In any region, there are some specific groups, they have their own distinct characteristics, their own survival rules and rules, and they all pay attention to "face".
You're making a fool of yourself, no, you've underestimated others' "face", I have to "find it" for my buddies.
Looking for "fa'erxiao" to borrow money, you can't open your mouth. Look at this "mian'er" and you look at it. If you give less, you will "thin face"
and spend the woman's money. Take it to others.
Lighting a cigarette for the old man in Hutong is "mian'er", which is called Mian'er.

Director Feng's personal image and roles are relatively close, and he is also an authentic Beijinger. He is a Beijing film, and his lines are very life-like. He deliberately controls the speed of speech and intonation, tries to be as calm as possible, grasps the appropriate expression of expression, and plays it back to make up for it. A lot of his performance weaknesses have been eliminated, and the basic success of his performance has been achieved only by modeling, speaking, and appearance. Liu Ye's entire play is to respond to all changes with the same constant, but it makes people feel very mysterious, can't figure it out, and there is always a back-up move. . . . The spirit of his body makes his image very full.

How can a person who has been left behind by the times stick to his beliefs and maintain his dignity? The environment of the times has changed, Liu Ye can only rely on himself to defend his face and pay attention to righteousness, although it is out of time. Is this the director and star's memory of the old Beijing that passed away? The reality is so ruthless. Seeing jumping off a building for fun reflects indifferent interpersonal relationships. Students who question begging reflect the lack of trust in interpersonal relationships. Borrowing money everywhere reflects the ruthlessness.

The film also reflects the divisions and inequalities of society. The life of ordinary people is not easy. In addition to coping with life, people have to survive between power and high prices. The biggest implication of this film is that the beasts in officialdom are many times more hooligans than the gangsters in the alleys. The gangsters must at least pay attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes. Those people have no bottom line and conscience for self-interest.

Why did Liu Ye write a letter to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to report, because in Liu Ye's mind, this is a robbery and the country has broken the basic principles. In his eyes, this is a bad person. Therefore, he has to go to the meeting alone, for the sake of his son, and for the public to expose corruption. He would rather take his own life to have a break. He is a Don Quixote type of character. There is a kind of tragic and solemn wind that is easy to water and cold, and the strong man goes away and never returns.

The film vividly reflects the changes in Beijing's old and new eras, the story perspective is also unique and novel, the actors' performances are very lifelike, and Xu Qing's heroine is also a highlight. Once the screenwriter is written, the director takes control, the actors perform well, and the audience buys it, it is considered a successful movie. The disadvantage is that it is anticlimactic.

The role of Lao Paoer will be repeatedly mentioned by future generations as a classic character with a deep imprint of the times.
