From heaven to hell

Mahjong completes the film narrative through group decomposition. Won the 1996 Berlin film festival special award and the 1996 Singapore film festival best director award. It was selected as the best film in Asia at Tokyo Film Festival and was the opening film of Hong Kong International Film Festival.

Mahjong is a metaphor for a group. This group consists of four people, all of whom are indispensable. Everyone plays an irreplaceable role in this group, just like four pillars in a structure. The lack of a pillar means the collapse of the whole structure.

Similar to the word "mahjong" which implies gambling color, the four people in "mahjong" are an evil structure. They don't play mahjong, but they have a bad record in fraud and seduction.

Among the four people, Red Fish, the son of a bankrupt wealthy businessman, is their boss, and he is the evil planner. He sold many evil ways from his father, firmly believing that everyone in this world doesn't know what he needs, so he can pay by cheating and gradually gain people's trust, thus enslaving them and profiting from it. Hong Kong is a master of picking up girls, and he is the executor of sex slaves. Toothpaste is a baldy. He disguised himself as a little Buddha, predicted the future for others, and artificially created accidents to realize others' trust in him and gain benefits. Lun Lun is a sensitive follower. He is the helper of three other people and has good language skills and communication skills.

They lured women through Hong Kong, but they lured them to gang rape on the grounds that one person is everyone. They use toothpaste to tell fortune, predict accidents first, and then create accidents, so as to get the reward of eliminating disasters.

How can such an evil structure be disintegrated one by one?

The most deadly force comes from a wrong plan of red fish. Red Fish met her father's former friend Qiu Dong and mistress Angel, and mistakenly thought that Angel was the woman who cheated her father of a fortune decades ago, so she decided to get back at this woman. Seduce her through Hong Kong first, and then cheat her through toothpaste fortune telling.

What Hong Kong didn't expect was that when Hong Kong seduced Angel, it was found that there was also a female group around Angel. This group also sexually enslaves men on the grounds of sharing everyone's ownership. When slavery was unsuccessful, Hong Kong was enslaved by others first, and suffered a fatal mental blow.

What Red Fish didn't expect was that his father, who cheated and made profits all his life, had realized that life had nothing to do with cheating and money, and finally committed suicide with his lover. At this time, the red fish found that this angel was not another angel, and realized that he had finally been teased, so he killed Qiu Dong in a rage.

Lun Lun met a French woman, Mariette, who came to an English lover and was abandoned by her lover. He fell in love with this woman, but Red Fish wanted to sell Mary to a prostitute, which disappointed Lun Lun, and she had to hide Mary. At this time, Lun Lun was mistaken for a red fish and was kidnapped. Lunlun's kidnappers tried to force the father of the red fish who disappeared because of bankruptcy to appear.

The near collapse of Hong Kong, the realization of false life and the emotional loss of nylon have made this evil structure face disintegration. At this time, Toothpaste, who is still obsessed with evil, wants to organize a new mahjong group and continue to do evil. ...

At this time, Mariette, who was about to make up with her old lover, realized her love again. They looked for each other in the street and kissed each other warmly.

It can be found that this evil structure collapsed under the attack of several opposing forces, such as good and evil, beauty and ugliness, great enlightenment and paranoia. These opposing efforts collide with each other and tear each other, eventually tearing this group apart.

After the evil structure was destroyed, beauty and goodness were completely exposed. In the face of any evil, even the most common and insignificant beauty and goodness will be considered extremely noble and beautiful.

This is the way that Yang Dechang chose to express himself in mahjong. He first magnified evil to the extreme, and then let it collapse. The evil river that broke through the bank was floating with kind and beautiful boats. The boat is light and beautiful, taking people to far away places.

What's more, in mahjong, angel, the embodiment of extreme evil, is named after an English angel, but this beautiful name doesn't have a glimmer of light.

There is always an insurmountable distance between hell and heaven. Stubbornness will always fall down, one evil structure will disappear, and another evil structure will float up, which will let evil continue; However, beauty and goodness are always so personal. They cannot be reflected in a structured way, but are hidden in everyone's heart. If you are thorough, it will fly out, attach to your life and show beauty. You don't understand, it can only be a cave without light, waiting for you to open it.

In ethics, the definition of goodness is difficult, because the boundary of the concept often makes the concept itself unreliable and unreliable. Similarly, it is difficult to define goodness through the narrative ethics of movies. But at least one thing is clear. Although the definition of goodness is difficult, it is not indescribable. People can explain goodness through some phenomena and facts. At the same time, people can also show kindness through e. In the eyes of ordinary people, what is forbidden is the appearance of evil, and what is required and appealed is the embodiment of good.

This is the moral way of speaking that Yang Dechang chose in his films. The direct expression or even exaggerated expression of evil makes people more and more eager and believe in good, even if good is vague and undefined.

In my opinion, the reason why Yang Dechang chose a certain group to narrate this film is because there are rich and vivid survival nerves buried in this group. The disintegration of a group symbolizes the trembling and fracture of every nerve in this group. It is generalized and condensed, representative and universal. It extends its tentacles in all directions, and then watches them being honed or even damaged bit by bit, thus completing and realizing the whole inner panic.
