Jiang Wen is definitely a movie ghost, especially his "Let the Bullets Fly" filmed 11 years ago, there are too many metaphors and too many dark lines.
And 11 years later, I re-watched "Let the Bullets Fly" and finally understood one of the biggest questions in the play.
That is, Master Tang, played by Ge You, when he was dying, what exactly did he want to say to Zhang Mazi.
Let's start with the second thing Master Tang wants to say.
In fact, this second thing Master Tang did not say or say before he died, the reason is that his smile really explains everything, he said: "Who, do you remember?" ”
A lewd smile, so being able to tell that the person he was referring to must be a woman.
And he did not say the name, but directly mentioned "who", in fact, it proves that this woman is a person that Zhang Mazi knows.
And "Let the Bullets Fly" the whole film has a name and a surname, and there are only two women whose roles are quite important, one is the county magistrate's wife played by Liu Jialing, but she has died a long time ago; the other is the famous prostitute Hua Jie in Goose City.
So I think the second thing Master Tang wants to say is to tell Zhang Mazi that in fact, he and Sister Hua are fine, and it is not only him, but the third elder has also been pulled over by Sister Hua.
Why I am sure that Master and Sister Hua are all right, in addition to the obscene smile he had before he died, there is the most important proof.
Those were the two diamonds in the hands of the fake Zhang Mazi.
On the surface, the diamond in the hand of the fake Zhang Mazi was snatched by the Dao that he had intercepted master Tang's wife and son.
However, this is not the case.
And here, I have to sort out the circulation of these two diamonds.
At first, the two diamonds were in Huang Shilang's hand, and he gave them to Zhang Mazi, but they were brought home by Master Tang.
In the evening, Zhang Mazi returned home and took the two diamonds back from Master Tang's hand.
Since then, Master Tang has been thinking about these two diamonds.
And at this time, Master Tang suddenly appeared with an original wife, an eldest son.
At that time, Zhang Mazi gave 2 gems to Master Tang's wife, and since then these two diamonds have fallen into the hands of Master Tang's wife and son.
Then there was the fake mazi robbery, and the gem was snatched from Master Tang's wife and children.
It seems that the circulation of this gem is perfect.
However, the actual situation is that Master Tang's wife and children are simply the trustees he invited to deceive Zhang Mazi.
After all, who would believe that an eight-year-old son would grow so tall?
Therefore, understanding this layer, in fact, I also understand that at this time, the gem should be back in the hands of the master.
And then there is the most wonderful layer of gems circulating, when The flower sister and the second and third elders are playing, Huang Silang brought someone over to prepare to clean up the second and third elders.
But Sister Hua came out with a box at this time, and Huang Silang saw the box, turned around and left.
Why did Huang Silang let go of the second and third elders when he saw the box?
The reason is that this box contains 2 diamonds, and the meaning of returning these 2 diamonds to Huang Silang is to tell Huang Silang that the master has been taken down by her, and the second and third elders in front of her are also being attacked by her.
As soon as Huang Silang saw that Sister Hua was so powerful, he instantly pulled all of Zhang Mazi's men over, and there was no need for him to kill people anymore, after all, they were all his own people.
So that's the second thing Master Tang wanted to say before he died.
That is, Hua Jie is undercover, she is Huang Silang's person, and now she has drawn everyone over.
This is why Master Tang advised Zhang Mazi not to go to Goose City, people are going to die, and his heart is also good, he really does not want to see Zhang Mazi go to die.
Because Zhang Mazi is alone and can't really play Huang Silang.
As for the first thing Master Tang wants to say, in fact, everyone can guess it, that is, the death of the second elder.
At the beginning, Sister Hua wanted to win over the second and third elders at the same time.
But what Sister Hua did not expect was that the second brother did not like women at all, so the final result was that the third brother who liked women was pulled over by Sister Hua, and the fate of the second brother was to go out of the city to do the reception, but was killed by the fake Zhang Mazi.
As for the news of who betrayed the second brother to go out of the city, the master may be, and the third brother may also be.
After all, at this time, they are all flower sisters.
And this is also the reason why Master Tang wants to start from the second thing, because only by saying the second thing, that is, he is the person who is The Flower Sister; can he clearly explain why he told the Flower Sister the news that the second elder was out of the city.
As for the reason why Master Tang said these things to Zhang Mazi before he died, it can be summed up as a sentence he said:
Don't go back to Goose City, you can't play Huang Silang.
At this time, he was going to die, and he really had feelings for Zhang Mazi, and he really wanted to persuade Zhang Mazi to take the money and run away, there was no need to send him to death.
However, this is also a superficial understanding, in my opinion, before the scheming Master Tang died, it seems to have put Zhang Mazi together.
Because he knows Zhang Mazi as a person, jealousy and hatred, the more you don't let him do anything, he has to do it.
Before his death, Master Tang persuaded Zhang Mazi to be soft, and persuaded Zhang Mazi to kneel down and earn money, as if he was deliberately provoking Zhang Mazi's fighting spirit.
Master Tang did this with two birds with one stone, whether it was Zhang Mazi or Huang Silang, his mouth was his "benefactor", in fact, he was the person he wanted to kill.
So no matter whether in the end Zhang Mazi killed Huang Silang, or Huang Silang killed Zhang Mazi, it was all in accordance with his presuppositions, enough, before dying, you can still put them together, for Master Tang, it is indeed enough.
Of course, the above are some of my most superficial understanding of this "Let the Bullets Fly", and everyone will definitely have their own views on Jiang Wen's divine work.
Especially the five letters of appointment in Master Tang's pocket, I really haven't made a fuss, after all, these five letters of appointment are all in Huang Silang's hands, how did it end up in Master Tang's pocket?
