The world where no one does evil is desirable, and there are always some shortcomings in beautiful things, The Tao is born one, life is two, nature contains the two poles of yin and yang, everything is born of opposites, there is white and black, there is light and shadow, there is also good and evil, although the two opposing elements can not be integrated, but can attract each other, transform each other.
Director Feng Xiaogang directed the film "No Thief in the World" was released in 2004, as a crime action film, the tension between good and evil in the film is just right, the plot is adapted from Zhao Benfu's novel of the same name, the director has continuously enriched the character image in the original storyline of the novel, and interpreted a warm and touching story in the form of humorous and witty comedy, a unique New Year's eve film, which undoubtedly brought huge box office gains.
What kind of spark will the "silly root" farmer and the two gangs of thieves collide? It is not so much a spark as it is a collision of good and evil in human nature.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" >01 Fools have fools</h1>
The peasants are preparing to return to their hometown to build houses with hard-earned money, and a sentence of disbelief that there are thieves has attracted the attention of the two major theft gangs, and the combination of Wang Bo and Wang Li has changed from the initial attempt to steal to the loyal protector of silly roots, protecting him from the theft of another gang, and even paying for his own life.
Evil to good is the general desire of the public to see the end, everyone has a soft place in the heart, when you touch the soft point of the heart of others, this may be the best moment for him to be good, it is better to cross himself than to cross others.
Blessed people are enviable, but where does the blessing come from? If from a Buddhist point of view, in the theory of causality, after you plant a good cause, you will reap the good results of your intentions at some point in the future, and your end in meditation comes from the karma you have created in ordinary times, that is, the so-called good people have good rewards, and the evil people have bad rewards, and adhering to a good heart is the basis for reaping blessings.
In the film, Silly Root is a simple, kind and simple image, he as a native of the countryside does not understand the big city in the heart of the trick, deceitful, as the saying goes, the environment creates human character, he always believes that people are not bad wolves, I believe that everyone is kind and loving.
The light emanating from his body enveloped Wang Li, who was a mother, as if it were a bright light pointing in the right direction for the lost person.
Silly root people as its name, really stupid cute, he unconditionally believe strangers, after hearing Wang Li lie about being terminally ill, anxiously without hesitation to take out 5,000 yuan to let her treat, this stupidity successfully touched Wang Bo and Wang Li who took theft as their profession.
Perhaps the average person seems to be stupid and unfamiliar with others, there is only a train fate, there is no need to pay wholeheartedly, but there is really a kind of person in this world, with all enthusiasm and kindness to give, they with the most sincere heart to purify deception, dark criminal behavior, activate the only conscience hidden in the depths of human beings.
There are many smart people in this world, and smart people use their wisdom to protect their interests and walk freely in a complex society, but unconsciously, they have long lost the simple and kind self at that time.
Although stupid is a derogatory term, but stupid people have a simplicity that smart people do not have, such people often interact with people with their own enthusiasm, bring hope and light to others, people in the dark need light guidance, wisdom if foolish, in fact, stupid people are really wise.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >02 SMS dialogue</h1>
The language in the film can be divided into many kinds, such as voiceover, narration, etc., and the director of this film did not use these forms, but cleverly used the tool of mobile phone text message to show the audience wang bo wang li, a pair of mandarin ducks with a bitter fate.
In the process of the two people stealing, almost all of them communicate with text messages, on the one hand, they do not want silly roots to detect their plans, on the other hand, this is also the way for the two to talk to each other, always wearing a mask in front of outsiders to show people, and the real heart words can only be expressed through text messages. Sometimes, the characters' face-to-face dialogue may seem too poor and need to be filled with deeper emotions with the help of a particular medium.
After Wang Bo successfully protected silly roots with his life, there is still a text message in the mobile phone to Wang Li that has not yet been successfully sent, the content of the text message is simple but can hit people's hearts, the three words "waiting for me" are both the desire for reunion and the realization of Wang Li's promise, he used death to complete the transformation from evil to good.
The director uses the form of text messages to implicitly convey love, and then uses text messages to lightly express the parting of life and death, which is more effective than face-to-face expression.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" >03 music analysis</h1>
Music grasps the audience's sense of hearing, as one of the important factors that drive the rhythm of the film, what kind of scene with what kind of music is a science, each director has his own understanding of music, understand how to use music can raise the film to another level, making it more abundant.
Director Feng Xiaogang is good at using humor to express the truth of life, and the musical factors in the whole film are very rich, with the shots filmed, showing the audience one tear-jerking scene after another and funny clips.
A large amount of humorous and witty music is used in the film to increase the appeal of the plot, and one of the most impressive scenes is that when Wang Bo is fighting with another theft gang, the director uses brisk dance music with strong rhythmic percussion, rendering the witty and tense picture of the theft gang fighting.
At the end of the film, Wang Li lost her lover and ate alone and wept, and her heart had both guilt for Wang Bo and love for her children, and she sang the ending song "Do You Know Or Not" adapted from the Shaanxi folk song in a hoarse voice, which deeply struck the heart of every audience, such as the taste of the throat and the feeling of heart-wrenching is the overflowing sympathy for this mother.
Music can play a role in promoting the development of the plot, but also can set off the atmosphere required in the scene, help the film to achieve the desired effect, different shots with different music, on the basis of visual effects to optimize the audience's viewing experience.
"No Thief under Heaven" discusses the opposition between good and evil of human beings with a humorous and witty approach, the plot of the film is compact, and the suspense of one link and one link enhances the overall sense of rhythm. Feng Xiaogang made a new attempt in the film, using two giants to interpret the Hong Kong story of the older generation, changing the style of the previous Beijing flavor.
As an annual Chinese New Year film, his innovative moves have undoubtedly become a major attraction.
Whether the wish of the world without thieves can be realized is unknown, the evil in the heart makes people have criminal thoughts, only pure good can arouse goodness, and the story told in the film always adheres to the statement that human nature is inherently good. Being a good person is not easy, and sometimes even gives only life, the opposition between good and evil cannot be changed but can be alleviated, and it is only by holding on to the good heart that it can bear good results.
Thank you for watching, paying attention to me, and learning more about it.
