A major case that shocked society, a destiny-changing accident, a group of persistent people, an extremely firm belief, and a ten-thousand-mile pursuit of the murderer that lasted for twelve years constituted a touching movie "Three Brigade".
The film uses a return-to-nature narrative technique to tell the story of an ordinary hero who has endured hardships and never changed, and brought tears to the film market at the end of the year. Since its release on December 15, it has recorded a box office of 475 million. Some viewers said that the movie touched the kindness and emotions deep in their hearts that had not been touched for a long time, making them choked up.
How to create something new in the familiar police and criminal themes? Throughout the entire film, one true word runs throughout.
The truth of the movie "Brigade Three" first comes from the original story. It is adapted from the documentary literary work "Please tell the Director, the mission of Brigade Three has been completed". The author Shenlan is a grassroots policeman, which ensures the true quality of the story itself. In the original work of
, the entire process of chasing the murderer lasted for twelve years. The text is extremely simple, but in the almost line drawing language, you can still feel the ups and downs and touching people. The protagonist Cheng Bing passes by the suspect several times on the way to chase the murderer. The battle between good and evil, good and evil is gripping. Screenwriter Zhang Ji said that although he remained calm and restrained when writing the script, he still couldn't help crying several times during the writing process. The
movie follows the minimalist style of the original work and abandons many elements of genre films. There is no deliberately reversed routine, no exquisitely designed suspense, and not too many dazzling skills and renderings. Director Dai Mo said that for such a story that is dramatic and full of tension in itself, what is more needed is a true and vivid record.
Another aspect of the movie "The Three Brigades" is really the fireworks of real life, which stems from the reconstruction of the characters. Different from the original protagonist who is a lone hero who travels thousands of miles, the movie "Three Brigades" expands the characters into group portraits: Cheng Bing who is obsessed with death, Xiao Xu who is young and passionate, Cai Bin who is generous and transparent, and Cai Bin who is full of charlatanism. The old horse, the slightly stingy Liao Jian. After the five people experienced an accident and took off their police uniforms, their identities changed into ordinary people. On the way to chase the murderer, they used different occupations as cover, such as air-conditioning repairmen, network administrators, community security guards, barbecue stall owners, taxi drivers, etc. Such character reconstruction is bound to be full of a strong flavor of life. In order to make the characters more believable, the screenwriting team interviewed and experienced different professions appearing in the film, capturing life details, and finally formed a realistic texture. During the filming of

The screenwriter Zhang Ji did a lot of research and interviews in the early stage. For example, when reviewing the work notes of the criminal police, he saw that no one can live in a vacuum, and suspects will always expose clues. This sentence eventually became a line in the movie Milestones.
The authenticity of the movie "The Three Brigades" not only comes from the production level, but also is inseparable from the sincere and touching performances of the actors. Whether it is the captain Cheng Bing played by Zhang Yi, or the team members played by Wei Chen, Cao Bingkun, Wang Xiao, Zhang Zixian, and Yang Xinming, they all have distinctive personalities and a strong atmosphere of little people.
There is a scene in the film where the three teams regroup at the Lao Ma night snack stall. They have experienced great changes in their lives, and it is difficult to return to the turbulent years. When they raise their glasses and sing "Young Aspirations Don't Tell the Sorrows" again, that kind of powerless sadness, that The brotherhood of sharing weal and woe is extremely moving.
It is true and touching, and it is the most appropriate interpretation of the story of the Three Brigades. There is a line in the movie: Behind the big cases, there is all life. The movie not only shows the vicissitudes of the right path in the world, but also vividly shows the ups and downs. As netizens commented, the movie "The Three Brigades" not only tells the story of solving a case, but also the intricate human nature and difficult life choices behind the major case.
In 1987, Liu Huan sang the theme song "Young Aspirations Don't Tell Sorrows" for the TV series "Plainclothes Police", which almost became the song of the police profession.After 36 years, he once again sang the theme song "The Way of the World" for a police-themed work. The lyrics are a breath of breath, a reason, and a sacrifice. It is a true portrayal of the Three Brigades to support them in going forward. , which is not only the persistence of the police's responsibility and mission rooted deep in the heart, but also the eternal pursuit of justice and truth as an ordinary person.
Although in the process, they also faced choices about family, family, love, health and other life issues, and had to experience reunion and separation. But the spirit of the three teams represented by Cheng Bing has always stood, that is, persistence and not forgetting the original intention. What the audience really empathizes with is seeing the persistence and courage of ordinary people doing extraordinary things in movies.

Try to stick to the kindness in your heart, stick to the responsibilities you shoulder, stick to the dream that is not understood by others, and stick to doing the right thing.
