The film "The Tip of the Knife" is set in 1940 in Nanjing, the city where Wang's puppet regime briefly gained a foothold. There, Chongqing**, the Japanese devils, and our anti-Japanese organizations, they are like a group of Jianghu people fighting in the city, each doing their own thing, and secretly clashes. In order to compete for the fortress of intelligence and the fruits of victory, it is really the tip of the knife licking blood, fighting to the death.
Most of the film is about a complex situation and a brain-hot struggle that leaves you confused. However, the preciousness of this film is not only to show the latent life dancing on the tip of the knife, but also to show the crazy consequences of militarism by depicting a small corner of the underground anti-Japanese war in Nanjing, predicting that the corrupt Chongqing ** will eventually fall.
Overall, the film is intended to convey a simple sentiment of patriotism and justice. But in Nanjing in 1940, the environment was complicated, bad people were everywhere, and patriotism and justice became particularly precious.
The protagonist of the story is Jin Shenshui, starring Zhang Yi. The film starts from the perspective of Kim Shenshui, clearly revealing who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. But as the plot develops, the audience will discover that even Kim Shenshui himself is not a completely kind character, his choices can change at any point in the middle, and his initial motivation is not out of faith, but for the revenge of his family.
Shizuko in the film is a Japanese, her husband is a Japanese military officer, and she is seen by Chongqing as a way to contact Japan's top brass. Jin Shenshui's so-called love affair with her is only to complete the task, not out of sincere feelings. However, Shizuko has true feelings for Jin Shenshui, and even pays the price of her life for love.
As a result, Kim has mixed feelings for Shizuko and the Japanese people she represents. In the film, Shizuko's character breaks down the simplistic stereotypical portrayal of the image of the Japanese. Despite the immeasurable crimes of the Japanese invaders, Kim Shensu, in addition to hatred, was for Shizuko. Is there any other attitude towards death?
In the film, Lin Yingying performed well, and used clever words to make Wang Pseudo have internal contradictions. But know that without a strong intelligence network, a well-planned identity, and an organized timely rescue, she could well have been in trouble. To put it simply, Lin Yingying's success is inseparable from the support and teamwork behind it.
Everyone's will is not absolutely immutable, it will sway at any time like a leaf on a tree. In this era of complex strife, people will change their choices as the situation turns. And it is this change of choice that has become an important and eye-catching part of the movie "The Edge of the Knife".
To put it simply, in this huge tangle of contradictions, everyone is fighting for the chance to survive, just to survive. So why will they choose to change, this question has become the key to the movie.
The movie "The Tip of the Knife" is really a masterpiece in spy war movies. After "The Wind", director Gao Qunshu brought us a spy war blockbuster with a unique style, grand narrative and full of emotions. Do you know that in that era of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, there was a group of people who walked on the tip of the knife in obscurity.
They lurked behind enemy lines for years, incognito, and held fast to their beliefs. For the sake of a bright future that they may not be able to see with their own eyes, they fight silently, even at the cost of sacrifice. These heroes are dancers on the tip of the knife.
The main purpose of this movie is to tell everyone how precious patriotism and justice were during the special period in Nanjing in 1940. In those days, the streets were full of bad guys, and survival was a problem, but it was in this environment that patriots and righteous people were more heroic and stuck to their beliefs. In other words, the film shows everyone how important it is to stand up for justice and patriotism in difficult times.
