"Removing the Three Evils in the Week" is most evaluated because the scale is large enough, and some people pour cold water and say that "Removing the Three Evils in the Week" is "a cool article with male frequency", which is actually quite right. Because when I came out of the theater by myself, I couldn't help but sigh "It's cool"!
The feeling of the picture and the story gives birth to the most straightforward coolness
The film opens with a very exciting police and bandit chase scene, Chen Guilin shot and killed people and fled, looking at the police lurking in the shadows at the door, making a crazy and pleasant laugh, Chen Guilin and the criminal policeman Chen Ash chased and fought for more than ten minutes, and finally ended with Chen Guilin using an incense burner to blind Chen Gray's eyes and escape, which also laid the tragic life of Chen Guilin's "tiger head boy" hiding in the east.
Scale has always been one of the hot topics since the release of "Removing the Three Evils in the Week", some people shouted "I can't believe that this is a scale that can be seen on the big screen of today's theaters", and some people say "I don't see any large-scale plots", I think the reason why there are such different ideas is because the "large-scale" shots in it are well integrated with the story, not for the purpose of large-scale and bloody violence.
Whether it is assassination, hand-to-hand combat, confrontation, gunfight, headshot, or even in the cult, the scale and atmosphere are gradual. The impact of the picture that the audience can see is also enhanced a little bit.
There are several scenes where it is not difficult to see that Huang Jingfu paid tribute to the criminal Quentin, such as Chen Guilin who escaped from the coffin after being buried alive, and the husband in the big ** should not be opened. But these designs ultimately serve the storyline, and the story ultimately serves the core of the story. Clever arrangement and proper design make these large-scale shots not just gimmicks, not just highlights.
Director Huang Jingfu was born in Hong Kong films, and compared with last year's Hong Kong film "Breaking Point", which also focused on "coolness", directed by Lin Chaoxian and starring Zhang Jiahui and William Chan, it can be described as star-studded. But the word-of-mouth after the release is not so glamorous, Lin Chaoxian, as a major mountain among Hong Kong directors in recent years, has a good reputation and commercial value whether it is a pure Hong Kong film he directed before or a later co-production.
The reason why "Explosive Point" overturned was not because the filming was not up to par and the action scenes were not exciting enough, but because it did not tell a story clearly, inserted too many irrelevant branches, and did not come back by the end. On the other hand, Chen Guilin, the male protagonist of "Removing the Three Evils Everywhere", has a clear goal from the beginning, countering violence with violence, and the final ending is a happy ending, which is a hearty and refreshing drama pattern.
In the gap between the dark and the light, Chen Guilin was born
Chen Guilin is a very complex character. He is very reckless, very bold, when he was young, he was fearless in debt and murder, and lived a life licking blood on the underworld, he was a blade of the boss and a reckless man. In "Eliminating the Three Evils in the Mountains", Chen Guilin's journey from an ignorant gangster to knowing good and evil and knowing the meaning of life is clearly shown. He himself went to death in this realization, completing the complete redemption of his own life.
Chen Guilin was ignorant when he killed people four years ago, he would hide his own things because he didn't let his grandmother worry, and he would be complacent because he played the police after shooting and killing, he was like a naughty boy who was untaught, knowing the right and wrong of ignorance, but he still couldn't change his inferiority. After losing his grandmother, Chen Guilin was resentful when he knew that he was terminally ill, he didn't want his life to end here, he wanted his name to be remembered by everyone.
Chen Guilin was passionate when he killed Aberdeen to save Xiaomei, and he felt that he was famous and would eventually be remembered by the world. But after the cult ended Lin Luhe, Chen Guilin finally understood the meaning of his life. He was reckless and ignorant all his life, confused, and couldn't see his grandmother openly even after making millions of dollars, and he had made countless people die, but he himself never understood the meaning of life.
What really made him complete the transformation was Lin Luhe's greed, which was a **, huge, unspeakable huge net of greed, all the people in it were sent by Lin Luhe, and the believers were endless, and the evil thoughts were endless. The Divine Venerable is white and noble in front of people, purifying all living beings, and after people repairing huge mansions, sitting on the lifelong wealth of the devotees, laughing at their ignorance, incompetence and stupidity. Xiaopang aroused Chen Guilin's kindness, and also made him see the true face of His Holiness, so he went on a killing spree, cut down the grass and eradicated the roots, and finally surrendered himself to die with honor.
The aftertaste is still delicious enough, and the aftertaste is also "cool".
A good action movie must have rhythmic action scenes, fierce battle scenes, and an interpretation of the aesthetics of violence under reasonable scene scheduling, such scenes can bring you the most straightforward coolness. It is also necessary to have a clear and unambiguous story foundation that punishes evil and promotes good, with a reasonable ending, which is the refreshing feeling in the narrative and watching the movie.
Finally, when you walk out of the theater and think back to the details of the picture in the movie, you can still find many metaphors that you didn't notice at the time. "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" satisfies the above three points.
is a simple underworld violent drama, maybe the main line is just to eliminate violence and peace, and it is not so exciting to watch. However, Huang Jingfu added a lot of Buddhist and Taoist culture to it, and allusions to "The World Speaks New Language", which makes the story more layered and textured.
The three evils correspond to the three evil thoughts in Buddhism, "greed, hatred, and idiocy", and "greed and hatred" correspond to Lin Luhe, Aberdeen, and Chen Guilin. At the end of the film, all three are dead, and all three evils are eliminated. Walking out of the theater, we are also facing these three ** all the time in life. On the night when Chen Guilin learned that he was terminally ill, he asked Emperor Guan Sheng if he wanted to turn himself in, and Emperor Guan Sheng gave him nine chalices, usually throwing cups and asking to throw them three times, he threw nine holy grails that night, and agreed nine times, so in addition to himself, he also took the other two.
When he was in the cult, the nine bullets in his gun were also nine chances for Lin Luhe. Here is a very detailed combination of Taiwan's social situation, in Taiwan's underworld forces are rampant, the black gun industry is also very developed, these black guns maintenance conditions are uneven, the same bullet storage conditions are also relatively limited, there are often jammed situations.
Many people say that Xiaomei's story line is the most uninteresting part of the film, but I think it is the portrayal of Xiaomei's line that makes Chen Guilin's character image more three-dimensional, and the final prodigal son is more moving. The staircase leading to the second floor of the barbershop is the space where he was placed under house arrest and was **. The general staircase will only be equipped with a half-height railing as a block, but the guardrails here lead to the ceiling, like a cage, if there is no Chen Guilin, the barbershop will be a cage that Xiaomei will not be able to escape for the rest of her life.
Xiaomei's actor Wang Jing herself has many tattoos on her body, but the director only shows one, on Xiaomei's right back, which means "soul" in Outer Mongolian. The only and most peaceful plot in the whole film is that Chen Guilin rescues Xiaomei, two down-and-out young people tell each other heartfelt and ask each other "why", they both hope to find their own place in this absurd and painful life, the waves sweep away the answer to "why", and the two people also embark on different paths.
After Xiaomei was rescued, she said that the name of killing Aberdeen was Chen Guilin, she did not follow her mother's back path, fell in love with the man who saved her from fire and water, Chen Guilin gave Xiaomei the watch left by his grandmother, and also gave Xiaomei his only concern in this world, the only kindness, and the two are not shallow love, but two souls who redeem each other.
When infiltrating the cult, Chen Guilin himself almost became their bag, and the hymn sounded many times in the film, which greeted each new believer, and finally turned into a sad song before their death. In the big **, all believers are devout to die, representing the belief in the Lord as if they were dead, and also representing their immortality, and the Lord will always come back. After the lord and his wife were both shot in the head, the picture pays tribute to the world-famous painting "Adam and Eve", and the lord's wife was pregnant at the time, one corpse and two lives, and the descendants of the cult have died, which can be regarded as a complete **.
"Everywhere Eliminate the Three Evils" actually integrates a lot of elements, police and bandits, action, suspense, comedy, I can also find a wisp of ancient Chinese chivalry in the male protagonist Chen Guilin, Chen Guilin is also in the process of wandering the rivers and lakes, found the meaning of his life, from the beginning of the astray, hiding in the east, to the last cult **, surrendered to death, he found the meaning of his life on such a road, and finally punished the evil and promoted the good, the prodigal son turned back, and the prodigal son turned back to the best salvation for himself, is to accept the judgment of society, Sentenced himself to death.
If it was Chen Guilin at the beginning, he would not be so calm in the face of the concealment and deception of the female doctor, the beginning and end of the story, and the attitude towards the female doctor are also the best testimony of Chen Guilin's growth.
