The heart is higher than the sky, and the body is inferior - Yan'er

This movie has made great efforts in terms of scene setting, character and picture processing. I think of the work "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige in the same period, which is the same classic, and I can't help feeling that although the current movie is There has been a lot of progress in high technology, but in addition to seeing gorgeous pictures, beautiful and handsome guys, we see more shoddy plots, unappetizing jokes and misleading the audience. We no longer know what is reality and what is talent. It's an illusion.

I want to comment on this movie, but I don’t know where to start. A bad movie is not worth commenting on, and a good movie doesn’t need commenting. The audience can just watch it, because there are a thousand kinds of audiences for a thousand audiences. Feelings, why talk about it?

In the play, there is an old lady like an antique, a second wife with a bodhisattva face and a scorpion heart, a third wife from an actor background, and Song Lian who is still unable to control her own destiny despite receiving the influence of new culture. There are many characters, if and only. Pick a supporting role - maid Yan'er, let's talk about it!

In fact, from the very first time I saw Yan'er, I didn't like her character very much. I always felt that since I am a maid, I have to be a little more quiet and do what a maid should do. It may not be a good thing to fly on the branch and become a phoenix. The free sparrow may be more comfortable.

When I saw the middle, I always felt that Yan'er's character was very similar to a person, but I couldn't remember it. When I saw the part where she talked back to Songlian, I suddenly thought of Qingwen in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and I thought about it carefully. The two are so similar in terms of life experience, character and final outcome.

Although they have the same personality, I like Qingwen, but I don't like Yaner very much. Let's compare the life experiences of the two:

1. Qingwen is a true temperament, and she really likes Baoyu. And Yan'er only wanted to be a concubine because she envied the pampering of the wives.

2. Baoyu really likes Qingwen. And Master Chen is just playing with Yan'er.

3. Qingwen doesn't care about Baoyu's rich family background. Yan'er is for this.

4. Qingwen knows what she wants, but she can't get rid of her own destiny. And Yan'er doesn't actually know her own heart, she's just a doll to be played with by others.

5. Qingwen was influenced by the cultural atmosphere of the big family and also studied poetry. But Yan'er didn't have such good luck.

The artistic images of the two are actually very similar, but Qingwen and Yaner live in different environments, so there are subtle differences between them.

It can be said that "the moon is rare, the colorful clouds are easy to disperse, the heart is higher than the sky, and the body is low. The romantic and agile are blamed by others, and Shouyao is mostly born because of slander." This is the best description of their fate... It

makes people pitiful and sad Sigh again...

Raise the Red Lantern quotes

  • The Third Concubine: Good or bad, it's all playacting. If you act well, you can fool other people; if you do it badly, you can only fool yourself, and when you can't even fool yourself, you just can fool the ghosts.

  • Yan'er: Who are you?

    Housekeeper: Fourth mistress, please come inside.

    Yan'er: [losing her cool] So you're the fourth mistress!

    [Yan'er rudely pulls the water bowl away from Songlian and puts clothes in it]

    Songlian: Yes! I am the fourth mistress. Bring my suitcase inside please.
