The ending of "Manslaughter 2" is actually guessable, but I can't guess that the fatherly love that Lin Rilang broke out will bring me such a shocking feeling.
In my opinion, Lin Rilang's final choice reflects the determination of a father who is willing to give everything for his children.
This determination is shocking, touching, and empathetic. In our real life, there are too many fathers like Lin Zhilang, who are willing to bear and pay silently for the sake of their children and families.
Frankly, watching this movie a few years ago, I probably had a hard time empathizing. But as I grew older, I found it easier and easier for me to experience the love of my parents' affection from some details in my life, and it was easier and easier to harvest touches in film and television works about the love of my parents.
Just like this "Manslaughter 2", I used to think that it was just a well-done genre film, but now it will generate empathy for fatherly love from Lin Rilang, played by Xiao Yang.
What kind of character is Lin Zhilang?
In the film, Lin Zhilang is a less successful screenwriter, the script written by Party A was asked to be revised, the nameless, and did not earn any money; but he is a qualified father, usually spend time to accompany his son, accompany him to play football, play with him, look at his son's eyes, full of love.
When his son suddenly fell ill and needed heart surgery, he would desperately try to earn money just to give his child a chance. But in the face of social reality, this ordinary father is difficult to fight against those who are powerful and rich, and he has no choice but to take risks, even at the expense of his own life to continue his son's life...
It can be said that Lin Zhilang is a very ordinary character, but this ordinary character shows a very unusual father's love, so that we can see the greatness of father's love from him, and we can also harvest from his efforts to touch the heartstrings.
From the perspective of genre films, "Manslaughter 2" is a very mature work: its narrative is smooth, the pace is bright, the characters have distinct characteristics, the emotional expression is very real and grounded, and the whole film has both gripping tense moments and moving moving moments, which belongs to the most enjoyable movie in this year's Lunar New Year file.
But I believe that most viewers will be impressed by the expression of fatherly love in the film after watching this movie.
Lin Zhilang desperately did all kinds of work, desperately hijacked the hospital, and finally the amazing act, all for his son, all motivated by a father's father's love for his child.
Some of his actions may seem a little too extreme, but once we put ourselves in his shoes and consider the dilemmas he faces—the barriers that cannot be crossed, the forces that are difficult to resist—we can understand how difficult his fatherly love is.
In addition, zhang Zhengyi, an old police detective played by Ren Dahua, initially had opinions on his daughter's marriage and love choices, but there were new changes in the back, in fact, it showed that a father usually lacked understanding of his daughter because of his busy work, and the dilemma he faced was the lack of companionship, but throughout it, it was also a father's love for his daughter; and Long Dan, played by Jiang Haowen, to some extent, carried the role image of the opposite side of the people at the bottom, but his purpose was also for the expression of a father's love for his child.
It is also the expression of fatherly love extended from these fatherhoods that makes "Manslaughter 2" have the value of praising fatherly love, and also allows the audience to have a richer understanding of fatherly love.
We often say that "fatherly love is like a mountain", which means that the expression of Chinese fatherly love is often implicit, but the wrapped love is deep and heavy. In life, we must learn to appreciate the love of our father, feel it from some details, and then try to find more opportunities to express a kind of gratitude and give back with more love.
In my opinion, the fatherly love emphasized in Manslaughter 2 is not just a gimmick, but a true expression of emotion. The phrase "dedicated to our father" at the end of the film resonates in our hearts, because it really allows us to feel the greatness of our father's love.
Perhaps, some people will wonder: "Manslaughter 2" is a completely new story, a new character, and what is the connection with "Manslaughter 1"? But when you watch it, you will find that the interpretation of fatherhood in the film is an important link that makes "Manslaughter" 1 and 2 related. Li Weijie in "Manslaughter 1" and Lin Rilang in "Manslaughter 2" both interpret the important identity of "father".
