At the end of the movie, the third elder said that Pudong is Shanghai, and Shanghai is Pudong.
At first, I felt puzzled and didn't take this line seriously, but after half a cat brushed the movie several times, I found that this line was the essence of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Thank you for your support of Half a Cat
What you think you think, not necessarily what you think
The complete story of "Let the Bullets Fly" has at least three layers:
Huang Shilang's story is the first layer
Koshiro
The story of the master is the second layer
Touts
The story of the Mazi brothers is the third layer
Brother Mazi
Huang Shilang's story movie has been said very clearly,
However, the story of Shi Ye and the Mazi brothers is only hidden in a series of clues, and the next half of the cat is to interpret the story that you may not see in the movie.
Master hid two things from Mazi
The story of the Master
One of them, many people have already guessed. Master said, who is that, do you remember?
Who's that
The one here should be the nursery— the mother of the so-called 8-year-old son.
Mother of an 8-year-old son
On the surface, the master cheated on the cannon eight years ago, and the mother and son were the cheaters that the master paid for, and then met afterwards to share the booty.
But this judgment is only half right.
Eight years ago, there really wasn't any deception.
But it was just that the time was not right, and the real situation actually happened when Master Ye was seventeen years old.
We go back to the clip of the 8-year-old boy drilling out from under the bed, and from the dialogue, we can see that my mother has a great distrust of her master.
But when Mazi gave the gem and the woman refused on the grounds that the stone was not worth anything, the master only persuaded the woman to put away the good things and roll up and leave, without the slightest suspicion that the master was deceiving himself. This is in stark contrast to the image of a woman who did not trust the master at all 1 minute ago.
There must be something wrong with this.
They are a pair of liars, but what half a cat wants to say is that this pair of liars is a pair of Mandarin duck thieves.
If the nursery is just a cheater partner for the master, with the master as a person, it is impossible to rest assured that the real money and silver will be handed over to a person who is a liar himself.
Therefore, the relationship between Ge You and The Nursery and their two characters must not be so simple, which will make the master trust so much.
Later, the mother and son were killed. The master's reaction was even more abnormal, crying and shouting to save people.
Master was in a hurry
Some people say that The master is going to chase money, but the money is already in the hands of the fake hemp, the fake hemp has been caught, do you still need to chase? It is even more unlikely to say that it is an excuse to run away with money, which is under the eyes of Zhang Mazi.
Therefore, the truth of The story of the master is that this "8-year-old" stupid son is the son of the master, and the nursery is also the mother of this stupid son, the wife of the master. But this stupid son was not 8 years old, but a product of the sexual enlightenment of the master when he was seventeen.
Master deliberately arranged for this flawed father-son recognition in order to make Mazi mistakenly think that there was no blood relationship between them.
Everyone thinks that everything the master says is a lie, and the master simply pushes the boat along the water, and the real drama is fake, but it can deceive everyone. In today's parlance, it is "I have prejudged your prejudgment."
There was another thing that Ge You wanted to say first, but felt that he could not say it.
It was related to Zhang Mazi's brothers, and it was likely to directly lead to the death of the second eldest, so halfway through the sentence, The master swallowed it back.
Huang Silang has bought 6 county magistrates and 6 letters of appointment. For Huang Silang, it is not important to be a county magistrate, and his means of accumulating wealth are much more efficient than being a county magistrate.
In Huang Silang's hands, these letters of appointment are nothing more than commodities.
However, these letters of appointment are very important to the master, and in the eyes of the master, the letter of appointment is money.
So the truth is that Huang Silang handed over 5 of the letters of appointment to the master, and only 1 of them was left for himself.
However, Huang Silang's condition was that master should assist him in settling Zhang Mazi, the fake county magistrate.
In this way, coupled with the "Letter of Appointment of Kangcheng County" that master originally had in his hand, there were 6 letters of appointment.
Interesting things came, let's take stock of the number of bandits who went out of the city
Bandits
Master, Zhang Mazi, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, a total of 7 people, if you remove Zhang Mazi, that is six people, corresponding to 6 letters of appointment.
If you combine the remaining brothers of Zhang Mazi at the end of the film to leave him, what do you think of?
The best way to disintegrate Zhang Mazi's power is to find a way out of his brother.
Therefore, before going out of the city to suppress the bandits, Master Shi had found Zhang Mazi's brothers one by one.
With master's three inches of incorruptible tongue, it was not difficult to say that a few bandits were mobilized to become county magistrates. There is no need to put Zhang Mazi to death, just listen to him.
When the bandits were suppressed, the second brother acted alone, and he naturally became the first target.
The second brother fell single
When Zhang Mazi arranged for the second elder to go out of the city to meet him, who was present? Master, so he knew the whereabouts of the second eldest.
Master Ye used a letter of appointment to hook up with the second brother, and then colluded with Huang Silang to kill the second brother and go to the next city first.
The second brother was suspended in the air, and the master subconsciously asked, "Dead?" ”
Death of the second brother
This sentence makes it clear that his heart is weak.
In the end, the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh elders left the eldest brother together with the flower sister, in fact, because the master had planted grass in their hearts. Coupled with the white horse-drawn train at the end of the film, it is the same as when the master was sent out to be the county magistrate at the beginning, what this represents should already be very clear - with the letter of appointment, when the county chief went.
The last master they saw was that they were like the master, and they went to be the county magistrate
In the end, when his closest relatives were tragically killed by Huang Silang's poisonous hands, and his own life was shortly over, Shi Ye finally consciencefully advised Zhang Mazi not to return to Goose City. It can be said that cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, and the organs are too clever to mislead Qingqing's life.
These are the two things that Master Shi concealed, and Master Shi's complete story.
The blank of the death of the second brother
Second brother
The death of the second brother is the biggest blank in the movie, and this gap is related to women.
Sister Hua is Huang Silang's spy, and I think many friends have seen it.
Flower sister
Hua Jie said that she could not shoot, but the gun was drawn, which was not simple at all.
Can't shoot?
Also, the other girls knocked down a box, and Huang Silang had to take a knife and cut people.
Dai Yu Qingwenzi
But Sister Hua had played with her sworn enemies, but Huang Silang let him go.
Unless, this was originally arranged by Huang Silang.
Riding a human flesh bicycle scene, Hua Jie showed Huang Silang something, we don't know what is inside, but it is certainly not Huang Silang's prostitute, he is not bad for this money.
What is in the box should be the joint information of Hua Jie and Huang Silang.
This made Huang Silang leave with confidence, and said leisurely, you are about to become a little phoenix immortal.
Xiao Fengxian, a famous prostitute in the late Qing Dynasty, helped general Cai E escape yuan shikai's house arrest, and had a love affair with Cai E until his death. Huang Silang mentioned Xiao Fengxian here, he was praising Sister Hua, you spy, you should have a look.
Spy Flower Sister
Then, we recall this sentence that Sister Hua said, "Even if they are heroes, I am not a beauty; even if I am a beauty, they are not heroes." The heroes here, we changed to General Cai Yi, the beauty, we changed to Xiao Fengxian, and the words became, "Even if they are Cai Yi, I am not Xiao Fengxian; even if I am Xiao Fengxian, they are not Cai Yi."
The first half of the sentence means, rest assured, I am not with them, and the second half of the sentence means, next, I will get them done.
You taste, you taste.
With this foreshadowing, how did the second brother die, do you have the answer?
Zhang Mazi's arrangement for Hua Jie was to look at the stand-in, so she was not in the ranks of the bandits out of the city, not in Zhang Mazi's line of sight.
After the master knew the whereabouts of the second brother, Sister Hua knew the whereabouts of the second brother. Zhang Mazi returned to Goose City, and the stand-in disappeared with Hua Jie. Why missing, because Sister Hua is busy killing the second brother. And the second brother will not be defensive when he sees The flower sister.
Then the third elder went to find a stand-in, how could he find it so easily? Zhang Mazi asked, is it as simple as that? The answer is as simple as that. In fact, Zhang Mazi had already begun to suspect. Doubt The flower sister, but also doubt the third elder.
Zhang Mazi knew that things were not so simple, but he chose not to break through at this juncture.
The truth of the matter is that Sister Hua shot and broke the chain that locked the stand-in, went to Qingshiling to kill the second brother, and met the third elder on the way back.
At this moment, the fake Mazi was killed by the real Mazi, Hua Jie should also know, Mazi wanted to hang Huang Silang with great fanfare, and everyone knew that the momentum was completely turned to Zhang Mazi's side, which everyone could see.
At this time, Sister Hua has begun to waver, Zhang Mazi is obviously the trend of the times now, helping Zhang Mazi find a stand-in is the best card she can take root in Zhang Mazi's camp. And the stand-in was arranged by her.
In fact, Zhang Mazi had finally seen all this.
So he looked at the third elder and said, "Second, second."
Dude
Zhang Mazi used the gesture of Hua Jie to hold a double gun - towards Hua Jie's gun, which means, I really want to shoot you and avenge the second brother. Gun to yourself, meaning, why didn't TM break you up earlier, what use is there now...
Sister Hua took the gun
Zhang Mazi regretted that it was too late
Why did the third elder leave Zhang Mazi
Third
From the line of Flower Sister, we transitioned to the line of the third elder played by Liao Fan.
What kind of person is the third elder?
He said, Big Brother, you know me, and you don't ask for anything.
Ask for nothing
This sentence sounds fine, but it is intriguing in the context of the scene at that time.
The second said that he was gay, the fourth said that he would kill people, the fifth said that he was timid, and the seventh said that he liked to be passive, these are all reasonable reasons. Nor are there too many opinions.
But what does the third elder mean when he says that he does not seek anyone in everything? At least he was the one with the most opinion.
The third who does not ask for anything
This sentence is also doomed, and the third elder will eventually leave Zhang Mazi.
Don't ask for anything, which means that I will leave a good backhand for myself. The third elder hooked up with Sister Hua himself, kept the money himself, took the letter of appointment of the county magistrate himself, and finally, when his own earth emperor went.
One might ask, aren't they all brothers? Brothers are not fake, and don't forget, they are all bandits.
It is not difficult to see from the scene of "after receiving the ransom and preparing to evacuate Goose City", it is not difficult to see that they have long forgotten the revenge of the little sixth son, and they will go wherever it is advantageous.
Recalling the way they vowed to avenge him in front of The Little Sixth Son's tomb, it seemed particularly ironic.
Zhang Mazi asked the brothers why they were leaving, and they all thought that the days of following Zhang Mazi were indeed quite happy, but it was indeed not very easy.
Robbing a house and releasing nature is really happy.
But when the money is in hand, it is not easy for anyone to score points.
Red makeup old three
This is the true story of the Mazi brothers hidden in the movie.
The Asako Brothers
Pudong is Shanghai, and Shanghai is Pudong
The title of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", two scenes, the gun was fired, but there was no immediate response, so Zhang Mazi threw out this line. The shot was fired, and the bullets in the gun engulfed so fast that you wouldn't be able to see the desired result right away.
It's like the story of "Let the Bullets Fly", one layer wrapped around the other, and if you don't dig it up, you don't know what the truth is.
Usually there aren't so many things that happen overnight, and usually things aren't as simple as we think. If you don't let the bullets fly for a while, how can you wait until the day when they blossom and bear fruit.
Let the bullets fly for a while
Let the bullets fly for a while, Jiang Wen's words are clearly for us off-screen.
As Jiang Wen's character says in the movie, people only believe what they believe.
People just want to believe that the face of a leader of a hemp bandit will be full of hemp seeds.
People just want to believe that no matter what a liar says, he is lying to someone.
At the end of the film's confusion, the third elder said: "Pudong is Shanghai, and Shanghai is Pudong." ”
Pudong cannot represent Shanghai, and Shanghai is not only Pudong, but with a point overview, a partial generalization, is not exactly our usual thinking?
We are only willing to believe what we believe, the rest, does it matter?
Now, do you understand Let the Bullets Fly?
