During my free time during the holidays these days, I watched a few episodes of "The Chess Player" played by Brother Baoqiang.
His acting skills are as good as ever.
He is dressed very much like Mr.
Shu, but it clearly feels like they are two people.
Bao Qiang is a school Go teacher in the play.
He has an older brother who is the captain of the criminal police.
He is short and incompetent, while his older brother is tall, steady and powerful.
Except for his mother, everyone around him could see "clearly" that Baoqiang was originally ordinary and a bit useless, but when compared with his brother, he looked even more depressed.
I remember there was a scene where his brother and his wife attended a birthday party.
Baoqiang’s wife and son were naturally there.
He came late and heard his son say outside the window that the one he admired the most was his brother.
The police captain was so majestic and his brother’s family had no children.
When Baoqiang saw his brother caressing his son’s hair slowly and lovingly with his hands, I felt a kind of hatred, jealousy, and humiliation in front of the screen...
He couldn't make any money as a Go teacher, but his beautiful wife thought he was worthless and asked for divorce, but he refused.
He also hates, humiliates, and is unwilling to accept it.
After a series of violent changes.
He "enlightened" and had a "partner" to make money together.
With money comes courage.
He began to fight back and retaliate.
His wife had already run into a tempting trap.
After Baoqiang came to the rescue, he said hurtful words.
His wife lost her job and had to postpone the divorce.
This is the coldest scene in my opinion: Bao Qiang deliberately watched his wife working without letting his mother help.
He seemed to be enjoying it and being a little proud.
The light in the kitchen was very good and the steam was steaming, but I felt a chill.
His wife's sharp and arrogant eyes were gone, and she became dazed, hesitant, and even a little afraid.
In a scene of driving on a mountain road, he ignored his wife's advice and insisted on taking a small road.
After encountering a roadblock, he started to make a loud noise and yelled and said uglier words.
His wife was angry and shocked at first, then cried and sat back in the car silently.
He once again enjoyed his "victory" and quietly looked at his wife in the rearview mirror, slowly enjoying the feeling.
He completely darkened, became numb, cruel, and cold-blooded.
📷 The two stills below are the scenes when he went to see his brother.
His brother was criticized after being reported for violations, and his Go master class was about to start the next day.
Baoqiang was not really here to comfort his brother, but specifically to let his brother attend the opening of his master class.
When he left, he said the following words very gracefully.
His brother looked confused and confused.
He knew that Baoqiang had changed and was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
📷 On the opening day, he was in high spirits and insisted on confirming that his brother was here.
He completed his "revenge" against his brother, and he even lost himself in everyone's "congratulations." Because it was his brother who he personally reported on via the radio a few days ago.
Now he comes here to comfort me hypocritically.
It is hard to imagine that after a person has experienced despair, humiliation, and low self-esteem, he can distort himself to such an outrageous level!
He watched himself step by step towards so-called success.
What I saw was the process of an ordinary man's family relationship gradually breaking and then turning dark.
📷 Desire, inferiority and jealousy can destroy true love and family affection.
However, the only part of him that still shines with humanity may be his son, but he also rationalizes all the evil in him on the grounds of treating his son.
I noticed a scene where after he yelled hysterically at his son, his son told him that when you were angry with me just now, you looked like a different person, with an expression like a bad person.
Baoqiang was stunned, and his expression was a little surprised.
Maybe the only relationship between father and son had already changed.
He was just immersed in the reasons wrapped up for himself, and continued to expand and do evil, continue to play chess, and take revenge.
