This year’s Spring Festival movie box office competition has come to an end early.
In addition to the four movies with a box office of over 1 billion, the other four movies have officially announced that they will be withdrawn from the Spring Festival schedule and will be released at other more suitable times.
Although the overall number has dropped sharply, each of the four currently showing movies is worth watching.
"热热" is an inspirational comedy movie. The female power presented in the film, as well as the issues of finding oneself and pursuing ideals, can resonate with the audience.
" Flying Life 2" continues the storyline of the first film, but it tells completely new content. The joyful Shen Teng is the biggest attraction of this film. As a "containing It can be said that the box office of 100% of the movies "Teng Liang" is supported by Shen Teng alone.
"Bear Bears: Reversal of Time" is this year's dark horse player. Although it meets everyone every year, it made a lot of money early this year. As a low-cost movie, it has a box office of over 1.4 billion. , has far exceeded expectations.
Although "Article 20" did not beat "Bear Bears", it still scored 1.3 billion at the box office. The key is that this movie has the possibility of counterattack. The serious subject matter combines comedy elements to create a relaxed atmosphere for the audience. At the same time, it also promoted legal education. Such movies not only have commercial value, but also have social value.
In addition, with the broadcast of " Article 20 ", the prototypes of the story cases depicted in the film have been revealed, which has triggered a lot of discussion and is expected to help the film achieve a reversal of box office and reputation.
originally thought that the self-defense cases in "Article 20" were heartbreaking enough, but after reading the prototype story, it turned out that Zhang Yimou was still conservative in his filming.
01
The adapted case scale is full, and the blood pressure soared during the movie watching
"Article 20" mainly depicts three cases.
One is Han Yuchen (played by Liu Yaowen) who saw a classmate who was bullied on campus and helped him. It was obviously a brave move, but because he injured the son of the school leader, he would probably not be able to go to school and would have to be punished. Leave a record.
One was a bus driver who helped a girl who was molested speak out, but was beaten instead. In order to protect himself, the bus driver raised a fire extinguisher and hit the obscene man on the head, but he was jailed.
Another one is that the village bully raped Hao Xiuping (played by Zhao Liying), a deaf-mute in the village, and forced him to repay the loan shark for 200 yuan each time. Due to a dispute between the village bully and Hao Xiuping's husband, Hao Xiuping was stabbed with scissors more than 20 times. She lost blood and fell into a coma. She eventually died after resuscitation failed.
Among the three cases, the third case is presented in detail. Due to its large scale, it is both shocking and makes your blood pressure soar during the viewing process.
The village bully relied on his father as the village chief and his martyr brother to do whatever he wanted in the village. Hao Xiuping, a deaf-mute, and her husband asked the village bully to borrow money in order to treat their daughter, who was also deaf-mute. , as a result, the other party gave them usury loans.
The two of them could not repay, so the village bully tied Hao Xiuping's husband to a tree outside the door and made him listen to him raping his wife.
After one of the sessions, Hao Xiuping's husband couldn't bear the humiliation of the village bully and his wife couldn't bear it, so she had the idea of committing suicide. Hao Xiuping's husband couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out to fight with the village bully.
But because he was no match for the village bully, he was quickly thrown to the ground by the other party. However, this move also angered the village bully, who threatened to go back to the car to get a knife and stab him to death.
In order to keep himself and his family alive, Hao Xiuping's husband used scissors to kill the village bully, which also triggered a discussion about legitimate defense in the film.
In the film, whether it is the scene of Hao Xiuping being unable to break free and having to let the village bully ravage her, or the pain of Hao Xiuping's husband who is tied to the door and is trying to break away like crazy but is unable to do anything, all make people feel Very cruel.
But if you look at real cases, you will know that there is no cruelty, only more cruelty.
02
The real case is too crazy, but the film and television presentation is more conservative.
The case of Hao Xiuping’s husband is a combination of two legitimate defense cases in real life.
One of the cases was a mother-humiliation homicide.
In this case, female entrepreneur Su Yinxia was harassed by Wu Zhanxue and others because she borrowed a loan with an interest rate of 10% from real estate businessman Wu Zhanxue and was unable to repay the interest that far exceeded the principal.
Wu Zhanxue first shocked the other party by pressing Su Yinxia's face into the toilet where she had just finished defecating, and then used a more perverted method to make Su Yinxia miserable.
When Su Yinxia called the police, Wu Zhanxue and others did not care about the police at all, but became more unscrupulous.
Until the afternoon of April 14, Wu Zhanxue recruited 11 people to rush into the factory where Su Yinxia was located, and locked her and her son Yu Huan in the financial room. The leader played an obscene video to his mother Su Yinxia in front of Yu Huan. , and turn the volume up to maximum.
Then at 8 o'clock in the evening, they moved Su Yinxia's mother and son to the reception room and humiliated her for more than an hour. When the police arrived, they did not stop the behavior forcibly, which made the leader even more wanton and took off their pants to humiliate Su Yinxia. .
Unable to bear it, Yu Huan took out the fruit knife on the table and stabbed the person who hurt him and his mother. The leader was the most severely injured. In the end, rescue efforts failed and he died of hemorrhagic shock.
Another case is the Kunshan anti-murder case.
While riding his bicycle home after working a night shift, Yu was almost hit by a BMW on the non-motorized lane.
When Yu looked back at the other party, he was hit twice. It was because the other party was at fault first. Yu then argued with the other party. From the initial quarrel to the situation, it eased and the situation was under control.
However, just as the two people in the BMW turned to leave, a man driving a white BMW directly attacked the innocent Yu.
After beating the other party violently, the BMW driver returned to the car, took out a sharp-edged double-edged machete, and slashed Yu directly on the back of his neck.
When he slashed at Yu for the fifth time, the knife in the hand of the BMW driver fell to the ground. Yu Huan grabbed the knife first and killed him.
The BMW driver in this case was named Liu Hailong. He was a local tyrant. He was driving drunk on the night of the murder. He had had many criminal records before. In the process of injuring Liu, he was ruthless and very cruel. Brutal.
Conclusion
In "Article 20", the experience of Hao Xiuping's family is very similar to that of Yu Huan and Yu Mou. In order to avoid being killed by the village bully, her husband took the first step and was eventually found guilty of self-defense and acquitted. Got a fair and just verdict.
In the actual case, Yu Huan was sentenced to life imprisonment, but after appeal, he was sentenced to five years in prison for excessive defense. His encounter with Yu was appalling, and the actions of these bullies, after film and television adaptation, only showed us the tip of the iceberg.
However, this is also the significance of "Article 20", allowing more people to know the legitimate defense in Article 20 of the Criminal Law, and also clarifying the boundary between legitimate defense and excessive defense. Do cases like
make you feel worried?
