I have observed a very interesting phenomenon. The Zhang Zhehan incident triggered netizens to reminisce about Jiang Wen's movie " Guizi is Coming ".
In fact, Jiang Wen's directorial works are not many, there are only 6 full play, but this does not prevent him from becoming China's top director.
It is undeniable that Jiang Wen's films have a very unique personal style, romance and wildness, subversion and rebellion, ridicule "Orthodox", etc., can be found in his movies, such as "The Devil Is Coming".
"The Devil Is Coming" is Jiang Wen's second director's work, which was released in May 2000, with a Douban score of 9.3. The
movie sets the background during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It tells the story of Ma Dasan (Jiang Wen), a farmer in Gujiatai Village, Hebei Province, who lived a peaceful life under the rule of the Japanese.
One night, the guerrillas kidnapped the Japanese army soldier Hanaya Kosaburo ( Kagawa Teruzhi) and the translator Dong Hanchen, tied them into sacks and placed them in Ma Junior’s house, and ordered the horses to take good care of them. A few days later, the New Year’s Eve Thirty to bring people.
So, Ma Dasan (played by Jiang Wen) and the villagers trembled and served them deliciously.
Hanaya Kosaburo and Dong Hanchen issued distress signals several times, but they were all resolved by the villagers. However, on the Lunar New Year's Day, no one came to ask Hanaya Kosaburo and Dong Hanchen.
Half a year has passed. The villagers are worried that things will be exposed and bring bad luck to the villagers, but they dare not release the flower house. After all, letting the tiger go back to the mountain will cause endless troubles.
However, under Dong Hanchen's flicker and for the sake of livelihood, Ma Dasan and the villagers eventually sent the flower house and Dong Hanchen to the Japanese military police station in exchange for food.
Japanese gendarmerie officer Shuzuka Tokichi is a fellow of Hanaya Kosaburo. On the surface, he was polite to Ma Dasan and others, but turned around and accused Hanaya, saying that he had put the imperial army to shame and beat him. The
Jiuzuka brainwashed Hanaya in this way:
Your name has been engraved in the Yasukuni Shrine, and I have told your father, but now you come back alive, you have embarrassed our village and embarrassed the imperial army.
It is worth noting that at this time, Sakuzuka Inoyoshi has received a telegram of Japan’s defeat and surrender.
However, Jiuzuka Tokichi ordered the gendarmerie team to send grains to the villagers of Gujiatai Village and the villagers. When the wine was full, Jiuzuka ordered to slaughter all the villagers of Gujiatai Village. The cunning and viciousness of the
wine mound is a microcosm of the Japanese invaders. An ironic scene of
came out. When the surviving Ma Dasan rushed into the prison camp to avenge his revenge, the arrester turned out to be the national army, and the national army convicted him.
And the one who chopped off his head was the flower house where he couldn't bear to kill.
In "The Devil Is Coming", we saw the ignorance, kindness, and bravery of the villagers in Mr. Lu Xun's dying countryside, as well as the real Japanese soldiers who were greedy for life, fear of death, treacherous, selfishness and cruelty.
Ma Dasan and the villagers of Guajiatai Village are ignorant and the movie does not shy away from this point.
Back then, one of the reasons why Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming" was banned from broadcasting. One of the reasons was that the film was set in the context of the Anti-Japanese War, but the film did not praise the Chinese people's tenacious resistance to the invaders, but instead highlighted the rural areas. The ignorant, numb, and even servile side of people.
However, don’t forget that in Mr. Lu Xun’s writing, we have seen ignorant and numb citizens, and we have also seen Lu Xun denounce the servility of the people, and shout for the awakening of the people. Jiang Wen’s film only restores this fact.
Ma Dasan and the villagers dare not kill the Japanese soldiers Hanaya, this isThey were afraid of the servility of the Japanese soldiers, but they also indirectly showed their goodness.
The ignorance of Ma Dasan and the villagers is that they naively believe that the Japanese are committed to keeping promises. Therefore, they worked with Hanaya and translator Dong Hanchen to compile a story to describe the "kidnapping" Hanaya as They inadvertently rescued the injured flower house.
In the Chinese concept, people pay attention to the knowledge of knowledge, and Ma Hansan and the villagers naturally think the same is true for the Japanese.
They thought optimistically, a life should be worth a cart of grain, and how many hungry folks can be saved by a cart of grain!
However, what they did not expect was that the Japanese army did not know how to be grateful, and they would not keep their promises. Jiujizuka Tokichi pretended to deliver food, but after the villagers took them to Gujiatai Village, they brutally slaughtered all the villagers. .
Ma Dasan escaped a catastrophe because he sent the fish back to his natal family. When he returned to the village of Hwajiatai, he saw the bodies of the villagers and the burned village.
The innocent and tragic death of the folks inspired Ma Dasan’s bloodliness. We saw that he was alone, with a knife, and entered the Japanese base camp...
Ma Dasan was the ignorant and ignorant, and he was also good and brave. three!
What is wrong with the juniors? They love their homeland and live in peace. It is the war that looted their food, destroyed their homes, and slaughtered their villagers...
and the executioners who started the war are being placed in a place called the Yasukuni Ghost Society for offerings. People worship from generation to generation.
Sadly, there are still people defending the ghost society in this suffering country. I can't understand
, but I was shocked! I can only borrow Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s animated picture to express my mood at the moment:
