This Taiwanese film "Removing the Three Evils Around the World", which uses historical allusions as a metaphor and is based on Liu Huanrong, has caused countless heated discussions as soon as it was released in the mainland, and some people even commented that this is the best movie in the past five years, and its film schedule and praise once surpassed several other popular movies in the Spring Festival file.
In the eyes of the villagers, Zhou is the head of the "three evils" of Yixing, and even if he kills the tiger and kills the Jiao, he will not be forgiven by the people. What is rare and commendable is that Zhou can realize his serious mistakes from the reactions of the villagers, and then listen to the advice of the sages, repent, and abandon evil and follow good.
Chen Guilin appeared as Guilinzai and became famous in one fell swoop.
The story begins at the funeral of gangster Hong Ye. Two months ago, Brother Jiu went to Hong Ye's casino and won more than 8 million, but he didn't expect Hong Ye to admit it, and when Brother Jiu was angry, he asked his subordinate Guilin Tsai (played by Ruan Jingtian) to go to Hong Ye to collect debts, and as a result, Guilin Tsai not only wanted back 8 million, but also blew up the entire casino with a grenade, including Hong Ye's life.
So Hong Ye's subordinate Brother Tietou issued a chase order to Guilinzai, just when everyone thought that Guilinzi was more auspicious, Brother Tietou appeared at Hong Ye's funeral, and Chen Guilin calmly put down the lunch box in his hand, took out the gun in his arms, pushed through the crowd all the way, walked straight to the vicinity of Brother Tietou, and hit the key point with one shot. The people around him all squatted down with their heads in their hands, and Chen Guilin strode up to Hong Ye, and re-shot nine shots, and the guns hit the vital point.
The police outside reacted quickly when they heard the gunshots, and Chen Guilin fled in full view of everyone. The criminal policeman Chen Ash (played by Li Liren) took the lead in chasing him, but was blinded in one eye by Chen Guilin during the fight.
Chen Guilin, who wanted to become famous, immediately formulated his own plan to become famous after seeing the first three wanted criminals at the police station.
In this way, four years have passed, Chen Guilin has become a wanted criminal and lives a life of hiding, while Chen Shen has been struggling to find his whereabouts and not giving up any clues.
If Chen Guilin said that the only person he cared about in this world was his grandmother, but due to his identity, he didn't dare to appear in front of his grandmother, and what made him even more afraid was that if one day the news that he was caught by the police was seen by his grandmother, his grandmother might show disappointment and sadness.
A female doctor, Zhang Guiqing, appeared in the hospital as the only contact person for her grandmother, who had an abdominal tumor and needed surgery, and Chen Guilin was also sitting next to her waiting for news. It's just that his grandmother is old, and she finally failed to carry the operation, and Chen Guilin, who was in tears, was extremely sad, but he said that since then, he has no worries, so he must do a big job and let everyone know him.
Zhang Guiqing has had stage 4 lung cancer at this time, and she has been helping her brothers on the road to pull out bullets and stitch knife wounds all these years, she knows that this is her karma, so she really wants to accumulate more yin virtue for herself at this time. She thought her chest X-ray was Chen Guilin's, and lied to him that since she didn't have long to live, she might as well turn herself in.
Chen Guilin refused on his lips, but in his heart he hoped to be affirmed by the gods, so he threw the Holy Grail to Master Guan, and after getting the revelation, he decided to go to the police station to surrender. It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't even have the qualifications to turn himself in, and a bunch of people who went to turn himself in even lined up there. At this time, he saw that he was pressed under the wanted warrant four years ago, and he was ranked third, and the top two were Lin Lu and Aberdeen. So, Chen Guilin, who wanted to become famous, had his own preliminary plan.
Eliminate harm for the people and kill Aberdeen
In order to inquire about Aberdeen's whereabouts, Chen Guilin even pretended to kidnap Zhang Guiqing's son. It turned out that Aberdeen, who was known as the most headache for the police, once fought with the police in the alley and used up all the bullets. The last time, Aberdeen was shot in the head, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he was actually carried to Dr. Zhang's clinic for simple first aid, but Dr. Zhang didn't dare to pull out the bullet, so Aberdeen fell into a headache, and every month he would send someone to the pharmacy to get painkillers.
And the person who came to pick up the medicine was Cheng Xiaomei. She runs a small hair salon, ostensibly helping people cut their hair and trim their faces, but secretly she is actually the sexual outlet object of Aberdeen. Aberdeen is vicious and bold, and his temper is uncertain, and the little brother accidentally makes him unhappy, which almost ends up in exchange for a catastrophe, while Xiaomei often acts as a fire extinguisher for his emotions.
But Xiaomei is not voluntary, she endures all this obediently, and the life of no respect makes her eyes lifeless. And all of this was seen by Chen Guilin, who was secretly observing from the opposite side.
But there is a saying, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you. Chen Guilin pretended to go to the hair salon to trim his face, but was recognized at a glance by Aberdeen, who pushed the door in.
Seeing this paragraph of Aberdeen, have you found that the "little self" of many criminals is very strong, and this strength actually comes from a strong inferiority complex in their hearts, because they do not have the ability to compete fairly with others under the same rules, so they use the method of killing and plundering by force, as long as others are slightly disobedient, they will be furious, and they must make you live and die before they can stop. And this kind of extremely individual-centered viciousness, under the strong wrapping of "heroism", has become their capital to show off, in order to cover up and whitewash their original inferiority.
So Chen Guilin decided to get rid of Aberdeen in the most primitive way, but in the process of chasing each other, he inserted a Chen gray who was looking for and tracking the case. Later, I recalled that if Chen Guilin's mission was to eliminate harm for the people, then the moment when Chen Guilin dropped his feet might be providence.
The plot here was cut at the time of release. After Chen Ash was blinded in one eye, he already hated Chen Guilin, so in this paragraph, he was actually dragging his broken feet all the way to chase Chen Guilin. But there was Aberdeen in front and Chen Ash in the back, and Chen Guilin, who was attacked on his back and back, didn't want to continue to hurt the policeman, so he handcuffed Chen Ash's hand to the barbed wire, and had a brief conversation with Chen Ash, although I don't know the content geometrically, but this should be a turning point in Chen Ash's attitude towards Chen Guilin, and the reason why Chen Guilin went to kill Lin Lu and was so smooth may also have a lot to do with Chen Ash's acquiescence.
There are no absolute good and bad people in this world, don't face human nature, but there is no need to doubt human nature.
After a fierce fight, Chen Guilin finally got rid of Aberdeen. He returned to Aberdeen's residence, took a sheet to cover his upper body**, and after his hands were tied and trembling Xiaomei, he asked her whether she would stay or leave, and Xiaomei chose to leave. So Chen Guilin drove her away from this place of right and wrong and came to the beach.
When he asked Xiaomei if she had any other relatives, Xiaomei replied that Aberdeen was her only relative. It turned out that Xiaomei's mother married Aberdeen, and later took the blame for Aberdeen and was sentenced to 15 years. Chen Guilin asked a few whys, why Xiaomei's mother did not hesitate to take the blame for him, and why Xiaomei's mother insisted that the drug was sold by herself.
Xiaomei said that because it was Aberdeen who rescued her mother from another man. Chen Guilin was silent for ......There are never absolute good people and bad people in this world, for Xiaomei's mother, being dragged out of hell is already a kind of redemption, and being willing to take the blame for him proves that the torture of that hell is far greater than the guilt. As far as Xiaomei is concerned, she became Aberdeen's lover in her teens, but she accepted the dirtiest filth at an age that should be pure. But for the sake of her mother, she had to endure all this, she was powerless to resist, and she didn't think that this was bad, maybe her life should be like this.
For many people who were killed, including the criminal policeman Chen Gray who injured his eyes, Chen Guilin is undoubtedly the worst criminal, but for Xiaomei, Chen Guilin, who rescued her and returned her freedom, is a great good person in this world. So what is really right and which is wrong, except for God, how can mortals like us spy on geometry?
Eliminate harm for the people, kill Lin Luhe.
For so many years, Lin Luhe seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared. Through a letter from Lin Lu and his mother, and her ashes, Chen Guilin found a spiritual base in Penghu.
When he went, everything seemed to be normal, and he ate with the devotees and listened to the sermons and doubts of the Venerable One. Like all other religions, His Holiness kindly healed his followers with His Word.
At this time, Chen Guilin suddenly vomited a lot of black blood, and when he woke up from the hospital, he was told by His Holiness that he had just vomited out some filth in his body that should not exist. After that, His Holiness took him to see a doctor, and the doctor said that his lungs were much better, and the chest X-ray did not look like lung cancer, so Chen Guilin, who was deeply moved, thought that he had met the savior, and he buried his gun and clothes in the soil, and decided to stay here to be a disciple of His Holiness.
His Holiness led the ** people to give Chen Guilin a simple baptism with a leather whip, and Chen Guilin repented of his past in thanking his parents of heaven and earth, and burst into tears. He was very grateful to Heaven for giving him a chance to do it all over again, so he gave His Holiness all the 1 million he had brought with him, put it in a box, and threw it into the furnace, and everything was as good as he thought.
If here, Chen Guilin really meets a true Venerable who can make him wholeheartedly good and redeem all sentient beings, then I believe that his future life will be turned upside down. If Chen Guilin lives in a peaceful and loving environment in the future, then it is unknown that he will become a great benevolent person in the future, but some people's lives are destined to be full of tragedy, he wants to be a good person, but the society will not give him a chance to start over.
The greatest evil of human nature is that he knows the cause and effect of good and evil, but he becomes the heinous perpetrator from the perspective of God.
A single mother came here with her chubby son, hoping to be redeemed by the gods, just like Chen Guilin's set of processes, the child vomited black blood after eating, His Holiness and ** were not surprised, and slowly approached the child, but the panicked Chen Guilin set aside everyone and carried the child to the hospital.
The Venerable's ** sneaked into the child's room when no one was around, and privately discussed whether there was too much medicine, and all of this was heard by Chen Guilin. Thoughtful, he went back to the center and began his own investigation with a heart full of doubts.
His Holiness once lied to Chen Guilin that Lin Luhe had died, that he was the doctor who saved him at that time, and that it was Lin who told them that such a spiritual center had been established, and that this nameless monument was the place where Lin Luhe was buried.
Chen Guilin immediately dug up the stone and saw the empty coffin, as well as Lin Lu and the ** who took a photo with his mother, yes, the man in the ** is the so-called Venerable; Then he went to the Venerable One's room, and found a secret passage, and after going down, there was a cave, a complete and luxuriously decorated room, and the boxes of their belongings that had been "burned" also fell into the room here. He finally understood.
Just when the single mother was baptized, Chen Guilin took all her belongings and told her that these people could not save her, and asked her to leave here quickly. His Holiness saw that the situation was not right, so he and everyone together pouted this mother, asked her to kill Chen Guilin with a knife, and let everyone control Chen Guilin, and put it in front of her, but the mother who was already desperate finally stabbed her neck with a knife, and the bright red blood splattered the people around her.
In fact, we can see from this paragraph that Chen Guilin's heart is very kind, he can break through everyone's opposition twice and try to save the mother and child, and this reflects his true heart. is like Liu Huanrong in the prototype, who will never kill any good person, so that when Liu was sentenced to death later, a large number of people came out to intercede for him, hoping to be extrajudicially gracious.
Some people want to change their ways, but society does not give them such a chance. Since God cannot judge the bad guys, then I am the executioner.
Some people are born crazy and have no mercy, which is vividly shown in Lin Luhe. In order to cheat the mother out of money, he even inserted a needle into the fat boy's arm and told the doctor to keep the child like this forever and not wake up.
After the single mother committed suicide, Lin Lu and his subordinates nailed Chen Guilin and her into a coffin together, buried them in the soil, and let him wait for death slowly. And when it was all over, he wiped the blood from his face and continued to sing with his followers.
When Chen Guilin struggled out of the coffin and reappeared in the spiritual hall with a gun, Lin Luhe only had a trace of surprise in his eyes, and then quickly regained his composure. Chen Guilin said, you Lin Luhe, the No. 1 wanted person, fought with ** more than 50 times and killed 6 police officers ......And Lin Luhe smiled and said, every year, many people die from this kind of natural disaster, do these people hate the sky? We just killed a few more people.
I deeply suspect that Lin Luhe is the kind of natural *** personality, so Chen Guilin said that he is really damned. Chen Guilin said that he had already thrown the Holy Grail nine times in front of Master Guan, and if his bullet was jammed nine times in a row, it was the will of heaven to let him go, and just when Lin Luhe was lucky to think that God would definitely help him, a bullet accurately pierced his eyebrows.
There is no one in this world who can escape the judgment of Providence. And this paragraph also clearly shows us the operation mode of the cult, no one can be the savior of another person, and the one who can drag himself out of the dark abyss can never be himself. So anything that suppresses, denies, makes you fall into deep negative emotions, and even blames and self-destructs, is a kind of **-style PUA. When you find that something is wrong, you must first choose to save yourself.
The next paragraph is the most touching scene in this play, and this one may have been deleted when it was released, that is, after Chen Guilin killed His Holiness, he was going to leave, but he heard the believers' singing again. He knew that these people were lost and that there was no cure, so he went back and told everyone that within a minute, those who did not leave would end up in the same fate as His Holiness.
Some people quickly ran away, and some people still stubbornly sat there, singing "hymns" indifferently, every moment when the bullet jammed, Chen Guilin would take it as God's will and signal this person to leave, and some people refused to leave until they died, then this is the will of God. Chen Guilin was like this, loaded, loaded, and unhurried, killing all the people above the temple one by one.
Human nature is very complicated, and the terrible thing about cults is that you are already in hell, but you don't know it, you are an executioner who abuses others, but you think that you are the God who saves the world, and this kind of human tragedy that reverses black and white and distorts the truth and falsehood is repeated every day.
You all have to remember that my name is Chen Guilin!
Chen Guilin finally got rid of the No. 1 and No. 2 wanted characters, so that he could become famous as he wanted. He took a strange girl's mobile phone on the boat and dialed Chen Ash's **, and when he got off the boat, he was waiting for many police cars and the most familiar stranger, Chen Ash.
After seeing Chen Guilin's feat, Chen Gray, a policeman who punished evil and promoted good, suddenly felt that he could no longer evaluate this kid with the world. He did not hold a grudge against being blinded, but did his best to give Chen Guilin all kinds of conveniences in prison. Therefore, the conversation between Chen Ash and Chen Guilin in the middle is actually very important, otherwise the sudden change in Chen Ash's attitude here will seem a little abrupt to the audience.
After Xiaomei saw the news, she came to the prison and wanted to give Chen Guilin one last facecut. When the foam was all over his face and the razor walked gently on his face, Chen Guilin couldn't stop his emotions, tears kept flowing down, and Xiaomei gently wiped away every tear that fell for him.
Many people are puzzled here, since he took the initiative to eliminate the harm, since he took the initiative to surrender, he had already foreseen the outcome, and Chen Guilin, who had been smiling and relaxed since he entered prison, why did he burst into tears when Xiaomei shaved his face.
If Chen Guilin was just a nobody before, then what he wanted most was to be famous. He once said that what he couldn't bear more than being punished was being forgotten by others, so when the TV station reported the news about him every day, his heart was very excited, and he did something to eliminate harm for the people with his noble plot of chivalry and righteousness, even if it cost his life, he was proud of his heroic feat.
It's just that his fame is still gained by illegal means that violate the law. If you can walk in the sun generously and get all the wealth, status, and life you want, I believe that no one will choose to gallop in the dark, live a life of hiding **, and restless all day long, so when Xiaomei appeared and let him be executed with a clean face, it was the last respect for his soul.
For a person who has been sentenced to death and doesn't care about anything anymore, being able to let him die standing up, can give his soul a fertile soil, and can give him enough respect is his last dignity and self-esteem as a human being.
That's why Chen Guilin was so moved, and gave Xiaomei the watch left by his most beloved grandmother, and Xiaomei also used Chen Guilin's clothes that had been patched up, one to give new life, the other to give hope, their encounter is more about the mutual redemption of souls.
Because when we leave this world, we can only take with us our lonely souls, complete or broken.
By the way, Ruan Jingtian's performance in this drama is remarkable, the changes in his eyes are very expressive, and as a post-80s generation who has passed the age of 40, his appearance is still resistant, from the previous idol drama to the current action movie, Ruan Jingtian has also worked hard to step by step towards the ranks of the powerful faction.
The whole film is really full of emotion, it is a rare good film in recent years, and it is worth watching!
