Zheng Kaisi did not conform to the so-called "animal attributes", so Zhang Jingkun proposed to reshuffle the cards; in fact, when Zheng Kaisi loaned $500,000 and used $100,000 to help other players buy stones, Zhang Jingkun proposed to reshuffle the cards. The victory was already in their hands, and they had mastered all the whereabouts of Zheng Kaisi. At this time, they still had thirty rocks, two scissors, and four pieces of cloth in their hands; so when all the 34 stones were used up, the four pieces of cloth and two pieces of cloth were left in their hands. Zhang Scissors will have a higher chance of causing a draw, so even if Zheng Kaisi, Li Jun and Meng Guoxiang have a lot of cloth and rocks, they still cannot guarantee a victory. Therefore, Zhang Jingkun decided to crack the hoarding and put forward a suggestion to let everyone participate in the reshuffle. Maybe he knew that only in this way would Zheng Kaisi fall into his trap, so he would be at the mercy of him; however, what surprised him was that Zheng Kaisi Kaisi has already seen his so-called routine, but he just sees it and doesn't say it. In fact, before he shuffled the cards, Zheng Kaisi had already thought that Zhang Jingkun would make a big deal again, so he chose to watch him play it. Therefore, Zheng Kaisi Si pretended to accept 34 pieces of cloth, and at the same time knew that the card in Zhang Jingkun's hand was a rock, and marked the scissors, so he was always looking for someone with scissors to fight. At this time, Zheng Kaisi, Li Jun and Meng Guoxiang had 69 cards and six stars in their hands, and Zhang Jingkun had a stone and eight stars; when Zhang Jingkun was in the game, maybe this was what Zheng Kaisi turned around. Start; However, the so-called random playing of cards seems to be determined by luck alone, but in fact it is a hidden mystery. In fact, Zheng Kaisi wants to eliminate all the cards in Zhang Jingkun's hand. According to the theory, Zheng Kaisi's entry into the small black house has long been a foregone conclusion. , whether Zhang Jingkun's strategy succeeds or fails. In the last round, Zheng Kaisi played the cloth and Zhang Jingkun gave the stone, so Zheng Kaisi won and got five stars; at this time, Zheng Kaisi chose the mode of playing cards by chance. At this time, he would rather enter the small black room than not Playing the cards out, and when Zheng Kaisi entered the small black house empty-handed, his friends seemed to have no reason to redeem him, which also verified the nature of "people die for money", but fortunately, Zheng Kaisi was always firm own beliefs. At the same time, the player with 500,000 US dollars is willing to redeem the 1.5 million US dollars with three stars, thus retaining the gauze and diamonds; the same corresponds to the previous sentence: "In the animal world, there are only interests, no feelings", Therefore, it can be seen that this game has never had rules of the game, but the "rules of the game" formulated by Zheng Kaisi are incomprehensible to many people, as the so-called not in the same "world". Zhang Jingkun's reshuffling plan seemed very shrewd, but in fact he was seen by Zheng Kaisi, but he didn't expose the conspiracy, but accompanied him to act until finally Zheng Kaisi exposed Zhang Jingkun's conspiracy , eliminated all the cards in the hands of everyone except Zhang Jingkun, and came up with a "pretence" of random card selection to show fair competition. In fact, winning or losing is not the essence. The point is to let Zhang Jingkun understand that his reshuffle plan is without any meaningful; Even if there are 30 stones first and 15 draws, in the end, only one stone and one cloth are left, and then one stone and one cloth are left, and in the end there is only one star left. Come on, when all cards are played, the total number of stars remains the same. At this time, Zhang Jingkun had eight stars in his hand, but there was one card left. If he didn't play it, he would definitely enter the small black room, so he chose one of the players as his prey, so that he could use Zheng Kaisi "perfectly". But he never thought that his reshuffling plan did not escape the "rules of the game" set by Zheng Kaisi at all, so he could only obtain a superficial victory. 4. Exploring the Mysteries of Human Nature from the "Animal Perspective" The film's interpretation of "animals" and human nature can be said to elevate the story to more than one level, and thus to analyze the weaknesses of human nature almost perfectly. For the protagonist Zheng Kaisi, the Joker's inner world can be said to be completely "controlled" by him. No matter how many times he has been deceived and how many hardships he has gone through, he still insists that he is not afraid of the dark, perhaps only in difficult situations. Only then can he bring out the "bestial" side of his heart, and when he fantasized about himself as a clown, the struggle and pain he endured in his heart seemed to have reached the extreme. He wanted to survive, but he couldn't change himself and wanted to help His mother and girlfriend earn money, but they can't give up the belief of being a human being. This kind of ambivalence has always affected Zheng Kaisi, so he has always been a clown in the eyes of others. Perhaps except for Zheng Kaisi, everyone else is desperate for survival and financial interests. Because his hair Xiao Li Jun is engaged in team building in Macau, Zheng Kaisi can only be forced to bear various debts; When they were forced to board the ship, perhaps everything changed inadvertently. Although the two of them were young, whenever there was a relationship of interest, Li Jun first thought of how to survive, even if he was very He cares about the friendship with Zheng Kaisi, but in the end he still cannot escape the temptation of money; therefore, the suspicion between the two has been escalating, and when Zheng Kaisi was imprisoned in the small dark room, it was the test of Li Jun However, it is a pity that he still did not insist on himself at the last moment, but adhered to the principle of "people live for wealth and birds die for food and death" together with Meng Guoxiang. . Meng Guoxiang's alliance with Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun inadvertently seems to be accidental, but there is a necessity behind the accident; Maybe Zheng Kaisi had discovered his actions long ago, but he has been acting with him all the time, and Meng Guoxiang's various actions reflect the people who follow the crowd in real life. To survive, he firmly believes in the principle that "people do not kill the world for themselves", so he has never exposed his true "identity" and fabricated all kinds of lies for the benefit; perhaps Meng Guoxiang always wanted to be a "good man", but he never thought about it, Escape from the self that seems safe can actually lead to catastrophe. Zhang Jingkun's aura can be said to be innate, so he has always believed that his law of survival is right, and used this to brainwash Zheng Kaisi many times; To being cracked by Zheng Kaisi for his shocking lie, it is enough to prove that what he "plays" is only his "role"; therefore, Zheng Kaisi refutes him through the proposition of "Scotland black goat", which on the surface is only The fable of philosophical speculation is actually a perfect interpretation of the proposition of "seeing the essence through phenomena", which has become the most important point in the rules of the game formulated by Zheng Kaisi. From this, I can't help but think of the "rules" mentioned in the previous game: if you want to get out alive, you must not only keep the three stars, but also all the cards in your hand. Odd numbers, internal battles cannot be consumed, so he has to choose another opponent, which also proves that the random playing rules he has formulated are just playing his clown nature, reducing the risk and increasing the opponent's right to speak. In the end, Zhang Jingkun could only be forced to play the clear card, but Zheng Kaisi could only temporarily win a short-term victory. Since the cards in his hand were not finished, he could only be forced to be locked in the small black room. When Li Jun was faced with the problem of whether to save Zheng Kaisi, when Meng Guoxiang decided to choose money, should he choose to be an animal or a human? Which is more important, interest or friendship? It seems to confirm the proposition that the film has been exploring. 5. How to keep the "Tao" in the heart? The mystery about Zheng Kaisi's life experience explained in the human nature proposition before may be enough to prove that he has long been "destined" to stick to the Tao in his heart; Due to his special experience, he often imagined the image of the clown in his mind, so his father instilled the idea of "Scottish black goat" in him since he was a child, so that he learned to survive in the jungle without being manipulated by others. In the real world, Zheng Kaisi's kindness can only be used indefinitely. He often sympathizes with the weak, but is always betrayed by his so-called friends. When he is betrayed by his trust again and again, many people even laugh at his "stupidity". "But thankfully, he always wanted to prove he wasn't wrong. These laws of the jungle seem to make Zheng Kaisi understand that in the world of the weak, only the fittest can survive. Therefore, in order to become the strong, Zheng Kaisi formulated his own rules of the game and chose to compete with his own kind. Seeking a win-win situation; and when he encountered an opportunity, he did not choose to back down, but seized the opportunity to move forward bravely. When the hoarder appeared, Zheng Kaisi had to insist on one game instead of three games through the opponent, so that It was concluded that the card in the opponent's hand was cloth, so it turned out that Zheng Kaisi had already found his place in the law of the jungle, but he just wanted to stick to what he wanted to stick to. Zheng Kaisi's image of the clown seems to have always represented a disorderly person, and his attitude of "doing whatever you want" makes him unique in the jungle. Although he knew that the strong would win, he always believed that the weak could be invincible; so when he achieved self-redemption, he chose to use three stars that could help him pay off his debts to save a plain old man People, just because there is a seriously ill son waiting for him to come home; perhaps his behavior is extremely stupid in the eyes of those who believe in the law of the jungle, but for Zheng Kaisi, everything is different. It's normal, but he wants to use the kindness in his heart to break the rules of the jungle, refuse to be domesticated by the so-called secular world, and always implement the bottom line in his heart, because he always firmly believes that he will not be changed by the world. In a sense, It's the best way to change the world. I still remember one of the rules of the game made by the referee when the player got on the boat: if two players play the same card, they can get off the boat, but most people do not trust others, so they can only be trapped on the boat; only Zheng Kaisi I believe in the good side of human nature, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Jingkun used his kindness to deceive him. From this, I can't help but think of the real society. In fact, many times the society is not as complicated as we imagined, but people lack mutual trust. society becomes complex; As the proposition of the theory of relativity shows, a simple society naturally becomes simple, and vice versa. In the end, Zheng Kaisi chose to leave a card in his hand, so he could only be forced to enter the small black room. Although in the eyes of many people, this was a very "stupid" decision, Zheng Kaisi never regretted himself. Making such a choice, even in the face of the so-called betrayal of him by his friends, he still has no hesitation to keep the Tao in his heart and complete the rules of survival he has always formulated. Perhaps in the gambling game, he never believed in the saying that people die for wealth and "survival of the fittest", and it is precisely because of this that he has always firmly believed that the concept of "keep a card to himself" is correct!
