Less stimulation, more thinking

To be honest, this one always feels a little underwhelming when compared to it. Maybe it's because there is a foreshadowing, the expectations are too high, or because the director and screenwriter have changed. In short, it seems that we went to the same hotel and ordered a dish we ordered before. After eating it, we felt that the taste had changed, and I couldn't say what it looked like. In short, we lost some expectations.
Haibian Wang Yi gave me a cool feeling. I like the strength of the little loli incarnating as a super heroine, and I also like the male protagonist's energy and justice, but he is still not afraid of the courage to move forward.
If the movie makes us think about something, I think one or two are thinking about a question, is it right or wrong to use violence to control violence? And what are the real knights and justice messengers like, maybe on this issue, the second's sense of dogma and preaching is heavier. The words of courage at the end and the doctor of physics without a mask seem to be telling us that the real chivalrous person lies in the inner courage, which seems to respond to our ancient Chinese thinking about knighthood. In fact, this courage is exactly what we lack in real life. We are accustomed to numbness, the mentality of not looking for trouble, and escaping risks. Just ask how many people can rush forward without fear of their own life and death in the face of violence, especially when this kind of violence does not happen to themselves.
Kipian Wang is a 5-star movie, not because of how well-made the movie is, nor because of how ups and downs and beautiful the plot is, but because of how precious such a spirit is. It seems that we are always contradicting how to deal with violence, just like how to deal with the animal nature in our human heart. In fact, often only if you really dare to face your heart, can you truly progress and sublimate.
Speaking of this, I think of the transformation of the submissive and the mob, just like the patriots smashed Japanese vehicles and Japanese companies. Maybe those who carry out atrocities are usually ordinary people, but when they have the opportunity to let them vent When they express their inner bestiality, they often become more violent and controllable.
There is a lack of such movies in China, and the release of violent movies is prohibited because of fear of violence, and many people lose the opportunity to think about themselves through movies. Control can only bring about resistance and outbursts, and a person who dares not face his own heart must be an incomplete person.
It's a bit messy to say, but for a spirit, this movie deserves 5 stars
