Unfortunately, before the chick turned into a goose, Youqing was crushed to death by the wall that the car fell over. Chunsheng. Ironically, Youqing was sent out by the rich and noble to participate in school activities because the district chief came to inspect, and the reason for the district chief to visit the local area was to see Xu Fugui, who had not seen him for many years.
The series of plots in the movie show a strong deliberate sculpting, but who can deny the drama of life?
People in works of art are in a sense perfect: perfect beauty, perfect ugliness, perfect justice, perfect evil, perfect luck, perfect unlucky.
Xu Fugui in the film is really miserable and perfect. During the period of the Republic of China, he lost his family property by gambling money and forced his wife and son to sing shadow puppets to make a living. In the steel-making era, the son was crushed to death by a falling wall, and the mute daughter died of excessive bleeding after childbirth during the ten-year turmoil.
Fortunately, the ending seemed sweet, the lame son-in-law served meals, and the old couple went on to educate their grandson: "When a chicken grows up, it becomes a goose, when a goose grows up, it becomes a sheep, when a sheep grows up, it becomes a cow, and when the cow grows up, it becomes a cow. When you get older, you also grow up." Well, it's not communism anymore, it doesn't matter, the key is to grow up and live.
Really, it's not easy for anyone in the film:
Wife Jiazhen: She was exhausted by her husband, and then she came back strong. brunette.
Son: I was dragged to do the revolution in elementary school. I haven't slept well since the day I was born. I managed to find an opportunity to sneak out to sleep at the foot of the wall during the revolution, and was "killed by mistake" by Chunsheng.
Daughter: I became mute because of a high fever very early on. I witnessed the downfall of my family and the death of my younger brother, but I couldn't express the pain. I finally married a good husband, but he was lame. In the end, he died of excessive bleeding after giving birth.
There is also the county magistrate who was finally overthrown by the infinite loyalty to the revolution, and the down-and-out Changchunsheng in the period of socialist transformation and turmoil, as well as the lame son-in-law who lost his wife...
But Xu Fugui has gone through so much hardship The couple did not fall down in the end. After all, they can always get through. How tenacious the vitality of human beings is, no matter how difficult the living conditions and how great the mental pressure is, there will always be a day in the past.
What is the director trying to convey? Is it really important to live? No matter what happens, you have to eat, sleep, and work? Various cruel plots tell us that many things happen that we cannot control or predict, but life must go on.
So I was full of expectations before watching, but after watching it was extremely heavy, I actually only saw one subtext: I must accept my fate. If you accept your fate, you will be calm. Even if you are not calm, there is nothing you can do, so in the end you are forced to be calm.
The reason why human society has survived to this day clearly shows that people who live uncomfortably and then commit suicide will always be in the minority.
Knowledge again.
