"An Jia" ends in a hurry, why are the "bad guys" not punished?

This is actually the result of starting high and ending low. The director and screenwriter treated the plot and ending in two different styles, so it looked very awkward to everyone. A closed plot, but an open ending must be set.

If you look at the open ending, there are no real bad guys in "An Jia", there are just a bunch of unpleasant people in real life.

However, the plot has to be set up to be closed, that is, everything is viewed from the perspective of the protagonist (Fang Sijin, Xu Wenchang, and the five sons of the An family), so the language of the shots we see is all single. of. Whatever the protagonists feel is right, the camera will aestheticize them. If the protagonists find it objectionable, the camera will present it in an intense and demeaning way.

This kind of plot conflict and character presentation is a simple binary. The audience actually follows the aesthetics of the director and screenwriter. Their teeth itch when they see the bad guys, and their noses and tears flow when they see the good guys.

As a result, you stirred up emotions but did not relieve them, which made everyone dissatisfied with the ending. To put it bluntly, they were dissatisfied with the handling methods of the director and screenwriter.

These so-called bad guys are selfish, greedy, egoistic, and have no Virgin feelings in the plot, but they are only from the perspective of the protagonists. These people are too "unaesthetic", but the protagonists This "aesthetic" that we adhere to is not a universal value that prevails in human society. If you are willing to think differently and look at it from the perspective of these so-called "bad guys", you will get a completely different answer.

For example, Xu Wenchang hated Xu Youdao all his life. In his childhood memory, this was the man who killed his mother and then took his mistress into his home, turning him into a "family orphan". demon.

But why did Xu Youdao say, "He doesn't understand me and doesn't forgive me"? It seems that Xu Wenchang's hatred for him is actually a misunderstanding, but from the perspective of the audience from the previous 52 episodes, this is just the scumbag's defense.

If you think about this matter in reality, Xu Wenchang's childhood memories are completely closed and self-framed. He only saw his mother who jumped from the building and his indifferent father. This is entirely a memoir constructed from a child's perspective.

And Xu Wenchang never looks at the relationship between his parents and the root of this tragedy from the perspective of "husband and wife". Perhaps from Xu Youdao's perspective, this story is another version. Compared with Xu Wenchang's child's vision, he saw a more complete version.

The same goes for Pan Guiyu's "evil". Fang Sijin's memory is all about Pan Guiyu's abuse and exploitation, as well as his uncontrolled harm to himself.

From Fang Sijin’s perspective, what we perceive is that Pan Guiyu hates her, and he hates her so much that he wants to take everything away from her and send her to eighteen levels of hell without letting go.

But when Pan Guiyu was arguing with Fang Jiadong, he confessed that only Fang Sijin was reliable in the family, and no one except her could give out a penny. And she is the backbone of the entire family. She and Fang Sijin are like the general and the prime minister. Fang Sijin fought hard on the battlefield and expanded the territory, while she organized the internal affairs at the rear and maintained the rule of the entire family.

If Fang Sijin had not been exploited, this family would have collapsed long ago. When Fangtian, Junfang, Jiadong and the other children were all useless, she was the only one to be the villain, like a petitioner. Sitting in front of the house eating melon seeds and letting everyone laugh, this is all for the sake of this family.

Pan Guiyu's life has been difficult and poor from beginning to end. If she really sucks blood for herself, the money given by Fang Sijin in the plot is enough for her to live a good life. Lived.

All the money she got from Fang Sijin was used to maintain this family of losers.

As for other villains, whether Zhai Yunxiao, Ning Xin, Lao Yan’s daughter-in-law, if we change the perspective and change the camera processing, maybe we can see more truth and helplessness, instead of what we see now. All the seeds are private goods, and after the halo of the protagonist envelopes everything, there is only a world of Anjia with the dualism of good and bad.
