Eliminating Violence: Is Wen Juan played in spring and summer the failure of the whole film? Saying such things proves that you don't understand at all.

"Eliminating Violence" took over 100 million at the box office 1 day for 38 minutes. I'm not surprised.

"Small Town" has two actors, Daniel Wu and Wang Qianyuan, and it is also a rare crime action film set in the 1990s in China. It is foreseeable to get such a good start.

Personally, Daniel Wu has quite successfully created the image of Zhang Ying, the leader of the "Eagle Gang".

Cold-blooded, stubborn, extreme, fierce and violent, it makes people feel cold.

In the film, besides a group of well-trained wings, there are two characters closely related to Zhang Ying.

One is Zhang Ying's mother, and the other is Zhang Ying's wife Wen Juan.

Among them, the role of Wen Juan was controversial after the film was broadcast.

It took only one and a half hours to see many friends report the whole movie, and there were too many scenes in Wen Juan.

In particular, at the beginning, Zhang Ying and Wen Juan met in the street and then talked on the roof. This plot is superfluous and can be completely skipped.

More radical audiences think that the role of Wen Juan played in Spring and Summer is simply the failure of the whole movie, and the emotional line is added too deliberately, which slows down the plot rhythm.

Some people think that it is completely unnecessary to join the role of Zhang Ying's mother and highlight the arrangement of Zhang Ying's dutiful son, which is also suspected of whitewashing and does more harm than good.

A reasonable friend who can give the above views, I don't think you understand the film Eliminating Violence at all.

Zhang Ying, played by Daniel Wu, later named her future children "Mix" and "Xiong Xiong", which together were "Xiao Xiong".

Obviously Zhang Ying wants to be a thin man, or he thinks he is a thin man.

But the truth is, he is just a criminal who has committed many murders. At best, it can be called "owl", but it is far from the word "male".

Zhang Ying's perception of himself is obviously self-beautification.

But since you are lean, how can you lose the women around you?

When Wen Juan, who appeared in spring and summer, first appeared in front of the camera, I knew that Zhang Ying would definitely fall into the hands of this woman.

At the beginning of the film, the conversation between Zhang Ying and Wen Juan on the roof seems redundant, but in fact two souls with the same past are close to each other.

What impressed me the most was a sentence by Wen Juan.

Looking down from the lower level, you will see the filth of the city.

But looking down from the height of the roof, it seems that the pollution suddenly disappeared, leaving only spectacular scenery.

This sentence implies the real situation and self-awareness as the bottom group of the city, and at the same time there is a potential desire to climb high and look far.

Wen Juan's remarks are in line with some of Zhang Ying's values and his psychological state at that time.

It is believed that it was after this conversation that Zhang Ying had further thoughts about this woman who had only met once.

Coupled with Wen Juan's beauty, it is not surprising that Zhang Ying failed to pass this beautiful pass in the end.

From the beginning of the whole movie "Eliminating Violence", Zhang Ying often talked about "telling jokes".

His most cruel and harmful behavior is to let the victim tell a joke first, and if the joke is funny, let him live.

If it's not funny, don't hesitate to shoot it.

This seems to give the victims a chance to survive, but in fact the real decision is entirely in Zhang Ying's hands.

Whether a joke is funny depends entirely on him.

In many movies, villains will have hobbies similar to perverts, but this setting is mostly just to highlight the cruel, violent and anti-social side of villains.

However, Zhang Ying's love for "eliminating violence" has another purpose.

At the end of the movie, Zhang Ying returned to his hometown and went to see his mother with holiday gifts.

Zhang Ying is very filial to his mother.

In order to amuse my mother, I told a joke specially.

Mother and child interact harmoniously. Obviously, in the past, Zhang Ying used the same method to make her happy.

Until this moment, we realized another reason why Zhang Ying was so keen on "collecting" jokes.

Therefore, Zhang Ying's fierce image should be accompanied by the design of infatuated man and dutiful son.

Contradictory character and inconsistent image contrast make Zhang Ying's character even more creepy.

However, does Zhang Ying's mother really have no idea what her son Zhang Ying is doing outside?

The answer is obviously no.

When police officer Zhong Cheng finally found Zhang Mu in the bath, Zhang Mu thought he was a guest.

Until Zhong Cheng took out his hearing aid and said, "I've been looking for your son for years."

Zhang Mu suddenly felt something and immediately became red in the eye.

But then there was no further action, and Zhong Cheng received it as an ordinary customer.

There are some incomprehensible reactions here, which are the same as her motivation to hear her son fighting with the police in the bathroom, take off her hearing aid and pretend not to know anything, and continue watching TV.

This can be said to be connivance to Zhong Cheng, and it can also be said to be connivance to his son Zhang Ying.

Obviously, Zhang Mu's heart is also extremely contradictory.

She knew that her son would be punished by law one day, and hoped that Zhong Cheng's appearance would make him stop early and end all this.

But at the same time, the mother's instinct also gave her a glimmer of hope that her son could escape successfully.

Because of this, Zhang Mu just watched Zhong Cheng enter the bathing place and chose one from Zhang Ying, and neither stopped him nor immediately rushed in to give Zhang Ying a tip-off.

Close your eyes and let things go. No matter what the result is, she will bear it alone.

This is undoubtedly Zhang Mu's sorrow.

Many viewers may think that what really made Zhang Mu realize that something was wrong was Zhong Cheng's sentence "I have been looking for your son for many years".

In fact, however, that hearing aid is the key to exposing Zhang's mood swings.

As mentioned above, Zhang Ying came to visit her mother with a gift. Before telling a joke, there is another line that stands out.

Zhang Ying made it clear that she would bring her a hearing aid in a few days.

In fact, this hearing aid could have been given to my mother immediately.

Wen Juan prepared hearing AIDS and tonics for this mother-in-law who had never met before, but she never had the chance to go back to her hometown with Zhang Ying.

Unexpectedly, the police came to the door after the incident.

Zhang falcon can only watch through a building and escape from her residence in a hurry. Wen Juan didn't even have time to get the hearing aid in the room.

It was not until the end that the hearing aid was delivered to the old lady through Zhong Cheng's hand.

Zhang Mu is a clever man. Although she couldn't hear clearly, it was obvious that her son had guessed everything he had done and made friends.

So Zhang Mu may know that she has a pregnant daughter-in-law, and even hope that Zhang Ying will take her daughter-in-law when she comes home.

So, after Zhang Ying said that a friend would bring a hearing aid in a few days, Zhang Mu took it for granted that she would see her daughter-in-law in a few days.

However, it was not the daughter-in-law who wore the hearing aid, but the policeman Zhong Cheng, which made her suddenly realize that something might have happened to her daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law who may cover up her son has an accident, and her son is naturally next.

Zhong Cheng later that sentence confirmed her guess.

So Zhang Mu couldn't hold back immediately and shed tears.

Therefore, the hearing aid is the "protagonist" of this scene.

Therefore, whether directly or indirectly, Wen Juan's role in spring and summer is actually the key to enriching Zhang Ying's characters and running through Zhang Ying's emotional line.

Zhang Ying's infatuation, filial piety, initial behavior and final exposure are all related to this woman.

Maybe someone will ask questions again.

Bad guys are bad guys. Just how bad he is. Is it necessary to enrich the image of a vicious criminal?

Sorry, this is really not a necessary question.

But the reality is that the film doesn't have many artistic elements.

Zhang Jun is the realistic prototype of Zhang Ying in Eliminating Violence. He has committed more than ten crimes of robbery and murder.

Zhang Jun's psychology in dealing with people is very complicated.

He is cruel to innocent people, but at the same time he loves his son, respects his parents and respects his elders. He is usually gentle and polite.

Therefore, the reason why the film designed these seemingly "redundant" and "failed" plots for Zhang Ying is by no means groundless, but the most realistic place.

Many times life is far more magical than movies, and real characters are more complicated and unpredictable than flat characters on the screen.

Fortunately, no matter how unpredictable people are, they can't escape the punishment of law and justice.
