Thank you for the generous friends' reward, my recommendation, my cognition can be affirmed by you, has always been the driving force of my persistence, thank you very much!
Fengxue has always liked brain-burning movies, whether they are the six most amazing movies, or movies such as "Beautiful Life" and "Charlotte annoyance", which can make our brains run at a high speed, especially when we look at the same movie from a different point of view. but when you can see completely different results, the pleasure of almost solving a riddle is even more unstoppable.
Of all the domestic films, there is no doubt that the most complex domestic film is "Let bullets fly". Compared with the obscurity of other films, "Let the bullets fly" belongs to the main plot is extremely simple, the details are all wonderful movies.
It is smarter than other films in that it not only makes people feel the pure entertainment nature of the film, but also feels the profound content hidden by the director in the details. It is under the cloak of commercial movies to explore the times and the complexity and variety of human nature as much as possible. It's just about why the boobs are big in the nude scene in the movie. Snow once wrote a special tweet about what it means.
It can be said that this film is the most complex, the most variable, the most interesting domestic film, every time you see it again will be more than once!
"Let the bullets fly", written and directed by Jiang Wen, was released in December 2010. it grossed 636 million yuan at the box office, ranking third in the domestic box office (including imported films). In 2011, this film is still a highly topical blockbuster. In terms of word-of-mouth, the film is surprisingly good. A total of 1.726 million people scored 9.0 on Douban, ranking 41st on Douban top 250. it is the sixth best domestic film in film history.
In terms of the personal perception of snow, this film follows the visual effects of commercial films, giving people the motivation to watch. But there is a sense of madness as a whole, and the story is extremely simple, so for younger audiences, if they can't understand the deeper meaning of the film, then the film is really not very clear.
But for the audience who likes to think and see through phenomena, this film can be said to be an all-encompassing encyclopedia. Every scene and every dialogue can be interpreted with a lot of convincing inner meanings.
The following serious spoilers, it is recommended that friends who have not seen it, first go to the movies, and then come to see the snow recommendation! (remember to turn off the barrage)
1. Class contradiction
What story does "Let bullets fly" tell?
In terms of the appearance of the film, it is the contradiction between pockmarked Zhang and Huang Si-Lang, so all kinds of stories break out. After passing through the surface phenomenon, we find that what this film is about has nothing to do with pockmarked Zhang or Huang Si-Lang, but the relationship between the two classes and the contradiction between the peasant class and the bourgeoisie. Pockmarked Zhang and Huang Silang are only the guides of these two classes.
Pockmarked Zhang used to be the captain of General Cai E's handgun team. he is an intellectual and a progressive youth. It seems that the core of the film revolves around pockmarked Zhang, a progressive youth, but when we see the end, we find that pockmarked Zhang is just an introduction. Everything pockmarked Zhang does is just an introduction, and the real protagonist is the group of oppressed people who are used to kneeling, that is, the peasant class.
How can we tell the difference between the two classes in this film?
Very simply, the director presents it in a simple and intuitive way, that is, we will find that there are only two types of people in the film, one is well-dressed people, and the other is topless people.
Among them, the neatly dressed bourgeoisie and landlord class are exploiters. Together with previous county magistrates, they collected the tax revenue of Goose City in 2010, which can be said to have squeezed every drop of sweat and blood of the people of Goose City clean. They are qualified to welcome the county magistrate into office, to watch the interrogation in the tea-hall, and to play cards for fun under Zhang Mazi's encouragement. They are always in the upper class of society and oppress the poor all the time.
On the other hand, the topless are the oppressed peasant class and the proletariat who have not yet received revolutionary education. they have been drained of their savings by successive county magistrates, drained by the remnants of feudalism, and the oppressed have forgotten to resist. They have no money, no clothes, no backbone, no status, let alone no future.
In the chaotic era of Northern warlords in the film, warlords, gentry, landlords, goons and robbers could all live extremely well, and only the diligent common people had nothing and even lost their souls in this troubled times. is the real proletariat.
Whether it is the four families of Zhang Ma Zi Keng or Huang Si Lang, they are actually just trying to awaken the peasant class who are used to being enslaved as pioneers. He went to Goose City to do three things: "fair, fair, or his M fair", to sum up one thing-- to awaken the peasant class.
In the long-term feudal oppression, the peasant class even got used to being oppressed in helplessness, and even learned to "suffer from inequality without scarcity", and became more and more numb in submission and obedience. So at the end of the film, pockmarked Zhang awakens the hatred of this group of farmers, but does not awaken the backbone of the whole peasant class.
Pockmarked Zhang succeeded, but pockmarked Zhang was not completely successful!
2. Revolution of 1911
Pockmarked Zhang touched it with anger, seduced it to benefit, and finally led the people of Goose City to break through Huang Silang's residence, and finally put an end to the greatest oppressor of Goose City. From the point of view of the story, pockmarked Zhang succeeded, but from the deep result, pockmarked Zhang still lost.
Pockmarked Zhang looked forward to the rise of the people to overthrow the feudal system, an era in which everyone had faith, but it was obvious that this group overthrew Huang Silang because they were oppressed and rebelled, or, more accurately, because the wall fell and everyone pushed. In almost every commentary or film review, people can see that pockmarked Zhang lost.
But did pockmarked Zhang really lose again? Not exactly!
In fact, the story of the overthrow of Huang Silang in Goose City is not only the story of Goose City, or even the story of China, but the story of an era, a repeat of the Revolution of 1911 in the era of infighting among the Northern warlords. Zhang Muzhi, in fact, is the bellwether of the revolution, and the remaining Wu Zhichong and other wall grass is another appearance of Yuan Shikai and other opportunistic warlords. Aren't those oppressed peasants who took part in the revolution at that time?
In the novel the Story of the Shepherd, it is said that "the god in the broken temple is easy, but the god is difficult in the heart."
But at least the Revolution of 1911 destroyed the gods in the temple, and pockmarked Zhang gave the people of Echeng the soil of gods in their hearts. Especially after they have tasted the heroism of overthrowing Huang Silang, they will no longer be willing to be oppressed, maybe there will not be too many rebels, and perhaps most of today's people are speculators. But since we have tried to succeed and sowed the seeds of resistance, it is bound to break out of the ground at some point in the future.
With a slight body, ignite a thorough anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution! So pockmarked Zhang won, but he also lost, but not completely.
It can be said that what is buried under the story in this film is a great feeling of family and country. Meng's annoyed father said in "my Leader my Regiment,"there is no room for a desk in such a big China." in "Let bullets fly", there is no room for Zhang Muzhi, but people like Zhang Muzhi are different from Meng, who only complains about his father. Zhang is constantly practicing it.
But the reason why this film is so classic, in addition to this general direction, in fact, there are a lot of details, but also fans like to talk about, and even say that "Let bullets fly" is the root cause of China's most complex film.
3. Great metaphors
Compared with the film itself, the most interesting and attractive thing about this film is to understand the deep meaning set by the director in the film, whether right or wrong, this kind of riddle solving itself is very interesting.
For example, when the county magistrate took office but was robbed by pockmarked Zhang, they took the horse-drawn train, which is the strongest satire of the times. Although they had high technology, they rudely used it as a common tool. Wei Yuan put forward the idea of "learning from Yi to control Yi" in the Westernization Movement. Why did the government of the late Qing Dynasty continue to beg for mercy? In addition to the political roots, the "horse-drawn train" is also one of the main reasons for the invasion by the great powers.
The fundamental reason for the extremely ugly portrait of pockmarked Zhang is: "people do not want to believe that a bandit's name is Muzhi, and people are more willing to believe that he is pockmarked." people do not want to believe that a bandit will have a handsome face, and he must be ugly. Pockmarked face.
In addition, through the arrest warrants all over the city, and the fact that fake Ma bandits killed Master Tang's wife and son, as well as the fact that he had killed five county magistrates, even one of them was a good county magistrate, and the whole city was excited when they said they had to pay the fee. It shows that the biggest contradiction in Goose City at that time was not that the people were exploited, but that they would be killed by fake bandits accidentally. Compared with being exploited, paying taxes will be bearable by 2010.
In fact, the greatest resilience of people is to compare in the midst of suffering, as long as others suffer more than themselves, they can bear it. As long as bandits are more terrible than exploitation, then people can accept exploitation.
There is no doubt that Master Tang's mentally handicapped son corresponds to the Republic of China, which has been revolutionized but malformed.
In addition, there are many metaphors or hidden messages, including Master Tang's defection, the identity of Sister Hua, why the second died, when the third defected, why fake Huang Silang was able to escape, and the question mark and exclamation mark made by pockmarked Zhang and his gang on the iron gate of Huang Silang. There are also many metaphors or hidden messages, such as Huang Silang's identity as a participant in the 1911 Revolution and Zhang's silver guns.
It can be said that it is necessary to understand "Let bullets fly", or at least the above problems. These are also found in Douban comments. Interested friends can take a look at them, but many of them are inconsistent and need to think for themselves.
Here, what the falling snow wants to say is that the falling snow saw many people say that Master Tang on the last train was disguised by Huang Silang, and the falling snow did not recognize it at all, and even said that such an interpretation was very superficial.
The last train is obviously a false fantasy, Zhang Muzhi's expectations for the future of China, but also Zhang Muzhi's good wishes for Master Tang, hoping that people in this city who understand how to survive can live. At this time, the voiceover is: "Shanghai is Pudong, Pudong is Shanghai." On the one hand, we are talking about the Republic of China and New China, and on the other hand, we are actually talking about the integration of Shanghai of the Republic of China and Pudong of New China, just as the honor or disgrace of history is the history of our Chinese nation.
And even if we are as congenitally deficient as a horse-drawn train, we are always moving towards a better place, and there are always countless Zhang Muzhi coming forward one after another.
All in all, this tweet is only a brief description of the film, which is the kind of film that the more you watch and think about, the more interesting the movie will be. this type of film is rare in the whole world. Only I, the Chinese nation, can understand this film and the deep meaning behind this film.
Comprehensive praise, this film is highly recommended! Any other movies that impress and impress you can be shared in the comments section!
