Producer Chen Sicheng, director Dai Mo, screenwriter Zhang Ji.
cast: Zhang Yi, Li Chen, Wei Chen, Cao Bingkun, Wang Xiao, Zhang Zixian, Yang Xinming... The
story is adapted from the documentary literature "Please tell the director that the mission of the Third Brigade has been completed" that once hit the circle of friends.
Just looking at the above information, I have already included "The Three Brigades" on my annual must-see list.
The movie was officially released yesterday, with a score of 7.8 on Douban, which has risen to 7.9 today.
But more than these numbers, what moved me more were the “little essays” from the audience.
Looking around, there are no words such as "exciting" or "exploding", but words and sentences full of true feelings.
Some people bluntly said that ""The Three Troops" is the best movie I have seen this year, bar none." Some people could not control their tear ducts at all. Some people did not cry but tasted all the five flavors of life. Some people were moved by a song. Thinking of my parents, someone took them to watch the movie and the whole family turned into tap water...
Look more carefully, you will find that "The Three Brigades" shows different charms from different perspectives, all of which triggered strong emotions. Emotional resonance .
has the rare distinction of impressing audiences of different professions, ages, and genders without distinction, and has become a true breakthrough work. How does
do it?
Perhaps the answer lies in the feelings of each audience.
01 Who is praising "The Three Brigades"
The story of "The Three Brigades" is adapted from real events and is extremely dramatic.
On a rainy night 12 years ago, a shocking rape and murder occurred.
The Third Brigade, as a model police force that has repeatedly solved major cases, is responsible for the investigation of cases.
captain Cheng Bing (played by Zhang Yi) issued a military order: five days to detect the case.
However, an accident caused great changes in the lives of all members of the three teams.
They were sentenced to jail for "intentional injury", and when they got together again, things had changed.
Cai Bin (played by Cao Bingkun) sells antiques, sells bracelets, and leads a true Buddhist life;
Ma Zhenkun (played by Wang Xiao) runs a food stall with his wife, and his life is considered peaceful;
Liao Jian (played by Zhang Zixian) In the insurance business, his son is his colleague;
Xu Yizhou (played by Wei Chen), the youngest in the team, has become a dog trainer;
Cheng Bing's life has also experienced earth-shaking changes. From the captain of the third team with a happy family and a successful career, he fell into Rock bottom.
There is an unsolvable knot in his heart: Wang Eryong, one of the suspects, is still at large, and the victim's body is still cold.
So -
12 years, 7 provinces, spanning 11,785 kilometers.
Cheng Bing led the three brigade on a long road to pursue the murderer. During the
process, teammates put them down one by one.
And Cheng Bing, with his obsession, went from being high-spirited to having gray hair on his temples.
He spent 12 years polishing himself into a bullet, and 12 years later, he penetrated evil in the bright sunshine, and also hit the hearts of countless viewers on the big screen...
The success of "The Three Brigades" first lies in the establishment of . The person Cheng Bing lives in .
Some netizens said that when many film and television works tell everyone not to cling to the past and "look forward, don't look back," "Cheng Bing, a person who lives in the past, is my favorite character this year."
Indeed, Cheng Bing is the most unique "lonely warrior" on the big screen this year.
In order to pursue the murderer, he led the three brigades all the way and went deep into Hunan, Sichuan, Liaoning, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou.
At the same time, he was also stationed in the past. When his teammates chose to leave for the sake of their own bonds, only Cheng Bing persisted in completing this life journey that seemed to have no end in sight.
The most real thing is that the film does not exaggerate Cheng Bing's strength and unyieldingness. On the contrary, uses details to highlight his scars and crumbling .
The former was dissolved in the wine glasses he shared with his former colleague Yang Jiantao (played by Li Chen).
From youth to Huafa, they drank together twice. It seemed like a snap of the fingers, but the two parties had already lived completely different lives. The impermanence and cruelty of fate were visible to the naked eye.
The latter turned into a text message that he couldn't send despite swiping through his address book.
The short five words "I can't chase you anymore" express a heart full of holes but nowhere to rest.
The more it writes about Cheng Bing's ordinary life, the more it reveals the difficulty of walking alone, and the more it reveals the value of a person who is firm in his "ego" and has a straight spine.
When we are used to conforming to the pace of society, Cheng Bing tried to wrestle with fate.
Isn’t this a kind of simple heroism?
"Self-persistence" is not only for oneself, but also for the belief of never giving up in pursuit of justice. It is the embodiment of seeing greatness in the ordinary.
solid and vivid group portraits shape , which is a highlight of the adaptation of "The Three Brigades".
It constantly promotes the narrative and injects warmth and thickness into the story.
On the way to pursue the murderer, the brothers of the third brigade drove a taxi, worked as a food stall, worked as an Internet cafe network administrator, and worked as community security guards... They investigated all the way and used the most "unsophisticated" method to conduct the most detailed investigation.
There is no need for any sensational skills. Cheng Bing's look and the actions of the team members performing their duties and attacking at full speed reflect the tacit understanding of the three teams' seamless cooperation.
I especially liked the scene where they busted the human trafficking ring.
Some occupied the terrain to clear out the situation inside the building, some were responsible for subduing the guard's wolf dogs, some cooperated with the investigation inside, and some stayed on the spot to investigate...
's "move" was a sign that the brothers were backing each other. The trust is also engraved in the bones and immortal.
The film also takes great care in shaping the characters. Every small detail and little strokes give each person a unique temperament and a complete arc.
Cai Bin who looks smooth but is actually transparent, Xu Yizhou who is full of youthfulness, Ma Zhenkun who is brave but delicate, and Liao Jian who always smokes.
Everyone has a beautiful and moving curtain call.
Looking back, I realized that whether it was a sudden look back at the train station, a shout under the gorgeous fireworks, a farewell on the beach, or a persuasion in the river, these farewells have long been buried in the gray thread of fate.
Perhaps individuals are always tempered by fate, but this friendship will not pass away with time.
They all lighted a path for Cheng Bing and helped him on his final journey.
Good movies often have magical songs, and this has been verified again in "The Three Brigades".
In the past few days, my circle of friends has been almost flooded with two songs.
One song is "Young Aspirations Don't Tell the Sorrows" - as the theme song of the hit TV series "Plain Clothes Police" in the 1980s, it undoubtedly evokes the nostalgia of parents .
Every time this song appears in the video, it is filled with heavy emotions.
From the daughter's pride in requesting songs for her father Cheng Bing, to the confusion and determination after the reunion of the three teams, to the emotion at the end when Cheng Bing completed his mission... every lyric is the unfinished words of the people in the play. .
The ending theme song "The Way of the World" firmly "pressed" the audience to their seats.
is also sung by Liu Huan, and it forms an intertextual relationship with "Young Aspirations Don't Tell Sorrows". There is no word "difficult" in
, but it talks about the difficulties in life, but the next sentence of "I want" sings about the persistence of faith and the reconstruction of hope.
I really like this sentence "I want the rain that falls from the sky to return to the sky."
Contact Cheng Bing's daughter is called "Little Raindrop", which not only points out the persistence of "evil people still need to be punished", but also symbolizes the protection of all pure goodness in the world.
Of course, the person who can best understand the long-term meaning of "The Way of the World" is the police group in reality.
Their comments about the movie also touched my heart. The third team of
's sense of flesh and blood as ordinary people and their firm belief in punishing evil and promoting good deeply moved these special audiences.
's sentence "empathizes with" also reveals the true power of .
In fact, this is also the key to "The Three Brigades" being able to capture different audience groups and achieve universal empathy -
02 truly evokes empathy
A story about chasing a murderer for 12 years. Just by looking at the title, you can imagine all kinds of storms Changing and thrilling.
However, producer Chen Sicheng and director Dai Mo chose to go against the routine, " is true and moves people with emotion" .
does not show off skills or sensationalism, nor does it even focus on crime types. Instead, it uses reality and sincerity as its background, and solidly narrates and builds people around the spiritual core of the characters.
The process of pursuit and arrest is certainly thrilling, but what is even more heart-wrenching is the life behind the major case.
"The Three Brigades" not only reflects the length of time and the transformation of regions, but also uses those ordinary daily life and the traces that life gives to people to superimpose the thickness of time.
Looking at Cheng Bing's changing state, we seem to have touched the passing time, and gradually understood the difficulty of his garrison in the past. Although
is not a cool novel, the fireworks of life and sincere emotions are far more heart-shaking than the spectacle of crime and lines of truth, and will also bring long-lasting staying power.
"The Three Brigades" talks about people being coerced by the times and destiny, and also talks about people's persistence in justice and faith.
There is a line in the film that impressed me deeply: "No one can live in a vacuum."
It is not only the basis for Cheng Bing to hunt Wang Eryong all the way, but also points out the dilemma he will face on the road to chasing the murderer.
This one, the more you taste it, the more emotional you become.
We are as small as us, how can we keep up with 12 years in a "vacuum" and still insist on fighting fate?
"The Three Brigades" did not add too much aura to Cheng Bing, nor did it try to transform him from a human into a god. Instead,
uses the most down-to-earth approach, using individual questioning and ordinary people’s pursuits to create an ordinary and shocking power.
allows us to naturally ignite a kind of belief and expectation:
believes that there will always be someone lighting a lamp in the dark night, looking forward to "all the ways in this world are under the blue sky."
Another very advanced processing is the last ten minutes of the film.
Cheng Bing spent 12 years of hardship and scars in exchange for the real murderer being punished.
The bullets came out of the chest, and he could finally say the words: "The mission of the Third Brigade is completed!"
No more words are needed, the weight of fate and the extreme of human nature are all condensed in these words.
When Cheng Bing walked out of the police station alone, there was a detail:
A crowd appeared in front of his eyes and there was a sound in his ears, which symbolized that he was able to leave the "vacuum" and truly return to the "human world".
screenwriter Zhang Ji revealed that the last sentence of the script is:
"Cheng Bing felt that the sunshine was very good today, and he decided to walk on the street for a while."
The movie condenses the long years into a long shot.
Cheng Bing walked forward slowly, and his teammates from the third team greeted him one after another along the way. He smiled happily...
Finally, he came to a T-intersection. The alley behind
is the one he is most familiar with but cannot go back to. In front of it is a huge crowd of people and busy traffic.
Cheng Bing stood there alone, and the camera slowly zoomed out. He became smaller and smaller, gradually becoming a part of this lively world, or a speck of dust under the wheel of time...
This scene gave me A blow to the soul.
What's valuable is that there are countless ways to interpret and .
It can be the sadness of losing the goal and not knowing where to go, it can be the new life of integrating into the vast world, it can be the relief that the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, it can be the lack of regret under the bright sunshine...
A completely anti-traditional and anti-"happy reunion" style The ending seems to end abruptly, but in fact it has a long meaning, which is worth more than ten thousand words.
The impact and thinking it brings are destined to be remembered by many people and recalled from time to time.
I think this is the greatest stamina of "Three Brigades".
From the strong emotional resonance to the profound and magical touch, "The Three Brigades" brings many surprises.
It does not give stereotyped answers, but shows the power of choice and allows the audience to make their own choices.
True expression and sincere creation can naturally win the sincerity of the audience.
In this snowy season, being able to witness the turning of the gears of fate on the big screen, feel the rich emotions, and draw strength from it, who can say that this is not an ordinary happiness?
