This is a movie about human nature.
At the beginning of the film, an animated film called "The Invincible Clown Monster" was playing, which almost made me think it was the animal world related to the animated film. Then, the hero's sentence "I'm mentally ill" successfully attracted my interest.
"Really, my brain is really sick, not the kind of disease that can be cured by surgery. This disease is not cured at all. " Arouse readers' interest and set suspense.
Next, the film shows the mental illness of the hero Zheng Kaisi: as long as the mood fluctuates, people in front of them will become monsters and attack themselves. It seems to confirm Zheng Kaisi's "mental illness", and it also emphasizes that people should remember one thing: he is a sick person.
some people say that the beginning of the film feels a bit meaningless; Others say that this special effect bridge is too deliberate, and there is no need to show whether it is sick or not. Many people think that this preparation in front of the film took nearly 3 minutes, which seems to be very procrastinating and cumbersome. I don't agree.
The main plot of the film is to tell the story of a card game of scissors, stone and paper reflecting human nature.
we are familiar with the game of "scissors, stone and cloth" (the rules of the game were described in the last article, so I won't repeat them here). A simple game, played in the "animal world", becomes a deadly game. If you are not careful, you will be dragged to do human experiments, and life is worse than death.
During the game, three people cheated and betrayed the male host, Zheng Kaisi, more than once. After being cheated for the first time, Zheng Kaisi still chose to believe, so he was always cheated for six times.
First of all, Li Jun, his youngest son, gambled away all his possessions when he went to Macau for league construction. He owed a lot of money and couldn't pay it back, so he cheated Zheng Kaisi's parents' house as a mortgage, dragged Zheng Kaisi into the water and asked him to pay off the millions he owed.
in order to clear their loans, they all got on the ferry and played games. When they met, although Zheng Kaisi hated Li Jun for dragging him into this hellhole, he chose to forgive him and worked hard together to win the game and get off the boat safely.
At the end of Li Jun's second deception, Zheng Kaisi traded his life for Li Jun's rebirth, waiting for Li Jun to redeem himself from the dark room, but Li Jun betrayed Zheng Kaisi for money. So many years of brotherly friendship is not worth a bag of money.
The second person is Jingkun Zhang. He suggested that even if two people play the same card, even if it is a tie, there will be three stars after the card is played, so that the loan can be cleared and the boat can be safely disembarked.
Zheng kaisi believed it. The two arranged the cards in the order of scissors, stone and cloth. When the scissors were handed out, Jingkun Zhang changed the card to a stone, saying that he had made a mistake carelessly, and promised: Once again, you will give the stone, and I will give the scissors, so that you can win it back.
Zheng Kaisi still chose to believe that he gave a stone, while Jingkun Zhang gave a cloth instead of scissors. Zheng Kaisi was cheated twice in this way.
The third person is Meng Guoxiang (Meng Xiaopang). Originally, Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun found Meng Xiaopang who had no card in his hand, in order to form a team and form an alliance. Meng Xiaopang said yes, but actually stole Zheng Kaisi's card. That's Zheng Kaisi's card with only one piece of cloth left (according to the plot of the movie, as for the actual irrationality, it was pointed out in the last article). After Meng Xiaopang stole the cards and lost, he begged Zheng Kaisi for mercy, saying that he still had a daughter and a mother with cataract at home, which was very pitiful. Zheng Kaisi chose to forgive him, and still teamed up to get away.
The second time, when Zheng Kaisi was imprisoned in a small black room, Meng Xiaopang, who kept saying that he wanted to trust each other and give his life to Zheng Kaisi, rushed over and took away three stars in Li Jun's hand, taking away Zheng Kaisi's chance of survival and persuading Li Jun to betray his brother together.
So, we usually have a saying: Don't cheat the people around you, because the people who can be cheated by you are all people who trust you.
From the repeated betrayals of those three people, we can see their ugly masks of perfidy and forgetting justice for profit. Who the hell is sick? Yes, in such a world, they are sick.
Zheng Kaisi trusts others too easily, because he believes that people are kind, and that those people are forced to do so only because of reality. He chose forgiveness and tolerance because he believed that they could all turn over a new leaf. But they challenged the bottom line of the kind Zheng Kaisi again and again.
when we are cheated, we are usually angry, and so is the man. Everyone in front of him turned into monsters. He recalled what everyone had said to him, as shown in the figure:

In fact, he also has a faster way to win, and there is a shortcut to victory. When Jingkun Zhang exchanged a star for five cards with Zheng Kaisi, Zheng Kaisi didn't change them. If he changed, he got three stars, and then gave all the cards to two companions, and he was out of danger.
but he didn't do it. Finally, he chose to be a clown with a bottom line of humanity-no matter how mediocre, difficult and down-and-out, he kept himself and stuck to his bottom line:
"I've already fought the right battle. I have run to the end of the road. I believe in the Tao, and I will keep it myself. "
"I'd rather be a clown who cuts through thorns all my life than become a scum like you. The game is yours, but I make the rules myself. Fuck the animal world, I don't believe this. "
The line "I have kept the way I believe" of the animated film "The Invincible Clown Monster" echoes from beginning to end.
Looking back at the opening clip of the movie, I mentioned Zheng Kaisi's emphasis: It is important for you to remember that I am mentally ill. This is not just to set suspense and promote special effects. If you understand the theme expressed in the film, you can know the implication and deepen the theme.
In terms of the knowledge of Chinese we have learned, it is to make a sharp contrast and highlight the image of the hero. Zheng Kaisi, who is mentally ill, is in contrast to ordinary people who are not ill. He is a patient who knows the bottom line of being a man better than ordinary people, adheres to good humanity, and adheres to the morality in his heart, which has shaped an extraordinary image of civilians for us and deepened the theme of "sticking to the bottom line in the case of poverty". From this point of view, the content and structural arrangement of the film are still very reasonable.
there are no waves with the wind, and there is no fear against the wind. This film is only dedicated to you who keep yourself in good times and bad times.
Good movies and books have been guiding me and enriching my experience. Do you believe me? Scan me.
