A plot in "The Thief Family" is very unforgettable-after the little boy Xiangtai took his sister to the toy store, the owner's grandfather took the initiative to give them more popsicles, and asked not to do this in the future. Xiangtai was stunned for a long time, and the thrilling thrills of stealing had already turned into smoke. After being discovered, the huge sense of shame was undoubtedly spreading all over his body. The shining sun shone, as if nailing him to a pillar of personal shame. He stood at the end of the street ugly, as if from then on, he began to look down at himself from head to toe.
It's just a small detail design, and I have seen the skill of the director Hirokazu Edema. It was Zhi Yuhe who said that when a typhoon comes, he is more concerned about the situation after the typhoon passes. After the funeral of "Haijie Diary", the death day of "Non-Stop Walking" came, and under the lens of tender feelings, there was always a calm depiction of life's misery.
The "Thief Family" that won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival this time is more like "Nobody Knows". In addition to describing the suffering of life, it also hides a cruelty. Why do six people who are not related to each other live together? My younger sister, Ya Ji, is from a wealthy family. Why is she still here to make a living by "caring"? A couple is not embarrassed or embarrassed, seemingly close but always drifting away if there is a seemingly non-existent estrangement. An old man visits a large family on a regular basis, and never refuses the other's small favors. These secrets are like blood vessels, permeating into the texture of this movie, seemingly calm, but gradually revealing the coldness of life.
On the surface, it was Yukazu Ke that kept trying his best to keep away from this coldness. The sisters of "Haijie Diary" light fireworks and eat watermelon, as if they didn't hurt each other. The mother of "Deeper Than the Sea" took out the umbilical cord from the box, as if she was never disappointed in her son. The family of "Non-stop" gathered together in the evening breeze, as if there was no grudge. The children in "Nobody Knows" scooped up coins from the game console, as if they had never experienced death.
The story of "The Thief Family" runs from winter to summer, and the audience also experiences the cold warmth in the lens and the coldness in the sweltering summer. It was freezing cold, but father brought the dirty little girl from outside. The whole family gathers for a shabu-shabu and picks up my sister’s favorite gluten. With steaming heat and smoky smoke, this family is no different from any family in the world of fireworks. In the middle of summer, my brother and sister played around, saying that children who cannot study at home should go to school. This weird sense of superiority is chilling.
"The Thief Family" was inspired by a social news report on the thief family. The news mentioned that they stole fishing rods and fishing was their hobby. This detail attracted the attention of the director. A family who should be hovering below the food and clothing level, not only stole the necessities of life such as rice oil eggs and shampoo, but deliberately stole fishing rods. The presentation of this paragraph in the movie is also very interesting. My father winked, my sister ran to unplug the automatic door switch, and my brother ran away with a fishing rod. In one go, my sister became more sophisticated in stealing. This kind of sophistication makes people laugh, but it feels more cruel.
Later, my father told the police that there was nothing I could teach them except stealing. how could be? The father obviously taught the children how to do magic, taught them the best way to eat instant noodles, and took them to the beach to swim and surf. But all this is not worth mentioning in the face of theft. My sister also learned how to pray most effectively, but the lovely prayer gestures were used before every steal.
You taught me the most delicious way to eat food, but you taught me the most shameful way to get food; I learned to pray the most effective gestures, and also learned to pray for the most despicable wishes.
Cicadas must work very hard to get rid of their shells as they grow up. The same goes for children who make a living by stealing. They always experience the shame after being caught, and they are afraid of escape from being caught. The forearm once left a hideous wound in the native family, bleeding through the scab, and finally a scar that was only superficial on the skin. Who remembers how painful the wound was, who knows the wound left in the heart How deep is it?
The most laborious growth leaves only the shell on the tree, and the most hideous wound leaves only the scar on the skin. And the most touching fireworks can't be seen in the air, and the deepest thanks are floating into the wind and can't be heard. This is the cruelest aspect of Zhi Yuhe's warm brushwork. His lens always keeps a distance from the pain, does not wantonly sensational, does not deliberately sell miserables, the invisible fireworks blooming above the broken bungalow, the unspeakable thank you floating in the wind, the milk teeth thrown on the roof tiles, The ocean hidden in the glass ball is the delicate daily life like spring flowers and autumn moons. But the ravines in the backyard used to bury corpses, the sad mud, the truth revealed in the sister's crayon drawings, and the oranges that fell to the ground without picking them up are the cruelty of life.
I secretly replaced my childhood in the store. You buried the scars in the dirt. The innocent childhood you should have was used to commit crimes, but the truth that should have been revealed was buried. The cruelty of life may be the boy's jump from the bridge in a hurry, it may be the first time he mustered up the courage to say that he does not want to steal, or it may be just a moment of shame under the scorching sun.
As a result, he felt more distressed for Xiangta. He had endured the humiliation brought to him by theft. Whether he was active or passive, he shouldn't be able to bear it at his age. Like the shell on the tree, the scar on the arm cannot be removed, like the growing pain experienced in the days of jointing of the bones, like the ghost of poverty called poverty, which is destined to torture a lifetime.
