Wei Cheng Film Review

My family of three watched the film Wei Cheng this evening. I think it's a good shot, which makes us see many human weaknesses clearly.

The director exposed and satirized the social truth: in the face of power, people can give up the so-called morality and judgment of right and wrong, and for their own stability, they don't care whether others live or die. When it does not involve your own safety, you are nosy and call for fairness, openness and justice. In the film, the contradiction of accepting foreigners at first is easily resolved because they obey the local authoritative leadership. In the face of greater power, have it both ways will be defeated, afraid of greater power, compromising oneself for peace, and dare not care about right and wrong.

Human nature has always been like this, and it has not changed so far, because their basic needs are just to live a good life, for example, noodle shop owners are only willing to be sprayers.

Eddie Peng Yuyan's role as a prodigal son is also based on the sad role of being disheartened and escaping from reality unfairness caused by his insistence on justice in the past, and he is struggling fiercely between pretending indifference and conscience discovery. Later, I didn't want to change the reality. Finally, I was encouraged and inspired by Liu Qingyun's role, and I had a rebellious consciousness that had been suppressed for many years. This the Monkey King finally caught the demon and saved Liu Qingyun.

Jason Wu plays the power faction, which is very pragmatic. From his past life experience, he concluded that he had to rely on his own power to change the reality. He didn't escape like a prodigal son, so he supported the warlords in power and did his duty faithfully. His inner contradiction was a fierce struggle between brotherhood and military duties. Finally, in order to save his younger brother, he was killed by a wine jar, which made people particularly moved.

The warlord's son, played by Louis Koo, is indiscriminate and heartless, and takes killing as a joke. Laughing at the darkness of human nature, I feel that people who have no consciousness are not worthy of pity and power is supreme, so I have no guilt in killing people. Is also a cynical person, hide the hypocrisy of the landlord and have it both ways. The audience who killed the landlord was very happy. In the end, what goes around comes around. The murderous maniac was beaten to death by the people. It's especially painful.

As a result, when the local people have different ideas from the leaders of the local security corps, they no longer support small leaders, but are more afraid of power, which coincides with the landlord's idea. It can be seen that the cynicism of loose people is an attitude when it does not involve their own interests, and another attitude when it involves their own interests. The director has vividly expounded it. Under the system of loose and peaceful management, the public has always been like this.

satire belongs to satire, and criticism belongs to criticism, so what kind of attitude towards life should be adopted in reality is not provided by the director. This needs to be pondered by yourself.
