The cast is very strong. Ge You is really suitable for playing this kind of playboy. Teacher Gong Li has performed at a high level as always, and the performances of Guo Tao and Ni Dahong are also unique.
The 1940s: The most attractive thing at the beginning is Ge You's skilled and enduring singing, which is very age-like. Jiazhen hugged her child at the entrance of the gambling hall and cried so hard that her expression and facial features were so unbelievable.
When Fengxia took Ge You home, Ge You's expression really looked like a good husband who had rehabilitated from a playboy after he hadn't seen his family for a long time.
Chunsheng's life experience tells us that joining the People's Liberation Army in 1949 is the best choice!
The part of the PLA brother stabbed into the shadow puppet and held it up to the sky made me feel sour.
The part where Ge You and Guo Tao wore national army clothes and sang shadow puppets to the PLA was also a real magic reality.
1950s: Niu Ben, Niu Mayor, hahaha.
This is not the wood of my house, it is the wood of the counter-revolutionary.
When Ge You saw Long Er's panicked and weird expression on the way to be executed, he ran to urinate under the tree in fright, and he was so frightened that he hit the tree when he heard the gunshots. This part is really the best in the whole film.
As said in the movie, if Long Er hadn't won his family property back then, he would have been pointed at him. (But I think if this line is not arranged in the movie, it will have a better blank effect)
"What is the composition of our family?" "The poor are good, the poor are good, nothing is better than being a commoner."
Mounting the crumpled revolutionary proof from the pocket on the wall is also the biggest proof that the wealthy family can survive in the new situation.
A few words from the mayor of Niu: "Running to communism, still worrying about nothing to eat?"
"Fish, meat, kill us."
But isn't the food in the commune dining hall still noodles?
You can see how smart Jiazhen is as a woman in the part where the shadow puppets are removed, and the dialogue about liberating Taiwan later is also very interesting.
In order to protect his sister, the son dumped noodles on the child's head. In fact, it is not clear that he is rich and noble, but he was frightened by the saying "You are a counter-revolutionary" from the masses. The way Fugui beat his son was exactly the same as when his father beat him when he lost his family property to Long Er.
Youqing said that he didn't like rich and noble singing, but it was only because of the day's business. It's just a little fun in a family's life.
"The district chief can't help but let people sleep wow!" To defeat formalism and personality cult, start with Jiazhen.
Confused point: Was Chunsheng not required to bear legal responsibility for manslaughter as the district mayor in those days?
"...the cow will become a communist society, and we will eat meat every day..." It's a pity that Youqing can't wait for that day anymore.
The euphemism is to be afraid that Jiazhen will be sad, but I think it is really inhuman to not let the family take a last look when someone dies.
Dumplings are a symbol of celebration and reunion, yet...
1960s: Er Xi came over without saying a word and "red" the house for a while. When he bought the account of Lao Zhang's family, it also reflected the distinctive brand of the times at that time.
Observing the clothes and faces of the crowd, I found that the costumes and makeup designs of this movie are very particular.
Chunsheng's gift was Chairman Mao, so why not?
Chunsheng, Qiusheng (forgot to mention who was born in autumn?)
Under the general environment at that time, the older the thing, the more corrupt it is, but now it encourages the promotion of excellent traditional culture.
"When will the chicks grow up?" "Goose...sheep...cow...when they grow into cows, our life will be better."
But everyone understands in their hearts that no matter what happens to a chicken, it will never become a cow.
"The steamed bun rides on the back of the cow"...
At last:
Liu Tianchi's acting skills and looks are really average, and expectations are too high for her.
It is true that the whole movie has too much to say, but it is difficult to control it within two hours. This is also a pity of this movie.
1994 was a famous film year. It was not a loss to "Pulp Fiction" in Cannes that year. After all, Ge You won the best actor.
