Zhong Lie's Evaluation of Yang Jiajiang

The action design without special effects, the different personalities of the seven sons, the casualties of the enemy and the enemy, and the imperfect ending all make this film more realistic. The eldest son (Ekin Cheng) has a big picture and is quite handsome; the second son, Yang (Apollo), is simple and generous; the third son (Vic Zhou) is taciturn and good at archery; the fourth son (Jerry Lee) is optimistic; the fifth son, Yang Yande (Ram Raymond), has excellent medical skills; and the sixth son, Yang (Chun Wu), is affectionate and knows how to reflect on himself in time. The unique temperament is an important content that supports the richness of the whole story.

These are positive images. Whether it is a novel, a storytelling, a movie or a TV play, it must have a positive image and a negative image, so that someone can listen to it and watch it. However, the real history is not black and white, right and wrong, but more in the middle gray area.

For example, in the movie "Yang Jiajiang", there is no mention of the culprit who directly led to the death of Yang Ye (Adam Cheng): Sh ēn, Yang Ye, as a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, was easily suspected in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he disagreed with Wang Shu, who was a prison army, it was the only choice to go out rashly and die in the battlefield. Pan Renmei (Liang Jiaren), that is, Pan Mei in history, although it was dereliction of duty in the end without support, it is also likely to be constrained by Wang Shu, a military supervisor. From the final result of handling Song Taizong, we can also see some clues: Pan Mei, a military commander, was only reduced to the third grade, while Wang Shu, a civil servant, was "removed from his post and sent to Jinzhou". The right and wrong are already obvious.

In this film, there is also a supporting role, that is Liao Jun (played by Wang Chunyuan). Its personnel are very similar to those of Wang Shu, an army officer in the Northern Song Dynasty: he doesn't know the military, wants to command indiscriminately, and is ignorant but suspicious of heroes. As for the ending of the Liao army, it is more reasonable: it is very funny that he was hacked to death at the front by his own people and the Liao general Ye Luyuan (Shao Bing), but he was burdened with the "glorious" ending of "heroic sacrifice for the country".

All of the above reminds me of a line in the movie "See you later": "Children love to distinguish right from wrong, and adults only look at pros and cons. I knew you were not a good person, but I didn't expect you to be even a bad person. How can you mix in society like this? "

Whether it's literature or film and television works, it's just talk after dinner. Even with historical themes, adaptation is the norm. If we compare it with historical facts and criticize literary and artistic works, then whoever is serious will lose.

(2) About fate

Regarding "loyalty", the first thing we need to understand is that "we must be safe outside." Yang Ye knows this truth well, so he blames Yang He for taking part in the contest to get married, which leads to the plot that the film begins with a family rule to educate children. This has nothing to do with whether the contradiction between Pan and Yang is true or not. At present, it is an eternal truth that our own people must not mess up first. In the early years of Northern Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhao Pu wrote in his memorial: "China is safe and smooth. Therefore, if a husband wants to be outside, he must first settle down. "

Whether it is the fictional feud between Pan and Yang in literary works or the real feud between civil servants and military commanders (including Yue Fei) after a glass of wine, the contradiction under the general environment (this article refers to the national policy of valuing literature over martial arts in the Song Dynasty) is always inevitable.

Therefore, in the film, Yang Zhaoyan apologized to his father Yang Ye and his eldest brother Yang Yanping more than once along the way, regretting that he did not stop his seventh brother Yang Yansi; In the end, he was left behind, taking the lead and inheriting the loyalty of the Yang family. Of all the characters, Yang is the most stressed and fatalistic one. Xiao Pingjing in nirvana in fire is also the feelings of home and country after his father and brother left: the protagonist not only has similar thoughts, but also has similar fragile and struggling fate! The Tian Bo family is loyal to the country. Isn't it a copy of the Red Flame Army and Changlin Wang Fu?

"Temperament decides success or failure" is Yang Ye's reproach to Yang Yansi, the seventh son, but the styles of father and son are the same strain and have never changed. Finally, even Yang Yansi, the youngest and the most immature, rushed to the gate of Atlas City and shouted to Pan Renmei, "Pan Zhangguo, I didn't intend to come back alive this time. I killed your son. As long as you are willing to send troops to save my father, I am willing to pay the price of my life and let you dispose of it! " Seeing Pan Renmei's personal selfish and nasty report, Yang Yansi, who was furious, threw a spear at Pan Renmei with the intention of assassination: Although he failed and was shot dead by a disorderly arrow, Yang Yansi was also a kind of growth and transformation. Like tiger, like son!

(3) About love

In the movie "Yang Jiajiang", the only slightly magical thing in my opinion is that Yang Yansi used special effects in the part of accidentally killing Pan Bao, especially the background was atomized and unreal. Compared with the shooting of the battlefield later, the opening ring here is slightly unreal.

Later, Yang Ye and Liuzi died in battle. Liuzi Yang, as the only life-saving straw for two generations of the family, promised Yang to marry the monarch and become the Xu family, which became the best reward for the court to praise Yang Zhongxin. Pan Bao was dead at this time, and Pan Mei in history was demoted at this time, so Yang naturally married Princess Chai, echoing the foreshadowing of the homonyms "Mother Sheep" and "Mother Yang" at the beginning of the film.

Yang Ye and She Taijun are the trust and tacit understanding of the old couple, while Yang and Chai Jun are the vows and persistence of young people. The love between two generations adds a gentle side to the bloody war movies. Knowing that there is anxiety and concern at the wedding party all the time, She Taijun and Chai Jun remain steadfast, just like Meng Xiaoxue in nirvana in fire: Love is great, and it can also include feelings of home and country. Perhaps only by freeing heroes from worries can we practice the mission behind the word "loyalty" with peace of mind.

We might as well assume that although the film didn't say much at the end, as long as Yang and Cheshire can successfully carry on the family line, the next generation is destined to continue the character of the loyal government!

When you know that fate is hard to break, seven sons go to six sons to return!

But since fate has not killed all the loyal subjects, those who can't kill me will definitely make me stronger!
