At the beginning of the film, there is an animated film called "Invincible Clown Monster", which almost makes me think it is an animal world related to animated films. Then, the hero's sentence "I am mentally ill" successfully aroused my interest.
"Really, my brain is really sick, not the kind of disease that can be cured by surgery. This disease cannot be cured at all. " Arouse readers' interest and set suspense.
Next, the film shows the protagonist Zheng's mental illness: as long as the mood fluctuates, the person in front of him will become a monster and attack himself. It seems to confirm Zheng's "mental illness", and it also emphasizes that people should remember one thing: he is a sick person.
Some people say that the beginning of the film feels a bit meaningless; Others say that this special effect bridge is too deliberate, and there is no need to show whether it is sick. Many people think that this kind of film preparation took nearly 30 minutes, which seems to be very tedious. I don't agree.
The main plot of the film tells the story of a card game of scissors, stone and paper that reflects human nature.
We are familiar with the game "scissors, stone and paper" (the rules of the game have been described in the last article, so I won't repeat them here). A simple game, played in the "animal world", became a deadly game. If you are not careful, you will be dragged to do human experiments, and life is worse than death.
In the game, three people cheated and betrayed the male host Zheng more than once. After being cheated for the first time, Zheng still chose to believe, so he was cheated six times.
First of all, his youngest son, Li Jun, lost all his property when he went to Macau for group construction. He owed a lot of debts and couldn't pay them back, so he cheated Zheng's parents' house as collateral, dragged Zheng into the water and asked him to repay the millions he owed.
In order to pay off the loan, they all took part in the game on the ferry. When they met, although Zheng Kaisi hated Li Jun for dragging him into this hellhole, he chose to forgive him and work together to win the game and get off the boat safely.
Li Jun's second deception came to an end, and Zheng was reborn with his life, waiting to be redeemed from the dark room, but betrayed Zheng for money. So many years of brotherhood is not worth a bag of money.
The second person is Zhang Jingkun. He suggested that even if two people play the same card, it is a draw. After playing the card, there will be three stars, so that the loan can be repaid and the ship can be safely disembarked.
Zheng Xin thought it was true. The two arranged the cards in the order of scissors, stone and cloth. When the scissors were handed out, Jing Kun Zhang replaced the card with a stone, saying that he had made a mistake by accident, and promised: once again, you give the stone and I will give the scissors to let you win it back.
Zheng still chose to believe. He gave Zhang a stone, but Jing Kun did not give scissors, but gave cloth. Zheng was cheated twice like this.
The third person is Meng Guoxiang (Meng). It turned out that Zheng He found Meng, who had no cards in his hand, in order to form an alliance. Meng is right, but Zheng actually stole the card. That's Zheng's card with only one piece of cloth left (according to the plot of the movie, as for the actual irrationality, the last article has pointed out). After Meng lost in stealing cards, he begged Zheng for mercy, saying that he had a daughter and a mother with cataract at home, which was very pitiful. Zheng chose to forgive him and still got away together.
The second time, when Zheng was imprisoned in the little black room, Meng Chong, who kept saying that he wanted to trust each other and give his life to Zheng, rushed over and took away three stars in his hand, taking away Zheng's chance to survive and persuading him to betray his brother together.
Therefore, we usually have a saying: Don't cheat people around you, because those who can be cheated by you are those who trust you.
From the repeated betrayals of the three men, we can see their ugly faces of treachery and selfish interests. Who the hell is sick? Yes, in this world, they are sick.
Zheng Tairong trusts others easily, because he believes that people are kind, and those people are forced to do so only because of reality. He chose forgiveness and tolerance because he believed that they could all turn over a new leaf. But they challenged the bottom line of the kind Zheng again and again.
Being cheated, usually we get angry, and so does the man. Everyone in front of him became a monster. He recalled what everyone had said to him, as shown:
?
?
In fact, he also has a faster way to win, and there are shortcuts to victory. When Zhang Jingkun exchanged a star for five cards for Zheng, Zheng didn't change them. If he changes, gets three stars and gives all the cards to two companions, he is out of danger.
But he didn't do it. Finally, he also chose to be a clown with a bottom line for human nature-no matter how mediocre, difficult and down-and-out, he kept himself and stuck to his bottom line:
"The battle, I have already played. I have run to the end of the road. I believe, and I will keep it myself. "
"I'd rather be a clown all my life than a scum like you. The game is yours, but I make the rules myself. Fuck the animal world, I don't believe this. "
In the film, the line "I have always maintained the way I believe" from the comic book "The Invincible Clown Monster" echoed from beginning to end.
Looking back at the beginning of the film, I mentioned Zheng's emphasis: it is very important for you to remember that I am mentally ill. This is not just to set suspense and promote special effects. If you understand the theme expressed in the film, you can know the meaning and deepen the theme.
In terms of the Chinese knowledge we have learned, it is to form a sharp contrast and highlight the image of the protagonist. Zheng, who is mentally ill, is in sharp contrast with ordinary people who are not sick. He is a patient who knows the bottom line better than ordinary people, sticks to good humanity and morality in his heart, creates an extraordinary image of civilians for us and deepens the theme of "sticking to the bottom line in poverty". From this point of view, the content and structure of the film are still very reasonable.
There is no smoke without fire. This film is only dedicated to you who keep yourself in good times and bad times.
Good movies and books have been guiding me and enriching my experience. Please scan me.
