The recent popularity of the movie "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" is really unexpected, probably because the mainland friends have not seen a movie with such an explosive scale on the big screen for many years.
However, I found that although there are many people who watch "Removing the Three Seas Around the World", they are completely wrong about the correspondence between the "Removal of the Three Evils Around the Week" in "The New Language of the World" and the moral of this movie.
Chen Guilin himself said:
Zhou killed two people, so everyone knew about him.
I can only say that Chen Guilin is uneducated and dies quickly.
Some people say: Guiqing is the one who eliminates the three evils, because of her opening, the eldest brother from the first to the third on the list of Taiwan's most wanted criminals is dead.
regarded Guiqing as a chivalrous warrior, but still didn't understand this story.
The correspondence between "The New Language of the World" and the movie is very subtle, and the director combines the absurdity of the original book and reality very cleverly, which is particularly interesting.
I have picked out a few key sentences to give you a one-to-one correspondence:
"When Zhou was young, he was fierce and chivalrous, and he suffered from the township".In "The World Speaks New Language", Zhou is an old boy when he appears, which is the same as Chen Guilin.
Everyone is a brave and ruthless master, killing people without blinking, and ordinary people are not all the way.
The director used the first funeral murder and the fight with the police to explain Chen Guilin's ruthlessness and bravery.
Four years later, he was ranked third on the list of most wanted criminals in Taiwan.
"Or to say that the tiger is killed everywhere, and only one of the three horizontal wings remains."What is said in "The New Language of the World" is:
Some people, that is, the villagers, persuaded the surrounding to kill the tiger and kill the dragon, in fact, they hoped that the three would fight each other, and it was best that only one of them would be left alive, so that the three evils would be left and one harm, and the people would have a better life.
And in the movie "Removing the Three Evils Around the World", this folk, who was omitted by classical Chinese, was given a specific identity:
Underworld doctor Guiqing.
The villagers hoped that Zhou was hanging, so they tricked him into killing Jiao and killing the tiger.
Guiqing hopes that Zhou will stop doing bad things, lied to him that he had cancer, and tricked him to turn himself in.
It's all out of the hope that he won't dangle around in the world, and they all hope that he will leave the life of ordinary people.
Zhou went to turn himself in, but by mistake, he chose to kill the first and second big brothers.
This choice to kill was made by Chen Guilin himself.
Therefore, it is not Guiqing who removes the three evils, but Chen Guilin himself.
But the treatment of the movie is more absurd, because this is a fable of the present world, and the movie is full of the unique absurdity of the galactic impression at the stitching of every plot turn.
Of course, I'm not saying that the director plagiarized, but Hong Kong directors have this characteristic, which is not surprising, Galaxy Imaging is originally a representative of Hong Kong's local films. Let's learn it, there's no problem.
Even if you look at the director's previous "Jianghu", "Sister-in-law" and "Death of the Avenger" also have this sense of absurdity.
The absurdity of this "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" lies in:
What if you don't see a wanted warrant when you turn yourself in?
If the police did something, didn't this wanted criminal stick it under the pile of old papers?
What if the police were in charge of a little bit to recognize the circumference?
What if you need to register when you enter the police station?
This contingency is actually quite large.
But it happened, and it should be the inaction of the Wanwan police in the movie.
Since he is one of the three most wanted criminals in Taiwan, not to mention the masses, at least the police system itself must know it, right? Your leaflet is still on the police station.
The director used this kind of contingency to satirize the Wanwan police, and this irony is probably one of the reasons why this movie can be released in the mainland.
The Wanwan police are not as good as the Chaoyang masses.
The only difference between Chen Guilin and Zhou is the purpose of killing.
The surroundings are very simple, he is actually a straight man.
He was disgusted by the township and didn't know it, so bad and so confident.
He felt that others persuaded him to kill Jiao and Hu, which was to value his ability. I fancy him as brave and strong.
He is a hero who eradicates harm for the people.
And Chen Guilin is to leave a stench for 10,000 years.
Although he has been on the list of most wanted criminals in Taiwan.
But. He went to turn himself in, and he even had to queue up!
The police didn't even know him!
In the end, I still don't rank high enough!
This is the same as being a student, not the first, no one can remember it.
So, for the sake of his reputation, he embarked on the road of eliminating harm.
If you want to say the difference, it's the motivation.
This change is very reasonable and credible.
After all, he is the one who even worships his little brother and calls him "Guilin Tsai" to correct him to "Chen Guilin".
People who love face care about titles.
Others may be forced by life to get into the underworld.
In addition to making money, he really wants to earn a row for himself.
Simple-minded and well-developed limbs.
"The township is said to be dead, and they are even more celebrating. actually killed Jiao and came out, and everyone celebrated. I knew that I was suffering from human feelings, and I had the intention of changing myself."In "The World Speaks New Words", the villagers heard that the three evils were dead, and they sang and danced to celebrate, and the second princess also improvised a "Ice Hunting".
However, Zhou came back alive and found that the villagers were celebrating his hanging, and finally understood. There are no two evils here. It is the three evils, a good young man with five big and three coarse, who is juxtaposed with the evil of the tiger and the dragon. So he changed his ways.
To what extent did it go before the reform?
He changed his mind, studied hard, went through the Taishou, became an official in the imperial history, was honest, and was not afraid of the powerful. Awarded the general, conquered the Qiang people in the west, died on the battlefield, and eventually became a generation of loyal ministers.
Therefore, the biggest reversal of the story of eliminating the three evils is here, which is an opportunity and shadow of a long story of reform, which opens up a magnificent and singing and crying life around the world.
And what supports this reform and reversal is that the person around him needs to have a very large sense of self-esteem and a sense of morality hidden in his personality that he does not know.
That is: the essence is pure.
As the saying goes:
Nature is not bad. You can still be saved.
A person who fully believes in himself, finds that what he has done is bad, and his huge conscience makes him ashamed of himself, and after the war between heaven and man, he decides to be a really good person.
In "Eliminating the Three Evils Around the World", let Guiqing tell Chen Guilin the truth by himself, instead of hearing about it.
That moment. Chen Guilin was not excited at all, Ruan was still a little worse at this scene, and his acting skills in other places were full marks.
In fact. He already knew that he didn't have cancer, and he must have always had a reason in his heart.
This is his obsession.
This visitation scene. It's so calm.
But. He was able to accept this explanation and eventually died happily. It's still reasonable.
Because in the process of killing the first brother and helping the second brother, he felt that these two had really lost their conscience and done all the bad things, and he, in contrast, did not intend to do evil to hurt ordinary people.
Therefore, he feels that the first and second big brother on the list should die, and he should actually feel that he is eliminating harm for the people in this process.
However, he is a fool. Why is it possible to be on the list with them?
When Guiqing told the truth, he should have the same sudden realization as Zhou everywhere to fight with heaven and man.
The ending of the movie is reasonable, but the transformation here is made too hastily.
In the end, he said sorry before he died, which was actually the same as Zhou's determination to mend his ways.
The two reached an agreement across thousands of years, both wanted to be new people, and faced everything that their past selves had caused to society.
After carefully comparing "The World Speaks New Words", it is indeed worth praising the director.
