Confused movie, moved confused audience

"Old Cannon" is a complete mess.
The value of the story seems to be very confusing, but the root cause of the problem is that the type is not accurate.
The movie is bad in the second half, especially the end.
The stubbornness on the ice made Liu Ye a hero, at least a late-twilight hero.
This treatment is probably just to give the audience an emotional horse-killing chicken. Many men and women are crying, which shows that the horse-killing chicken method is good.
But Liu Ye is not a hero, so playing like this is just a joke.

What is a hero? There are examples all over the place, and the most recent one is Spielberg's new "Bridge of Spies".
Insurance lawyer Donovan is a standard hero, and the film is also a standard American theme.
Heroes open doors for three things: altruism, self-sacrifice, and faith.
Donovan is a benchmark, all right.
And the sixth master, the only task is to make peace with his son, and finally he has to ask a lot of old buddies.
Indeed, in the conflict with the urban management, he saved the lampshade and even took out his own money, but the loyalty of the buddy and the altruism are two different things.
To be altruistic is to benefit someone you don't know, or even your enemy in a sense.
Does Sixth Master have self-sacrifice? Don't think about it, there is no altruism, there is no sacrifice.

Lawyer Donovan's belief is that as long as I take a case, I will treat my defense equally, no matter how big the bad guy is.
What is the belief that Liu Ye adheres to? Beijing people's stubborn rules? Then why did you tell the teacher behind your back?
One code to one code rules of conduct? That little girl stole your son and 100,000 yuan back, and you took the money in a low voice?
If you pretend to be a big man with Yang Huo'er again, isn't it nice that someone pays the hospital bill for you?
Looking at lawyer Donovan again, the presiding judge looked at him with eyes full of "Are you stupid, right?" The
so-called sticking to your beliefs means that you have to stick to it when everyone else thinks you are stupid.

But Liu Ye is absolutely right to do this.
He wasn't a hero in the first place, he was just a little guy, an old rogue.
The first half of "Old Pao'er" makes sense, just because Liu Ye wrote it based on little people.
You're going to let lawyer Donovan talk dirty and pick women's clothes, and that's ruined.
Liu Ye's words "Women..." on the hospital bed were really good.
Everyone treats him as a little guy who is full of problems but has a cute foundation, and it's a laugh.
But in the end, the director spent half an hour waiting to hold Liu Ye as a tragic old hero, so women in the new era must be anxious with you.

Small people can be heroes too, of course, but you get those three things out of the way first.
There's nothing wrong with old hooligans, in all the Kitano Takeshi movies, hooligans are the cutest people.
There are hooligans in a hooligan. Beijing really has no shortage of such stories. Guan Hu, Feng Xiaogang and the others must be familiar with them.
Why write an old rogue, write and write, and become a hero? I also can not understand.
Anyway, the "rules" that Sixth Master never forgets are really scarce in China, and they are scarce when you watch movie screenwriters write stories.

In the past few days, too many friends who were good at watching movies were very moved in front of this confused movie.
I think it's too harmful to kill a chicken, and "Old Pao'er" should be a bad example for a movie script.
I changed it from three stars to one star.
