The Creative Significance of Jiupin Sesame Official;
In Bao Qingtian, the White Face of a Nine-Rank Sesame Officer, Stephen Chow is bold and fearless, making fun of Bao Qingtian with a bad face and a bad tune.
The film has weird, hazy, conspiracy, helplessness, bitterness, blood and tears and other elements. Although the plot is absurd and bizarre, it can't stop the darkness behind the smiling face. Absurdity to the extreme is seriousness to the extreme.
The film begins with Fang's defense of reversing right and wrong, mocking the lawless social situation of that era. However, a happy comedy can't stand careful scrutiny, and there are too many possibilities for such a happy ending.
If Bao Longxing hadn't bumped into a brothel by mistake, how could he have met the emperor, thus fundamentally reversing the situation of the case. It was incredible to meet the emperor in a brothel.
In such a place, there has been a turning point that subverts the whole plot. Maybe the outside world is dirtier than a brothel. At the end of the film, the audience was dumbfounded. Bao Longxing can scold the red man around the emperor in court, and then he even fights poison with poison. He first pretended to scare the witness into lying by torture, and then tricked the criminal into telling the truth in an almost rogue way.
The "nobody" in this film has defeated this dark society perfectly. However, in the sad times, how many officials can have such a sword and a complex network of contacts, which may make the audience applaud, but perhaps in Bao Longxing's heart, he hopes that this way will never be used again to exchange a person's innocence.
The little man stood in the dark corner of history and smiled proudly once and won absurdly once. The film may be exaggerated, but it is enough to arouse the audience's deep thinking about whether the justice behind the law stems from the justice of entity and procedure.
