In the past, I always thought that this film was a pure inspirational film of punishing evil and promoting good. I thought that Bao Longxing’s success in overturning the case was due to the three-inch tongue he cultivated in a brothel, but this time I Looking at it again, I discovered a blind spot that I had never noticed before.
The main theme of this film is actually what Bao Longxing's father said to him before his death: Corrupt officials are treacherous, and honest officials are more treacherous than corrupt officials.
That's right, from ancient times to the present, all the wicked people can't be beaten down with a straight attack. The darker the politics and the more corrupt the officialdom is, the more ineffective the attitude of a gentleman is. If you want to break down the traitors, you can only be more treacherous and cunning than them.
Take what I read recently, Yan Song, a big traitor in the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Jie did not hesitate to fabricate a false accusation of treason for Yan Shifan in order to bring down Yan Song and his son. Yan Shifan was beheaded for treason, how unjustly, but what can be done, using other fair and bright means (such as accusing them of framing Zhongliang or something) not only can't move them, but will save their father and son.
Bao Longxing is also here. Although on the surface he relied on bickering with others, the evidence that played the most important and crucial role was obtained by his various tricks, abductions, coercion, and enticing. He threatened the emperor to force the emperor to accept the royal letter. The bill he got from Langzhong's house to prove that the Langzhong did not enter so much arsenic was stolen. Laifu and others temporarily changed their words that Bao Longxing used tricks to deceive them and they would be executed if they lied. , To force them to tell the truth, as for the last bloody confession, it is a complete fishing law enforcement, after a closer look, it is all a means of playing yin. Fang Tangjing was already yin enough, but Bao Longxing was more yin than him. He played tricks with him, and finally forced Chang Wei to tell the truth. There is no way to rectify this group of wicked people.
It is true that there has never been a lack of honest and honest officials in history, but not everyone has done it, Hai Rui is not afraid of death. Of course hard work is necessary, but it is not that hard work can be rewarded. The most important thing is to understand what is true. The art of officialdom. The power and tricks in these officialdoms are all condensed into the nonsense Xingye-style humor of laughter and scolding. Those who can understand will naturally understand, and those who do not understand will watch it as a youth inspirational film.
By the way, another discovery that is different from the past is that although this is a low-cost comedy film, the acting skills of the actors at that time were really super conscientious. When I watched it before, I paid more attention to plot jokes and lines. This time I carefully watched everyone's acting skills, and I felt that everyone could be the best actor and actress.
What impressed me the most was when Qi Qin was first raised to the court to complain about his grievances. That red-eyed expression with tears in his eyes and his facial muscles twitching was really touching. In addition, at the end, Chang Wei found out that his son had been brought over to shed blood and confessed his relatives, and he was being wrapped up in Long Xingyin. At that time, those eyes went from shock to anger to redness and tears in the eyes. It is really unexpected that in such a short time of less than ten seconds, the shock of a masked villain being framed is so devoted. Of course, there are also those supporting actors who still did enough when they were in the background, with very rich expressions and movements, I have to sigh that the actors are really all actors.
To be honest, when I watched this movie before, I never paid much attention to the acting skills. It’s really because there are so many embarrassing acting skills that I have seen recently, people will naturally observe the actors no matter what they watch. The acting skills, this really can't be said to be a good trend, sigh
