Cinemas continue to be closed.
Sir can only continue to brush up on old movies.
Last week, "Double Pupil", after brushing found ——
Alas, how this ending is different from what I saw before.
This week," Dumplings, I found out—
Alas, how can there be another ending.
This inspired Sir.
The so-called double ending, some depend on the director's expression, some succumb to censorship (market pressure), and some even deliberately shoot different versions, creating a wider interpretation space for the film.
Sir believes you've heard a lot.
But Sir believed more —
The vast majority are still sunken to the bottom of the sea.
This is the biggest value of today's film list -
Eye-opening ring.
Part one
Evil does not suppress righteousness
This is the fate of most Hong Kong-made police films.
Especially before 2012.
On the one hand, the director's expression, restoration and respect for the chaos of the world, the complexity of human nature; on the other hand, there is the unshakable standard of release/distribution.
The villain must die.
If you don't die, you have to die.
Infernal Affairs
The best Hong Kong movie of the new century.
The police and bandits sent undercover each other, the two-male fighting method between the protagonists, and the human struggle behind the bridge, were purchased by Hollywood for the copyright, and the later "Infernal Walker" was remade.
The latter even won the Oscar for Best Picture that year.
Enough to prove how good the original version is.
But at the beginning of the release, no one expected it to succeed.
Even, without the slightest ambition to create a series.
So much so that in order to successfully release it in the mainland, two contradictory endings were filmed.
In the original version, Liu Jianming killed another undercover of the police force and calmly stepped out of the elevator under the gaze of a group of policemen.
All he had to face was a beautiful report.
Like he had before.
The body of the undercover Chen Yongren remained in the elevator forever.
A bad guy gets away with it, and a good guy has to end up with no choice.
Of course not.
The mainland release version was indeed changed to ——
As soon as Liu Jianming stepped out of the elevator, he was directly arrested by the police who rushed to him.
This almost completely cut off the survival of the sequel.
Imagine that.
If Liu Jianming's first part is to fu fa, then the third part, who killed Yang Jinrong.
The Underworld
Du Qifeng only used two movies to tell the unprecedented epic of Hong Kong's underworld.
When the first "Underworld" was released in China, it was called "Dragon City Years".
equally.
The controversy takes place at the end of the film.
In the original version:
Ah Le suddenly bursts out, killing the Big D couple and throwing the corpse into the wilderness.
Returned to the car idly.
Ah Le, who has been carrying sheep all along, finally revealed his fangs.
Children who see everything tremble with fear.
△ Pay attention to your child's expression
The mainland version has been greatly adjusted.
- So much so that the second part has not been released so far.
After Ale attacked Big D, he was arrested by the police who suddenly arrived.
After that, the picture turns.
In the police office, the policeman played by David Jiang mentioned that due to the undercover action of Inspector Lee Ka Yuen, all the underworld elements were arrested.
Ah Le will be prosecuted for the murder of Big D.
Who is Lee Ka Yuen?
The picture turns again --
Li Jiayuan is Jimmy Boy, that is, undercover.
An uncle of the society turned into a tainted witness.
The film ends with the confession and exclamation of the big man —
"Death Gold"
Or Du Qifeng.
Original:
The three-legged leopard (Liu Qingyun) and the bank clerk Teresa passed by on the road.
It was as if there had never been an intersection.
Then the picture goes black and the story ends.
The story of money and morality, desire and truth, continues to repeat itself in this society where humanity is gray.
Mainland Version:
Inspector Zhang Zhengfang (Ren Xianqi) walked into the director's office and told the director that the whereabouts of the 10 million yuan in cash had been found, and the director ordered that he act immediately.
Subtitles overturn everything.
Familiar routines.
Familiar prescriptions.
Clearly understood?
Drug War
The grand finale of "Poison War" is very classic.
Drug dealer Cai Tim Ming (Gu Tianle) overdrafts all his credit at the police and gangsters, causing fire and heavy casualties.
In the end, Cai Tim Ming was sentenced to death.
The scene of the lethal injection was impressive.
Before dying, he continued to bite his accomplices, hoping to make meritorious contributions to avoid death.
It can be said that sin deserves it.
But in fact, in an interview after the release, Gu Tianle also revealed that director Du Qifeng had another ending idea when filming the movie -
Originally, I killed all the policemen and my brother (successfully escaped), and eight years later I was selling drugs with people on the Queqiao Bridge in Yunnan, Huang Yi was the captain, and then she led a team of people and horses to arrest me, and as soon as I saw it, I immediately jumped down, the place was very high, and my foot was broken.
Of course, I still haven't given up, and I still have to turn around and slowly crawl away, but I really managed to escape.
Now that ending was what he came up with later.
This, of course, was not filmed.
The Divine Detective
As we all know, one of the most essential scenes of the detective is to change the gun at the end.
Who's gun.
Who fired.
Shoot at whom.
In a field of fallen corpses, the surviving He Jia'an (An Zhijie) gets the final right to explain.
In the process of changing guns, the despicable and hypocritical, ugly and selfish, of human nature were exposed to the fullest.
This is one of Du Qifeng's most bitter endings.
But in another version.
After confirming that Chen Guibin (Liu Qingyun) and Gao Zhiwei (Lin Jiadong) were both killed.
An Zhijie called the police alone——
I killed someone, and I wanted to turn myself in.
The whole film is finished.
The Disciple
Change someone.
"The Disciple", one of Er Dongsheng's most ambitious works.
In one version of the ending, Wu Yanzu is wearing a police uniform to inject drugs, and the little girl pulls a needle from him and throws it in the trash.
One version of the ending shows Wu Yanzu looking at the drug-taking device on the table in civilian clothes, and the little girl comes in and throws it away.
The difference is that -
The first version shows that police officers who are in the "infernal way" may also be pulled by good and evil and have a distorted heart.
One version hopes that black is black and white is white.
Kill the Wolf
I can't imagine that "Kill the Wolf" has a double ending.
Nine times out of ten you've seen it are:
Justice representative Ma Jun (Zhen Zidan) finally defeats the underworld boss Wang Bao (Hong Jinbao) after many hardships and draws a bottle of good wine from under him.
Sit here alone and drink alone.
The story ends in a good mood.
In fact, the story is not over.
Ma Jun was drinking.
As a result, Wang Bao suddenly burst out, and his grasp was a barbaric collision.
The latter smashed the glass and fell downstairs.
Crash into a car.
Sitting in the car were Wang Bao's wife and children, who were waiting downstairs.
Ma Jun was dead.
The people Wang Bao most wanted to protect were gone.
Who do you say is more tragic?
The sense of fate of evil has evil retribution and instantly raises a level.
In fact.
There should not be too many such cases.
These few words, you must not be unfamiliar.
"Whether I have caught anyone wrong in so many years as a policeman, this question I leave to the judge to answer." My job is to catch thieves by the police. Everything is done for the sake of stability and prosperity here."
"Forget it, we can't escape... Come back and turn yourself in together."
"Through this, we will be human again in the future."
This sense of wonder between magic and reality has even spawned a tacit statement among fans.
Some movies have to wait for easter eggs.
Some movies can leave the scene before the "Easter egg" comes out.
Part two
Women are not bad
This part of Sir is a bit confusing.
Human nature is gender-neutral.
There are bad men, and naturally there are women who choose darkness and sinking.
Not allowing bad women to escape from the rules is actually a more vulgar and narrow gender value.
A figurative person is a vivid person.
"A woman who can't be broken" is a specimen.
Exodus
The title is strange, about "assassination" and "escape" in the war between the sexes.
There is a mysterious organization in the film, that is, women use mysterious poison to kill all bad men.
The story revolves around its truth.
To the end.
In the original version, the policeman Ren Dahua originally thought that he had cracked a major case and was promoted, but he kept hiccuping during the interview, and his eyes were black.
Combined with the previous plot, it is not difficult to guess that he was poisoned.
The symptom is that you will die after 100 hiccups.
Apparently, he was recruited, and the organization was not completely wiped out.
But came the DVD version.
The heroine Liu Xinyou jumped out in a shawl:
I said it all.
Police also cracked down on her:
Your husband doesn't want to see you again.
Compare the implications.
In the former, women still have the ability to compete with men, whether it is poisonous or not, at least deterrent.
The latter disarmed themselves and eventually retreated into the subordinate mud pit of subordination to their husbands.
"No Man's Land"
It started in March 2009 and finished filming in June – and then, four years later, it was released nationwide.
During this period, the two leading actors Xu Zheng and Huang Bo have released their "Tai Yuan of Man's Journey Again", which has become the golden sign of the box office.
Many viewers also think that "No Man's Land" is a comedy, and as a result, it is a very serious crime film, pushing small people to extreme geographical environments, thus testing the chassis of human nature.
Some people say that it is a Western film of the true significance in the history of Chinese films, not only in geographical significance, but in terms of theme and plot trunk, it satisfies the three core elements of "highway, extrajudiciality and fate".
A lawyer (Xu Zheng), who collects black money and whitewashes the criminals, crashes into a hitchhiker (Huang Bo), who is actually a gangster, thus unveiling the beast fight drama of black eating black.
The reason why it dragged on for four years is that in addition to geography, it is also in the depiction of human nature, conservative opinions are worried that it is too dark, and the correspondence between people and animals such as horses, dogs, lizards, falcons and other animals appearing in the film feels physiologically uncomfortable.
What about all the evil people?
change.
At the very least, prostitutes have to be good.
Originally set, the prostitute (Played by Yu Nan) who escaped from the killing was in vain, and there was still no man's land outside the no-man's land, and the Metaphor of Desire's Shura Field was endless.
But in the release version, the prostitute has a bright end, she came to Beijing, a civilized metropolis.
In the sun-filled dance room, the children surrounded her and called her teacher, and the previous skills were also used for serious purposes.
In short, how can there be a "no man's land", geographically or psychologically, is not allowed.
The sun is shining, and there is nowhere to hide.
Similarly, "The Night of Mong Kok", the ending is also to add a monologue to the prostitute Cecilia Cheung:
"I'm going to reform myself and never live the same old days again."
Someone might have said that.
This may need to consider the review criteria?!
Not really.
Some double-ending versions depend entirely on whether the director wants to leave a little human fire.
To put it more bluntly:
Do you believe that human nature is inherently good or evil?
Stay, be happy, relax, and the audience pulls away from the story.
Not left, shocked, depressed, but also does not rule out the reflection of forcing out the rebirth of the Jedi;
Again, that sentence:
Dumplings
There is a kind of "evil door" beauty technique.
As long as you eat dumplings stuffed by miscarriage children, you can rejuvenate.
This setting excludes the mainland market from the outset.
There are still two endings.
One is --
Lonely Kuo Tai Yang Qianwei is walking farther and farther on the road of eating "dumplings" to rejuvenate.
Develop to the point of not eating, there is a rotten, fishy smell on the body.
At this time, Bai Ling, who provided "dumplings", ran away.
What to do?
Li Tai looked at her husband's sneaky little third's belly.
She bought "him" at a high price, with hatred, and with the pleasure of revenge and hatred, she ate the most expensive meal of "dumplings" in her life.
It's dark enough.
There is also darker.
It is said that the other is —
Mrs. Lee became younger and pregnant after eating dumplings.
Similarly, the woman who makes dumplings, Mei Auntie (Bai Ling), does not say goodbye.
Afraid of getting old, Mrs. Li had an unfortunate miscarriage while taking a bath.
At the end of the film, she is still eating dumplings.
You should be able to guess where the ingredients come from?
The difference between the two is that —
The former still conforms to the stereotype of "little three original sins", and the grandmother still deserves sympathy.
The latter, on the other hand, completely breaks through the bottom line of human morality.
There's also "Double Pupils."
Sir always thought the ending was—"
After the two-eyed maiden seduced the Yellow Fire Earth to kill people with fantasy, she successfully completed the ascension and took the soul of the Yellow Fire Earth with her.
but.
At the call of his wife and daughter, Huang Huotu woke up.
The inscription at the end smells of chicken soup -
Well.
Love is a magic weapon against some evil.
Didn't expect that.
Last week, Sir saw another version.
Yellow Fire Earth did not wake up?
No, no, no.
He still woke up.
△ Pay attention to the corners of your eyes, tears
But the inscription at the end is replaced by a mysterious statement.
Worry about love
Fear is born of love
If separated from the lover
Worry-free and fearless
What do you mean?
This actually deepens the religious expression of the whole film.
He poked and prodded that the reason why the Yellow Fire Earth was chosen by the maiden was that he was also a cultivator.
He could have "become an immortal" in the end.
Becoming an immortal is to eliminate evil with evil.
Immortality is also the "greatest" sin.
So --
You are a fairy who has no feelings (fate).
Or be a mortal with love (and weakness).
Part three
Do not disturb
This part is entirely the director's self-choice.
so-called.
One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.
The last thought is "heaven" and "hell", unpredictable.
Wong Kar Wai was the most upset.
As long as the Sunglasses King is willing, the video materials collected by his company Zedong can not only cut out a double ending, three or four.
Start with Carmen Mong Kok.
What we can see now is that Hua Tsai fell in a pool of blood, for the sake of a silly love complex.
In another version, he was not shot to death, but became a vegetative person, Maggie Cheung fed him a mouthful, and Hua Tsai wrapped a bandage and became sad, indulging in love, but losing faith in the jianghu.
"The True Biography of Ah Fei".
Zhou Muyun, who came from Shanghai, met Su Lizhen, and Liang Chaowei had a rivalry with Maggie Cheung.
It's not just Mondays where people are getting dressed, smoking and combing their hair.
And beyond that, what we don't see is —
In "The Legend of Ah Fei", Xu Zai (Zhang Guorong), who is looking for his birth mother in the Philippines, is refused to meet and commits suicide on the bridge.
I don't know if Wong Kar-wai loved the whole handsome guy, and when it came to "Spring Break", he also treated Liang Chaowei fairly and arranged for Lai Yaohui (Liang Chaowei) to commit suicide.
Lai Also had a heterosexual relationship (a confrontation with Kwan Shu-yee).
Including, of course, Fallen Angels.
At the end of the film, the dumb man played by Jin Chengwu drives a motorcycle and carries Angel No. 2, played by Li Jiaxin, through the underground tunnel.
The picture is getting darker.
In the soundtrack of "Only You," the story ends.
And the other version that circulated ended up being—
Dumb kissed Angel Two and turned to leave.
The handling of multiple endings is also, to some extent, the power of the big director.
Zhang Yimou, Happy Times.
In the original version, Zhao Benshan and Dong Jie sat on the massage chair, accompanied by the roar of the demolition of the "Happy Time" hostel, and the old Zhao read the letter written by the father pretending to be a blind girl, reading and reading, the play was fake and true, the cast list, and the aftertaste was deep.
After the release, Zhang Yimou made up another ending.
Old Zhao wrote a letter, went out and was hit by a truck, and went to the hospital; Fu Biao read a letter with blood; the blind woman Dong Jie recorded a message to live her own life, and the fake father and daughter became strangers and disappeared into the sea of people.
Xu Ke filmed "Seven Swords", and the deleted ending is that it was his own brother who killed the villain Feng Huocheng (played by Sun Honglei), and the public version was killed by gunpowder.
Chen Kaige filmed "Wuji" because of the length of time to consider deleting, Allure once again became a little girl, Man Shen (Chen Hong) asked, are you willing to pay true love in exchange for the love of the world? The wind sounded, and the girl's eyes were firmly rejected.
Not to mention that Feng Xiaogang filmed three endings in "The Gathering Number".
The other two editions you didn't see —
One is that Guzidi did not go to the graves of his brothers, still holding half a steamed bun in his hand, and froze to death on the road;
And then there's the grain of madness.
Screenwriter Liu Heng hurriedly persuaded Feng Xiaogang:
Absolutely not, the audience believes in mythology.
Speaking of which, today's article is also over.
Sir also plays "Double Ending".
A story always has an ending.
Does the ending matter?
It doesn't really matter.
The ending is nothing more than the sum of the "processes".
Don't be afraid of the ending.
It can be reversed, but the meaning of the process is actually clearly seen by those who have a heart.
Absurdity has the power of absurdity.
From this point on.
The real meaning of the ending is not the end.
What kind of ending to choose is actually what kind of face to choose to start with.
In the face of the real world that envelops everyone, everyone has the right to choose not to listen or not to see.
When you choose not to listen or not to watch.
You do find the "truth" faster than others.
But you also stand where you are all your life.
