Douban opened with a score of 78. It rose to 7 the day after the screening9, the box office of screenings and pre-sales exceeded 100 million, and the cumulative box office in the first weekend was about 2500 million. It can be said that "The Three Teams" is the most weighty and noteworthy new domestic film in the current December file. 
The story of the film has a realistic prototype, adapted from the documentary literature written by the grassroots police officer Deep Blue "Please tell the director, the task of the three teams is completed". The film's position is clearly based on realism, but after watching the whole film, we will find that it is not quite the same as reality, and the hidden details, the multi-faceted characters and the plot with an open-ended ending all make "The Three Teams" worth scrutinizing. 
On the 5th day of the release, it's time to talk about the rich interpretation space of "The Three Teams". Next, Xiao Wan will use 4 key words to sort out the polysemy meaning, hoping that everyone can have new insights and thoughts on this tragic 12-year road of chasing the murderer after reading. 
Chasing the murderer alone vs chasing the murderer in a groupThe prototype story of the film must be clear to many people. A pair of brothers committed a crime, raped and killed a girl after a burglary, his brother Wang Dayong was quickly arrested by **, Wang Dayong died unexpectedly during the interrogation, and all the three police officers involved in the case were sentenced, and the captain Cheng Bing was sentenced to eight years. 
And the criminal Wang Eryong is still on the run. After being released from prison, Cheng Bing is no longer a policeman, but the matter of "arresting Wang Eryong" has always haunted him. 
He spent 4 years as a security guard, a driver, a stall owner, a courier brother, a maintenance worker, and his footprints all over the country, and finally caught Wang Eryong, and left a sentence: Please tell Director Yang that the task of the three teams has been completed. The biggest difference between the movie and the original text (or reality) is that the real mileage soldier is a person who chases the murderer alone for 4 years;And the movie adaptation is to let the four police brothers accompany him and go through a road of chasing the murderer. 
Director Dai Mo explained the reason for the change, saying, "We didn't want him to be so lonely, and we wanted his buddies to be with him on the road for a while. But we have to look for a truth, some people will persevere all the way, some people will give up halfway, this is the normal state of life, it is reasonable. So we saw in the middle of the film that the three teams were reunited, and they divided labor with each other to show their abilities, although in the end, the four of them could not accompany Cheng Bing to the end for their own reasons, but it was enough to be relieved. 
The interesting design is that each of Cheng Bing's teammates in the film (Xu Yizhou who trains dogs, Ma Zhenkun who sets up a night stall, Liao Jian who works as a security guard, and Cai Bin who runs a taxi) is actually more like a part of Cheng Bing's "self". Because these types of work are all real jobs that Cheng Bing did in the process of chasing the murderer. As a result, the movie "separated" 1 person into 5 people, which is actually the loneliness experienced by the real Cheng Bing alone to each brother. 
From this point of view, the departure of the other members of the three teams becomes meaningful. On the road of chasing the murderer with no end in sight, Ma Zhenkun left because of his family and guilt for his wife;Liao Jian left his partner on Chinese New Year's Eve because of his son
The youngest Xu Yizhou, who changed from a boy to a man in the years of chasing the murderer, finally chose another life path because of love;Cai Bin, who has followed Captain Cheng for the longest time, quit because his physical pain could not support him. The choices of the four correspond to family, affection, love and health, and only Cheng Bing chose to chase the culprit like an ascetic. Can it also be understood that Cheng Bing also had these hesitations and stumbling on the way to chase the murderer (netizens called Cheng Bing's if line), but in the end he decided to give up little by little and cut off these parts of his life.
A sense of absurdity in lifeIn the text of the original work, we see more of the loneliness of Cheng Bing chasing the murderer;The presentation of the film adaptation, in addition to the relief of collective pursuit of the murderer and the touching brotherhood, also conveys several absurdities behind this realistic story. The first is the real cause of Wang Dayong's death. It was mentioned in the original documentary literature that Wang Dayong was beaten by the victim's family before he was arrested, and a scene was also filmed in the movie where the police pulled Wang Dayong out of the hands of the angry crowd.
So what is the real cause of Wang Dayong's death?There can be no answer here. And it was the partners of the three teams who paid a heavy price for this. In addition, from Wang Dayong's inadvertent expression when he saw the girl in his wallet before his death, it is not difficult to speculate that he may be the one who violated him, but he died unexpectedly, and Wang Eryong became the target of Cheng Bing's life.
As for what is supporting Cheng Bing's pursuit of the murderer for several years. Zhang Yi mentioned in the interview, he said that there are three thrusts. One is the victim's family who was waiting for him at the door when he was released from prison. For so many years, Wang Eryong has not been forgotten, in addition to him, there are also the parents of the white-haired man who he can't explain to the black-haired man;
One is that the victim girl is very young, only 14 years old, and she is as big as his own daughter Xiaoyudi;The third, most important and most direct is the death of Lao Zhang. It is said that Wang Eryong "bumped" into himself before escaping, which led to his death. So when Wang Eryong was caught, it became Cheng Bing's explanation to ** and Shi Niang.
But later in the film, when Cheng Bing and Shi Niang met again many years later, he learned another layer of "truth". In front of the tomb of **, Shi Niang told Cheng Bing that Wang Eryong "bumped" ** on a rainy night, but it was actually just an explanation that the elderly ** couldn't catch up with him, **I didn't see it up close that night**.
This is tantamount to saying that one of his most obsessive and regretful motivations does not exist at all. Isn't that absurd and nihilistic?But Cheng Bing did not give up chasing the culprit after this "collapse", he continued to go down. So this kind of "persistence after collapse" or "axis" has become the core characteristic of Cheng Bing's character.
But if you look back and think about what the master said to him, does it have to be the truth?Is it that the master is persuading him to let go and return to life?In short, the film adaptation gives an open space for understanding. Ego and samsaraIn the film, Cai Bin, who supported the stall after being released from prison, is a character highly related to the "Buddhism", and he puts "self-grasping" on his lips. But this "ego" has actually been changing with the context.
At the beginning, he was reluctant to join the murder team, and used "self-obsession" to persuade Cheng Bing to let go of his obsession;After joining the murder chasing team, it was also him who used "ego" to explain his return, and he couldn't let go of it himself. At the end of the film, he, who was forced to give up chasing the murderer due to physical reasons, once again used this concept to persuade Captain Cheng Bing not to live in the past, to look forward, and to let go.
"Persistence" can be said to be a summary of Cheng Bing's character, without the support of obsession, he would not have been able to persist for 12 years (analysis of clues in prison + chasing the murderer after being released from prison). Therefore, from another point of view, the "self-grasping" that comforts and exhorts people to let go in the context of Buddhism has become a knot that cannot be let go. In Buddhist language, ego is seen as the root of suffering, the cause of samsara. If we analyze the life stage of Cheng Bing in more depth, we will find that there is also a certain "reincarnation" in him.
Zhang Yi himself also interprets the character of Cheng Bing as having three stages and two transformations. He used to be an ordinary person, a former policeman, once imprisoned as a prisoner, and after being released from prison, he had no fixed residence, hid his identity, and pretended to be a commoner, but he did the work of the police, and the logic of the investigation had to use Wang Eryong's fugitive logic. Therefore, his identity is constantly reincarnated between the three identities of civilian-police-prisoner. From this, it can be understood that director Dai Mo once said that Cheng Bing, who chased the murderer in the end, "slowly and slowly lived like that fugitive".
But fortunately, Cheng Bing really caught Wang Eryong in the end and returned to his peaceful life. All ego becomes "self-worth." Crossroads, is it a dream or a reality?Compared with the "completeness" of the real mileage captain returning to his family life after chasing the murderer, the ending given by the movie adaptation is more open, and it also shows the charm of the movie. At the end of the original article, Cheng Bing and his wife remarried and lived a normal life again;At the end of the movie, Cheng Bing came out of the police station, and on the side of the street in the warm backlight, he saw his teammates from the three major teams, as well as the deceased **.
These former comrades-in-arms came over and greeted him with a smile, all of them were still the same as when they were young, only Cheng Bing had become old. Or, the light and shadow of this intersection is also another possibility that hints: the 12-year road of chasing the murderer, from beginning to end, may be only Cheng Bing aloneThe company of those partners is Cheng Bing's dream?
We can also guess that the reason why Captain Cheng in reality is reluctant to talk about the past is because he has really been helped by his colleagues on the way to chase the murderer, and he is not alone.
This is a part that is not covered by non-fiction, and the creators of the film have chosen to fill the gap in this story with images. It also makes people think further: Cheng Bing, who has completed the mission, has come to a new crossroads, and in the rest of his life, will he finally be able to go on easily, or will he face new confusion?This is the charm of the movie "The Three Brigades", there is no standard answer, everyone can have their own understanding. 100 help plan
