looked at the record of the Spring Festival file as of yesterday, and "Article 20" didn't even enter the top three. I guess Lao Mouzi must be thinking in his heart, sincerity is never a nirvana, let's feed the audience "Man Jianghong" in the future.
Article 20 I read. It's very good-looking, especially good-looking, 108,000 miles stronger than "Man Jianghong", and more in-depth and more jokes than the "Flying Life 2" I have watched. Put a ticket stub first, to prove that my sister is not fooling.
Flying Life 2 also has ticket stubs as evidence, which are very expensive! I took my family of 10 people with me for both films, and I spent more than 500 movie tickets in total!! I have made a great contribution to the profitability of the Spring Festival stalls every year.
As a loyal consumer of the Spring Festival stalls, say a few words. What is the good-looking of "Article 12"? First: In the past, we always shouted that South Korea dared to shoot, and the United States dared to shoot, but now, Lao Mouzi has proved that our Chinese directors can also dare to shoot. This subject matter is absolute critical realism. If you like to see the truth, you must go to the cinema to watch it, and you don't have to envy only South Korea in the future. What kind of dare to shoot? The whole film consists of three cases. The first case involved school bullying. However, Lao Mouzi's perspective not only shows what school bullying is, but also shows why it is difficult to defend rights and why there is always soil for school bullying. The answer is in the teacher's lines: the children who are bullied dare not testify for those who are righteous and courageous, and the children who witness the truth do not dare to testify for those who are righteous and courageous. Why? Fear of retribution. Why is it that in a socialist country, a key middle school with a high admission rate, everyone sharpens their heads and wants to go in, bullying appears, and the teacher feels that there is no way to collect evidence and cannot prove it, so it is recommended that parents who are righteous and brave find the parents of the bully for privacy. Because, the father of the bully is the director of education.
I think this is a very brave thing that Lao Mouzi said to bypass censorship. The essence is to point directly at the inaction of school teachers, and the school itself is a breeding ground for bullying. This is already quite daring to say. Of course, in the end, a line was given, and the school finally found the truth, but the parents of the righteous and courageous classmates entered the bureau. A matter that could have been handled normally must be solved until the righteous and brave people jump and their lives are completely destroyed beyond recognition. Is there a long way to go in the building of the socialist legal system and a healthy campus? This kind of movie, which is more bitter than making a bullied person, is a new angle, and I thought I could praise Lao Mouzi. Because of "Man Jianghong", he scored 0 points in my heart, and it has risen to 75 points.
Compared with the first case of a high school student who acted bravely, the second case in this movie is about an adult who is righteous and courageous. He wasn't as lucky as a high school student. When he was driving a bus, he acted bravely in the face of the behavior of molesting girls, and was finally arrested and imprisoned for three years. After being released from prison, he insisted on petitioning, and was eventually hit and killed. This movie is as cruel as reality, guys! This case made Lao Mouzi's score in my heart rise to 90 points.
The third case is even worse. The family was bullied by the bullies in the village, the wife was ** many times, the husband resisted angrily and was imprisoned, and the bully's father threatened his wife with the children of the family many times, signed an agreement to show that he was fornicating with the bully, and in the end the wife had no choice but to jump off the building to die Mingzhi. In a movie, the victims are students, men, women, and basically ordinary people. In this movie, Lao Mouzi's determination to show critical realism is really comprehensive and thorough. The choice of this theme is a heavy blow to the directors who sing praises in the peaceful and prosperous era. rushed to this theme, which made me feel that the old planner who filmed "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" back then.
2 The second good thing is that the three cases are properly detailed and interspersed, showing Lao Mouzi's directing skills. It is not difficult to tell a story well in one movie after another, "Flying Life 2" and "Hot and Hot" are both stories, but it takes a little skill to tell three stories well. Whether it is the structural layout, the transition, or the core harmony between the cases, it is necessary to make the audience feel silky and smooth in order to get the same appeal point. At this point, the completion of the film is very good. With the son of prosecutor Lei Jiayin as the entry point of the campus bullying case, and with the bus righteousness and courage case that Lei Jiayin once handled as the series and emotional promotion point, under the emotional impetus of these two cases to the audience, the main village bully ** wounding case was launched.
The three cases all involve the scale of justifiable defense, and the multi-faceted perspectives of the predicaments faced by the parties in each case are developed for the audience to understand. In the school bullying case, we follow the perspective of the righteous and brave man himself, and his parents, and the most important thing is the perspective of his parents, what the audience sees through the movie is that the righteous and courageous act has a really great impact on the family of the person concerned, and for a person who does good deeds, if he wants to get rid of an unfair result, how much will it cause to his life. In the case of the bus and the courageous act, we followed the perspective of the procuratorate, the righteous and brave and his family. The two sides, which were supposed to be opposites, became a relationship between the defensive and the defended. Prosecutor Lei Jiayin was valued by the leadership because it was effective in preventing those who acted bravely from petitioning. Is it sarcastic or not? Are you in charge of petitioning? If you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who has the problem. This kind of officialdom is really familiar, right? In the end, the lines of the daughter of the righteous and brave man made people cry. Because his father was imprisoned for three years for righteousness and bravery, she was ridiculed by her classmates every day, and her living environment was extremely bad. So, she kept asking her dad to petition because they were not wrong. When you are acting bravely, how do you calmly judge that one more punch is considered a mutual assault? Do I have to use my life to stop others from doing bad things and not fighting back, so that I am worthy of being called righteous and courageous? These two cases acted as catalysts to change prosecutor Lei Jiayin's reaction and decision when he encountered the third case. As he said, there is nothing wrong with the law. Well, the only thing that can change is the law enforcers. I really hope that this kind of film can be seen by more legal practitioners. Every case they adjudicate is the life of others, especially ordinary people. When the outcome of the third case came out, all emotions came naturally. It can be said that both in terms of subject matter and logic, this movie is very successful and very good-looking.
3 If the first two highlights are what I like, because after all, it still requires a little thinking, and some people will think that it is not suitable for family fun. Then the third attraction is properly customized for the family carnival. Zhang Yimou's cooperation with Happy Twist was full of laughter from the beginning, and even more than a sketch. The funny bickering between husband and wife is definitely done to neutralize the heavy and deliberate plot. After all, many people go to the cinema to relax. The Chinese celebrate the New Year, and pay attention to a harmonious atmosphere. So, although the laughter is a bit too much and too dense, I put up with it when I think about the needs of the audience.
In short, in terms of good-looking, to be honest, "Article 20" is better than "Flying Life 2". Because Lao Mouzi has achieved a scale that many directors can't do, after all, this is a harmonious Spring Festival file. I'm glad to see the diversification of our film genres. Because of this movie, I forgave "Man Jianghong". I'm Scarlett, and I want to see more independent film reviews, welcome to follow.
