Really, this movie has been lying on my hard drive for a few years. When I opened it this time, I watched it with the mentality of "betting the dog must die." Who knew that I would cry after watching it. The scene of burning paper for Youqing, and the scene of Erxi picking up Fengxia, they were all touched by the subtleties, until the touching turned into numbness.
It wasn't until later when Fengxia entered the delivery room, the nurse became a popular young general, and Erxi invited Professor Wang from the cowshed. I know that when the plot has come to this point, the emotions have been gathered, and Fengxia will definitely have an accident. But I literally folded my hands towards the screen, hoping nothing would happen. When the phrase "mother and son are safe" came out, I thought it was finally time to turn things around, who knows.
This drama hammers too much pain together in just two hours. Wealth is what Wang Xiaobo wrote in "The Golden Age", "the cow that grows old day by day after being hammered". So uncomfortable. Feeling uncomfortable across the screen. I wish the ending had arrived half an hour earlier, at the moment when the firecrackers rang out and everyone was happy during the wedding. At that moment, Fengxia's mother also cried, but there was joy in her crying.
In fact, when the scene of entering the delivery room came, I already felt that something was wrong. According to the normal distribution, this family should not be so miserable. But the movie may be to draw out the most deviated from the normal and the most typical for people to see. From the characters to the events he experienced.
To tell the truth, I am really anxious for the rich and precious off-screen. When I gamble, I disdain and see jokes, because it is my first time to go to Macau, I bet small and won some money, but I will deliberately choose to lose all before leaving. The memory I wish I had left for myself was not to gamble. But after this movie, my anxiety is that you don't stuff Professor Wang's steamed buns at once, don't give him water, and return the freshman porcelain jar. But it didn't work. But I really understood that knowledge is productivity and life. At the same time, I want to watch Ji Xianlin's "Cowshed Miscellaneous Memories".
This film is cut by age. In fact, the "Story of Your Life" question is also very suitable. Those events, such as the steelmaking, the destruction of the Four Olds, the Cultural Revolution, etc., are all the most difficult days. Recently, I happened to read "Japan's Post-War Economic History". From the 1950s to the 1980s after the war, people realized the economic take-off, which is very sad to watch. I even think of Kennedy's speech in the sixties, "We Must Go to the Moon." I often wonder, why do we belong to these in the film. why.
See the past and know the present. The fate and opportunity of human beings really need to fully take into account the process of history. That is an extremely huge potential energy. At the same time, please be really hungry for knowledge, the more I know, the more I can win. For example, in gambling, you have to know that your opponents are actually Bernoulli, Gauss, and Kelly. Why challenge yourself to a math formula?
Finally, I must praise Gong Li. A lot of times, it is her motherhood that impresses me. Her complete interpretation of a mother's life. I also checked it out. She was only twenty-nine years old at the time, but she was ill at the end of the film. I think I did see the hardships a mother experienced in her life and her commitment. Thank you for passing it on to me so vividly.
