He's Jack.

-Random thoughts on the movie "It seems that an old friend is coming"

Did Jack bury Thomson or did Thomson bury Jack? Or, just one jack buried another jack, and one Thomson buried another Thomson? None of this may matter. What the director is determined to do is to let the story begin with death.

Our hero seems to have disappeared from people's sight for six years, and now he has suddenly returned to his hometown. Everything seems to have gone back to the past, and the villagers in the village were very enthusiastic at the moment they recognized him-this old friend has not seen him for many years, and even if there was any bad blood before, it passed with time. But was it like this before? Our hero is full of doubts.

For the time being, everyone regards him as Jack, even though our hero's gentleness makes everyone a little uncomfortable-he was not like this before. But after six years, who can say that a person will not change? You can be impressed in three days, let alone six years. Moreover, this jack who suddenly appeared in front of everyone is so polite and conforms to everyone's desire to be a man. Why not accept it? Is it necessary to have more doubts? -Trust your eyes!

When all people believe in their eyes, only dogs believe in their noses. So it barked a few times. Unfortunately, it is not human language, and it is a pity that no one can translate it on the spot, so that the truth of the matter is quietly covered up. Since everyone, including Laura, believes that the person who appears in front of everyone is Jack, it must be Jack-because everyone calls him Jack. Therefore, let's believe that the person in front of us is Jack.

The embers of war are the desolation of the land. Jack is determined to make this land grow something. Jack is familiar with the character of this land. He knows what to plant on this land-although he doesn't know what he will reap. This land once belonged to him and still belongs to him, but he is determined to make this land belong to the people on this land. Jack is unwilling to accept desolation. Jack wants to change. Jack knows that the nature of this land is rich rather than barren.

But it must be proved in an appropriate way that this land is rich. However, what is the appropriate way? Jack's plan is to divide the land that originally belonged to him into small pieces and rent it to everyone for farming. Then everyone can finally buy the small piece of land that he manages according to the harvest, and everyone can own a small piece of land-the procedure is simple, just sign a contract. At first, no one believed that he could get a small piece of land, but in black and white, even if he didn't trust anyone, he had to believe the contract signed by Jack Summersby.

That contract means that everyone, us and everyone can have a good life from now on. That contract means that there is hope for life. In our words, this contract also means that everyone will be rich together. Then the contract is equal. This contract is democracy-this is the proper way that Jack found. Because he hasn't found a better way yet.

Everyone signed a contract with Jack. Everyone believes that they signed a contract with Jack. Everyone believes that the person in front of us is Jack-who wants to doubt that the person who brings us good hope is not Jack?

But there is one person who knows that he is not Jack. Laura knows. Laura is a wife. Laura knew from her wife's feelings that he was not Jack. It's just that beautiful Laura fell in love with this strange man at first sight. Since everyone says he is Jack, he is the man God gave her. It doesn't matter if you can't catch anything, but you must catch love. So Laura knows, but Laura will never tell the truth-the truth is, she loves this man, and she is Mrs. Summersby.

Yes, this man changed everything in this village. What is thriving in this land today is hope and happiness. At least so far, no one cares about the truth. We cannot doubt those who bring us the gospel. Isn't it? The cry of the newborn baby is so bright. He will be baptized in this land under a legal name.

It's just that the truth will never allow itself to be covered up forever, but will be opened by every accidental opportunity. We say, this is called paper can't wrap fire. Jack, he is responsible for what he did before. What did Jack do before? Someone accused Jack of being a murderer-Jack has killed people before, and Jack must be hanged. And the relevant evidence shows that he is Jack.

The only way for Jack to save himself is to prove to the judge that he is not Jack. Except for Laura, except for the defense lawyer, except for the person who was jealous of Jack because of love-as for the dog who knew the truth, it had died inexplicably-all the people were witnesses, federal detectives, lawyers, people who worked in that land, and himself, all of them were proving that he was Jack, and he was the Jack who signed the contract as Jack. Jack is determined to convince everyone that he is Jack. After searching hard, he found that only by that name did he have a home. If he is not Jack, if he is someone other than Jack, then he will lose Laura, lose his home, he will have nothing, and he will fall into the fate of a stray dog-then everything will go back to the past and he will not need it.

Living outside the name Jack doesn't necessarily mean anything. In other words, the whole meaning of life-contract, credit, love, family and the future hope and happiness of this land-depends on this name. Losing this name means losing all this. But the name also means gallows and death.

We must seize all this. Laura must be persuaded, and Laura who is committed to herself, Laura of two of a kind, must be persuaded to understand that I am Jack. Laura, you know what? You can't use your personal feelings as evidence to prove the facts. Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? Your love is not enough to prove that the man standing in front of you is not jack; Your love can only show that you love the man standing in front of you. Laura, I believe how you feel. I have no doubt about your love, but I swear to God that name is not a lie. The gallows will prove that all this is true, not a dream.

He went to the gallows, indicating that everyone's hope is still there, indicating that the contract signed between man and hope is not empty talk. They watched hopefully as he walked to the gallows. At the scene of death, there was only one heartbreaker, Laura. Only Laura is heartbroken, and her hope is different-"I don't care if you hug me today, I want you to hug me every day."

And we, the millions of viewers in Qian Qian, accompanied by Laura and Mrs. Jack Summersby, were heartbroken outside the scene.

From death to death. One jack buried another jack, and now he goes back to the other jack and walks to the gallows, because that jack has died. The story should end here. But the clever director took the liberty of adding a spire to the church. It seems-

The story of piercing the sky must be sharp.
