Feng Xiaogang plays Liu Ye, a leader of the times who was once glorious. Due to the difficulty of adapting to the great changes in society, when he got older, he squatted in the depths of the alley, living a boring life of wandering, meddling, and complaining. Six months ago, Liu Ye had a conflict with Zhang Xiaobo, his son "Little Pao'er" played by Li Yifeng, causing Xiao Pao'er to run away from home in a fit of anger. In order to save his son and repay the guilt he felt for his son, Liu Ye returned to the arena.
Liu Ye is a person who refuses to accept the old age. He does not allow others to call him uncle. From the descriptions of characters such as Chatbox Mansan'er, we can see that the sixth master was also the No. 1 figure in the city of Beijing when he was young. He could fight dozens of rogues with four or five people, and the loyalty of going to the meeting on the ice lake alone was no less than when he was young. However, such a person is powerless in the face of his son Zhang Xiaobo.
There are a few episodes in the movie that left a deep impression on me. One was the scene where the sixth master and his son were drinking in the pub. During the dispute between the two, we learned that the sixth master was imprisoned in 1994 for committing a crime. It was the era of reform and opening up. The first group of rich people developed, and the gap between the rich and the poor initially appeared. Perhaps it started from that time, indicating that Liu Ye gradually stepped down from the stage of history, and it was also from that time. , People like Liu Ye were gradually abandoned by the times.
But the most difficult thing for people to notice is the passage of time and the transformation of the body. Whether it is a man or a woman, it is a common characteristic that they are unwilling to admit that they are getting old. It is reflected in Liu Ye's stubbornness who refuses to be hospitalized for surgery. Although he admits that he is nearly six years old, he refuses to accept being called uncle by others. Although he stubbornly says that he is still in good health and does not need surgery, he can only express his sadness to his son.
The sixth master's son Zhang Xiaobo seems to be out of tune with his father, awkwardly refusing to accept his help and reasoning, but he can't stop his father's deep affection and his father's rules of teaching from words and deeds since he was a child, and the rules of lowering the glass when toasting to the elders. , The morality of a friend to stand up for an accident, the small gesture of extending a finger to support the other party, belongs to the tacit understanding between father and son.
At the end of the film, Zhang Xiaobo opened a bar with Taishi chairs, tiger skins, benches, and Juyi Hall. This is a way of communication between father and son, a gratifying heritage.
