Flocks of black raindrop-like birds
Fly from dusk into night
The night is nothing
Why comfort me
……
This is the lyrics of the ending song of the new film "Broken Bridge" starring Ma Sichun, Wang Junkai and Fan Wei, using the verses from Haizi's "Tribute to the Night", which is very suitable for the content of the film and the fate and personality of the characters. In the film, Wang Junkai mentions Haizi's poems many times, which is impressive.
Wang Junkai as Meng Chao
Three wandering orphans who have lost their loved ones huddled together to keep warm, hard revenge, thrilling. After watching "Broken Bridge", I was moved. The film is shot in a live-action style, with dialect dialogue and a strong sense of realism.
Fan Wei as Zhu Fangzheng
Wen Xiaoyu, whose father was killed eight years ago, Zhang Qingdong (Meng Chao), who avenged and killed his sister, Blueberry, a little girl whose mother was killed by the explosion (played by Mei Ting's daughter Zeng Mumei), and Zhu Fangzheng, a big evil person with a face full of "Fangzheng" and a vicious heart... The actor's performance is too powerful, the three leading actors have given superb acting skills, Zeng Meihuizi, Li Xiaochuan, Wan Qian, Liu Lin, Huang Lu, Gong Beiyuan and other golden supporting roles. The details of the film are handled very well, and the actors' emotions are precise.
Ma Sichun as Wen Xiaoyu
Fan Wei is, as always, a film emperor-level performance, and interprets the appearance of a bad guy to the fullest. In the impression, this is the first time That Fan Wei has played a major villain. Ma Sichun and Wang Junkai's performance was unexpectedly surprising. Ma Sichun's performance in "The First Incense" last year was disappointing, and this time it must be impressive. I don't remember what films Wang Junkai has acted in before, and his performance in "Broken Bridge" is a big breakthrough last time.
Zeng Meihuizi as Gan Xiaoyang
Broken Bridge is not a simple revenge story, but a stand of human nature. What kind of eyes does the world need to distinguish between good and evil? Man is a complex animal, good guys and bad guys are not so black and white, and the essence of a person can only be revealed at the most critical moment. In order to avenge her father's almost crazy Wen Xiaoyu, did not lose her kind nature, when she saw Gan Xiaoyang and her lovely daughter Blueberry relying on each other, so she felt compassion and gave Gan Xiaoyang the photos taken by the tracking. Her love for blueberries is manifested in many inadvertent details.
Smell the rain and blueberries
The fugitive murderer Zhang Qingdong (Meng Chao), risking his life to tell the truth he saw to Wen Xiaoyu, and together with Wen Xiaoyu investigated her father's enemy, and finally in order to save Wen Xiaoyu, he resolutely died with Zhu Fangzheng - this scene is extremely shocking. His kindness shines even brighter in the situation of the forced servants.
Meng Chao and Wen Xiaoyu
Zhu Fang is an extreme example of a fake good person and a real bad person, he is a good friend of Wen Xiaoyu's father, and after Wen's father's death, he adopted Wen Xiaoyu and became a righteous father who cared for Wen Xiaoyu. When his crimes are discovered by Xiaoyu, a repentant "loving father", a murderous demon, and a cunning habitual criminal are displayed in front of the audience, which makes people creepy and chilling. Fan Wei played this evil man's inner drama very well, and the complexity of human nature is like this.
"Broken Bridge" reminds me of "Young You" starring Zhou Dongyu and Yi Qianxi. The two films are too similar in many ways. In addition to the content and the protagonist's personality, the actors are also not shallow. In "Young You", Zhou Dongyu's acting skills exploded, and he got a large number of film queens with this film; Yi Qianxi's performance made a big breakthrough, and thus successfully transformed, from an idol singer to a powerful movie star.
"Young You" starring Zhou Dongyu and Yi Qianxi
The performances of Ma Sichun and Wang Junkai in "Broken Bridge" are very similar to this, and the absolute acting skills are exploded. Don't forget, when Ma Sichun and Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Horse Award for double film with "July and Ansheng", and Wang Junkai and Yi Qianxi were idol singers who became popular with the tfboys group, both of them turned into the film world, Yi Qianxi took the lead, Wang Junkai was not far behind, I believe that this time with "Broken Bridge" Wang Junkai can fight a turnaround battle.
