Reflections after watching "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right"

I watched the open-air premiere of "The Righteous" at the Great Wall Theater in Watertown, Hubei last night. Writing a film review is not a request from the film studio, it is purely a personal wish and I guarantee objectivity. In some places, I may be A little picky, a little picky, a little harsh.

The most impressive scene

After reading the whole story, the thing that touched me the most was, The most impressive scene is the first scene, where Zhu Qianlong and Gen Gen kill the master's family on the master's birthday. There is no hesitation or sloppiness in every action. The rhythm is neat and shocking. Although it only lasts for a few minutes, it is unforgettable. Among them, the scene where Gengen chopped off the head of the young senior sister with a knife, and the head flew directly out of the window, if I had to describe it, it would be three words: "It's amazing!". (I wonder if a scene like this wouldn't have been cut when it was released in theaters)

The most amazing character.

Let’s talk about what I think is the best character in this movie. It is the elder brother Zhu Qianlong played by Liao Fan. Personally, I feel that Liao Fan has a villain temperament, and the villain he plays naturally reveals a certain evil spirit and domineering character. Liao Fan in this movie is definitely a competent villain. Hatred and hypocrisy are all top-notch. Look at when he shot the master and the woman in white, there was another detail that completely exposed this cruelty. When he shot five people on the river bank, he first asked, is that just a few? Then he took the gun from the person next to him, bang bang bang bang, fired five shots in a row without any pause. After killing the person, he casually threw the pistol to the assistant next to him. The whole process was smooth and natural, and the killing seemed to him like a wild goose chase. Soaking is as natural and easy as doing it. And when he said righteously and sternly that "evil can never prevail against good", he said to Li Tianran "You killed the master" in front of Li Tianran. He was so righteous and stern in saying that he had stolen the sky for a horse, and he said it righteously and sternly. Isn't it true? Can only a person who is bad to the core do this? As long as you have a shred of conscience, you will not have the confidence to say this kind of thing. Isn't it worthy of giving Liao Fan a high score for such superb acting skills?

Walking Hormone

As for Eddie Peng, Eddie Peng is so handsome! So handsome! Regardless of his face, body, or skills, he is so handsome that he is almost out of his mind. Peng Yuyan is particularly suitable for the entire character creation. He is a young boy of his right age, a capable boy, and a clear, simple and upright boy. They are all very suitable. They all appear to be acting in their true colors. He is born to be this kind of person and does not need too many acting skills. Integrate. There is only one thing, it is not obvious that he has great hatred. In Li Tianran's performance, the hatred is not very obvious. He doesn't look like a boy who grew up wrapped in hatred, but like a boy who grew up in sunshine and rain. Liao Fan's villain feels like he is deep in his bones, with a natural viciousness in his words and actions. Peng Yuyan's hatred is not that powerful. Peng Yuyan's hatred is not strong enough to sustain his great hatred.

Lan Qingfeng

Let’s talk about Mr. Lan played by Director Jiang. This is the most complex character in human nature. He is a planner with plans and great wisdom, and he has a heroic temperament. and a character with a vicious temperament. In terms of cruelty alone, this character's cruelty is on par with Zhu Qianlong's. It's just that this character has a righteous mission. Because he is a positive character, his viciousness will be diluted and blurred to a large extent.

When he had a disagreement with Dr. Hendry, he was afraid that Hendry would become an obstacle to his plan, so he pushed him off the city wall without hesitation. Before that, there was a ** between them * After more than ten years, he called Hendry his half-brother, and his sons all called Hendry father. Those who have plans and plans are extremely controlling. He even treated his two sons as pawns in the chess game. Later, they all died because of the war. His pain was real, but for people like him, if he chooses again, the choice will not change. Such people have mountains and rivers in their hearts and great love, but they lack the fireworks and human feelings of everyday people.

Lan Ye and Zhu Qianlong are both vicious people, what is the difference between them.

Zhu Qianlong is downright bad, and Lan Ye will still make right and wrong choices within his own limits, and will try his best to not feel guilty. After he killed Hendry, he told Li Tianran that Hendry was the one who killed him. Li Tianran naturally thought that he admitted that Hendry was killed by himself out of some kind of apology, just like Li Tianran himself believed that Hendry was killed by himself.

But on the one hand, Lan Ye's self-report is a tortuous undertaking, and he is telling it to himself. In this case, Zhu Qianlong would not be able to say it, because Zhu Qianlong's heart is impersonal. And when Li Tianran killed Zhu Qianlong and asked Lan Ye whether he killed Hendry's father, Lan Ye denied it in a roundabout way. He did not directly answer the question "no killing", but used a rhetorical question: Zhu Qianlong He also said that you killed your master’s entire family. Can you believe his words? Then he changed the topic and started to read the secret code to save General Zhang.

Why do I think Lan Ye’s answer for not facing the problem directly and denying the murder is that he has a choice between right and wrong and is kind in his heart. Because those upright people can deceive everyone, but they cannot ignore their own hearts and cannot lie to themselves. Every action they take must step on their own principles, which is why the more righteous and stern Zhu Qianlong says that Li Tianran killed his master, and the more he refuses to admit that he killed his master, the more he will anger Li Tianran.

Li Tianran therefore had to force Zhu Qianlong to admit that he had killed the master before he shot him. Faced with Zhu Qianlong's denial, Li Tianran asked, "If Master had agreed to sell the land to you to grow opium, would you have killed Master's family?" Zhu Qianlong said, "Of course not." As soon as he said this, It was equivalent to Zhu Qianlong admitting that he had killed his master and his family, and Li Tianran's gun clicked immediately. What Li Tianran wanted was a personal admission. And if the roles are reversed, people like Zhu Qianlong will not care about this belief and will not take into account this persistence. As long as they can kill the opponent, they will do it.

At the last moment, Lan Ye said to Li Tianran, "I saved your life, and today you saved my life. Let's settle the score. I am no longer your father." This plot is also a performance that reflects Lan Ye's integrity. He clearly knows his relationship with Li Tianran. He spends money to cultivate him just because he knew he wanted to use him at the first sight when he saw him fifteen years ago.

This is something Lan Ye himself admitted in the dialogue, "I betrayed you the first time I saw you fifteen years ago." He also used the business relationship with Hendry in the same way. When he and Hendry had a conflict on the city wall, he said "I

BUY YOU I BUY YOU". This is a real clear relationship, and those so-called friendships are just the icing on the cake.

Let’s talk about the women in Jiang Wen’s movies.

Director Jiang has always held women in high esteem, and said at the premiere that "women are like gods." In each of the Republic of China trilogy, there are two kinds of extreme women, one with all kinds of charms, the other with gentleness and innocence. The county magistrate's wife played by Carina Lau in "Let the Bullets Fly", Wan Yanying played by Shu Qi in "One Step Away", and Tang Fengyi played by Xu Qing in "The Righteous One", are all extremely charming women. The Hua Jie played by Zhou Yun, Wu Liu, and Guan Qiaohong are all innocent and clear women.

The two types of women in Jiang Wen's movies have one thing in common, they are both straightforward and sincere. And unlike the male characters, there is no difference between good and bad. The women in his movies are all beautiful, and what they pursue deep down is love. Even if the women in the film team up with the villain, the women in Jiang Wen's films don't. The difference between good and bad, likes and dislikes.

Women who live a dusty life are products pulled out by cruel reality and their true temperament. Only by becoming a part of this dirty world, and only by deceiving themselves and others, can they survive in the dangerous world. There is a place. Compared with the other extreme, this type of women looks miserable and makes people sigh. If they have someone they can rely on and are well protected, I think they will live a simple and clear life. We can't blame these beautiful people, we can only blame the world for being unkind.

Talk about how to face the human weaknesses we are born with.

Li Tianran is burdened with great hatred, but he is also vulnerable and afraid when facing hatred. His heart is not as brave and fearless as he says he wants revenge. Qiaohong also saw this, and she encouraged and guided him to break through the psychological barrier of revenge.

At the beginning, we would praise Qiaohong for her boldness, anger, integrity and bravery, but at the end, Qiaohong said that she also had revenge to take, and she was also afraid that she would remain motionless when facing her enemies. , she made an experiment with Li Tianran. If he could do it, she believed she could do it too.

Each of us is born cowardly and lazy, so it is not shameful to be afraid. You see, young heroes like Li Tianran are also afraid like us, so what have we done? Overcoming ourselves is what makes us heroes. Face your weaknesses calmly, don't run away from it, don't hide it, face it head on, and do your best to overcome it.

By this summer, Jiang Wen’s promised trilogy of the Republic of China has been completed. I personally feel that this film will be more popular than One Step Away. The story line is very clear and everyone can understand the story. , it’s just the experience of the details that will bring about differences in feelings, but it may not be as popular as Let the Bullets Fly. There are many similarities between these three movies, so Evil Will Not Suppress Righteousness will not be as blockbuster as Let The Bullets Fly in the first place.

Finally, I will vindicate One Step Away. One Step Away is basically a romantic love story. I personally think it is very beautiful. It is my favorite part of the trilogy. I also think it is one of the three. Zhong Zhou Yun's best performance.

There are many directors who tell stories, but it is the skill of a filmmaker to tell a story delicately and artistically. Jiang Wen's movies always contain many exquisite and black humorous details. The movie is a good movie, Peng Yuyan is the hormone for walking, and Jiang Wen is the hormone for the soul. After reading it, I still decided to continue to be a fan of Jiang Wen and not cancel it. over.
