Do you understand I Am Not Wang Mao ?

There is a saying that mocks fools, saying, "Don't let people sell you, you still help count the money!" ”。The dog in the movie did just that, and more than once, he sold himself three times.

The impoverished dog needs twenty dollars of ocean leftovers. With this money, he will be able to fulfill his wish to build a house and marry a wife. For this, he sold himself.

For the first time, he sold himself to a warlord and brought back four oceans. In the scuffle, he pretended to be dead and escaped and returned home, to his surprise, because of his "war death", his adoptive parents actually received an additional pension of four oceans. This back and forth is a huge sum of eight oceans.

Goyu found a shortcut to make his dream come true quickly: sell himself. So, he repeated his old trick and sold himself twice.

The second time, he sold himself to the Imperial Army. The third time, he "sold" himself to the New Fourth Army. <>

We feel absurd, perhaps accompanied by pity, for the opportunistic ways of making money from dogs. There is an old saying: If you learn literature and martial arts, you will be able to sell goods to the emperor's family.

This sentence comes from a miscellaneous drama "Pang Juan Walks the Maling Road at Night" by an anonymous man in the Yuan Dynasty, which means: "Whether you have learned literary talents or martial arts, the ultimate goal is to contribute to the emperor and contribute to the imperial court." Mr. Nan Huaijin likes to talk about history and life, he said:

Mencius can't sell it, and Kong Yu can't sell it, and it is recorded in the Analects that Confucius said:"Sell! Sell!

I'll treat Jia too. "As a result, when it comes to the mobile stalls, it still can't be sold, and it will always be a grieved look. The same is true for people in the present and in the future, when they can't sell it, they are very pitiful.

This is the appearance of the world. In the past, the learned literary and martial arts were sold to the emperor's family. What now?

It is sold to industrial and commercial tycoons and big capitalists. Chinese intellectuals have been like this for thousands of years. "A lot of times, we are in a puzzle, and when we look back and think about it, maybe it is ourselves who should be pitied.

This is a work that is unique in terms of story and technique. In terms of the story, the protagonist Wang Mao is a deserter who is accustomed to escaping from the battlefield, which is significantly different from the image of Wei Guangzheng in those war movies we usually see. In terms of shooting, this is a film made with black and white pictures, which allows the audience to better immerse themselves in the absurdity and bizarre of that era, and at the same time gives people a deep sense of age, which can be regarded as some new attempts made by the creative staff.

The advantages of the film are very prominent, first of all, the character of Wang Mao was played quite brilliantly by Wang Dazhi. The joys and sorrows of little people are a topic that we always talk about, but it is quite rare to really do it like Wang Mao in many film and television works. Wang Mao kept repeating the process of being a soldier, making money, running away, returning home, and waiting for the next conscription.

At a certain point in time, his life formed a perfect closed-loop structure, and by being a deserter, he also managed to save a lot of money.

Such a thing is full of absurdity and deviance, and it may happen if it is put under real historical conditions, but it cannot be as dramatic as the film. First, the war environment at that time did not allow it, and secondly, because of the chaos of war, and the fact that they were not fighting at the entrance of their own village every day, how could it be so easy to escape back?

But putting aside the flaw of the film, in the treatment of the ending, this movie still brings a rather shocking contrast effect. Wang Mao, who has been a deserter all his life, is in order to save money to marry his beloved girl. But when the enemy wanted to take away his last hope, he did not choose to walk away as before, but resolutely rushed forward and fought to the death.

This unique flash of human nature is also portrayed very vividly, and it is also one of the reasons why this ** can move the audience.

It's a pity that because of various factors such as film scheduling and publicity, the final box office performance of this movie was not ideal. I hope this will not dampen the creative enthusiasm of the creators, Chinese films need this kind of genre films to fill, only in this way can we be fortunate to see the various states of life from different perspectives. Finish.
