"He really disappeared on the ice"? I had to see my companions nod before I was convinced that this was the end
. In Beijing dialect, Lao Pao is a very bad definition for others. The worst gangsters are called old guns. But in this movie, it's about a gangster, a gangster who can't keep up with the times when he is middle-aged.
The gangster is also a kind of character in the rivers and lakes, just like the Lord of the Earth is also considered to be the Jade Emperor. So what this movie wants to say is: in the arena, thieves have their own way. To be more precise, it's the line at the beginning: pay attention to the fact that if there is
a fight now, the local ones can't handle the foreign ones, and the old rivers and lakes can't beat the raw melon eggs. It's not because the young people are "born", but because the old-fashioned people still pay attention, reason, and rules. And now the gangsters have lost their traditions, and the wind of chaos has swept everything.
Don't hit women, respect elders, don't bully honest people, speak with respect, don't slap people in the face, don't hide when something happens, help the poor with righteousness, you can enjoy yourself but don't hurt others, if you're wrong, accompany you first...that's it The gangsters actually abide by traditional morals. It's like the "old cannon" I know: no matter how fierce he is outside, in daily life he is a big brother who doesn't mess with women, doesn't beat his wife, takes care of children, and is extremely polite and polite when meeting him. It's really a "specialty".
It's just that Brother 6 has derailed from the times, and still wants to solve the dispute with the method of the old cannon era: one yard to one yard, this is their method back then. You can talk to the "upstairs" urban management officials one by one. After all, they are small cadres who eat public food, and there are many mobile phones of ordinary people watching. But playing with the big cadres "upstairs, upstairs, upstairs, upstairs", their eyes have grown to the top of their heads, and a wheel can crush you. He still insisted on not calling the police, insisting on collecting money, insisting on teaching the furry boy who slapped his face, and agreeing to fight. Under the sun, on the edge of the ice skating rink, watching him sit there, Feng Xiaogang's speech was neither rushed nor slow, and his tone was normal, as if he was calm after experiencing the big world. However, the companion spit out one word: sadness! It was a feeling of helplessness and helplessness.
But, what is the point? That is the reputation that cannot be lost as a man, the momentum that cannot be ruined by doing things, the responsibility that the father cannot shirk the blame, and it is also a man's value in the face of right and wrong. So he gave the real estate certificate to his lover, so he walked up to the ice surface of Wild Lake alone with a knife, so he gave everything for his son, so he sent a report letter.
Rules, morals, responsibilities, and reasoning are all about being particular about, or even traditional
movies themselves. There are many echoes in the plot, many details are used to portray the characters, and the framing is all characteristic of Beijing: breakfast, 8th brother birdcage, ice rink, Erguotou, and vocabulary with a very local style. If you want to count, those little people with only a few shots can start a long story: such as the bus driver, the street vendor, the car repairer... Too many different characters are hidden behind the old gun . Like the characters in the alley, it is used to reflect the influence of the old guns in that range. Those former friends, they appeared in very short shots, alluding to the complicated first half of Lao Pao's life.
At the end, that row of old cannons appeared at the gate of the detention center, handsome. They all lost their hair, wrinkled faces, stiff stomachs, and worn out clothes, but their aura was really overshadowed! A bunch of old men, mostly at the bottom, just came out with a powerful deterrent force, suddenly reappearing like a pony buddy in black clothes and sunglasses.
The old guns in the movie, the rivers and lakes of the past, they are now. Reminds me of that old cannonball guy I know.
