"Broken Bridge" was released for 2 days and broke through 100 million at the box office.
Word of mouth is mixed, Douban score, passing level.
A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts.
"Broken Bridge" is good or not, it depends on the wisdom.
I'm not going to talk about my intuitive feelings about this movie today.
Just want to talk about whether there are any details worth playing in this movie.
Note that the following is full of spoilers.
01
The character's name hints at the two sides of the character.
Zhu Fangzheng, played by Fan Wei, has the word "Fangzheng" in his name, but he does not act "Fangzheng" at all.
He is the most successful character in the whole film, and it is worth pulling out alone and talking about later.
Look at the next negative character, Ju Huaiyi.
Huaiyi, as the name suggests, has justice in mind.
But all he did was merciless.
The bridge was built, and he was filled with money.
In the face of his boss Zhu Fangzheng, he also kept a hand and kept a miniature camera to record Evidence of Zhu Fangzheng's crime.
Just in case.
Next, let's look at the names of the positive characters.
Smell bright. Represents the party of justice.
Integrity, kindness, and not succumbing to power.
Dare to say no to corruption, face the temptation of money and be unmoved, and insist on reporting to the superiors.
However, it ended up with the most tragic end of the whole film.
Buried alive by concrete. After death, they will also be rumored to have a bad private life.
Eight years have passed before the snow has fallen.
In his life, he never seemed to feel a moment of light.
Smell the rain.
Xiao is the meaning of the day when it is just dawn.
Huangque City, where the story takes place, has been raining, wet and depressed.
It wasn't until the finale that the sky cleared.
Foreshadowing the end of the night, the dawn of the dawn illuminating the earth.
Standing in the sunshine, Xiao Yu finally ushered in a rebirth.
Zhang Qingdong.
After eight years of exile, he changed his name to Meng Chao.
At first I didn't understand why I wanted to change the name.
Later, I checked the dictionary and learned that the Mengzi character, in addition to being a surname, can also refer to the largest representation in the order of brothers and sisters.
Although Meng Chao finally confessed, he said that he did not expect to have an afterlife.
However, if there is an afterlife, he should hope that he is a brother and that his sister can become his sister.
In this life, he failed to protect his sister well, hoping that in the next life.
Big Brother Tang.
The final boss of the entire corruption case.
Zhu Fangzheng is to him, is the left one big brother right one big brother.
If you pay attention to the subtitles, you will find that the English subtitles of the movie use "Mayor" to refer to Brother Tang, which in disguise spoils the mayor identity of Brother Tang in advance.
It also makes the audience realize that Zhu Fangzheng is only the tip of the iceberg in the entire corruption case.
There are people outside of people.
Song Yamei.
This third person, in the mouth of the ex-wife, is "a beautiful fart, a beautiful hammer."
When Wen Xiaoyu went to the song hall to see Song Yamei, her heavy makeup was bright and had nothing to do with Beauty and Ya.
However, I don't know if you have noticed a detail.
Wen Xiaoyu flipped out Song Yamei's wallet, which contained a group photo of her and her father when they went to college.
It turned out that Song Yamei also had a simple and beautiful appearance.
That smile deserves to be beautiful, it deserves elegance.
What happened to her to become what she is today?
The movie doesn't tell us the answer, but the more you think about it, the more you feel sorry.
Oh yes, at that time, the first thing I really didn't come out of was Wan Qian.
In addition, the only character without a name in the movie is Wen Liang's ex-wife.
Because she is the epitome of the toiling women in today's society.
02
Say the character's name.
Let's talk about a few of them.
The most impressive thing is naturally Zhu Fangzheng, played by Teacher Fan Wei, who was blown up by everyone.
It can be said that Teacher Fan Wei single-handedly saved the plot of the second half of the plot that was discouraged in advance because of the truth and early revelation.
The role of Zhu Fangzheng is also the most fully shaped role in the whole film, and there is no one.
Teacher Fan Wei plays this kind of character with a sinister and vicious appearance on the outside, and several shots make people look cold in the back.
Even, after Teacher Fan Wei finished his own performance, he had nightmares when he slept that day.
Bluntly say "too scary".
Not a murder scene, but a smile.
It was the smile that came out of the heavy rain.
From the beginning, the film did not intend to let the "werewolf" Zhu Fangzheng hide until the end.
Instead, through various details, it is implied that he is the middleman who wanders between good and evil.
After the bridge broke, the masses petitioned to ask for an explanation.
When Zhu Fangzheng was comforting the masses, he was sincere and sincere, and he looked like a parent and official who asked for the people's life.
After the crowd left, when only the secretary was left next to him, Zhu Fangzheng immediately raised his face, and his eyes skimmed a trace of evilness.
In the official arena, Zhu Fangzheng always liked to quote Zeng Guofan to teach his subordinates.
The historical Zeng Guofan is one of the four famous ministers of ZTE, and is good at talking about "morality" and "benevolence".
But Zhu Fangzheng likes Zeng Guofan, more like "Ye Gong Good Dragon", as a model.
Zhu Fangzheng's living room hangs a plaque with the words "Tampo Mingzhi", which is in stark contrast to his corruption.
In addition, the river view room where he lived could just see the broken bridge.
He said he was afraid to see The Light, but he had been able to see the place where the Light was buried every day for the past eight years.
And he can still smoke calmly on the balcony.
You say, does he really feel a little guilty about Wen Liang?
Moreover, Wen Xiaoyu sneaked into the study where he slept, and Zhu Fangzheng purred all over the sky, which was a little sleep disorder.
His hands were obviously stained with blood, but his family still dared to offer Buddha statues and smoke moxa sticks.
Self-deception leads to the idea that this will purge oneself of one's sins.
The more the plot goes on, the more you can see Zhu Fangzheng's old treacherous giant.
He seems to have anticipated that sooner or later the police will find him, and in the process of talking to the police, he portrays himself as a kind father deceived by his ignorant adopted daughter.
The performance of the seven emotions, as a wife, Zhang Hui could not watch it.
As Zhu Fangzheng's wife, Zhang Hui knew how to advance and retreat, knew how to measure up, and used the practice of "Baduanjin" as a vent to suppress the emotions in her heart.
For the sake of glory and wealth and the future of her son, she chose to turn a blind eye to the sins on the pillow.
In the final explosion of the scene, at the moment of life and death, Zhu Fang was facing Meng Chao with an output: stray dog, poor boy, little hooligan and other words.
A lot of people see this scene and think it's funny, think there's something wrong with the line design, and in such a serious atmosphere, the character shouldn't say such things.
But I felt that at this moment, Zhu Fangzheng finally did not have to pretend.
He used to be a hypocrite, but he was actually a real villain.
There was another detail before, he asked his subordinates to speak Mandarin, which can be seen that Zhu Fangzheng has been trying to hide his inner essence.
He was not a noble man himself, but in a high position, he had to try to maintain an elegant image.
Zhu Fangzheng said to Wen Xiaoyu that he did not have any feelings at all.
He invited Wen Xiaoyu to come to celebrate his birthday, but he also moved his heart of compassion, and did not prepare a wine glass dipped in poison for Wen Xiaoyu at the first time.
When he learned of Wen Xiaoyu's determination, he began to kill.
Tie together the sculpture of Wen Xiaoyu and Wen Liang, and plan to sink the river together.
For his own sake, he can sacrifice everyone.
The role of Wen Xiaoyu should have been the richest image in the whole movie.
However, it has become the most serious one that has been complained about by everyone.
Obviously, there is a U disk with all the evidence of Zhu Fangzheng's crime, but he does not call the police.
The audience was puzzled by the matter.
Wen Xiaoyu's emotional line and inner entanglement should have been the most complex, the most attractive to the audience, and the most able to reflect the pull between human nature and morality.
I don't know if it's the script or if Ma Sichun didn't perform.
She smelled both hatred and love for her father.
When I was a child, I heard the news of my father's cheating from my mother's mouth, and at that time, Wen Xiaoyu also had some hatred for her father.
Until her father's bones were exposed, Wen Xiaoyu turned from hatred to doubt, she would feel that she had blamed her father for not being wrong, and her father did not elope with his lover.
Whether wen Liang has cheated in the end, the movie does not give an accurate answer, more like a "Schrödinger".
Zhu Fang was shouting at Wen Liang at the construction site, "Didn't I wipe the shit of your ass for you?" ”
But what Wen Liang said was, "I have already made it clear with her." ”
I prefer that the relationship between the two should be above youda, and it is emotional and polite.
But in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them just have a leg.
Perhaps Zhu Fangzheng was good at advocating to take Song Yamei away.
The film presents the father-daughter relationship between Wen Liang and Wen Xiaoyu, there is only a scene of cycling, and the emotional preparation is not enough.
Wen Xiaoyu's feelings for Zhu Fangzheng are also both love and hate.
Eight years after her father disappeared, Zhu Fangzheng regarded her as his own, making up for her lack of fatherly love.
Later, when she heard from Meng Chao that her father's death was strange, she asked Zhu Fangzheng for confirmation, but Zhu Fangzheng tried to avoid this matter and made Wen Xiaoyu suspicious.
Until he saw gan Xiaoyang's death with his own eyes. She finally sought the truth.
So she transferred all her hatred to Zhu Fangzheng.
Why did Wen Xiaoyu have to kill Zhu Fangzheng personally?
It has to do with her personality.
At the beginning of the movie, she sat alone in the canteen and ate with headphones on, obviously not wanting to integrate into the collective life, and her personality was somewhat withdrawn.
Later, she went to find Song Yamei, and Song Yamei said, "How do you look like your father?" ”
Therefore, she is as stubborn as Wen Liang's personality, and she can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes.
The more stubborn a person is, the more idealistic his heart is.
It was understandable that she wanted to personally hand blade Zhu Fangzheng to avenge her father.
As for why he did not choose to call the police, it should be Meng Chao's sake.
Once the police intervene, they are bound to find out what happened to Meng Chao and him before, and they will lose Meng Chao because of it.
At the end of the movie, the relationship between Wen Xiaoyu and Meng Chao is defined as love, and to be honest, I am not very satisfied.
These two people are more of an emotional bond of mutual attachment.
It's the kind of emotional bond that's not related by blood but more like a family in "Thief Family."
But the film handles the emotional changes between the two people very sloppily, and the audience does not feel how deep the feelings between the two are at all.
If the film can have more space to show the details of the two people's relationship, and can really make the audience feel the mutual watch of the two, they will not be confused by her choice not to call the police.
Wen Xiaoyu's mother, listening to rumors, divorced Wen Liang and abandoned Wen Xiaoyu.
After remarrying, life was not satisfactory.
The second husband is a hand-throwing treasurer, and her son and the family's affairs are all handled by her hard work.
A smile never appeared on her face.
Although she knew that Wen Liang had been killed for eight years, she preferred to believe that Wen Liang's cheating was true.
Only with hatred can you dispel the chagrin that you have a bad life after your second marriage.
She did not want to see Xiao Yu, and she also did not want her daughter to see her own unbearable.
Song Yamei, Meng Chao's sister, Gan Xiaoyang, Blueberry...
The female characters in "Broken Bridge" have their own fates and misfortunes, and none of them hold the so-called "big heroine" script.
They may not have the ability to change their lives against the sky, but they all strive to prove to the world that they have truly lived, lived, and died.
03
Finally, let's talk about some other details of the movie:
The original title of the movie was "Xanadu".
Song Yamei's song hall is also called "Xanadu".
In Song Yamei's words, "Zhu Fangzheng doesn't know here." ”
It is a metaphor for this is an unearthly place without sin.
Meng Chao fled for eight years, and for the first time, he unloaded his defenses here and returned to Zhang Qingdong.
Song Yamei is obviously a high-quality student in the department of architecture, but in the end she can only hide here, representing a kind of stubbornness to the end of idealism.
Fish, in multiple lines and scenes, appear.
The scene where Zhu Fangzheng kills a fish has at least three layers of metaphors.
The fish on the board refers to Wen Xiaoyu, who believes that He xiaoyu cannot escape his palm.
Later, he took out the tool for frying the fish, referring to Gan Xiaoyang as the fish that was fried.
When he saw the police, he held a dead fish in his hand, indicating that Meng Chao was no different from a dead fish in his eyes, and there was no need to be afraid.
