I came across an article introducing "Cherish Love" on a film review official account of Southern Weekend, but this film has been lying quietly on my computer for more than a year. If I don't have enough mental preparation, this kind of movie will The movie still has to be watched carefully - I say this, not to say that it is not good, but, do you have enough psychological capacity to bear its "good"?
It's not so classic, but at least, to say it's "good", the first point is that it is a mirror of real life. The outstanding contemporary Hungarian film director Bela Tal once said: The essence of film is to touch the hard-working people with the lens. When he first picked up the camera, he had an urge to "shoot real things, get close to real people". As we all know, the real world is not a fairy tale world, and when people watch movies, most of the time they want to relax and release. Life is full of misfortunes, who wants to be abused through movies?
However, the cherished story is worth touching with the lens.
A sixteen-year-old girl, with a certain sadness in her eyes, she tried hard to touch the world, but the world was thousands of miles away. Yes, she is still trying to live. No matter how many blows and pains life has brought her, she still holds her son in one hand and her mentally retarded daughter in the other, walking in life.
Outside the plain screen, there is a fierce drum beat that hits the heart: Live! Live!
Living is never easy. Because of this, the film is more inspiring. The real inspiration is that no matter what fate gives, you must hold on to everything you cherish, and survive the storm. Death is too easy, death is liberation and defeat. One can die, one can go to the doomed death, but one cannot be defeated and die. This is the most moving part of life.
In reality, the future of such a girl is still slim.
why me?
God will never answer. Maybe the so-called positive energy can't save the predicament, but cherish, or cherish this one-time life.
The 2010 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Precious Mom. In the movie, the actress had two scenes where her acting skills exploded. The first scene was standing downstairs and scolding Zhen Ai, and the other scene was crying in the social worker's office about her mental journey.
I used to think that Quentin's films had the most words like "fuck" and "shit". "Cherish" has basically surpassed Quentin in this regard. You will be amazed at the richness of the swear words and the complete body language of the black people at the bottom of the United States. To cherish mother is to sing a black rap rap. The key is that the whole process is watertight and makes you dizzy. There is no doubt that the real black district of New York can only be darker than this. Movies, after all, are just an artistic presentation of life. A child whose family grows well without haze may not be able to accept such a mother at all, and will probably ask, "How can there be such a mother in this world?"
Children, this is the so-called "one hundred people, all kinds of people" (Xiaoxinyu).
Sins you haven't seen happen every day under this sunlight, and you haven't seen them, doesn't mean they don't exist. In the most depraved place, people are rolling in poverty and corruption. The so-called beauty is the singing and dancing on the TV screen. It is because of this that human beings need to progress, and because of this, people need to be educated, able to read, write, and draw. Otherwise, history will go back to the era of drinking blood. At that time, there was no concept of "incest". Like animals, people could "eat, drink, and roll in the garbage to create the next generation."
In this sense, cherished parents are nothing but savage humans without evolution. Unqualified and uneducated. Facing this civilized world like beasts, the only thing they want to connect with this civilized world is that they can get some minimum guarantees for survival through the welfare security system of this world. These people have no value to create, and don't want to create value, they are born and live, and the rest of the time is like a whale nesting on the sofa. However, even such a human being is not without feeling.
So, the climax of Cherish Mom's complaint is: Who's going to love me?
Who will love me? Who will love me?
No matter how much you hate this woman, at that moment, she was brought to an unsolved philosophical proposition: who will love me?
The logic could even go like this: No one loves me, so I don't need to love anyone. How the world treats me, I can only repay the world viciously.
Seeing this, many people are already familiar with it. Anyone who has visited the "Parents are a scourge" group knows that no matter what their behavior patterns are, in fact, in essence, these people are just giant babies. They live only to pass the years. Just like animals, they need to eat, drink, sleep, and just to survive. There is essentially no development in such a life, because in the eyes of these people, love is given. That is, they are nothing more than passive recipients. At this point, the meaning of cherishing is even more prominent. Cherish Ai is a giver despite being wounded by "love". She loves the world and has good wishes for the world. She also wants to go to high school and college, she also wants to read to her own children, and she also wants to be a good mother; she loves others, loves her own children, loves Miss Yu, love those kind people. She is an active person, no longer a passive accessory, waiting to be "loved". It is precisely because she sees herself as an independent individual, a subjective person, that she can detach from her mother's world.
In fact, in the end, both our audience and the cherished and social workers in the film felt that the cherished mother was deplorable and despicable, and that she had no possibility of redemption, nor was it even necessary. The sadness is greater than the death of her heart, and she can only walk past her silently and push away her hand for help, whether it is spiritual or life, and say: I will never see you again.
The little cabbages must be familiar with the words that cherished their mother. How many Chinese-style scourges may not necessarily be physical violence, but they have been mentally dissolving the value of their children, making them feel useless, and finally control their children for their own cowardly life. Purpose of service.
It doesn't matter, Zhen Ai has come out. She used to look forward to her mother's mother's love, and she couldn't leave her like she was severely hypnotized. However, she has someone she needs to protect - her own son, and being a mother is strong. This is a powerful spiritual force. As a mother, a cherished mother is the other extreme. In order to get some humble "love", to be valued and needed, she even dedicates her daughter. A true mother, or a true parent, is not about meeting any of their children's needs right away, but, behind them, always by their side when they need protection.
But what about "protection" for someone who doesn't even have his own independent personality? What about "lovers"?
Who will love me?
The answer to this question should be: I come to love me.
If you don't even love yourself, how can you force others to love you?
These philosophical cause and effect, the cherished mother will never understand in her whole life, she just happens to be a human being, but it is far from "human beings".
That's why cherished education runs through much of the film. In "The Other Half of the Sky", when the two authors are thinking about global women's issues, the ultimate destination is "education". This is precisely the thing that Cherish Mother most abandons in the movie.
According to the survey, the most scientific and effective female contraceptive method is education. The higher the level of education, the more sensitive women are to population quality. Truly effective contraception is the result of women's active choice. In the movie, the cherishing mother even welcomes childbirth. She doesn't care what kind of child is born, whether it is mentally retarded or not, and what the future will be like, she only cares that one more child can receive more relief funds. Because of the limitation of education, her vision can only be so small, and her understanding of the world is only this. It is difficult for you to blame such mothers. We are all too familiar with them. In rural China, there are not a few such women. They don't care about their own values, and they are also the strongest defenders of patriarchal values. Like a cheap clown, they not only wait for men's alms, but also pass on these values from generation to generation. Thinking harms people, and thinking imprisons people. To break this wall, we still have to rely on education. Only those who can read and write can have the opportunity to touch the light of human civilization.
So, in the final analysis, cherishing herself and what she has been through has to be different from her mother. That's the ultimate inspiration for this gloomy and depressing film - know yourself, get educated, get out there, and love yourself.
Perhaps the journey of destiny is still breathtakingly difficult, but at least he has overcome himself, at least he has felt himself, and only himself is the only one who can redeem himself.
PS Love Tips: Don't watch it when you're in a bad mood, don't watch it when the cabbage collapses. It takes time and mood to watch such a movie, and of course, it is best not to watch it when you are a teenager.
