The movie made me feel very depressed. At first, I thought maybe this is the weight of life... Later, I found that this depression did not come from the people or times in the movie, but was deliberately written by the screenwriter and director. Deliberately ugly sketch of the era...
Fugui's generation has experienced the old society, war, the founding of the nation, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, reforms... It can be said that they have seen the various faces of the times and experienced social changes, making ordinary people's joys and sorrows and love and hate. Love and hatred seem to have been diluted and numb...
However, after all, these feelings and experiences actually exist in the long river of history. One by one, real individuals are experiencing and feeling social changes with their fresh lives, and the joy and pain brought by the various forms of life. … Art is the abstraction of life, and the cinematography is an aspect of life, but I still want to say that the screenwriter is too harsh and cruel to the Fugui family. This tragic and depressing plot setting seems to be intentionally leading the audience to attribute their faults to that era...
However, when you think about it carefully, Youqing's tragedy originated from a car accident (although the plot forces the car accident to be combined with officials, formalism, and groups to make you think and make you angry), Fengxia's tragedy is also an accident. It is not even a medical malpractice after a natural childbirth. With the medical conditions and equipment of the county-level hospital at that time, even if there is an old doctor, it may not be able to save people (but the plot still overthrows the authority, persecutes intellectuals, and affects production and life. One side is forcibly placed here, making you think and make you angry)
In fact, the common people in that special era were not necessarily unhappy or unsteady. There were no thieves or hooligans on the streets. Everyone dared to help the elderly who fell, and advocated learning from Lei Feng. Cadres and experts were not much better off than ordinary people. , I didn't tear up the onion brother and the green tea bitch. But that era was really not a good era for the "elite class", and it couldn't even give people the good news of 996! So it's normal for the elites to hate him, especially a shot full of mockery of "working class leading everything". The world is supposed to be led by meritocracy who, at heart, despise workers and the toiling masses.
Because at least in that era, the counselor could not be detached from things. If there was a family planning policy in that era, then the counselor would definitely not dare and could not give birth to 3 children. In the era of reform, it has become the working class who categorically dare not and cannot. Superbirth, and my counseling can naturally be born.
Therefore, Ge You and Gong Li's acting skills are online, and the plot is catchy. It is a good movie, but this kind of deliberate guidance and satire, and the desire and praise for the right can only be a one-sided report by the social elite on their "dark times" That's all... His perspective is neither fair, nor objective, nor beautiful, deliberately done for the sake of being ugly and tragic, I can't give high marks, thank you...
