Director Zhang Yimou has brought another excellent work!
On the occasion of the arrival of 2024, director Zhang Yimou once again brought his new work "Article 20" to the screen.
Hot and Flying Life 2 made it to the top of the charts, albeit a few days before the Chinese New Year.
However, since 17 February, Article 20 has begun to break the deadlock.
It has successfully become an unexpected dark horse in this Spring Festival stall, which has attracted widespread attention from everyone.
Many moviegoers have said that the cast of this movie is strong! The theme of the film is profound, and it would be unacceptable if it didn't succeed!
However, in the midst of these praises, there is a strange voice.
In the acting school, there is an actor with a mediocre performance, and I think the reason why he was able to act to this point is because he has a backer.
This netizen's remarks are impressive, but how true is what he said?
What is the success of this movie?
The film industry has always been known for "the winner is king, and the loser is the villain".
As of February 17, many people have noticed that Zhang Yimou's film "Article 20" has not been able to catch up with the box office performance of "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2".
immediately began to "satirize" director Zhang Yimou.
also talked about actors, such as "Zhao Liying didn't beat Jia Ling" and "Ma Li won't be able to do it after leaving Shen Teng", these words are very harsh.
On February 17, Article 20 began to rise to the top of the list, which is really good news.
Until February 19, 2024, it is still firmly at the top of the list.
The key to successfully breaking through and becoming a dark horse lies in the logic of the script and the theme of the movie, which are the most basic elements.
Article 20 does an excellent job in this regard.
On February 15, even the people issued a document in support of Article 20.
Article 20 has undoubtedly received a great deal of attention and access as a result.
Of course, this result is closely related to the theme and plot of the film.
The film's title, Article 20, is subtle, but it is also the most obvious hint.
Many people may not understand why this is called Article 20 at first.
In fact, it refers to the legal provisions on "legitimate defense" in Article 20 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China.
Actually, this related case is closely related to us, because as law-abiding and honest citizens, we never take the initiative to cause trouble.
However, that doesn't stop things from coming your way.
Therefore, several cases in the film are based on positions that we often encounter in our daily lives.
The movie contains three cases, namely the bus case, the school bullying case, and the village bully bullying case.
At the end of the story, the protagonist Han Ming said the last words:
What is the law? It is a matter of course, a national law, and a human morality.
Director Zhang Yimou conveyed some shocking words to all the audience through the actors' lines.
It's no surprise that the film was able to reach the top of the charts, as evidenced by these few words alone.
At this point in the movie, I burst into tears.
In societies in the past, for whatever reason, once a conflict broke out, it would turn into a mutual assault.
Isn't everyone who intends to file a lawsuit in pursuit of so-called fairness and justice?
The reason why this film has been such a huge success is inseparable from the excellent acting skills of the actors.
The audience can only truly integrate into the role if the actor's acting skills are excellent. After all, only then can they substitute themselves into it.
However, in this drama composed of all the actors, there is one actor who failed to win the audience's approval.
They suspected that the actor's acting skills were poor, and even suspected that she got the role based on relationships.
What is her identity?
Xu Jingya is the actor who played Yaya in the movie.
Her appearance is directly related to the bus case of righteousness and bravery.
Her questioning also stimulates the passion of the protagonist Han Ming, so she plays a very key role in the story.
Zhang Guisheng is a bus driver who took action to help a girl who was harassed on his bus.
Due to the disparity in strength, Zhang Guisheng was forced to engage in a fierce conflict with the other party and had to use "** to fight back."
Subsequently, because of the adrenaline rush and the desire to help others, the mentality takes over the body, and as a result, he accidentally shoots someone else.
After several years of re-education through labor, it was finally determined that he was guilty of intentional injury.
Persist in petitioning, even after being released from prison.
In his quest for justice, he was killed by a speeding truck on a petition.
She thinks that her father Zhang Guisheng is a brave and heroic person, and Yaya is his daughter.
Therefore, we encourage fathers to petition the hospital.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she clung to her torn helmet.
In this place, Yaya must be very emotional while looking at the helmet in her hand that has been knocked out of shape and stained with blood.
Maybe he should be remorseful for encouraging his father, or resentful of Han Ming's verdict.
However, Xu Jingya just pouted and looked at Han Ming, even though the expression on her face was tearful.
If you look closely, it feels very incongruous, because the audience can't see the emotion of remorse or anger.
It seems that he only came here to say these few lines.
Especially when tearing up the petition, her movements were a little restrained.
Han Ming's (Lei Jiayin) fidgeting expression was particularly obvious in contrast to the one next to him.
Ms. Xu has been criticized for these issues.
However, considering that the actors in this movie are all powerful, it is heartening.
Each of the main actors has a lot of acting experience in this film, and their acting skills have been honed over a long period of time.
As a new actor, although Xu Jingya's performance is still a little immature, it is already very good.
The audience can point out the problem, which means that Xu Jingya's acting skills still have room for improvement.
I believe that Xu Jingya will have a greater breakthrough in acting skills in the future.
This movie not only has Xu Jingya, but also many acting actors, among which Zhao Liying is the representative.
In the promotional stage when this movie has not yet been released, several clips of Zhao Liying have been leaked on the Internet.
The audience simply can't see what the film is about in these few minutes.
However, it was this trailer that made Zhao Liying a hot search topic.
Zhao Liying's crying scene is so good, and the reason is very obvious.
She didn't say a word, but it caused the whole network to feel sorry for her.
In the movie, the role of Zhao Liying is Hao Xiuping, a deaf and mute.
For the sake of her and her husband's deaf daughter, they had to borrow from loan sharks.
Their nightmare began with this act.
Under the pretext of collecting debts, the village tyrant wantonly beat Hao Xiuping's husband Wang Yongqiang.
Then he set his sights on Hao Xiuping and forced her to become his woman. In this case, the village tyrant will always tie Wang Yongqiang and Hao Xiuping to a dog leash together.
Hao Xiuping finally couldn't stand it anymore, she stood at the door of the house and gestured to Wang Yongqiang, "I don't want to live anymore."
Viewers sitting in front of the screen could feel the grievances and despair on her face.
Wang Yongqiang was naturally like this, facing Hao Xiuping's expression.
rushed straight out of the house and launched a fierce confrontation with the village tyrant.
After being threatened by the village bully to "use a knife", due to extreme fear, he finally chose to obey the village tyrant.
Wang's fear and hatred can be confirmed by the 26 wounds on the village tyrant's body.
Wang Yongqiang went to prison, but Hao Xiuping had to wander around with her daughter.
Han Ming and Lu Lingling, as prosecutors, resolutely decided not to give up on them, and the reason goes without saying.
The family members of the village tyrant are still looking for clues, and in order to exonerate their relatives, they have found Hao Xiuping.
In order for her to sign a "voluntary agreement", even kidnapped her daughter.
Fortunately, Han Ming and Lu Lingling arrived in time and let us have a good time at the train station.
Zhao Liying's performance in this scene is impressive.
Seeing that his daughter was about to be taken away, he did not hesitate to hug his daughter tightly in his arms, no matter how many men were present.
No matter which man is there, as long as she is on the scene, she can suffer the blow of a blue nose and swollen face.
Although she realized this, she stepped forward and hugged her daughter tightly.
In the process of searching for evidence, when he found Wang Dayong, he learned that his daughter had disappeared.
The emotions were out of control and rushed straight to the rooftop.
Han Ming and Lu Lingling planned to save her, and they advised her to think carefully.
In this episode, Hao Xiuping stretched out her hand.
She didn't want to die, but the circumstances around her reminded her that only by losing herself could her daughter and man continue to live.
Then he jumped and fortunately survived.
In this episode, Zhao Liying interprets this role brilliantly.
She successfully portrayed the feelings of helplessness in power and the hardships of life.
When the audience is in **, they basically can't see Zhao Liying's shadow from her performance, they will only feel that Hao Xiuping has really worked hard to change.
This also shows Zhao Liying's efforts for this role.
In the movie "Article 20", we can see our own reflection.
Hao Xiuping felt helpless, she felt that her abilities were limited, and she was treated unfairly and could not protect her rights and interests.
Lu Lingling is a persistent and determined individual, she dares to face power and truth.
We should not turn our heads lightly, but should pursue the clearest truth.
One of her words was on point.
Why did Hao Xiuping jump off the building?
Despair of the rule of law and fairness has become an irreversible state of mind.
Then the mother must be prevented from rekindling hope.
So, what qualifications do we have to wear such clothes?
These words moved Han Ming and made him show his courage.
The protagonist of Han Ming is a person who has been tempered by the world and has now become sleek and sophisticated.
Bow deeply to the Dean of Students as a sign of apology.
This is a person who knows how to protect himself cautiously and weigh the pros and cons before acting.
At this stage, many people have lost their conscience.
Lu Lingling's encouragement inspired Han Ming's inner courage and cheered him up.
Han Ming's statement at the hearing was like the end of the movie.
Will there still be people on the road who will see injustice, if justice is seen as a sin?
Where is the authority of the law? Isn't it the hope of the people?
The goal of the law should be to increase the cost of the bad guy's crime, not the penalty for the good guy.
So, how are we going to give such a world to children?
The law is the law of the universe, the rules and regulations, and the social norm.
I am skeptical of the law of the land, which has no heavenly principles, and I am also skeptical of the heavenly principles that have no human feelings.
Never succumb to lawlessness.
This is what we want to express most after watching the movie, and it is also a prerequisite for society to become better.
