It is no exaggeration to say that "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" is a restricted movie (it is not recommended to bring underage children**). Wild SM, bloody headshot, unbearable to look at. Many people wonder, how did such a film of pornography pass the review?
For the audience, this is a fake "cool" film, tense and exciting, and it is blood-pumping to watch. The main viewing experience they shared on social ** is "It's so cool!" ”
Since the release of this Taiwanese film in the mainland, the box office and word-of-mouth have soared, and many friends around me have entered the theater for a "large scale". However, such an excellent film, if you only see "Yellow Storm" and do not think about the profound humanity behind it, this movie will be in vain.
"Removing the Three Evils Everywhere" subverts the routine of the previous gangster vendetta films, there is no grievance, no revenge, through large-scale killing, behind it is the exploration of good and evil, greed, hatred and ignorance, and the way of heaven.
"Eliminate the three evils everywhere" was originally a traditional story: the evil young man ran rampant in the countryside, and the Nanshan tiger and the long bridge dragon were ranked with the three evils, and suddenly one day they woke up to eliminate the three evils for the villagers. He killed the tiger and slayed the dragon, reformed himself, and achieved a good story.
Director Huang Jingfu borrowed this allusion to interpret a modern version of "Eliminating the Three Evils Around the World".
The male protagonist Chen Guilin (played by Ruan Jingtian) is a murderer who is in the gang, he ranks third in the list of wanted criminals, after the death of his only relative grandmother, and after learning that he was terminally ill and only had three months to live, the male protagonist suddenly decided to play big, and killed the first big brother "Niu Tou" and the second big brother "Aberdeen" in front of him (the male protagonist's idea of fighting for the first place is a bit nonsensical), and finally surrendered to the police station.
The characters that impressed me the most in the film are the male protagonist Chen Guilin and the eldest brother who incarnates the "Venerable": Chen Guilin tramples on all the rules and always pursues himself in disorientation, while the "Venerable" tries to control the believers and make them give up their egos and become the walking dead.
The English title of the film is "The Pig, the Snake, and the Pigeon", which literally translates as "pig, snake, pigeon", and these three animals correspond to the root of evil in Buddhism, "greed", "hatred", and "ignorance". And "greed", "anger", and "stupidity" constitute the dark line of the film.
Ruan Jingtian, a handsome guy who is used to acting in idol dramas, has changed his image in this movie, he has messy hair and a scruffy beard, which is both decadent and fierce. The male protagonist Chen Guilin played by him is a contradiction, he is both cold and soft in his heart. He has no mercy when he wantonly kills numb cult believers, and when he faces the weak woman Xiaomei, he shows tenderness.
Chen Guilin is not a good bird, he is mixed in the underworld and kills people like hemp. He lives a purposeless life, always muddy, and even kills the first and second big brothers because he wants to be famous, not out of justice. He was ignorant and easily accepted by the cult **, and once joined the cult organization.
But Chen Guilin has his own bottom line and morality, he has a simple sense of justice, never bullies others, but is full of sympathy for the weak, and he spares no effort to help Xiaomei. Chen Guilin has a deep affection for his relatives, and wears the pink pig watch (corresponding to the pig) left by his grandmother with him, revealing a sense of innocence in his madness, and deduces the state of "idiot" very well.
The snake tattoo on the arm of "Aberdeen", which is ranked second, is particularly dazzling, and the snake represents "anger", resentment, anger, and mania.
Aberdeen "drug trafficking, murder, ** do all kinds of evil." He asked Xiaomei's mother to go to prison for him, but turned her daughter into a plaything for him to vent his ** sexual desire. This scumbag is possessive, perverse, and violent, and when he teases Xiaomei, his younger brother laughs, and he smashes the other party angrily with a beer bottle; He suspected that the male protagonist coveted Xiaomei, so he took a razor and scratched Chen Guilin's face.
The eldest brother "Bull Head" is incarnated as "Venerable", and his tattoo is a pigeon, which represents greed. On the surface, he advocates spirituality, preaches abandoning worldly life and feeling spiritual freedom, but in fact, he uses mind control methods to anesthetize believers and plunder their wealth. And for beautiful female believers, he will covet their beauty. Money, beauty, none of them can be missing, how can a greedy word be obtained.
His Holiness "** is undoubtedly successful, and there are constantly people around him who are falling, and these believers are still not awakened, and their numbness is both pathetic and hateful.
His Holiness "has a strong practical significance, saying one thing, doing another, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and having a belly full of men and women prostitutes, such people are widely present in society." At present, among those leaders who engage in cults, pyramid schemes, and wire fraud, which one is not a "Venerable One"?
The world is not as simple as it seems. Those who seem evil may have good intentions, those who are outwardly merciful may be dirty on the inside, and those who like to proclaim their unselfishness may be the most greedy.
The male protagonist has no fetters and no weakness, so he is fearless. He can trample on all rules, counter violence with violence, and practice the way of his heart - justice and kindness with killing. And the reason why the cool drama is "cool" may be that the male protagonist fights open-hanging, igniting the little bit of blood in the audience's heart.
