In the movie, there has been a perfect explanation for "who is the real painter". In fact, many people have over interpreted the plot to make a guess that "painter" is actually Ruan Wen's guess. The painter is only an image imagined by Li Wen, so there is no real painter.
As for the painters in Wushuang, in fact, the film review didn't give a clear explanation. There are four speculations as follows:
1. Painters do not exist
"Matchless" is used to describe the real product, but the feelings between Ruan Wen and Li Wen in the movie are false, and the relationship between the boss and Li Wen is also false. Nothing in the counterfeit money group is true, and it will eventually be nothing. Frankly speaking, almost all the plots about Li Wen in the movie are fantasies of Li Wen.
In fact, the ultimate boss of "painter" played by Zhou Runfa doesn't exist at all. All criminal acts are dominated by Li Wen. Just because Li Wen saw Zhou Runfa, he put his face on the painter. Zhou Runfa is just an ordinary person, and Li Wen made up everything to get rid of his guilt, so the conclusion is that there is no painter in the world.
2. Li asked himself
Li asked this person is very insidious, Li asked after being caught by the police immediately thought of the fictional character Wu Fusheng to bear the crime for himself.
Wu Fusheng doesn't exist, but Li Wen shapes Wu Fusheng out of his other personality and pushes what he has done to Wu Fusheng. To some extent, Li Wen is Wu Fusheng, so we say that Li Wen is a painter.
3. The painter is Ruan Wen
In the end, Xiuqing stopped the ship and said that they were just like the ship going with the flow. There was Ruan Wen's last line: he lived next to me and hanged the sky. All kinds of actions show that this woman is not simple.
What's more, Ruan Wen of Mingming knew Li and asked why he said he didn't know him. He tried his best to wash himself out. Many people guessed that she was the boss behind the scenes.
There are three painters
Some netizens speculated that there were three painters. The first generation of Painters (Zhou Runfa), the second generation of painters Li Wen, and the third generation of painters Xiuqing said "the last transaction" when they handed over their identities. Wash your hands when it's over '.
These four kinds of guesses, Xiaobian thinks that the most reasonable one is the painter's real identity, which is actually Li Wen's guess. Remember! All the memories of Li Wen can't be absolutely believed and mislead the police.
From inspector he Weilan (played by Zhou Jiayi) to the reclusive Ruan Wen (played by Zhang Jingchu), she started to push. Ruan Wen's memory, she looked at the picture in her hand and thought to say that she didn't know Li Wen or what his name was. She only knew that Li Wen lived next door to her home.
Ruan Wen does not have a deep relationship with Li Wen, all of which is Li Wen's imagination. When you look back and think carefully after watching the complete "matchless", you will find that the painter Wu Fusheng played by Zhou Runfa does not exist, and Li Wen played by Guo Fucheng is the painter.
At the beginning of the film, the police station is actually a story that has already been prepared, just to let itself escape.
Unmatched painter's real identity revealed "unmatched" is used to describe the real product. Ruan Wen and Li Wen's feelings in the film are nihilism, and the relationship between the boss and Li Wen is nihilism. Li Wen and the face changing woman are even more false. Nothing in the counterfeit money group is real, and it will eventually be nihilism. Frankly speaking, almost all the plots about Li Wen in the film are fantasies of Li Wen.
In the film, Zhang Jingchu plays Ruan Wen, the No. 1 woman in Li Wen's ideal world. In his youth, the two were living together in different countries. Ruan Wen was very accomplished in art, and was discovered by famous companies.
Li Wen has been imitating his predecessors because of his paintings. He has not been ignored by the market because of his lack of innovation. After being hit, he decided to make counterfeit coins. The love between the two ended. Of course, this is an assumption. The fact is that Ruan Wen is the next door neighbor he adores and never gets love.
Ruan Wen was originally a painter, but her paintings did not have the creativity of artistic genius, because she was too good at manipulation, and the precise sense of order and the creativity of the sky are usually contrary.
Obviously, the painting world is not her stage. Van Gogh, a young woman who made a little mistake that women all over the world would make, was killed by a man next door who was secretly in love with his own psychological distortion. Her destiny could not belong to her.
It's the painting that has been repeatedly derogated to the mud. It can be her best work. Fate can be described if she is a 'painter'.
And it was not until the end of the film that we found out that all this was actually a fabrication of Li Wen, with the purpose of deceiving the police and concealing the crimes he had committed.
In fact, the ultimate boss of "painter" played by Chow Yun Fat doesn't exist at all. All criminal acts are led by Li Wen. Therefore, at the beginning of the film, the man "painter" is very clean, and he can't find any criminal evidence, because he doesn't exist at all!
In addition, at last, we finally understand the meaning of the title "matchless". Maybe on the one hand, it means the matchless deception in the world. On the other hand, the counterfeit money group is actually led by Li Wen, not by the painter and his two people.
Then who is the 'painter', of course, some people know that only the screenwriter can answer this question, but he never told anyone from the beginning to the end.
'painter' is just a code name. If you don't look at the face, you know that 'painter' has been living in every non-linear plot until the end of the last time, the painter is finished.
In the memory of the painter, Wu Shu taught him that sentence and the picture, so it was concluded that the three generations of painter really printed counterfeit banknotes.
It's just that the painter tells a story about himself with Chow Yun fat's face. The face of the 'painter' has been changing, but the character has never changed. In this era of 'looking at the face', the 'painter' chose to look at the temperament mainly.
