This is a very good movie, the kind of master class. With my comprehension and writing skills, it may take three or five more brushes to write something decent. I have also read the movie reviews written by other people on the Internet and on the WeChat official account. Most of them are nonsense, full of messy, invalid or even wrong information. What I can't stand is that some people use entertaining Internet language to interpret such a movie. It's a masterpiece, so I decided not to watch it. I couldn't find a person who could sit down quietly and say a few decent words in this noisy country. I'm going to briefly write a little bit and the biggest insight after brushing it up is that the rural literary and artistic youth hate their hometown and want to escape from their hometown, but they are trapped by reality and finally have to go back to their hometown to reconcile with those things that they can't understand. Even choose to die in his hometown, such a thing.
Why am I talking about such a thing? Because I used to be such a literary and artistic youth, but I was stubborn and firmly stayed in a foreign land. There were twists and turns, persecution from reality, persuasion from family members, and even relatives, friends and classmates looking for opportunities for me to develop in my hometown, but in the end, I chose to stay in this city. Fortunately, compared with all the cities I have been to , Now this city is my favorite, or the area I live in now is the most suitable for my needs in all aspects, such as the old and new level of the community, the convenience of life, the degree of independence I can achieve, and it is very important The point is that there is an environment suitable for my road running.
Of course, there must be such areas in other cities, but I stayed at the right time, and this is my opportunity and my well-being. I don't have to spend futile efforts to find a better place until my current residence doesn't meet my needs.
If I go back to my hometown, all the predicaments of the male protagonist in that film will become my predicament, and even I am even more preoccupied than him, because my hometown does not have young people who walk and debate whether the Quran can be integrated with modern society. The writer who pretends to be generous in discussing literature with you but is irritated by your opinion and finally walks away will definitely not have a township enterprise owner who wastes precious time sitting down to read your manuscript and listen to your publishing plan. In my hometown, there are corrupt, sophisticated, and snobbish grassroots cadres and villagers, full of extravagance, meaningless vulgarity, and mercenary and comparing with each other. It was a piece of extremely barren and hard soil, which could not bloom any flower of literature, art and thought.
If I go back to my hometown, I will hide my hobbies for movies, music, and reading. Before I drive a good car and buy a set of commercial housing in the county town with a price comparable to a second-tier city, I'd better Don't show it at all, because it will be ridiculed by people. Even if they don't say it, they will compare in their hearts. What about graduating from college? It's not nothing. Look at those children, who are as old as him, and have two sons. . Of course, it would be a big joke if I was still wearing running clothes and running in the fields of hope every day. The fellow villagers would think that I was gay and had a problem with my brain. Besides, the mountains and forests are now being sold to the brick kilns by village cadres, and the pollution is so severe that I can’t even run if I want to.
The standard is single, the diversity is rejected, and the fault tolerance rate is low. In your hometown, you can only follow the set route and move forward as lively as everyone else. If you follow the trail, you will appear out of place.
Now I only have two long vacations to go home every year, and I don’t go back during the three-day vacation. Usually, I spend more time with my parents on the phone, which is enough. In order to achieve the reputation of filial piety, I don't think those days will be happy. I like going back during the 11th long holiday. Those who went out to work and do business have not come back. The whole village is empty. I don’t need to talk to too many old classmates and distant relatives who are destined to have nothing to do with me in this life. I will be bored to death. . In fact, the Chinese New Year is not bad, because I haven't been successful, and many relatives who are not very close by blood are neglected, and the people who come to the door are relatives and friends who have a good relationship, so I am relatively relaxed. I don't even bother to drop by. For me, everything in my hometown, as long as my parents live well, as long as I meet my close relatives and friends, that's fine, I don't want to know about the rest.
So you - no, it's me - you can only go far away, in a place where there is no rural network, live quietly, be free to perform literature and art, and run wildly. I would rather die alone in a foreign country without accomplishing anything than go back to my hometown to be one of them. Also because of this idea, the last scene of the film made me very depressed. Not to mention that my parents and I don't need to reconcile, even if I do, I don't want to go down to the bottom of the well voluntarily like the male protagonist, because the meaning behind this action is that he not only reconciles with his father, but also with the people he spurned and looked down upon before. He chose to stay, to integrate, and to give up his imagination of life.
But I understand his choice, because I have a foreign land and this place, but he does not.
After the second brush, there may be more insights and ideas. If you like this movie too, or you also have a hometown that you don't want to go back to, I welcome you to come and chat with me.
