After watching "Removing the Three Evils Around the World", I told my friends that this film would explode. Because its worldview is actually very classical, simple and simple, like the ancient vernacular**, if the story is simply summarized, it is actually eight words, "Countering violence with violence, eliminating evil".
The movie has taken this to the extreme, so it is a rare cool film in our cinema movies over the years.
And it is a story that even the working people at the bottom of society can easily understand, without the slightest threshold. The story is also clearly told.
There is also no gray area in its values, and it has deep roots in the broad roots of Chinese folk culture.
The mass base of this kind of story is purely natural, broad and deep-rooted. For example, the gangster films of the old Hong Kong films, as well as the Crazy Boy series, actually abided by the public order and good customs in the hearts of the people, and did not challenge the people's worldview.
So its core is actually very Chinese, but as long as it is Chinese, there is nothing he cannot understand.
In addition to this, there is another important point. This movie is particularly perfect to interpret an ancient prophecy left by our ancestors: "The wicked still need the wicked to grind".
Some friends said that Chen Guilin in the movie is a righteous hero. I don't quite agree, I think he was a villain from the beginning to the end.
He's a very violent maniac himself, he's a guy who gets the pleasure of killing, and that hasn't changed from beginning to end.
And he is the more evil, powerful, and challenging the other party, the more he feels and feels good when he kills. So his later big **, he was really cool himself.
Of course he won't kill Xiaomei, that's unnecessary and boring for him. His opponents are all very powerful men, very good policemen, and the big brother of the first and second lists.
Xiaomei doesn't need to say it, it is a girl who has made him feel a trace of tenderness in the world in addition to his grandmother.
Let's just say that these followers of the cult didn't want to kill them at first, because the defenseless lamb is not challenging, and it is not interesting to kill. But why did he hear them singing and go back?
Thinking back to why he went to the first list, the eldest brother of the second list understood. He wants to leave his story in the world, and he wants the world to remember his name.
They were his witnesses, who had left these people alive.
But he was a very animalistic person, and when he heard the singing voices of these people, he immediately knew intuitively that these people would not tell the world the story of Chen Guilin, as he thought. But they will portray the master as a martyr.
So he simply went back and killed them one by one.
In fact, it includes him rescuing Xiaomei, leaving the car to him, and telling him her name. He always left an eyewitness, a person to tell his story.
So some people say that the character of Chen Guilin is a hero, righteous and kind. I don't think so. I think this crazy man is crazy from beginning to end.
In a way, he was a wicked man until he died.
A wicked person cannot become a good person just because he kills other wicked people. Neither is Chen Guilin. Because kindness always comes with cowardice and hesitation. A lot of self-doubt.
But no matter how good a person in human civilization has a sense of justice, he can't do the kind of thing he did in the end.
So it's better to admit that sometimes we just like the wicked, and we like the wicked because we are too good. I'm really not putting gold on our own faces, this kindness is also domesticated by society.
Therefore, good people are often evil people, but there is nothing they can do, they often feel that they are holding their breath and living a suffocating life, and then they are very cowardly.
And we Chinese have always been educated in traditional Confucian culture, you have been taught to be a kind person since you were a child, you are surrounded by kind people, the way of kind people, in the end is patience, or adjust your mentality, the whole world tells you not to care about him, don't pay attention to him, don't mind, mind you will lose.
Those wicked people, when they have done all the bad deeds, there is nothing they dare not do. But we are very cowardly, that is, we have a lot of concerns, but we don't dare.
So sometimes, you see the wicked people who hurt you end up being cured by the worse ones. For example, the person who attacked you on Weibo was scolded by a more vicious person, although the vicious person, you don't think he is a good person, but your heart will be dark.
"Eliminate the Three Evils Everywhere" is to make you frank and refreshing.
There is no need to interpret and understand Chen Guilin as a good person. We just like the wicked sometimes. Even fantasizing that you are a wicked person and can't do it, it's cool to imagine it.
Movies are the factories of dreams, and the dreams of the wicked are also dreams.
