On the Oedipus Plot and Its Three Expressions

Unexpectedly, the whole story finally falls on the plot of Oedipus, and is it not panicking to write about Liang Zi who has a lung disease?

If the 1990s were partly to explain the history of their parents (Jin Sheng and certain Tao), then 2014 was the foundation for the youth's Oedipus complex. Therefore, in 2025, Dong Zijian, who met Zhang Aijia for the first time, can become Oedipus for granted. It's just that Teacher Aijia, who incarnates Iocaster, was photographed too ugly by...

26 years, the mountains and rivers are far away, the old friends are different

"Fenyang, Shanxi, is to Jia Zhangke, what Oxford is to Faulkner, and the northeastern town of Gaomi is to Mo Yan. It is painful and tender. When you reach the end of the world, you have to look back again and again."

Jia Zhangke, a film director born and raised in Shanxi Province, is one of the representatives of the sixth generation of directors, and his films have always been theories first. Segmented narrative is his favorite film technique: "Xiao Wu" has three sections of Liang...

We're gonna sing a slow song, a slow, slow song

one.

Many scenes in the film are of the gray sky and dust in a small town in Jiangxi. It was so cold outside, people were wearing padded jackets, dancing outside and making dumplings at home. At the beginning, it was distributed to friends, everyone laughed and ate happily. I made it later for my son to eat, and then I wrapped it by myself, and no one shared it. A very new and very new antique building stands in the sand, the appearance is ancient, and the paint is bright red and...

We have all become the prodigal sons of time - the old people of the mountains and rivers in my heart

There is coal in Shanxi. For men, if there is coal, there is money. For women, if there is coal, it is dirty and soil.
 
It was a place where there were no green mountains and green waters, and even a single grass was hard to see. Everywhere was gray and yellow, and when the wind blew, the mouth was full of dirt. No matter how white the woman's skin was, it was covered with a layer of ash, and the man's face and chest were black, even the crevices of his fingernails were...

Jia Zhangke, who wants to make a change

Not successful. In general, Jia Zhangke's camera language is not beautiful, the actor's tension is not enough, and the music is not too good. There is still a way to compare with Hou Hsiao-hsien. For example, when shooting small county towns, Jia Zhangke seems to be shooting photo stickers, focusing on characters everywhere, occupying most of the screen. Let the characters occupy a small half.
This film spans 25 years, 3 time periods, and different screen ratios. Jia Zhangke wanted to make...

In the second scene before Liang Zi went to the mine, he glanced awkwardly at the camera, Jia Zhangke couldn't have noticed this gangster, maybe he wanted to return to the feeling of 20 years ago, the strange and arrogant feeling, blasting off into the air a feeling he would never have in front of a...

241 spanning 26 years, this is Jia Zhangke's most ambitious film, and it's fairly well-controlled. Too much information really takes time to digest. Zhang Aijia's friendship is really scaring people to death......

The first paragraph is very good, especially those clips with DV texture, which are psychedelic in reality, and perfectly outlines that special atmosphere. But the last two paragraphs feel more and more deliberate and bland, with no surprises. The symbols and intentions in Tian's Destiny are transplanted, and Tian's Destiny is suitable for that form, but this way makes people feel very creative in emotional dramas. In the future episode, when I think it was shot by the section chief, I feel...

For some reason, the picture quality is more like a movie, the actors are more professional, and the production is better. The feeling of seeing Jia Zhangke back then is gone. The excellent thing about Jia's previous films is that you don't think what you see are actors, you think what you see are ordinary people and the most realistic China. But now, you know it's a movie. The good man of the Three Gorges is more worthy of the name of the old man of the mountains and...
