"Let the Bullets Fly" is a memorable work, Jiang Wen, known as the "ghost director", has hidden too many metaphors in this film, until now, every time I watch it, I can always find details that I have not noticed before, which may be the reason why we can't stop thinking about this film.
In the film, Master Tang played by Ge You is an extremely important role, of course, this Master Tang was originally supposed to be the governor of Ma Bondoma County who went to Goose City to take office, only because he was robbed by the bandit Zhang Mazi played by Jiang Wen on the way to office, and in a hurry, he was able to resist the identity of the dead Master Tang, because most of the time in the film he was Master Tang, so we also used Old Tang to call him.
And Lao Tang also left us with questions that can be said to make countless viewers think about it, before Lao Tang died, in the face of Zhang Mazi who came to look for him, Lao Tang said:
"Actually, I lied to you about two more things!"
Zhang Mazi replied, "Well, you say, the first thing?" ”
"Let me start with the second thing, who, do you remember?" ......”
Before the old soup finished speaking, he was too badly injured and his soul returned to dust.
So, what exactly are these two things that Lao Tang said?
In fact, we can find some clues from the film.
Judging from Lao Tang's last words, the most informative words are: "Who, do you remember?" Then he must be referring to a person, if it is a few people, it should be said that it is "them", and this person is Lao Tang and Zhang Mazi have both seen, but only once, and have seen it a long time ago, otherwise they will not come up and ask if they "remember".
Therefore, many people on the Internet say that this person refers to "Flower Sister", which must be wrong from the above analysis, because Flower Sister has always been in contact with Zhang Mazi in the second half of the journey, and even before setting out to suppress bandits, Zhang Mazi personally assigned Hua Sister the task of guarding Huang Silang's stand-in.
Then we look at the whole film, the person that Master Tang said may only be a small character who has only appeared once - Dai Yu Qingwenzi.
If we think that Dai Yu Qingwenzi is just an innocuous passerby, it is naturally a big mistake, because a pure passerby character does not need to give her a separate name, not to mention such a name that people can never forget when they hear it.
The importance of this role is far beyond our imagination.
First of all, her behavior is unreasonable, when she appeared, she was holding two diamonds that Huang Silang regarded as a treasure of the heart and liver, but she fell flat on the ground when she walked to Master Tang's side, how could an adult walk and fall?!
At this time, we saw that Master Tang's behavior was also extremely abnormal, and when Master Tang went to help her, he actually secretly kissed her, to know under what circumstances this was made. Master Tang and Zhang Mazi went to Huang Silang's watchtower to feast, surrounded by huang Silang's family, Zhang Mazi dismissed all his brothers, it can be said that this environment is dangerous to Master Tang and Zhang Mazi, a little careless and lose their lives, just in this life-threatening stall, Master Tang can actually be angry with a mane!
What was the reaction of Dai Yu Qingwenzi, who was lightened by Master Tang? He was actually shy, as if he was very happy. Looking at her outfit, she was wearing only a belly pocket, which was less than the flower sister who sold herself in the Qinglou!
See clearly, Dai Yu Qingwenzi is the pawn that Huang Silang used to lure Lao Tang, and it is a pity that Lao Tang is an old rogue with a color character on the head, and he has not resisted at all and has slipped into Huang Silang's trap.
Lao Tang is a typical wall head grass, who can give meat to eat will be called "benefactor", Lao Tang turned to Huang Silang in the middle of the way is certain, there is still one thing to testify.
When Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang's family were on fire in the street, Huang Silang came to find Master Tang and said, "You have at least three words to say to me." ”
Master Tang was sweating profusely and said three sentences:
I shouldn't have given away your diamond.
"Murder is a curse" is what I said.
If it is our invitation, it will be good.
The first sentence is very important, after all, it is related to Lao Tang's own life and death, so we first look at the second sentence, this sentence is to admit mistakes, indicating that we should not oppose Huang Laoye. The third sentence is surrender, I should only look at Huang Laoye. As for this first sentence, we all know that the two diamonds have always been in Zhang Mazi's hands since they were taken from Huang Silang, until Zhang Mazi gave it to Lao Tang's Shanxi daughter-in-law and son, but this happened in the county, and no outsider except Lao Tang's family and Brother Zhang Mazi knew about it!
The first sentence that Lao Tang said at this moment of life and death was actually a secret that seemed to have no effect! It can only be explained that Lao Tang has privately reached a deal with Huang Silang, revealing everything that happened to Zhang Mazi and all the movements of Zhang Mazi's brothers to Huang Silang! That's why he was in a hurry and spit out the only secret feeling he had hidden.
Then, after we get the conclusion that Master Tang and Huang Silang colluded privately, it is not difficult to think of what the first thing Lao Tang wanted to say before he died?
That is, the plan of the second brother to go out of the city to receive was reported to Huang Silang by him!
Because of this, the second brother encountered an ambush after leaving the city and died directly.
Before his death, Lao Tang saw Zhang Mazi who came to care for him, he did not feel a lot of emotions, sorrow came from it, and finally decided to confess his sorry for Zhang Mazi, only to be too seriously injured, only half a sentence was said and he cried out for his life.
As the saying goes, man will die, and his words will be good. May Lao Tang also get a little comfort in his heart at the last moment.
