What do you think of Stephen Chow's Ji Gong?

On the weakness of human nature from Stephen Chow's Jigong

Everyone likes the movies before Star, and the favorite is "big talk" But I don't know why, I found that among all the film reviews about stars, there are few articles commenting on Jigong, and even if there are, they are almost just passing by. In Stephen Chow's Incomplete Manual, the film of Xing Xing 1993 is mentioned in only two words: fiasco!

Actually, I personally think Jigong is a very good thing. The peak of Xing Xing's performing arts career should begin with Ji Gong. If you don't mind, I'd like to share my experience with you scum.

In fact, the real protagonist of this movie can be said to be not a star who has fallen into the dragon's arhat, but three other models: the ninth prostitute, the ninth villain and the ninth beggar-all of which are very successful in the movie. I think these three models actually represent three weaknesses of human nature: meanness, cruelty and inferiority. The star plays the role of savior and benefactor in the film. From a non-bystander perspective, he showed us how human beings should overcome their own shortcomings, turn lewdness into self-esteem, cruelty into friendship, and inferiority into self-confidence. These are very valuable to us, especially to the people of China.

In one scene, Huang Qiusheng's ninth beggar pig intestines were dragged into a restaurant by Jigong, obviously holding a handful of gold in his hand, but he was used to inferiority and didn't even have the courage to order. Jigong told him to say, "Give me a bowl of shark fin to gargle!" " "He didn't even dare to say shark's fin, only dare to say" fish food ". I think the pig's large intestine has completely lost people's confidence in the long-term life of beggars. Because everyone is bad to him, he has formed such a deep-rooted consciousness that I am born worse than others, and I must only eat leftovers. He would rather taste the bones spit out from other people's mouths than go to a restaurant to order with a lot of ready-made gold. I don't know how the audience feels when they see this series of shots on the screen. In fact, how do we live? Is it better than pork intestines? Maybe we don't have to beg in the street. It looks slightly stronger than the pig's large intestine, but the essence is the same. People who are in growth difficulties are suffocated by the cruelty of reality. Where is our childhood confidence? Lost in growing up. In fact, everyone has the shadow of the pig's large intestine, but the one in the film is more typical and direct. If you are poor, down and out, without any background or education, but you want to succeed. Now, you are in rags, sallow and emaciated, standing in the central square of China's largest and most prosperous city (suppose Shanghai for the time being), facing/kloc-0.3 billion people (including your parents and relatives, your classmates and friends, your benefactors who helped you, your enemies who persecuted you, your teachers, your bosses, heads of government, billionaires and you). And now you have nothing but a desire to succeed. ), holding a microphone and a loudspeaker of 1000W, announced: I want to be the king of the world! I want to be more successful, happier, more charming, more beautiful, stronger and richer than any of you! If I ask you to do this now, will you dare? Dare not! No one in normal people will say that they have the courage to do that, and neither will Sister Furong, but it is okay to think so in my heart. Why is this? This is because we lack self-confidence, or we are afraid that cowhide will not be realized in the future, and our relatives, friends, enemies and secret admirers will laugh at ourselves. We are afraid of jokes! We subconsciously know that we can never be the king of the world! Are we all like the pig intestines in the film? Almost. When I was in high school, my grades were not top-notch. In fact, I really want to apply for Tsinghua, but I know my grades are rather mysterious. When I volunteered for the college entrance examination, my classmates asked me which university I wanted to enter, but I didn't dare to say at all. Because I'm thinking about leaving myself a way out, for fear that I won't get into a joke. Later, I accidentally saw a news short film on Beijing TV, saying that foreigners always like to take their children to see Peking University Tsinghua when they travel to Beijing. When a reporter interviewed a little boy who came all the way from other places and asked him why he came to visit Tsinghua campus, the little boy said, "Because I will be admitted to Tsinghua in the future! "I don't think most of us have the courage like a little boy. It's not that we were born without it, but that we lost it when we grew up. Similarly, due to lack of courage and self-confidence, the pig's large intestine was considered by the Jade Emperor as a beggar with nine lives. Due to lack of self-confidence and courage, he was timid all his life and was finally killed by Huang Batian, a wicked man in the ninth century. His last words before he died were: "call me pig intestines!" " "He already knows that he is a person with the same name as others, and naturally he has the same self-esteem as others. Although he was killed by Huang Batian, his fate as a beggar in IX actually changed. It was the rediscovered self-esteem that changed the pig's large intestine.
