1. Death follows a shadow;
a female corpse on the river. Yang Meizi is physically old and sick. Yang Meizi worked as an hourly worker for a dying man.
2. Male characters
First of all, the lack of the main male characters in the protagonist's family: When Yang Meizi stated her life experience, she only talked about the death of her mother and the life of her sister, and her father was not mentioned. Yang Meizi's daughter is also divorced from her husband, and her husband never appears in the film. Xiaoxu is the only male character in the family, and he appears as a lost lamb (sexually assaulting a young girl), but what he does has to be paid by an old woman. Some other male characters: Xiaoxu's friends, exist as the girl's offenders. The father of Xiaoxu's friend (it's interesting that except for Xiaoxu, the family of the aggressor is the father who came out to solve the dispute, and the family of the victimized mainly has action from her mother), this group of sanctimonious guys, they The solution to the problem is always inseparable from money, stinginess and sophistication. The old man who hired Yang Meizi was disrespectful to the old man. He even took XX medicine and planned to have a relationship with Yang Meizi. Even the police is a purveyor of foul language. Although the generation of sexual desire is natural, it seems a bit inappropriate if it is not restrained and regardless of the occasion. The vast majority of male characters are negative.
To sum up, this is a film that uses female characters to examine the weaknesses of men and accuse men of oppression and violation of women's rights.
3. The existence of estrangement;
psychology: the divorce of Xiaoxu's parents. The estrangement between parents and Xiaoxu. The communication between Yang Meizi and Xiaoxu is poor in language. Physiological: The girl's corpse (separated from her mother forever)
4. The incompleteness of the family (in fact, it can be compared with the estrangement)
The brokenness of Yang Meizi's family includes several aspects:
① Yang Meizi's nuclear family: the death of her mother, Live with your sister.
②The nuclear family of Yang Meizi's daughter: divorced from her husband and separated from her son.
③ The fragility of the root-style family connection between Yang Meizi and Yang Meizi's daughter: only by the invisible mobile phone signal, we did not see Yang Meizi and her daughter meet from beginning to end. As my mother said, my daughter and I have a very good relationship and are always good friends. It sounds very sad to me. A mother who is connected by cord blood should be intimate and is the character who is most closely connected with her children. As a mother, Yang Meizi said that we are friends and friends forever. Because the family relationship between mother and daughter shown in the previous movie is almost zero, so here should be Yang Meizi's subjective poeticization of the relationship between mother and daughter. This kind of poeticization also casts a layer of sadness on the film. The mother and daughter who are connected by blood are regarded as friends, which is to subconsciously put their family on hold.
④The collapse of the third-generation nuclear family: Xiaoxu was taken away by the police.
5. Two threads run through
. The first is Yang Meizi's inspiration for finding poetry. The
second is Yang Meizi's atonement for his grandson. There is a sense of naturalness, and the expression is expressive, restrained and delicate but majestic.
6. Satisfy Laura Mulvey's "Three Male Peeping Modes"
First, the identification-style peeping mode, the audience recognizes the same as the male protagonist on the screen, and uses it as their own screen substitute, so that the two This kind of power is concentrated, the power of controlling the situation and the power of the pornographic viewing initiative, thus providing the audience with a complete, idealized self-image that can be recognized by the audience. Through this identification and participation in his power, the audience can also indirectly possess female stars.
Second, the voyeuristic mode is essentially the peeping of men on women.
Third, the viewing mode of fetish, the beauty of the woman as the subject merges with the screen space; she is no longer a criminal bearer, but a flawless product, her body disintegrated and stylized by close-up It is the content of the film and is the direct recipient of the audience's viewing.
For example: The old man's naked body ML is both a satisfaction for the identification-style voyeur mode and a satisfaction for the voyeuristic mode. Yang Mizi's well-dressed, pursuit of beauty and poetry in life is also the satisfaction of the fetish viewing mode. . In addition, in the poetry class in the film, everyone's narration to themselves makes the audience become a tree hole. Secrets can be confided to us. To a certain extent, it is also the satisfaction of audience voyeurism. Wanting to see through is a desire in itself.
7. Yang Meizi's whereabouts
Yang Meizi also jumped down. When Yang Meizi first went to the river, her hat was blown off by the wind. She was startled at first, and then watched with relief as it floated into the river. She walked to the river and bathed in heavy rain with a heavy face. Since then, she has decided to commit suicide. Then everything she does has a taste of doing funerals, taking the initiative to have a relationship with the old employer, visiting the mother of the deceased, raising money to help her grandson Xiaoxu, calling Xiaoxu's mother back, letting Xiaoxu take a bath and cut his nails and Toenails, flowers and poems for the poetry teacher. After everything was in order, Yang Meizi left at ease. The loss of her daughter after the phone call, Yang Meizi's poems and the suicide girl's poems, and the mood of Yang Meizi and the suicide girl's departure are completely consistent. This implies that Yang Meizi eventually took the same path as the suicide girl—death.
Yang Meizi is dead, she will never think under the tree again, never stare at the flowers in a daze... When Yang Meizi was looking at the tree before, the old lady who asked and puzzled, took her place at this time, Sitting under the tree, like Yang Meizi at that time, with an old childlike innocence, lost in thought, unable to extricate herself for a long time, this is a comforting scene.
Attachment:
Yang Meizi's poem: How is that place so lonely? It's still sunset at night. Can you hear the singing of the birds on the trees? Can you receive the letter that couldn't be affixed with a stamp? Is there a word that can be conveyed without a confession? Time has passed? Has the rose withered? Now is the time to say goodbye. Like a still wind, like a painter, like a painter, a date that has never been met has always been a secret love.
Poems of Suicide Girls: My miserable ankles The grass leaves that float into my mouth have been following my little footprints It's time to part Now can there be light again when the darkness comes I will pray that no one will cry anymore I am So sincere love. I hope you know that on a summer day I have to wait endlessly for the ancient alley that looks like my father's face and sit shyly and lonely wild chrysanthemums are all I love so much in your weak voice my heart beats so much Bless you before you reach the other side of the river, my soul is breathing desperately, and I start to dream. On a clear sunny morning, I can see you next to me with my swollen eyes that have just woken up
