It's been a few days since I watched Cockfighter.
The arrogant and perverted little hair in the movie always comes out of his mind from time to time.
Such a bright color, it is difficult to forget.
Zhang Yu played Xiao Mao, who was about twenty years old, and was twenty-eight years old at that time.
Even though he was young, the performance was as sophisticated as he is now.
Relying on the identity of the rich second generation of the coal boss, he has the final say in the world.
This character has the arrogance of ignoring everything, and has the temperament of ignorance at this age.
There are no laws and no rules, and how things are done depends entirely on his mood.
Carry bodyguards and guns at all times, and run amok.
The lines in it are also very yellow and violent.
"Tell the old guard that I want his girlfriend."
At every turn, the Henan dialect is "I am your mother".
Nothing to wipe down the lip balm, I don't know if it is a detail that Zhang Yu came up with in order to enrich the role. (Because I think of the scene in "The Unknown Generation" in which the glasses look at the Zhuyin version of "Water Margin" was designed by himself (why I think it is so funny to buy it on Taobao).)
The character is typical, the father of the coal boss controls everything in the town, all the administrative organs are bought to open the way for him, and the lawless Xiao Mao is always the ultimate manifestation of this power.
The totalitarian "horizontal" and the unknown height of this age are the ultimate unity of Xiao Mao's body.
Zhang Yu performs this sense of layering, "horizontal" is a little creepy, and sometimes shows a naïve and inquiring look, and people can't hate it.
Such a character is a tragedy in itself, but also for others and for himself. How arrogant it is when pointing a gun at someone else, and how cowardly it is when it is pointed at someone with a gun.
In the case that the old guard won the cockfight, the little hair who knocked on the medicine always looked crazy and bit the old guard's chicken to death.
Looking at his blog, that scene is really biting, really have to go to the mouth, admiration, that mouth full of blood and smile "one to one" look is very weird and frightening, the violent aesthetics of the camera language is fully reflected, Zhang Yu's performance gives the soul of this character.
I want to say a lot, but I can't say it, I am interested in making up for it, it is enjoyable and exciting.
In the end, the lonely old guard did not change anything, because of a little kindness, the gun that only contained five bullets did not kill Xiao Maozong, and finally ended in the tragedy of the old guard abandoning his armor and surrendering.
In this land, it is not impossible for such a story to happen, and in the end, the old guard's powerless resistance reflects this cruel reality. Therefore, this film is absolutely impossible to release in China.
However, thanks to the director, let us see that such a realistic and powerful film can also be made in China, and thanks to Zhang Yu and a group of actors for dedicating such a wonderful performance.
