It's so painful. Despite the many other elements to regulate, there is still inevitable repression. 01 At the beginning, when the sky "eats oranges", to the cat who was asked to take care of it but never appeared, to the dry well that fell into it and was not found for several hours, and finally to Emi herself - is it real? A novelist is indeed an identity who can do whatever he wants, and the rules of his whimsical world are formulated by him. This sentence not only refers to the narrative of the story from the perspective of Zhong Xiu, who is trying to become a novelist, but also refers to the director of the film, Li Cangdong. 02 Funny and realistic contrasts, scenes that connect with reality. Zhong Xiu followed BEN to a certain street market, holding cheap cold bread and drinks in his hands, looking up at the high-rise gym with bright mirrors. On their relationship is cloudy in the mud. But when Zhongxiu was about to drive a pickup truck away from BEN's garage, BEN came over and told him in a seemingly relaxed and mocking tone, "You are too serious", "You have to feel the bass in the blood and bones." At this moment, I seem to feel that sometimes BEN may suffer more than a young man like Zhong Xiu who is oppressed by the material world everywhere. 03 Zhong Xiu opened her mouth slightly, her eyes stopped in the air, and said, "The world is a mystery to me". The rules of survival have become the rules of "The Great Gatsby". Does my mother want money after leaving for 16 years? Does my father, withdrawn and violent, lock up knives to prove that he once conceived a crime... 04 There are other people's peeps everywhere, and novelists' observations everywhere. To maintain the coherence of the long two hours and thirty minutes, from the observation of the connection before and after, forming a mirror. A restaurant, a meeting with BEN's friends at BEN's house, BEN's female companion provided information for everyone. When Zhong Xiu, who was completely integrated into it, looked back at BEN, he found that he was also out of it - he even called him. yawned. For the first time, Hui Mei led Zhong Xiu back to the rental house, and the concierge's grandmother looked at her. 05 There is no doubt that the story is all made up of these three people. Each of them is like a mystery, behind which is a world that is not easily understood. But behind this difference, I feel the same between the two. Zhongxiu and Huimei are both young people at the bottom, living a dignified life without material security; Huimei and BEN have a certain mentality of wanting and abandoning everything; Zhongxiu and BEN... Pretty delicate human-to-human relationship. —————————————— The first time I clicked on the title of the film, when Zhong Xiu Huimei was working, Zhong Xiu looked up and saw the "rare sunshine", which had to be refracted from the glass of the TV tower. There is light. At the end of the film, Zhong Xiu was unable to breathe normally due to the snowy and cloudy weather, and the truck stumbled forward, and behind it was the burning scene.
So, the "burning" that this film is going to talk about, what is burning?
It is to survive. Some people seek the meaning of life, but they are often overwhelmed by the pressure of survival. The "little hunger" and "great hunger" of the African Bushes are metaphorical protagonists at all. Stress piles up from all corners of life, and there is nowhere to hide, so you can only throw yourself into the fire, with a decisive attitude, whether to shout or solve it, or say goodbye from now on.
When burning, the stance of the fire is wild. However, the nature of burning is indeed the great bitterness of existence. At first, I thought, writers should be people who care about human beings, right? To put so many real details into the work. And I often ignore the parts I don't want to see, and just follow my heart's wishes. Ashamed to think about it, I don't care about humans. But looking back, the feeling has changed. The lingering thought was why it was so painful. This is something I don't quite understand. It's like if the elephant is closed in the room, only the elephant can be seen. Is it because there is nothing but the elephant or because the eyes ignore others? In some cultures of East Asia, "suffering" is always the sign of the head. What if we let our minds go? Or is this not a matter of mentality, but in the end, the essence of suffering?
Very literary fiction movie.
