If the sixth master played by Feng Xiaogang is really a person who has no faith in words, he will not go to the final lake battle.
Some people say that the sixth master is a rogue of the old times. In fact, yes, he fought and fought, went to the end of the world, and went in for several years, causing his wife and children to suffer. Therefore, in public and private, the sixth master is not a person who has contributed to society and the family.
Some people also say that the sixth master is an old dick who loves "poor clothes". In fact, it is also true that others have lived for more than 50 years, and the first half of their lives are either fighting or on the way to fight, but the swords come and go, and they are the number one person on the ground in Beijing, and the cow also has an excuse for the cow.
But in the second half of his life, he was no longer mighty, and became a half-big old man who "only can be messed around in the alley" in his son's mouth.
The old cannon has been mixed all his life, and when he lacks money, he can only cheekily go to his former brother Yanghuo, but he must always have an attitude of borrowing money, but the sixth master just can't pull down this face. Grandpa's prestige is no more, but the spectrum can not be lost, this money must be your foreign fire to take the initiative to lend me, I will push back, you hard to plug, that face can be there.
However, the human foreign fire was really hard, and the face of the sixth master could not be hung up, what was the matter? Really when I want to eat? Looking at it this way, this old cannon with a bad heart really looks at how it is poor.
But it is also strange, according to the saying that people's hearts are not ancient, the foreign fire business is not small, how to look at it is a big boss look, how to really give this poor old six faces. After being ridiculed by the sixth master's sentence "Foreign fire, you are really angry", knowing that the sixth master is ill, he still obediently took the initiative to send money over. When he was leaving, he saw that the sixth master was awake, and he was scared like a child who had made a mistake, and after saying to Min San, "Wake up, I have to go", he ran away with a cigarette.
Some people even said that the sixth master is a big layman who has spoken but does not count, who has set rules and does not obey the rules. This is even more true, the adopted son is not the fault of the godfather, the sixth master's father and son are not harmonious, and the son Xiaobo has caused trouble outside, and he has been found by the owner Xiaofei to circle it. The sixth master who hangs the rules on his lips all the time comes up, others are useless to persuade anything, the sixth master thinks: He is the big brother of the jianghu, there is no uneven thing.
As a result, this matter was swinging around, and the more it was swinging, the more chaotic it became. In the end, the father and son were attacked in the streets and alleys, and Xiaobo's brain melon also let people open the scoop, and even if the sixth master was a big cut of the outdated era, he also understood that "this matter is not as simple as he thought." ”
And when the sixth master carefully looked at the statement that was inadvertently taken to his home and brought big trouble to him and his son Xiaobo, he was silent for a while, and then said heavily: "This is a bad person."
That's right, Old Cannon Sixth Master, a half-old man who didn't look like a good guy himself, identified the fact that he and his family had met an even bunch of real bad guys.
For the sixth master, what is the real bad guy? A life of debauchery, he regards fighting as a family meal, in fact, he has always had his own so-called rules that are different from ordinary people.
For example, one is to see the thief throw away the wallet with the ID card of the owner, and the sixth master thinks that this is no rule. No rules? There are no rules, thieves are also mixed up, take people's money, don't destroy people's documents, just like those gangster movies often shout "bad for wives and children", are a kind of rules.
Then there is the little couple who did not use the honorific title when facing the directions, and the sixth master also thought that this was no rule. Since ancient times, there has been a difference between the elderly and the young, the orderly and inferior, which is also the rule left by the ancestors.
The third is that on the way to the sixth master's four-way to ask for help, he once met someone jumping off the building, but there were good people below who watched and coaxed, making people jump down quickly. This caused great anger to the Sixth Master, because it violated the rules in the Sixth Master's heart. Since ancient times, there have been difficulties and help from all sides, some people have met a sad obstacle, you are incompetent or have no intention of helping each other, and you have to raise a straw, this is no longer a matter of rules and regulations, it is simply a well, there is no morality to speak of.
Of course, the sixth master made rules for others, and he also obeyed the rules. For example, when he was wandering around the alley, as long as he met the second grandfather who was too old to be old, he had to light a cigarette for him, because the second grandfather was older than himself and deserved his respect.
For example, the sixth master met Zheng Hong, a female student who had difficulty asking for help and passers-by on the road, although he himself had difficulties, but still said: "Yes, I don't care if you are really fake, I should give myself a blessing", and helped each other. Because he saw that the child was in difficulty, he could not help. If you don't pay attention to it, you will break your own rules, and if you are deceived, you will lose hundreds of dollars, and if you help, you will have half the possibility of helping others.
In the end, the problem returned to the sixth master's own home. In the face of the incident caused by his son, the sixth master scolded: "You first showed people's honey, and then rowed people's cars, what do you say you did?" Obviously, for his son Xiaobo's behavior, the sixth master also felt that it was quite unruly.
However, a mouth rewrites the development curve of the situation later, repairing the car and losing money to ransom the child into a stubble frame, and finally because of a bank statement, it becomes a completely unequal mutual beating.
In the face of Xiao Bo, who was lying unconscious in a hospital bed, The Sixth Master finally realized his weakness, and he also understood that the past world actually only existed in his own thoughts, the world had already changed, but he didn't want it to change. So the sixth master found XiaoFei and promised Xiaofei that the bill could be returned, but it must come according to his own rules, that is, the stubble frame, and the grievances between the two sides were resolved on the knife, gun and stick, but the premise was that the person who seriously injured his son Xiaobo, Uncle Gong, who was five people and six, must go.
The most criticized place in the whole play also appeared. The sixth master set the rules, but when he returned home, he broke the rules. The statement, the important bet in the bet between the two sides, was sent to the Discipline Inspection Commission by the sixth master, because behind this statement, there was a huge evil group lurking.
"Sixth Master, didn't you say not to call the police?" In the face of the question of the half-size bullet ball that always followed the back of his ass, the sixth master said lightly: "That is not the police, it is a report, even if we are small people, some things have to be done." At this moment, what about the rules of the Sixth Master? Isn't it true that as mentioned above, the sixth master is a big layman who doesn't count, makes rules but doesn't follow the rules?
In fact, the sixth master is a person who does not obey the old, as he himself said, "Just over fifty years old, he is called an old man who is more than half a hundred years old, and it makes people tired and crooked when they listen." The sixth master does not accept the old, and he does not want to admit that he is old, so he is extremely face-saving, just as he and the box say that he is just "wandering", just as he and Yanghuo are stretching the shelf, all because he does not want to admit that he has grown old and the wind and clouds have passed.
But the sixth master is also a person with a chivalrous spirit, he is serious and righteous, and the road is uneven and draws his sword to help. In the face of the corrupt group hidden behind Xiao Fei, his family's grudges and hatreds, and his own little rules are no longer worth mentioning. At the moment he handed out the whistleblower letter, the sixth master had changed from an overdone capital lord to a ranger who wandered between the wells of the city, as Mr. Jin Yong wrote, "The hero is the greatest, for the country and the people."
The sixth master's report is the spirit of chivalry, and after the report, he still goes to the lake alone to go to the appointment, which also reflects his final loyalty to his faith. He didn't want to be involved with the third and others, and in the face of Xiao Bo, who was unconscious in bed, he also knew that he was actually powerless to provide any help. So the sixth master finally put on the coat of his youth, took out the steel knife of his youth, and lit the last cigarette for the white-haired second master.
A man, a knife, stood alone on the vast and frozen lake.
This passage in the film evolves a strange sense of ritual. A stubborn lord who was beautiful when he was young and old but abandoned by the times poured out his last enthusiasm and stubbornness to freeze himself in the past years. Like the ostrich that gallops on the road, the whole movie is filled with a sense of vague dreaminess.
The end of the movie also expresses the recognition of the chivalry hidden in the bones of the sixth master from another side. When the sixth master finally held up his young steel knife and fell on the frozen lake in the charge, Xiao Fei shed a line of hot tears. Xiaofei is a rich second generation, but also the second generation of officials, rich in the living environment, Xiaofei has always lacked the warmth of the family. And what has always been able to give him inner comfort is the martial arts novel that he almost holds in his hand from time to time.
Xiao Fei cried because of his living environment and the characters around him, so that he no longer believed that there was still chivalry in this world. And when he finally ignited that hope in the constant contact with the sixth master, the character who had once made him think that it would only exist in the novel collapsed.
After all, what kind of person is the sixth master? In the movie, there is a dialogue between Xiaobo and the conversation box. When talking about his father, Zi Xiaobo was a little dismissive, he said loudly: "Isn't he going to fight", while the box said: "Your father is different from these people now", what is the difference?
I thought about it and thought about it, what makes the sixth master different is that he will not bully the neighbors, nor will he cause trouble, and he has his own principles for dealing with the world. Compared with those hooligans now, he had an extra traditional bar in his heart, and this bar was also a bottom line in the heart of the sixth master.
And this bottom line is an old stubborn moral bottom line that loves poor clothes and is outdated. Zoomed in, just like Zuo Qianhu in the movie "Ghost of Qiannu", rude and full of anger, but when encountering evil demons, although they are mortal fetuses, they must also enter the Dao with martial force and slaughter demons.
