The competition in this year's Spring Festival stalls is quite fierce, and Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" is full of gimmicks because of **100 catties.
Flying Life 2" is full of highlights because of Shen Teng's return.
Compared with "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2", which have obvious comedy labels in themselves, "Article 20" has bitter emotions in the rhythm of publicity.
It has almost become a decisive factor for the movie to fall off the list of preferred netizens.
According to the data, the box office of "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2" has exceeded 2 billion.
But Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" barely crossed the 1 billion mark.
However, he is Zhang Yimou, compared to Han Han and Jia Ling, directors who are halfway home.
How could the national teacher just make a bitter movie to sweep everyone's interest during the Spring Festival.
Is Article 20 worth it? We savor it.
laughed to the extreme, but cried without knowing it (including spoilers).
The audience hates sensational movies, but they can't refuse to be moved by emotion, the "love" of "Article 20".
Without universality, maternal love and family affection will never be the emotional elements of Zhang Yimou's kidnapping of the audience, but social issues are.
The whole movie actually involves three parts of the plot.
The son of the male protagonist Han Ming (played by Lei Jiayin) acted bravely at school, but was asked to apologize for injuring the school bully.
The male protagonist took over a tricky case, and the bullies in the village bullied Hao Xiuping (played by Zhao Liying) with loan sharks.
Hao Xiuping's husband was in pain and had no choice but to fight back.
As a result, the village bully died in the hospital, and Hao Xiuping's husband faced a prison sentence for it.
In addition to this, there was also a bus driver who witnessed the gangster** passengers.
The dispute intensified the contradictions, fought and was imprisoned for three years, and finally died on the way to Beijing to appeal.
The main line of the story is full of helplessness and tragedy.
But the protagonists of the story stand on the line of the law, trying to make fairness more fair.
It is reported that the cases in the movie all have archetypal references, precisely because the stories come from real people and events.
to make the movie have a more shocking effect.
Of course, in the tragic story, Zhang Yimou's sense of humor is everywhere.
Han Ming, played by Lei Jiayin, is positive and a nest, although he is an honest and good person.
But it has long been smoothed out by life.
At least in the first half of the movie, Lei Jiayin is a comedic character who nods his head.
The leader praised him for compliments, and the leader appeared and he opened the door.
And the most amazing thing is the story collision between Han Ming played by Lei Jiayin and Li Maojuan played by Ma Li.
In the plot, the two have been married for many years, quarreling every day, and the chickens and dogs in family life.
In Ma Li's cannon-like mouth, it has a more comedic effect, and Han Ming, who is already a nest, shows a sense of powerless resentment.
The two drove wildly after Zhang Guisheng, a bus driver who went to Beijing to complain.
shouted in the wind with the window open, and did not forget to complain to each other, and the audience was because of the comedy collision between the actors.
laughed breathlessly, but in the next second, Zhang Guisheng, who was riding a motorcycle, was hit by a large truck.
The abruptly stopped laughter with nowhere to be placed, exclaimed, surprised, this kind of big move is halfway down but under control.
It makes people's hearts hurt like pins and needles.
Across the screen, Zhang Yimou seemed to be saying: Don't laugh, look at the real world.
CCTV's spicy comments, every word, speak to the audience's heart
We often say that the law hasOn the inevitable, rational, and systematic side, judges should be rational and objective in their judgments
Emotions and personal preferences should not be mixed in, and their only criterion is the rigid letter of the law.
In the background of the story of "Article 20", there are countless cases like Hao Xiuping, who were convicted of manslaughter.
Han Ming and Lu Lingling (Gao Ye) serve as prosecutors.
What they want to do is not just to bring justice to Hao Xiuping.
He overturned all similar cases in the past, pointed at the noses of these referees and said: You are wrong.
Han Ming asked Lu Lingling rhetorically, what could he do, everyone judged it like this.
Lu Lingling asked Han Ming rhetorically, does everyone judge like this, does it mean that they are right?
Through the screen, from the perspective of a bystander, who can survive those extremely sad pictures.
Hao Xiuping's husband was humiliated and treated like a dog.
Hao Xiuping, who was deaf and dumb, had a bloody face and was disheveled: What should I do in the future? The days are still so long.
Zhang Guisheng's daughter touched the bloody helmet and burst into tears, blaming herself for having to ask her father to fight for the so-called fairness.
If the law is not on the side of these weak people, then who can protect them and speak up for them.
After the movie was launched, the reviews on the Internet were all one-sided praise.
The people quote lines from the movie"We are not handling cases, we are handling other people's lives."As an introduction.
The social significance of the film "Article 20" was emphasized.
Article 20 of the Criminal Law is about "legitimate defense", and the film uses the case as the main line.
In recent years, the social discussion on the issue of justifiable defense has been brought to the screen.
It seems to be documenting a case and telling a story, but more importantly, it reveals a shift in judicial philosophy.
Just like Hao Xiuping in the movie, she would rather gamble with her life.
also jumped down to completely cut off the possibility of being used and coerced, and she did not choose to die when she was humiliated.
When he was poor, he did not choose to die, and when his husband was in prison, he did not choose to die.
In the last moments of her life, she mistakenly believed that it was despair that crushed her, not despair of the harm she had suffered.
It's justice, it's despair for prosecutors.
There should be hope for the meaning of the existence of the law.
Clicking on the comment area of the movie is the most real feedback from netizens.
"Ask for your life for the common people, and avenge your grievances for the weak".
"Article 20, may we have the confidence to defend ourselves."
"The first hour of the film was bursting with laughter, and at the end of the heart, Zhang Yimou was a cow."
Some people praised Zhang Yimou's still stable performance and recognized his grasp of the rhythm of the story.
Some people appreciated the portrayal of the actors, and applauded Lei Jiayin and Ma Li's comedy rhythm, and Zhao Liying's crying scene.
But "Article 20" is not just a Spring Festival movie, it focuses on "law and love".
The story of laughter and tears tells the process of continuous improvement of China's legal provisions and the gradual improvement of judicial concepts.
And on the road of pursuing fairness and justice, there have been countless sacrifices who have bravely moved forward.
Still stopping, there is already an answer in the movie.
In my opinion, "Article 20" is a film about courage.
