that year, Lijiang. On the shore of Lugu Lake, Mosuo people, the legendary daughter country. About 4,000 years ago in China, after the patriarchal clan society became the dominant social and cultural system of human beings, the matriarchal clan society is still here, just like the Grand View Garden in Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", no matter how chaotic the society outside the garden, I myself Still elegant.
"Walking marriage", a marriage relationship of "night marriage and morning separation" (both men and women do not get married, the man only lives in the woman's flower house at night and leaves before dawn), which is a unique way of marriage here, and is not subject to the law constraint. If the man does not come to climb the woman's flower house for three consecutive days or the woman does not open the window for the man, then this "walking marriage" will end so peacefully. There is no "little third child" or "extramarital affair", nor is there any property war or child custody battle after divorce. There is pure love between men and women, as innocent as the campus.
In the WeChat of the Mosuo girl tour guide, it was written: If you don't leave, I won't give up.
Two Inseparable
"Vincent" is Tim Burton's Disney debut, about a lonely seven-year-old "Vincent", his mind is full of all kinds of weird and novel ideas, But suppressed by adult society, he fell into deep loneliness, living in a world full of ghosts in meditation.
Although the film is only over 5 minutes long, it has been well received by critics. This short film can be said to set the tone of Tim Burton's later films, Tim Burton's gothic style, gloomy, mysterious, dark atmosphere and character modeling.
After the filming of "Vincent" was completed, the executives of Disney decided that the work was terrifying, dark and unsuitable for children and therefore blocked it.
In fact, "Vincent" should be a true portrayal of Tim Burton's younger self. This ghost-like character was always kept at home by his parents when he was young. The long-term closed and lonely living environment made him not gregarious. He was just used to immersing himself in his fantasy small world and dreaming his own strange dreams.
Thirty years after "Vincent" was banned, the stubborn and outspoken Tim Burton remade "Vincent" into "Frankenstein" and put it on the screen again.
To be honest, Frankenstein is still a movie that is not suitable for children to watch in the traditional view. Which parent is willing to take their child into the theater to watch a movie full of horror, darkness, absurdity, and death, although the end of the film is full of sunshine. Might as well go to see "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" or something, let the children get a little education in laughter and feel that life is full of sunshine.
As a counterattack to those who do not understand, disagree or even ridicule Tim Burton, Tim Burton created the nature teacher Vygowski in the film, who is eccentric in appearance, kind and enthusiastic in heart, knowledgeable Rich teacher. Actually, take a closer look, does Vygowski look like Tim Burton himself, especially his hairstyle, forehead, nose, face shape, and even glasses.
Thus, the most ironic side appeared. When the people in the town wanted to drive Mr. Vygowski out of the town, "Tim Burton" appeared, and he used his stand-in to teach those ignorant people a good lesson, saying: This misunderstanding is caused by Your ignorance, that's how you describe it, right? I mean "ignorant superficial, uncivilized". People who don't understand science will be afraid. Like a puppy afraid of lightning and balloons. Because your head is empty, you see science as a monster. Your heads are out of whack, but I can educate your children well. I hope this will give them some brains! thanks.
If the "science" in the words is replaced by "my movie", everything is clear. Tim Burton takes this opportunity to take this opportunity to give a blissful attack on Disney's blocking of his debut, against those who oppose his films, and on so-called traditional values, to explain why Vincent was blocked and 30 years have passed. The so-called mainstream culture hates him for doubting and criticizing him.
Tim Burton seems to want to tell the world that in the past 30 years, he has not forgotten the past, has not forgotten his original beginning, and has not departed from his unique Gothic style. In the past 30 years, he has been insisting that it was right to insist on the beginning, just because of his "not leaving".
Three do not give up
"Frankenstein" is actually a very warm and emotional movie, especially the pure relationship between Viktor and the puppy Spocky. The puppy Spurkey is the only playmate of Viktor who is lonely and has no friends, and Spurky the puppy is always by Viktor's side. It's silly, but it brings a lot of simple happiness to Viktor. , is also Victor's only psychological sustenance. But a car accident smashed the puppy Sparky to pieces. Victor couldn't accept the fact that the puppy Spaki had left, and used "Lightning" to bring it back to life.
But at this time, the puppy Spurky is no longer the previous Spurky, and it has been hit by a car to pieces. Victor used needle and thread to stitch it together, there are patches all over his body, wagging his tail can shake his tail off, drinking water can make him drink a fountain, and even seeing himself in the mirror can be startled by his own ugliness . But for Victor, it's still his favorite puppy, Spaki, no matter what it becomes.
It's just because of Victor's love for the puppy Spaki and his "not abandoning" it.
Years will always make us old, youth is gone. But no matter what, even if your hair is sparse, your face is wrinkled, your skin is shrivelled, and the loess is no longer in front of your chest, so what, I still love you as I did before, I still love you as I used to regard you as a "baby", just because I The love for you will never give up on you.
4. You will never leave, I will never give
up. At the end of the film "Frankenstein", the puppy Spaki, who is regarded as a monster by everyone, rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation when everyone faced the sea of fire and did not dare to save people. Rescue the mayor's niece Aisha and the owner Victor, who did not abandon her, but sacrificed his life. If the film ends here, it will be a perfect demonstration of "never betray", which is typically ironic.
However, since the old club has admitted that "adults also have a time when their minds are not clear", and allowed themselves to remake "Vincent", which was blocked 30 years ago, then at the end of the film, the over fifty-year-old Tim Bolton, in the face of his old club, finally made a little concession, let the puppy Spurkey come back to life with the help of the adults, and let the sun shine into his Gothic style, which can be regarded as A break from the one from 30 years ago.
Just because you don't leave, I don't give up.
When I was writing the film review, I happened to see Shenzhen Satellite TV's New Year's Eve concert. Cui Jian actually appeared in this official program for the first time and sang the sensational "Rock and Roll on the New Long March" and "Flower Girl". This angry youth, who was not accepted by the mainstream culture at the time, still encourages today's young people to dare to doubt the previous generation, but at the same time urges young people not to forget to gain experience and absorb nutrients from the previous generation.
It was something he would never have said before, like Tim Burton used to be.
Five Never Leaving, Never Abandoning
"Frankenstein" is actually a story of "not leaving, never abandoning". Victor will never give up on Spurky the dog, Spyker the puppy will never give up on Viktor; Disney will never give up on Tim Burton, and Tim Burton will never give up on Disney Abandoned; in the end, it was Tim Burton's persistence in his film style.
