Introduction
Xiao Yang starred in the New Year film "Manslaughter 2", which grossed nearly 1 billion, just one step away from the 1.3 billion box office of "Manslaughter 1".
Although some people question the suspenseful part of the film, it is undeniable that almost all people have been psychologically broken by Lin Zhilang, played by Xiao Yang, and after the first part, Xiao Yang has fought again to become a god.
The film is very powerful at the beginning: the robber Lin Zhilang, after a series of careful planning, takes hostages in the hospital with guns, the police quickly surround the hospital, and the female reporter Li Anqi single-handedly enters the scene of the hijacking to restore the truth of the incident.
Unlike other robbers, Lin Rilang did not want money or vent his anger, but to save people.
He was originally an ordinary member of the crowd, no great achievements, a little happiness, a family of three lived a bland life that was less than the top and more than the bottom.
And all this calm was shattered by an accident.
The 8-year-old son Worm accidentally fell into a coma and needed a heart transplant, and the operation fee of more than 2 million yuan crushed the family in an instant.
They sold their property, borrowed money everywhere, applied for serious illness insurance, and even borrowed usurious loans... In the last hour, Lin Zhilang arrived with the life-saving money, but his heart was inexplicably gone.
Destroying one family, one accident is enough, let alone two.
In the ward, the frail worm is waiting for a heart transplant; outside the ward, Dad transforms into a robber and forces the police to retrieve the heart.
Father and robber, two identities coexist, which side do you stand on?
01
First manslaughter: bugs
Where has the heart gone?
When his wife, Ah Ling, overheard the dean talking to Dr. Dama and knew that his heart had been "robbed" by a big person, Lin Rilang was enraged.
You never know what a father can do for his children? This sentence belongs to two fathers.
One is Lin Zhilang, who did not hesitate to take a gun and become a robber in order to keep his son alive; the other is the mayor Long Dan, who also used his power to steal the heart in order to keep his son alive.
At the other end of the city, there had just been a car accident, and a young man had been pushed into the operating room, and the heart that belonged to the worm was now being transplanted into his body; and this young man was Long Dan's son.
Meanwhile, Satin, the mayor's secretary as a messenger of justice, walked into bugs' ward with a freezer containing a heart and a team of experts, and everyone cheered because the child had been saved.
No one knows that this is nothing more than a hoax: the doctors in the operating room quietly gather around the worms, and the freezer on the side is empty, as if mocking the innocence of the world.
That scene was chilling.
"Some children are children, and some children are not ordinary children."
When Lin Zhilang said these words to another father, Long Dan, you can imagine how cold he was.
Also as a father, to watch his own child, a child who grew up in a single-parent family and did not enjoy maternal love, suddenly left, Mayor Long Dan could not stand it, he desperately wanted to save his son, this is not wrong.
But because of his special status, he said a word, and there will be many people in the back who are "anxious for the leadership" and try their best to complete the task, even if they steal the heart, blame others, and falsify the truth.
They wouldn't have thought that Worm was only 8 years old and that his life was innocent.
"Why do we work so hard, honestly, and only want to give our children a life, but in the end it is always you who win?"
Lin Zhilang was outside the operating room, pointing a gun at Long Dan and falling into a deep despair.
From beginning to end, this elaborate drama, is it manslaughter or murder?
02
Second manslaughter: Lin Rilang
Lin Zhilang is a screenwriter, because he can't get the investor, the end of the script was changed to this: the robbers retaliated against society because of the death of their son, and shot and killed all the hostages.
But privately, Lin Zhilang designed another version for the male protagonist: it was this B version that reversed the entire ending.
Lin Zhilang made an organ match with his son before the hospital hijacking plan; at the scene of the hijacking, he asked the attending doctor, Dama, a question that only two people understood.
Lin Zhilang asked, "Do I have one last chance?" Dr. Damma nodded.
This means that at the beginning of the hijacking plan, Lin Zhilang was ready to implement Plan B: to exchange his own life for his son's life.
Outside the operating room, Lin Zhilang said a paragraph to Long Dan: "We are insulted, damaged, and squeezed, we can endure, but we must fight for the children, let them be free from such a life, if all the resistance is useless, then I choose not to become beasts, not to become the beasts I want to defeat." ”
So, he and Long Dan jointly performed a play, making the police mistakenly think that he was going to hurt the hostages, forcing the police to shoot and kill himself.
At this point, Lin Zhilang completed his B plan and left the last words to the little worm: "I used to think that I could accompany you for a lifetime, but think about it, who can accompany whom for a lifetime?" ”
It was also an elaborate drama, and Lin Invited everyone into the game: journalists, police, doctors, hostages, mayors, onlookers, all those who saw and heard the news, even the audience.
Guns are fake, hijacking is fake, murder is fake, viciousness is fake; coldness is real, despair is real, love is real, kindness is real.
What is true and what is false? What is right and what is wrong?
Sometimes it's hard to define that the only thing we can hold on to is our own inner moral defense.
Lin Zhilang once asked Zhang Zhengyi, a policeman played by Ren Dahua: Are you a cat or a mouse? This question is very meaningful.
Mayors, secretaries, ministers of health, deans, businessmen who do organ trading, if they are not discovered, are still sitting in their places, earning fame and profit.
But they have never been able to get on the table, in order to keep the secret, to be a lifetime of "rats", in the face of the uneasiness of conscience.
The writer Zang Kejia wrote: Some people are dead, he is still alive; some people are alive, he is dead.
The fallen Lin Rilang smiled and declared the final victory with death.
This is not a manslaughter, but a single-minded death.
03
The third manslaughter: public opinion
If in "Manslaughter 1", Li Weijie is single-handed, launching a 1-on-1 duel with the police; then Lin Zhilang in "Manslaughter 2", the situation is much more complicated, he is facing a situation of 1 to many.
In addition to the visible opponents: police, hostages, the dean, the health chief, the mayor's secretary, the mayor..., there are also the forces of the dark tide, such as: crowds of onlookers, patients in the worm ward, and public opinion.
The latter force is sometimes more powerful and even forms a stranglehold.
If you look closely, you will find that Lin Rilang's image in the eyes of everyone has been changing.
At first, people were furious at the robbers, and they hoped that the police would rush in to free the hostages and kill the criminals.
As reporters reported the truth, people began to sympathize with the Lin Rilang family, an emotion that reached its climax after the pregnant woman and the hostage couple were released.
When the wife told the crowd, "He is a good man, and the one who stole his son's heart is the bad guy," the people began to support Lin Zhilang one-sidedly, and directed their anger at the minister of health.
But then, when the police sneaked up on Lin Zhilang and he was "killed", the people began to turn again; the patient's ward was besieged by the patient's family, and they insisted on driving the dying worm out of the hospital.
However, the incident reversed again, and reporter Li Anqi exposed the truth in the heavy rain, leading to the mayor and the mayor's secretary behind the scenes; the crowd was once again enraged, and they demanded that the mayor step down.
In the end, Lin Rilang was shot dead by the police, and the scene was chaotic: Zhang Zhengyi shouted: "His gun is fake"; Dr. Dama rushed into the crowd and took Lin Rilang into the operating room; the crowd was all silent.
The same Lin Rilang, the same hijacking incident, the same onlookers, just a few tens of minutes, cognition and emotions are constantly reversed; this is very intriguing, can't help but remind people of the current melon-eating masses and network violence.
The film raises a question: Who is Lin Zhilang?
Faced with this problem, the sharp-toothed female reporter Li Anqi was silent, and we seemed to find no suitable language to define this role.
As director Dai Mo said: "We can't define a person with one thing, because the definition of a person is a layer of manslaughter." ”
Power can kill people, public opinion can also kill people, and we may all be the ones who "accidentally killed" others.
The warmest part of the film is Lin Richang's funeral, when all the abductees of the hospital duel came, and in the distance there was a young man who bowed deeply, that is, the son of mayor Long Dan.
Love awakens love, and hate inspires hate.
The world is not an island, and our every choice affects thousands of people, even a small firefly can become light in the darkness.
Write at the end
Lin Zhilang left, he walked with a smile, and single-handedly ended the hatred and returned to peace.
But this result is a little unfair: he is just a father who loves his children deeply, he has not hurt anyone, who is responsible for his death?
Looking at the whole incident, you will find that each party has a good reason.
The mayor just wants to save his son, the secretary just wants to please the leader, the health minister and the dean just want to keep their positions, the doctor just wants to keep the job bowl, the police just want to protect the hostages... Everyone does not want to do evil, and they have their own "last resort".
Even the families who kicked the sick mother and child out of the ward had a good reason: We were not with the families of the kidnappers.
Everyone seems to be very self-consistent; except for one thing, being born as a human being, you should not be so indifferent.
There is a line in the film that is very heartfelt: such a thing can happen to thousands of ordinary people, next time it is your turn?
At the end of the film, the director arranges a parallel space for Plan C.
Meaning, the whole story is only Lin Rilang's script, not a real event; this design, the audience has mixed reviews.
In fact, life is like a play, a drama is like life, which one you are willing to believe, that is the end.
