This is a line of the film "The Great Protector" shortly after its opening, which can also be said to have laid the tone for the whole film. Of course, this tone is my personal understanding and cannot be generalized.
The movie "The Great Protector" is about finding a prince whose whereabouts are unknown. The great protector came to a strange and strange town where a group of stupid peanut people lived. Every night, they lit oil lamps from unknown sources and smoked huge peanuts floating in the dark sky. ? The great protector found the prince hiding here in the town and met Xiaojiang, a peanut man who has been protecting the prince Xiaoming's speech. Under the coercion and inducement of the Great Protector, the prince agreed to go back to the throne with him, but was kidnapped on the way. In the process of saving the prince, the great protector gradually solved the terrible mystery hidden in this small town, and at the same time, his powerful old enemy also pressed behind him in an attempt to kill him.
At first glance, this is the bloody plot of an ordinary slave savior, which is neither novel nor profound. However, the director gave us an animated color, which is very meaningful to me.

As the saying goes: "There is no need to harm people, and there is no need to prevent people." The Great Protector who broke into the town by mistake immediately picked up Yu Pei, and the prince called him a child. Then I met two woodcutters with axes and asked them if they wanted to leave. In vain, they were killed.
"Life is so short, but you don't cherish it." The Great Protector walked away with Kurogane's staff and threw a broken body on the ground without looking back. Seeing this, the film gives a bloody picture. Fortunately, it is not red blood, but the color of vegetable juice.
Of course, the film also set a suspense here, and several ants and monkeys dropped several artificial eyes after fleeing in a hurry.
Entering the town, there was a big black peanut floating in the sky, and the people in the town turned on their lights during the day. They look as boring as puppets. Except for the occasional gunshot, there is no picture to present, but the full screen of ink painting makes people shine.
Watching peanut people kill each other, the Great Protector couldn't help cursing the cynical prince. "You and I live in different secrets. Your eyes tell me, hatred and fear, and then kill people to cover up this feeling, what kind of experience is it? Dare you ask yourself, where are you going? Is it necessary to find the end point with fear? Can you still hear me? Do you still have the courage to face your fears? "
This is what the Great Protector said when he questioned the hired killer at the end of the film, and it is also the reason why the Great Protector has been looking for the loser prince, because he bears different secrets from others.
Later, the Great Protector found the hidden prince through Xiao Jiang, and there was a seemingly harmless Xiaoming around the prince. Under the coercion and inducement of the Great Protector, the Prince promised to return to the palace with the Great Protector and promised not to leave the palace for a year and a half.
2. Ruler
The picture goes to a farewell hospital, where a "dead pervert" wearing a cloak is peeking at a woman taking a bath, and after being found, she leaves angrily.
The peanut man in the yard is working hard. A peanut man with a child was close to his lover, but he was shot in the head. The two men are still connected with their heads rolling in front of their son, but their children are indifferent.
Love will cool down, especially in times when you have no status. Even having sex is a crime.
The "dead pervert" supported by the so-called God "Ji 'an" in this town is a violent authority that drives peanut people to kill each other, and is also the nominal owner of the whole peanut town.
He led a high salary and threatened the peanut people by force, making them afraid of "authority" and unconditionally obeying the arrangement of "God" played by Ji 'an.
Ji 'an even took advantage of the fact that peanut people forget their previous memories after pupation, making peanut people mistakenly think that their own kind (ants and monkeys, yes, the little creatures that lost their eyes at the beginning of the film) is a kind of food, feeding peanut people with similar cubs who died prematurely, and even training law enforcement teams to slaughter mature peanut people.
Of course, the massacre needs an excuse. A peanut man without wisdom is like a lamb to be slaughtered. They are cultivated, grown and slaughtered. Their maturity is the appearance of black mushrooms and a sign of their inevitable death. Ji 'an's excuse is the plague.
By arousing strong personality worship, Ji 'an deprived the peanut people of their right to speak, let them live with artificial eyes and mouths, and continue their evil activities under the banner of being good for you.
3. Xiaoming
Why do you want to write a paragraph to Xiaoming in the film alone? Not only because he is the grandson of Ji 'an, but also because he finally has ambition.
After finding the prince, the Great Protector sat next to a harmless child. The child rescued the prince many times on his way back, and he was able to control the overall situation accurately. This is not like the image of a so-called good man, but more like a shocking conspiracy that has been planned for a long time.
Sure enough, when Xiao Ming was alone with the prince, Xiao Ming knelt down and attached himself to the prince, offering ripe fruits that could strengthen his rule. In my opinion, a shocking story is about to start, but it comes to an abrupt end. On the one hand, I feel that the film is still not solid enough in structure and lacks deeper meaning.
Of course, it is impossible to summarize the whole film from these three aspects, but it is a bit of a glimpse. The whole movie gives people a feeling of dark color full of reality.
"Why is the sun so red, but it is still so cold?" Like everyone who pursues freedom, there is no freedom in this world. As long as this person has feelings and desires, he will never be free.
However, there are always some people who want to cover up their desires and sins. They don't know what good thoughts are, but they just exchange their personal interests for the satisfaction of their desires. As the saying goes, hell is empty and the devil is on earth.
