The characters are full of images. If you don't consider a few flaws, almost every character has been portrayed very successfully. Feng Xiaogang's portrayal of the sixth master, whether it is a true character or a good character, is a real achievement. Deserved. Xu Qing's emotional intelligence is exposed on the reality show, but her acting skills are also unequivocal. Zhang Hanyu's tough guy image and Wu Yifan's cool, handsome and rich second generation are all good, and Li Yifeng's accent is not a big problem, except for his accent. Seriously, the story is full of tension, the contrast of the times is strong, filled with tragic and tragic, so touching.
The film does not portray Liu Ye as a perfect person. This is the image of an ordinary old gunner. He is not satisfied with his old age but is old. He is mentally strong, physically weak, strong in temperament, and weak in reality. A huge gap that makes people feel sad. Ordinary people don't feel this way, because they spend their whole life in a normal way. The more they are heroic when they are young, and then they are ruthlessly crushed by the wheels of the times. The separation and reconciliation between the father and the son are the main line of the whole film. The father and son have a drinking conversation in the tavern. The sixth master sheds tears several times. The indescribable sadness and remorse, the years can only be looked back but cannot be turned back. Feng Xiaogang's sense of powerlessness towards his family and his past is fully expressed through his acting skills.
On the eve of the duel in the ice lake, he solemnly shaved his head, took out his jacket and saber, and went into battle in full gear, but he was riding a bicycle and set off in the cold winter. He was exhausted on the lake, fell down, and struggled to get up again. His unyielding spirit showed off the screen.
This character, the more calm he is when he appears, the more setbacks he suffers later, but he regains his dignity with his own life, knowing that he can't do it, and this is the moving part of the film.
However, my love for this show doesn't stop there.
From an emotional point of view, I will be moved by the atmosphere and characters at the time. I also admit that this is a work with heart. Every actor is very attentive, and the director's skill goes without saying.
But rationally, I don't appreciate it.
The tragedy of Liu Ye is, of course, a tragedy of the times, but it is more of an individual tragedy. Just seeing the so-called "heroic" side of this character and praising it is undoubtedly biased.
As an old gunner, Liu Ye is undoubtedly loyal. Even if he has not enough money, he must ensure that his brothers get out of trouble. Chatterbox admires Sixth Brother, because he can fight when he is young, and he thinks that this is the point of a man. All the brothers serve the sixth brother. Because they have been benefited by the sixth brother, the sixth brother is in trouble, and all directions echo it. In modern society, such kindness and gathering force are rare, echoing the "chivalry" in the minds of some people, so they are very popular. .
But is such chivalry really worthy of praise? Due to the resentment against the imperial court, the dream of the rivers and lakes has always been pursued, killing people to make money, and doing justice for the sky. Such a Liangshan hero spirit is highly touted. However, Liangshan heroes are to protect the people, or, like the officials, also rely on bullying the people to ensure own survival? In the film, stealing the money and returning the documents is considered "righteous", but wouldn't it be better if you didn't even steal the money? The rules advocated by the sixth master seem to preside over justice. Behind this justice, due to various obscure areas, it "won the hearts of the people", just like the compensation of the law. But is this really right?
If you can call the police, don't call the police, you must follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are no longer the rivers and lakes they used to be, and the people are old, and they are no longer the high-spirited young people they used to be. Does the tragedy of the sixth master have nothing to do with him? Being able to take care of the brothers, but not the family, or in other words, giving up the family to take care of the brothers, this kind of righteousness is excellent for the brothers, but what about the family? Xiaobo's rebellion was actually caused by the sixth master. Liu Ye is a person who understands small justice but does not understand love, understands the rules of the world but does not understand great justice (not to mention that reporting is great justice). What Liu Ye cares about is that he is respected and respected by the outside world, so he sees his face better than anything else. Wife, son and lover, this is the inner child, so you don't have to worry about it, but the brother is an external face and won a praise. For the sixth master, going to prison is nothing - of course, when you get old, you will inevitably regret it.
Since the cause of karma is created, there must be consequences of karma.
Can you rationally analyze the cause and effect when you are so moved? Analyze the plot flaws?
Is Liu Ye really admirable?
Many people also hope to have a loyal friend like Liu Ye. The question is, what if Liu Ye came to borrow money? To give or not to give?
Many people also hope to have a lover like Liu Ye. The problem is that such a lover cannot protect themselves. Although it can satisfy their imagination of heroes, they also need to bear all kinds of troubles.
Also, is Xiaofei wrong? Or is it because he is an arrogant rich second generation, and belongs to the rich second generation whose father embezzled and obtained ill-gotten wealth, thus becoming a representative of hatred?
In the character design, Xiaofei was given the characteristics of liking martial arts novels and advocating martial arts spirit, so he finally sympathized with Liu Ye, but persuaded his family to use the rules of the rivers and lakes to solve such a big matter, and Gong Shutu's statement was a statement, But it's far-fetched to go away after hurting someone, and to decide the fate of Xiaofei's family by fighting an ice lake duel.
When you watch a movie, you will be moved. Is it acceptable to come into contact with such a person in reality?
When you are a teenager, people will be dominated by hormones and blood. Young and Dangerous has accompanied many people in their youth, and many people have chosen different life paths. If life could be repeated, would their choices be the same?
Perhaps only when people grow to a certain extent, will they be able to distinguish between movies and reality, and will not be blindly inspired by various so-called heroic emotions. Some movies can bring inspiration to real life, such as "Braveheart" and "Forrest Gump", but the "Young and Dangerous" series is obviously not. Neither is Old Cannon. Watching "The Great Era", what you need to understand is the cycle of heaven, and evil will be rewarded, not the overbearing father and son of Ding Crab, and even learn from Ding Xiao Crab to form a triad club, although the love between Ding Xiao Crab and Fang Ting was once touching.
People eventually have to pay for their own mistakes. After all, people have to pay the price for their blindness.
When you are old, it is enough to live in a small alley, ambitious, and buried, the outside world is exciting enough, but some people are destined to be outdated. If they can’t keep up with the times, they don’t need to join in the fun. The problems of the new generation are solved by themselves. The old school rules do not apply to the new world. The dream of the rivers and lakes has become a thing of the past. Hegemony and injustice still exist. Craftsmanship can fix the Enzo Ferrari, but it pushes things further).
The death of the sixth master was the price he paid for his past. If it was said that death had elevated this person, it would undoubtedly be a misinterpretation. The value of life is more reflected in the value brought to others (including one's own family) and the society in the living era, and is not determined by death. If death can elevate everything and turn bad people into good people (here it refers in general, not Liu Ye), then what is the meaning of life itself?
The real heroic spirit of this era, I think, is that of Tu Youyou.
