In 2024, Taiwan's latest crime-themed movie "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" is definitely a good film delayed by the name, this film is directed by Huang Jingfu and starring Ruan Jingtian, avoiding the most competitive Spring Festival file, and choosing to release it on March 1 is definitely a wise choice. At present, the film has a score of 8 on Douban3 points, and there is a trend of continued growth, and the current box office is about to break 100 million!
Movie name source
When I saw the name of this movie for the first time, I was really surprised, the name "Removing the Three Evils of the Week" made many viewers have no desire to see it at a glance, the name of the film quotes the allusion of "Removing the Three Evils of the Week", the allusion comes from the "Book of Jin, the Biography of Zhou" and "The World Speaks New Language", and was later adapted by Huang Boyu of the Ming Dynasty into the legend of "The Legend of the Tiger", which is widely circulated among the people, and there is also a repertoire of "Removing the Three Evils" in Peking Opera.
The original text of the story of eliminating the three evils everywhere
The original text of the story of Zhou is probably like this, in the Jin Dynasty, there was a gentleman named Zhou, his father and ancestors were **, his father died at a very young age, so his mother doted on him very much, and the young Zhou was burly, physically strong, and strong in martial arts. Relying on his own background and martial arts to run rampant in the township, he was called the "three evils" of Yangxian City by the local villagers, the Nanshan Tiger and the Xijiu Jiaolong. Later, when he heard this statement, he suddenly woke up, and killed the Nanshan Tiger and the Xijiu Jiaolong by himself, and since then he has changed his evil and returned to the right, so that the "three evils" of Xiancheng are eliminated. Since then, he has been angry and strong, and the official has reached General Jianwei, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of Filial Piety.
Chen Guilin's archetypal characters are even better
In the film, Chen Guilin is an underworld killer, and it is not specifically said which gang he belongs to in Taiwan, and his fame mainly comes from his boldness and achievements! In reality, there is really such a character in Taiwan, that is to say, Chen Guilin has a prototype, this person is called the "big guy killer" by Taiwan, and is also officially called the "top ten ** criminals", this person is called Liu Huanrong!
Liu Huanrong was born in an ordinary small mountain village in Taichung City, his family conditions are very poor, he makes a living by selling fruits at a stall, but he is often bullied by hooligans, and his life is very difficult.
In the 80s, Taiwan was known as one of the four Asian tigers, and while the economy took off, the underworld forces also ushered in the spring. Liu Huanrong was listed as one of the top ten major criminals by Taiwan officials, Liu Huanrong's name can be said to be a household name in Taiwan, because of his ruthless style, he has killed gang bosses many times in a row, and he has the nickname of "big guy killer" on the road, he was wanted by Taiwan officials in the background, fled to the Philippines, and committed a major case and fled to Japan to sell drugs and was arrested, in March 1986, Liu Huanrong was escorted back to Taiwan from Japan for trial, and Liu Huanrong was sentenced to death in March 1993.
Although the person is dead, but Liu Huanrong's reputation is very good, one is because most of the people he killed are underworld figures, and he is also particularly righteous, and during his imprisonment, he initiated donations to the poor in the name of "Anonymous", and he sincerely repented after **, during which there were many lawyers and public opinion representatives who passed the word, hoping that the hospital could snatch and keep people, and give them a chance to reform themselves. After his death, he also donated his organs.
In the face of such an underworld character, he really can't raise his hatred, and he really responds to the sentence "Every righteous slaughter of dogs, the negative heart is mostly a reader"!
The terminally ill killer wants to be famous
In fact, the plot of this movie is very simple, a killer learned that he had an incurable disease, and suddenly repented and wanted to do something for the society, and thought of one of the few allusions he knew, "Everywhere to remove the three evils", he wanted to do Around. One is to atone for one's own sins, and the other is to make one's name. It's not terrible to die, it's even more terrible when no one remembers you after you die.
That being said, how many people are really not afraid of death? So when he met the "Venerable" who said that he could save himself, he decisively gave up his previous obsession and became a believer instead of doing things, believing that he was saved! Until he accidentally discovered that the so-called "Venerable" was just **, and they didn't even bother to change their routines, and they were going to kill people when things were revealed.
Even he was almost buried alive, and after escaping death, he shot and killed all the "obsessive" people in the meditation academy, and then he chose to turn himself in! After going to the prison for a physical examination, I found that I had never had a terminal illness!
From a wanted criminal to a spiritual venerable
Compared with the protagonist Chen Guilin, the most wanted criminal Lin Luhe is the best, from a wanted criminal to a spiritual mentor, and has a large number of loyal believers, Lin Luhe has also become a gentle and elegant "Venerable", admired by believers, obedient to his words, and even sacrificed his life, the killer is not a grade compared to this ** Venerable, so even Chen Guilin has become a believer of the Venerable, and is willing to give everything he has.
But what is the nature of His Holiness? According to his own words, he should have been seriously injured and fled to this remote village, and when he was dying, he gained another insight and gave him a new understanding of his life. So he teamed up with some local idle people and the village doctor to start a partnership to deceive, giving up his original identity, who would have thought that such a "Venerable" would be a wanted criminal?
Guided by spiritual meditation, attracting outsiders, these people may have passed by by accident, or they may have heard rumors of the arrival, or they may have been deceived by the news that was deliberately spread, and after they came, they first listened to the lectures, and then let them eat the drugged meal, and then began to deceive, saying that you were not sick, and then curing you, and many people have become pure believers in this way, and they firmly believe in it.
Life is worthless in the face of faith
This is the charm of religion, and many people are willing to give everything for their beliefs, both wealth and life. If this power is used to make people good, then of course it is a good thing, and if this power is used to demagogue, it is a disaster. In the movie, after Chen Guilin did not die, he went to the meditation monastery to kill people alone, and the attitude of those believers was unwavering, they were not afraid of guns and death, and they continued to sing, and their emotions were not affected at all, which was simply terrifying!
So a ridiculous scene appeared, Chen Guilin was killing people one by one, and the people he killed did whatever they wanted, did not run, did not panic, the scene was not ordinary weird, people fell one by one, although there were also people who escaped, but more people chose to stay, a** made up a lie for them, ** they didn't believe it but they all believed it, and it was ridiculous, but it happened, and finally Chen Guilin killed all these obsessed people, I also inexplicably feel that he killed the right one.
What is the difference between the full version and the abridged version?
First of all, this movie is called the worst movie in Taiwanese film history in Taiwan, some people say that this is the highest score in crime action Chinese movies in the past 11 years, this should not be a lie, there are too many connotations and insinuations in the movie, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is bloody, and it is not a movie with completely positive values, so I am really surprised that this film can be released in mainland theaters.
The uncut version has a total of 2 hours and 14 minutes, no matter which version you watch, as long as it is less than this time, it is a deleted version, in fact, the deleted content is not too much, deleted "** lines, corresponding special logos, these actually don't matter to the audience, there are two places that have been deleted about the plot screen, one is the special shot of Aberdeen and the adopted daughter, and there is the scene of Chen Guilin's killing in the meditation hall at the end, the public version is not so bloody.
Overall rating
If you want to go to the cinema to watch a movie this month, then this movie is a good choice, it is completely different from "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life", the whole film has almost no urine spots, don't be misled by the name of the movie, "Everywhere Except for the Three Evils" is really a good movie! This movie tells us that killing people is not the most terrible, and that after the most terrible killing, you can still feel at ease as if nothing happened!
