Dignity of living but not living
Perhaps it is the best comment to express the real living conditions of the Chinese people for so many years. The sadness/sourness/humiliation/helplessness/absurdity of life is more profound by using black comedy. Some scenes are unforgettable-----Fugui received Long Er's shadow puppet, and finally began to perform in all corners of the world to survive. Under the dim light, the thin and frail Fugui opened his throat and sang with his blue veins exposed. When the camera turned, a group of...

It's been a long time since I marked it, finally I watched it
Jiazhen said, "Youqing, my mother is sorry for you, but I didn't let you sleep well when you were born." Jiazhen said, "Our Fengxia has suffered from a hard life since she was a child, and we haven't had a good day. If you don't make trouble, Let some people lively and lively on the wedding day." The fate of the characters unfortunately reflects the sadness of the era. When chickens grow up, they will become geese, goose will become sheep when they grow up, sheep will become cows...

No matter how the times change, people always have to live
I remember when I was in high school, the history teacher taught us earnestly, "You are the luckiest generation now. If you don't believe me, go to China's history, how can there be such a relatively long and stable period of peace for you to study with peace of mind." I don't know the history, but the meaning of the words seems to make people take it for granted.
A while ago, my grandfather told me about his childhood. He said that he was hungry and hungry every day. I remembered...

A comparative analysis of characters in the movie version of "Alive" and the novel version
The prop of the character Chunsheng in the movie version, the car, is used very well.
At the beginning, Chunsheng said that he likes to drive, and later he stayed in the PLA to drive. To meet Fugui again, it was Chunsheng who died of Youqing because of an...

Man lives for the sake of living itself, not for anything other than living
The movie "Alive" is hailed as a living Chinese contemporary unofficial history, and it truly lives up to its name. This is a quiet film, without much crying, grief, and exhaustion, as if it was just a commentary of the protagonist Fugui along the way. The title of the film is "Alive", but throughout the film are the deaths one after another. The protagonist Fugui lost his father in the Republic of China, his mother died in the civil war, his son was lost in the "Great Leap Forward", and he...

A very heart-wrenching movie, Jiazhen in the play never complained about wealth and honor when she encountered anything, and silently accompanied her, which caused us to...

Some people have survived, and some have died. Fate often refuses to give happiness to kind and humble people. Instead, it made those people miserable to the end. ....

Little Bun: [playing with chickens] When will they grow up?
Xu Jiazhen: Very soon.
Little Bun: And then?
Xu Fugui: And then... the chickens will turn into geese... and the geese will turn into sheep... and the sheep will turn into oxen.
Little Bun: And after the oxen?
Xu Fugui: After oxen...
Xu Jiazhen: After oxen, Little Bun will grow up.
Little Bun: I want to ride on an ox's back.
Xu Jiazhen: You will ride on an ox's back.
Xu Fugui: Little Bun won't ride on an ox... he'll ride trains and planes... and life will get better and better.
Xu Fugui: What did you name our son?
Xu Jiazhen: "Don't Gamble".
Xu Fugui: If Youqing does as daddy says, our lives will get better and better. Our family is like a little chicken. When it grows up, it becomes a goose and that will turn into a sheep. The sheep will turn into an ox.
Xu Youqing: And after the ox?
Xu Fugui: After the ox is Communism, and there will be dumplings and meat every day.
