The first scene of the film shows the criminal police captain Chen Hui standing guard at the door of the gang leader's funeral, waiting for Chen Guilin's arrival.
Why did Chen Hui appear here in advance?
We can get some clues from the film. When the gangster Golden Retriever met Chen Guilin, because they were both under Brother Black, Golden Retriever took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Chen Guilin and mentioned the heroic deeds of "Guilin Boy". After killing Mr. Hong single-handedly, Brother Tietou issued a pursuit order.
It can be concluded from this conversation that Chen Guilin is not a rookie, at least he has already done something big like killing Mr. Hong.
Therefore, Chen Hui had enough reasons to suspect that Chen Guilin came to Hong Ye's funeral today. Even if Chen Guilin didn't come, the place might still be uneasy.
Sure enough, after Chen Guilin killed Brother Tietou, he happened to meet Chen Hui when he ran out. At this time, Chen Guilin was not carrying a weapon. If Chen Hui didn't recognize him, he would not ignore the gunshots over there and would instead pursue him desperately.
The fight between the two was really intense, but it was obvious that they did not intend to kill each other. Chen Guilin wanted to escape as soon as possible, but Chen Hui wanted to cuff him.
Some viewers don't understand why Chen Hui didn't shoot to control or kill Chen Guilin earlier, but chose to shoot when he was blind and at a disadvantage?
You must know that Chen Hui only saw Chen Guilin at the scene, and he didn't know what happened inside. And even if he is a suspect in the previous Hong Ye case, he still needs to arrest someone and match the witnesses and physical evidence before he can be convicted.
Therefore, it is not in accordance with the procedure to directly shoot and kill people.
The second time Chen Hui and Chen Guilin met on a narrow road was when Chen Guilin was chasing Aberdeen. Chen Hui ignored Aberdeen and only targeted Chen Guilin. But Chen Guilin only had Aberdeen in his heart, and he still tried to get rid of Chen Hui as much as possible.
This time, Chen Huiwei was too weak to catch up. The third time
met was when Chen Guilin surrendered.
The most difficult lens to understand is here. At that time, Chen Guilin was smiling, and the corners of Chen Hui's mouth were slightly raised. Many viewers compared Chen Hui's eyes to those of tenderness. Including later Chen Hui helped bring a razor to Cheng Xiaomei and was very friendly to Chen Guilin.
So, the audience doesn’t understand!
He, Chen Guilin, pressed Chen Hui’s eyes on the incense burner and blinded you. Chen Guilin ran away in front of Chen Hui time and time again, and even took away Chen Hui’s gun. How could Chen Hui do this to Chen Guilin and surrender? Suddenly there is no more hatred?
Come on, let me help you clear up your doubts.
Actually, a scene was deleted from the film, which was a key conversation between Chen Guilin and Chen Hui. Neither the Netflix version nor the theatrical version aired this section, so it’s understandable that viewers have this confusion.
This section happened when Chen Guilin killed Hong Kong Aberdeen and on his way back to Xiaomei's barber shop. Chen Hui, who was resting in the river, caught up with Chen Guilin again and entangled him. The two of them fought again, and they might end up at the disadvantage. Still Chen Hui.
So, Chen Hui and Chen Guilin had a conversation.
Chen Guilin's request was very simple: Chen Hui should let him go and not continue to pursue him. When he catches Lin Luhe, the top brother on the list, he will come back and surrender, and all the credit belongs to Chen Hui. On the day of surrender, Chen Hui wanted to call reporters because he wanted to follow the example of "Zhou Chu eliminates three evils" and let the world know that his name is Chen Guilin.
For Chen Hui, he actually had no better choice.
For the first time, Chen Guilin snatched away Chen Hui's gun during the fight. His body had the upper hand at that time, and Chen Guilin could kill Chen Hui. Ash, but he just took the gun and ran away.
The second time, Chen Guilin pushed Chen Hui's head into the river. Chen Hui no longer had the strength to resist, so Chen Guilin took the initiative to let go and chased Aberdeen.
Chen Guilin could kill Chen Hui both times, but Chen Guilin didn't. Therefore, Chen Hui could only take a gamble on Chen Guilin's character based on his two confrontations with Chen Guilin.
Chen Guilin got his name, and Chen Hui got the benefit.
So, Chen Hui gave his mobile phone number to Chen Guilin, which corresponded to the end of the film. Chen Guilin took the girl's phone and called Chen Hui directly.
When Chen Hui just saw Chen Guilin, his expression was serious,
However, when Chen Guilin handed over his pistol and stretched out his hands to wait for Chen Hui's handcuffs, Chen Hui's mouth turned slightly. of rise.
Because he made the right bet, Chen Guilin fulfilled his promise and eliminated the three evils.
Therefore, when Chen Hui took Chen Guilin to the police car, he gave him enough time to talk to the reporter before finally pushing him into the car. After
, it was Chen Hui who helped Xiaomei and gave Chen Guilin the final shave.
Chen Hui's choice also corresponds to the word "grey" in his name, which is between black and white, rather than being stubborn.
The second scene that is difficult to understand is the female lead singer of His Holiness. Why was she able to persist until the end? Have you been brainwashed? Or die for love?
My understanding is that she was indeed brainwashed.
Her cancer experience was made up just to cooperate with His Holiness to deceive believers. From this point of view, she seems to be sober. However, facing a hypocritical criminal like His Holiness, she was still willing to get pregnant for him, which shows that she has fallen in love with His Holiness.
Is that sacrificing one’s life for love?
I don't think so.
The way His Holiness brainwashed her was different from the way he brainwashed the ordinary believers in the spiritual center.
brainwashes those believers for money.
The brainwashed female lead singer is just for lust and for the heart.
It’s just that I stayed with His Holiness for a long time and followed him to brainwash people, and I was deeply involved in it. The most obvious thing is her disregard for life.
Do you still remember the scene when the little fat mother committed suicide in front of the believers? Chen Guilin was also stabbed in the stomach by a believer. The Venerable was covered in blood. He arranged for the believers to put them into wooden boxes and nail them to death, and then carried them away.
This is killing people!
However, these believers can still continue to sing, completely ignoring the disappearance of life.
This is why the Venerable was killed. Those believers were not timid or resisted, because they ignored life, whether it was other people's or their own.
Even if she is pregnant with a child.
Compared to ordinary believers, she is sober, just like His Holiness is sober. At the same time, she was brainwashed and became a demon who had no regard for life. Her positioning in several shots suggests that she is the one most likely to become the Venerable.
The third scene that is difficult to understand is why those believers did not run when they saw someone being killed around them, but chose to run away when the gun was pointed at them and jammed?
The believers who choose to stay are all very brainwashed.
They have no regard for life, other people's, and their own. But saying it is one thing and doing it is another.
Some people left after the gunfire.
Some people leave when the gun is aimed at them and it gets stuck.
I think it should be them holding their breath when facing death. When the gun went off, there was relief. But as the sound of jamming appeared and the breath of holding them was released, they no longer had the courage to face death.
Of course, there are also people who are extremely determined and have no fear even if they get stuck. Just like the Venerable who walked in front.
The above three points are my personal understanding of the video. If I can help you, I will be very happy. If you feel it is unreasonable, please express your opinion in the comment area.
Fortunately, we watched the same good movie together.
