"Article 20" is on fire! The People's Daily praises Zhang Yimou by name! In the future, Zhang Yimou can no longer be underestimated

I dare say that many people didn't expect this to be the result.

Zhang Yimou's new movie is popular again.

Moreover, it is still not a pure Chinese New Year movie.

The domestic realism film "Article 20" was released during the Spring Festival, and according to the latest professional platform estimates, the final box office result of "Article 20" may reach as much as 2.3 billion, which is greatly unexpected.

Come to think of it, before the start of this year's Chinese New Year, many people, including my friends, are not optimistic about Zhang Yimou's "Article 20", thinking that the film is not a comedy movie, with a realistic theme, everyone doesn't like to watch it during the New Year, who doesn't want to have fun during the New Year!

As a result, many netizens look down on "Article 20" and Zhang Yimou's commercial films, thinking that Zhang Yimou may fall behind this year.

However, everyone has also seen the real situation, Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" not only did not fall behind, but the box office data also fell at the box office for many consecutive days.

By the sixth day of release, the film has already had a counterattack trend, as if it is going to become the first dark horse in 2024.

And, more importantly, Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" is not only liked by the audience. The People's Daily also took the initiative to interview the Supreme People's Procuratorate and issued a special article to praise them by name.

In the search for a balance between emotion and reason, public order and good customs, and laws and regulations, Article 20 explores the true answer to fairness and justice in the hearts of the people.

According to the content of the movie, the Supreme People's Procuratorate extended to the purpose of judicial personnel in handling cases, and one sentence impressed me the most.

We are not handling cases, but other people's lives.

After reading the whole article, it can be said that the words are sharp, and every sentence speaks to the hearts of the audience, which arouses strong resonance and instant empathy.

So, how can Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" have such treatment?

I think the 4 advantages of the film are important reasons, and I will briefly talk to you about it next.

1: Significant

Come to think of it, other movies may be publicity gimmicks at the beginning, or how bizarre the story is and how dense the jokes are.

Either that, how strong the cast is, how solid the actors' acting skills are, and how eye-catching. And this "Article 20", first of all, the name of the movie is not ordinary, and it is of great significance.

I believe that many viewers who don't know much about this movie will wonder how they could have such a name when they see the name of the movie.

At first glance, it's a bit confusing.

However, if you know a little bit about the law, or if you know a little bit about the law, you will instantly know what the title means.

That's right, the title of "Article 20" actually refers to Article 20 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, and this Article 20 is a legal interpretation of "legitimate defense".

To be honest, I don't know much about the law, but I know that for most ordinary people, normal life, there may not be many legal problems.

However, as soon as the words "justifiable defense" came out, everyone instantly felt that they were much closer to the law.

Why?

Because, in real life, although we ourselves abide by the law, we can't stand some lawbreakers who infringe on ourselves and others.

In this case, how to protect oneself correctly, how to exercise legitimate defense, how to act courageously, and how to help others are more important.

Sometimes, it's not just about protecting one's own life and property, but also about protecting the lives and property of others. It can inspire the people, promote social righteousness, and encourage righteousness and courage!

After watching "Article 20", I like the movie to say a few lines to all the audience through the mouths of the characters.

What is law? It is the principle of heaven, the law of the land, and the favor of humanity.

I don't believe in the law of the land without heavenly principles, nor do I believe in heavenly principles without human feelings."

The law is to make it more expensive for bad people to commit crimes, not to make good people more expensive.

As soon as these words came out, to be honest, I couldn't hide my excitement in an instant, I was speechless and choked, and I let my tears flow during the New Year.

Who said you can't cry during the New Year?

Who said you should watch comedy for the Chinese New Year?

In my opinion, movies that touch people's souls, movies that focus on ordinary people, and movies that are down-to-earth and pyrotechnic are good movies at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the domestic movie that the audience should watch the most, and this is the domestic movie that the audience wants to watch the most.

2: The plot rhythm is tight, and it doesn't drag mud and water

Of course, focusing on realistic themes is the right theme chosen by Article 20. However, in order to really win the favor of the audience, you still have to work on how to tell the story. If not, it will become a stereotyped preaching, and the audience will not like it.

What is the most taboo and hated thing for the audience to watch movies?

Is it water injection?

There are some movies that are obviously well chosen, but when telling the story, they often grind and chirp, drag mud and water, and can't get into the theme after talking for a long time.

Or, in order to lay out some irrelevant story lines, they add emotional scenes that are not matched, resulting in a lengthy and protracted look and feel of the whole movie.

And the biggest advantage of the movie "Article 20" is actually that the plot rhythm is tight, and it does not drag on at all.

After watching this 141-minute movie, if you ask me what is my most direct impression, I will say that the plot is tightly paced and clean.

After watching the whole film, there are scenes that make me laugh and tears, and there are also dramatic conflicts that make me cry.

At the same time, and more importantly, I watched it for more than 2 hours in a row, and I kept following the plot without getting distracted at all.

This "Article 20", in cliché words, is really no urine in the whole process, and seeing the ending makes people feel unfinished.

The protagonist of the movie is Han Ming (played by Lei Jiayin), starting with the case of his son's beating, and then leading to school bullying.

Then, starting with Han Ming's handling of his son's fight, the main plot of the whole movie was introduced.

Start with life and move up to work. Then, the work content is progressive, peeling off the cocoon, starting from the simple facts of the case, and exploring the deep-seated human feelings and legal principles step by step, which is thought-provoking.

The whole movie, family education issues, and school bullying are also involved, as well as social fairness and justice, vulnerable groups, etc.

Finally, through multi-line narrative, the contradictions and conflicts are focused on "legitimate defense". It seems that the dramatic conflict is somewhat scattered, but in fact, the plot is compact and the core is gathered, and the same social issue is structured through different cases.

In the face of the victims, whether to help or not, to save or not to help, and to help or not to help those who need help.

Among them, every case told is actually a situation that we are likely to encounter in the lives of ordinary people.

The whole film of "Article 20" uses a comedic tone to tell about serious fairness and justice, which is vivid and lively and deeply touching at the same time. "Article 20" not only raises the problem, but also gives the direction of the solution, which is also the real reason why this movie is out of the circle.

3: All the acting skills are online

The plot story is powerful, and the acting skills of the actors are also indispensable.

The main actors of "Article 20" are Lei Jiayin, Ma Li, Gao Ye, Wang Xiao, Zhang Yi, Yu Hewei, Fan Wei, Pan Binlong, Chen Minghao, Xu Yajun, Li Naiwen, etc. starring and supporting roles, nearly 20 well-known actors helped.

This group of actors is not only famous, but also real acting skills. After watching the whole film, it is not an exaggeration to describe it online with all the acting skills of all the staff.

Even, the young actor Liu Yaowen, who plays Han Ming's son Han Yuchen, has a remarkable performance, with many highlight scenes.

Among the many actors, if you want to ask me whose performance impresses me the most, I will choose Hao Xiuping played by Zhao Liying.

Good guy, when I watched the trailer of "Article 20" before, I thought that Zhao Liying might be in the movie, just a small supporting role, playing tricks.

The show was released just to attract attention.

However, after I watched the feature film, Zhao Liying's performance can be said to have directly refreshed my cognition.

She is a former national idol, a beautiful woman, playing a vulnerable woman of migrant workers, but she didn't expect it to be so similar. With one mouth, a few lines show her line skills.

A crying scene in excitement and panic is also eye-catching.

Previously, when I watched "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", the rural woman she played in the play gave people a somewhat tight impression. And in this "Article 20", the state of the whole person looks extremely relaxed.

In "Article 20", Lei Jiayin can be regarded as a successful completion of the task, and Zhao Liying is the icing on the cake, an unexpected gain for the audience.

4: Zhang Yimou

Seeing this, many viewers will say, "Is Zhang Yimou also the advantage of this movie?"

Yes, in contrast, there is no more striking merit than Zhang Yimou, especially for Article 20.

Why?

Because of the influence!

Zhang Yimou is not only the director of "Article 20", but also a well-known director in China. The films he directed, from the moment they started filming, attracted enough attention.

Of course, this is also where Zhang Yimou's strength lies.

And because of this, it is more appropriate for a story like "Article 20" to be filmed by Zhang Yimou.

Moreover, it is precisely because of Zhang Yimou that "Article 20" dares to be put in the Spring Festival stalls, and he is not afraid of competition at all.

A good script needs an excellent director to show his charm, and obviously, this time Zhang Yimou did it again.

After watching "Article 20", what impressed me the most in the whole movie was empathy, followed by the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the characters in the film.

It's only over 2 hours long, but I feel like half my life has passed. Looking back now, one image after another is still very clear.

Many years ago, Zhang Yimou filmed "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", which hit the hearts of the audience, and many years later, he came up with "Article 20", which is also resonant.

The people's pursuit of fairness and justice that the film wants to express reflects the people's most simple desire for life.

Good people are rewarded, and bad people must be punished.

I believe that after watching "Article 20", the audience can find the shadow of life. Moreover, it is very likely that it will also help some people, which may be the real meaning of Article 20!

Epilogue:

To sum up, the four advantages of "Article 20" are superimposed, and there is the support of the audience, it is really difficult not to be popular!

Again, once again, I recommend this Article 20 to everyone. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you try it, and after reading it, you'll come back and thank me.

During the Spring Festival this year, did you go to see "Article 20"?
