Recently, the plot crime film "manslaughter", starring Xiao Yang, Tan Zhuo, Chen Chong and Jiang Haowen and specially invited by Qin Pei, is about to be released. Previously, through the advanced film, many netizens have high comments on this film and Xiao Yang's performance in the film. This film may become another dark horse in this year's domestic films. The film "manslaughter" appears to be a plot crime film, but it also reflects the problems of youth education and the expression of father's love. There are frequent scenes of sheep in the film, so what's the meaning of sheep in manslaughter? Let's take a look at this article.
What's the meaning of sheep that often appear in accidental killing
The film "manslaughter" will be fully released on December 13. People who have seen it say that it is worth seeing. Everyone has also expressed their views on the foreshadowing of the film. What is the meaning of the sheep that often appear in the film? Let's get to know.
In manslaughter, you will find a large number of people and objects that have little to do with the plot, such as Buddha statues and monks in Thailand, and sheep appearing on the camera several times. What are these 'images' to illustrate? For sheep, some people say that the image of sheep means' scapegoat ', suggesting that the final outcome of this criminal action is just a good man' scapegoat '. However, it was also explained that in Buddhist classics, Yangtong is often used to compare ordinary people who do not distinguish between worldly law and practice, but blindly indulge the three poisons of 'greed, anger and infatuation', so the play killed the sheep and exposed its body in full view of the public, which means that the bad guys will come to this end.
The most frequent animal in the film -- goat. The English name of the film is "sheet without a shepherd", which means "mob". The literal translation is sheep without shepherds, which is equivalent to that the film title already includes "sheep". The word scapegoat comes from Judaism. Goat is a clean creature for sacrifice. Jews often choose two goats on the day of atonement, one for sacrifice and the other for release in the wild. These two sheep seem to bear the sins of the family, be redeemed and exiled.
Compared with the original version, which only depicts the divine deception, manslaughter also stands on the side of the "victim" and presents more subtle expressions. In fact, the foreshadowing of 'sheep' also appeared in the Indian version of the story of manslaughter hiding from heaven.
The theme song "the lost sheep"
The image of 'sheep' in manslaughter is really worth pondering over. The theme song recently exposed by the film side of "manslaughter" is also directly named "dead sheep", which shows that it is closely related. This song is sung by Xiao Jingteng. His voice is very powerful, which fully explains the protagonist's involuntariness in the lost world, and sheep also appears many times in the film as a key symbol. Therefore, the corresponding relationship between the theme song and the plot is very strong, and the lyrics are the clues of the film itself, which is worth noting.
Let's talk about the song "dead sheep". The song is composed by Zhong Xingmin and filled by Lou Nanwei. The sentence 'lost sheep' explains the struggle and hesitation of the protagonist in the dilemma world. At the beginning of the song, the harsh electric guitar and heavy metal music camp create a tense atmosphere. The intermittent stress seems to be asking something, which makes people feel afraid unconsciously.
'who's in the dark corner, give me a shot.' The vigilant lyrics and Xiao Jingteng's deep singing at the beginning suddenly pulled people into a heavy theme. The lyrics are a portrayal of the characters in the film. Xiao Jingteng uses his voice to express his struggle and fear. The strength of the song is very characteristic, perfectly integrating some suspense style. The treble is not direct, but the tail tone is processed, which shows the inner tension and painful struggle of the characters.
The melody of the climax of the song is very brilliant and has a lot of memory. As the theme song of a film, in addition to conforming to the tone of the film and closely linked with the film plot, it should also be a good work. It has to be said that Mr. Zhong Xingmin's composition perfectly integrates these two points. Then there is a high voice that seems to be struggling, some heart-rending, mixing and processing, which makes people feel more substituted. The soundtrack is mainly electric guitar and heavy drums, plus the sounds in the film plot such as gunfire, explosion and roar, which makes the whole song more storytelling. The ending music quickly disappeared, making the audience goose bumps straight, and still not out of the story.
Xiao Jingteng's voice characteristics match this music very well. His voice has a strong story and a good sense of narration. In the film, Li Weijie, played by Xiao Yang, is fearless in the face of torture in order to protect his family. In the MV, Xiao Jingteng also truly reproduces the scene of an ordinary father trapped in the interrogation room, vividly explaining his inner firmness and struggle and his courage to fight social injustice. When their images almost overlap and their cold eyes hit the depths of their hearts, people can't help wondering where the follow-up of the story will go and how the 'lost sheep' who has fallen into a wrong path will solve the dilemma? Can they wait for the justice of being late?
