Dear netizens, at the beginning of the new year, the days that should be festive have become full of pathos because of the finale of "South to North". This period drama, which has always been known for its warmth, staged the unexpected sacrifice of the protagonist Ma Kui at the last moment, and the unexpected tragic ending made countless audiences cry in the New Year's bell. Is the screenwriter using such a plot arrangement to test our tear ducts or is he interpreting the worldview of "good people are difficult to live long"?Let's count this tearful ending.
In terms of plot, when Ma Kui and Wang Xin's master and apprentice faced Jia Jinlong's Jedi counterattack in the final game of the play, everything should have been smooth. When Jia Jinlong's men collapsed and surrendered, leaving him alone and helpless, who would have thought that Ma Kui would be stabbed in the chest by a sudden knife after achieving the victory of seizing the gun, and he would die with a whimper. This turn caught the audience off guard, could it be the screenwriter's fanatical pursuit of the "reversal" complex?
After watching it back and forth a few times, it is true that the scene of Jia Jinlong pulling out the knife is handled quite vaguely, as if to imply: In this world, no matter how heroic you are, risks are always lurking in the shadows. Ma Kui's sacrifice is undoubtedly the most unfair ending for this good policeman. Does the screenwriter want to show that good people always suffer misfortune?
However, Ma Kui's sacrifice is particularly abrupt in the plot. Facing Jia Jinlong, who had already been captured, the experienced Ma Kui and Wang Xin actually let the tragedy happen. Such an arrangement can't help but make people question the screenwriter's intentions: Why do you have to arrange a tragic sacrifice of the male protagonist in such a family drama?
The other characters in the play all ushered in a happy ending without exception, but this kind couple suffered misfortune. Wang Sufang's early death, Ma Kui's unjust imprisonment, and now this ending is like this, is "good people have no good reward" is the signal that the screenwriter wants to send?Isn't this exactly the negative teaching material of "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil"?
Seeing this, netizens, I don't know if you are also like me, you have an indescribable taste for this ending?Do you also have the urge to complain?Don't forget, leave your thoughts in the comment section, and follow my account, let's complain about this finale together. Isn't the screenwriter too ruthless, a good drama has to end with "good people don't end well"?What do you think of such a plot arrangement?
