Those who have experienced great loneliness and great despair will understand the great tenacity and great wisdom that " Wind " gives you.
—— Maijia
Do you still remember the movie "The Wind" starring Zhou Xun , Li Bingbing , Zhang Hanyu , Huang Xiaoming and Su Youpeng 13 years ago? I think many people's answer is yes.
because this is an excellent and classic spy film.
is not only impressed by the superb acting skills of the actors in the film, but also attracted by the ups and downs and full of suspense. The most important thing is to be deeply shocked by the belief and tenacity of the old ghosts and old guns represented by Gu Xiaomeng.
, especially Gu Xiaomeng 's monologue at the end of the film, too many viewers bluntly said that they cried:
"I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that the people I love do not know why I died. I am in purgatory. I am writing this record in the hope that my family and Sister Yu will forgive my decision at the moment. But I firmly believe that you will eventually understand my feelings. My dear people, I am so ruthless to you, because the nation has come to the end of life, I You can only save yourself in case. My body is about to perish, but my soul will be with you. The enemy will not understand, old ghost , old gun is not a person, but a kind of spirit, a kind of belief ."
13 years later, after reading the original book of the same name, Mai Jia's "The Sound of the Wind", I found that many details in the original book shocked me, and in a trance I thought I had watched a "fake film" in the past.
1, Gu Xiaomeng are not old ghosts, Li Ningyu is the real old ghost. In the
film, Zhou Xun plays Gu Xiaomeng, a wealthy girl whose father sent a plane to the Wang Jingwei government, and she is a staff member of the intelligence department of the Wang puppet agency, and her boss is Li Ningyu, the section chief.
When Captain Wu was beaten to death by being suspected of being an underground party, Li Ningyu took the initiative to find Japanese Takeda and revealed that Gu Xiaomeng was the old ghost.
In the end, Gu Xiaomeng died, Captain Wu was rushed to the hospital for treatment, and the information was successfully sent out at this moment.
It turns out that Gu Xiaomeng, who was least suspected by Takeda at the beginning, is the old ghost the enemy has been looking for.
However, in the original novel, the real old ghost is not Gu Xiaomeng. She appears to be a member of the Wang puppet government, but is actually a spy of the Chongqing military. The real old ghost turned out to be Li Ningyu.
Moreover, among the five people who were questioned by Qiu Zhuang, Li Ningyu was fighting alone to send out information, without the help of a comrade-in-arms like Captain Wu.
Li Ningyu was suspected by Takeda to be an old ghost. During the interrogation, she deliberately angered the other party, implying that if she died, she would be wronged by Takeda's humiliation. After returning to the room, he left three suicide notes and died of poison.
Among them, one suicide note is to Commander Zhang, showing his loyalty to the Wang puppet government:
The other one is to Takeda (Fihara is Takeda in the original book), accusing himself of being wrongfully persecuted to death:
and another one It was for her husband. Of course, this "husband" was arranged by the organization, and it was actually her brother who pretended to be her brother, but Li Ningyu was indeed married and had children. In the sketch, the grasses of different lengths are actually a set of Morse code, which translates as " quick report, be sure to cancel the group hero meeting! ".
This painting became the evidence for Gu Xiaomeng to expose Li Ningyu's identity, which gave Gu Xiaomeng a chance to go home, and finally let Li Ningyu take the opportunity of Gu Xiaomeng to leave Qiu Zhuang, and successfully sent it again with the drug shell.intelligence.
2, Captain Wu was an enemy, not an old ghost. He was beaten to death in Qiuzhuang due to his colleague Wang Tianxiang's revenge. Captain Wu, played by Zhang Hanyu in the
film, is called the leader of the bandit suppression, but he is actually an underground party. In order to cover him for sending information, Gu Xiaomeng pretended to report that he was an old ghost, saying that he saw him drop a cigarette with Morse code during a dinner party on the rooftop.
Captain Wu was severely tortured for this. Finally, because Gu Xiaomeng was exposed by Li Ningyu as an old ghost, he was able to escape and left Qiu Zhuang alive.
However, in the original work, Captain Wu is neither an old ghost nor an underground party, but a genuine enemy.
He is the first object to be questioned, and he is also the old ghost that Takeda and Wang Tianxiang firmly believe. Therefore, when Wang Tianxiang was tortured to extract a confession, he was ruthless, thinking that as long as Captain Wu gave the confession, the task would be successfully completed.
As a result, Captain Wu kept shouting injustice and threatened to kill Wang Tianxiang when he left Qiuzhuang. Afraid of retribution, Wang Tianxiang beat Captain Wu to death.
3, the information was not spread by Captain Wu singing Peking Opera " Empty City Plan ", but 3 black plastic medicine shells containing stomach nourishing pills.
A lyric from the Peking Opera "Empty City" played a key role in the film. The first time
was the night they stayed in Qiu Zhuang, Captain Wu sang on the balcony, Gu Xiaomeng learned that he was also a comrade, and the two knew each other's identities.
The second time, when Captain Wu was sent to the hospital for treatment, he sang again and successfully sent the information out.
However, there is no such paragraph in the original work, and the information was finally sent out, relying on the three black plastic medicine shells that Gu Xiaomeng threw on the road from the car.
Li Ningyu has a bad stomach and often eats a kind of Hu Ji Yangwei Pill, which is packed in a round plastic shell for moisturizing. Before she died, she packed the information in 3 medicine shells.
and 3 medicine shells were thrown by Gu Xiaomeng on the road home. She was rewarded by Takeda for exposing Li Ningyu, an old ghost, for a trip home.
finally, disguised as an underground party that collected garbage and contacted Li Ningyu, and received information.
4, the most touching "cheongsam" plot does not exist, nor does the deep love between Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu. In the
video, Li Ningyu returned to the room after receiving the most devastating interrogation, and suddenly deceived Gu Xiaomeng. Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaomeng revealed his true identity frankly, and he was the old ghost the enemy was looking for.
Li Ningyu angrily wanted to expose her, because Gu Xiaomeng almost lost her life, but she scolded her and cried, because the two always got along like sisters, Li Ningyu couldn't be ruthless after all.
However, Gu Xiaomeng pleaded with Li Ningyu tearfully, and took the initiative to tell Takeda the truth, and silently sewed her heartfelt words to Li Ningyu, as early as when she pretended to mend her cheongsam, and sewed it on the placket in the form of Morse code.
And the secret of this cheongsam, Li Ningyu didn't know it from Captain Wu until after liberation. When she was sitting in a dim room, reading Gu Xiaomeng's last words while touching her cheongsam, she burst into tears...
At that moment, Li Ningyu was more than grief-stricken, and we outside the screen were equally grieved, especially when we heard Gu Xiaomeng's narration :
"I'm not afraid of death, what I'm afraid of is that the people I love don't know why I died...My dear people, I am so ruthless to you, just because the nation has come to the point of life and death, I can only do everything I can to save my life. In case..."
However, in the original book, Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng are not so sisterly.
Although Gu Xiaomeng passed on Li NingyuShe helped her in the process of intelligence, but only under the threat of Li Ningyu, she did it. Because Li Ningyu holds the evidence that Gu Xiaomeng's father, daughter, snake and rat are the grass on the wall.
ostensibly work for the Wang puppet government, but they are actually members of the Chongqing Military Command. If Takeda knows this, he will not survive.
Moreover, Li Ningyu also imitated Gu Xiaomeng's handwriting, and wanted to find a substitute. Gu Xiaomeng, who knew the truth, was half-dead with anger.
Therefore, Li Ningyu can finally ask Gu Xiaomeng to help her send information. There is no such touching friendship factor as the leading factor in the film, but only the cruelty of the struggle.
However, I have to mention that Gu Xiaomeng is finally willing to help Li Ningyu, and there is another reason, which is what she said: her admiration for Li Ningyu, the tenacity of fighting alone but still determined to send information , Dedication...
5, Japanese officer Takeda died at the hands of his own Gu Xiaomeng, not the underground party captain Wu. At the end of the
film, Takeda was killed by Captain Wu before returning to China. He not only avenged Gu Xiaomeng, his comrade-in-arms, but also avenged the thousands of Chinese compatriots who died in the war of resistance.
However, in the original book, Takeda died at the hands of Gu Xiaomeng, a military commander who worked for the Wang puppet government. She spent 4 gold bars and asked someone to kill Takeda. As for the reason, Gu Xiaomeng did not say clearly, and it became a mystery left to everyone.
After a lapse of 13 years, after reading the original "The Wind" in one breath, I couldn't help but watch the movie again. Although the two are quite different in many plots and details, they still cannot hide the fact that they are both classics.
is very fortunate. Fortunately, there are light, shadow and words, so that we in a peaceful age can see the cruelty of war and the years when our ancestors fought bloody battles, so that we can cherish and appreciate this hard-won happy life even more!
