I have to say that Li Cangdong is really courageous. In this impetuous age full of commercial stinks, in this violent and erotic movie market on the screen, he dared to name this more than two-hour movie " "Poetry", he also dared to make a slow-paced literary film featuring an old lady in her sixties.
I like this movie very much. If the perfect score is 5, I will give it 5 points.
Some people say this is a female film, but I think it’s better to say it’s an art film, some say it’s a movie about death, but I think it’s just about how a person who can’t adapt to real life looks like Live like a poem.
But no matter what it is, it is a movie that needs to be slowly appreciated and savored. I am convinced that different people will see different things in this movie.
The death of Yang Meizi is
always a good movie. The beginning of the movie is a female corpse floating on the river. At the end, Yang Meizi’s monologue mentions “it’s time for parting” twice. Then her old voice became the female middle school student, and the combination of the two indicates that Yang Meizi chose to end her life in the same way as the female student. With the appearance of the cast and crew subtitles, the sound of the river rushing. Endlessly resounded throughout the room.
I know that there will be many people who appreciate Miko's cleanliness and purity, but I think the other side of cleanliness and purity is that she really can't adapt to this pale and empty society, and the fundamental reason why she can't adapt to society is that she chooses to stick to herself.
A person who sticks to himself is a lonely person, a lonely person, and a pure person at the same time.
Countless times in the quiet night, I think about Lin Daiyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions". If Lin Daiyu did not live in the Grand View Garden, but came to the materialistic and complex modern society, how would she live and what career she would do? To earn living expenses?
A female friend of mine once said: "If I can't live beautifully and cleanly, I would rather die."
Faced with the contemptuous eyes of the president who had provided humanitarian assistance, I imagined Yang Meizi's feeling as if she was tightly wrapped from head to toe by a densely punctured gauze.
Then the film came to the end. She cut her grandson's toenails and taught him to maintain personal hygiene while cutting. She said: "The body is clean, the soul can be clean." I knew she was going to die. She can accept that her daughter will not come back for a long time, she can accept the superficial relationship with her daughter, and she can accept the indifference and disrespect of her grandson, and even she can accept the task of interceding with the victim’s mother, but she cannot accept herself The act of asking the president for money, because she thought it tarnished her body and soul, because she thought it was a blasphemy of poems to talk about straightforward sexual topics at the poem meeting.
The reincarnation of intergenerational inheritance.
If the Western family therapy view believes that the family has a profound influence on people, it is more appropriate to change this concept to the profound influence of clan on people when it comes to China.
Since ancient times (probably this has to be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties), our culture has always been a clan system. By the Song Dynasty, the influence of the clan system had reached its peak. In other words, for thousands of years, our grandparents are not only influenced by their parents, they are more often influenced by their uncles and aunts, but also by the people in the whole family.
So in our generation, the values, behavior patterns, and living habits that we uphold, including many deep beliefs that we can’t be conscious of, are actually not derived entirely from our parents, but from our five or six generations, even Acquired from the ancestors of the last dozen generations.
The movie did not explain why Yang Meizi did not have a wife, but she explained that her daughter left her son to her mother after the divorce, and went to Busan by herself and never came back. Although the mother and daughter often talk on the phone, the relationship between them is so estranged that when someone asks Yang Meizi: "Since you have a very good relationship and are like friends, why would you refuse to tell her about it?" ", she couldn't answer.
From Yang Meizi’s inability to educate her grandson, we can see how she educates her daughter in the first place.
Yang Meizi herself did not learn how to educate her children, because her mother left her prematurely, and she herself was a person who was isolated from the world, so her daughter could not master this ability, so she Only her daughter can leave her child alone for many years.
Let us look at this pattern:
Yang Meizi had no mother since she was a child. Although Yang Meizi’s daughter had a mother by blood, the mother did not take responsibility, so it is equivalent to not having a mother. The daughter’s child (grandson) had no mother since she was a child...
Suppose this story happened. In real life-then if Yang Meizi's daughter dies and does not realize that she and her children are repeating the mother's life pattern, then this pattern will continue until one day, some of their offspring suddenly understand Come over, choose to change, and this inheritance may be broken.
There is always a wide gap between a clean soul and real life.
Yang Meizi, who grew up with her elder sister, couldn’t let go of the pain caused by lack of maternal support until she was in her sixties. This gave her a part in her heart that was always reluctant to grow up, and it was just that she couldn’t. The growing part makes her life full of vitality, but it is also this part that prevents her from having the power to control her life.
A person who does not have the power to control his own life is bound to experience ups and downs in emotion, and a person who pays too much attention to his inner world is bound to be unfamiliar with the external environment.
An old aunt in her sixties who made a living on part-time jobs couldn't help laughing out of joy because her employer gave some tips. But every day she dresses elegantly and appears in front of us with decent makeup. She will quietly observe the flowers and listen to the sounds of nature. She will jot down meaningful sentences that pop out of her mind. She cares about everything she encounters on the road. A person, she can feel the despair of the peasant woman who lost her daughter in the hospital, she can understand the meaning of every poem spoken by the poetry teacher, and she naturally and enthusiastically expresses her beautiful feelings to the people around her. And it doesn't matter whether people understand it or not.
This makes people admire her innocence and appreciate her true love for life.
She has a clean and pure soul, but this soul cannot find a place in real life.
People who live like poets are indeed a minority in this world, but I know that even if they are a minority, if they are gathered together, there can still be thousands. If 1% of the world’s population is calculated, they should also have six. Ten million.
Most of the time, because Yang Meizi believes that others will believe in love and truth as they do, they value a harmonious environment, and pursue fairness and reasonableness, and they use what they think is "good" to get along with others, but they often get frustrated. Therefore, most of the Yang Meizis are not competent for jobs that are too competitive in business. This makes it seem that under the current national conditions, the current situation of Yang Meizi's life seems to be unsuitable for society. Because the remaining people who account for almost 99% of the entire population are busy working for life, busy gaining fame and fortune and calculating gains and losses, and they observe that most people around them live like this, so they never doubt their own Whether the lifestyle and what you pursue are really what you want. Therefore, people like Yang Meizi who are always perceiving life and experiencing the inner heart make them feel strange, and this strangeness makes them feel uneasy and repulsive, so they will treat Yang Meizi with indifference, ridicule or hurt. However, because of Yang Meizi We are emotionally rich and slender. A look, a sentence, and a body language can be keenly captured and feel a deep tingling pain.
Perhaps one day, with the development of society, our society will also begin to attach importance to humanities education, creating more jobs in the humanities, and at the same time improving the social security system, enriching people’s spiritual world, so that any post can have the opportunity to develop , Any profession can be respected by people. At that time, the spring of Yang Meizi may come.
The solution to Yang Meizi’s integration into life The
movie shows that Yang Meizi wants to teach her grandson who did bad things, but she exhausted almost her entire body and couldn’t pull the quilt off her grandson—in fact, she didn’t. Maybe she can't pull the quilt, and it's her heart that can't pull the quilt.
She allowed her grandson to ignore herself and stood in the corner of the room watching her grandson eat. She hoped that her grandson would regret what she had done, but she just silently put the picture of the victim girl on the dinner table and secretly observed the reaction of her grandson. .
In front of the screen, I deeply felt her powerlessness.
She couldn't shout loudly at the ignorant boy, because when he was young, she never did that. She was not unwilling, but she couldn't let the "jamming" come out of her mouth at all, but she wasn't either. She doesn't know how to "snatch", she just lacks the power to make her "snatch" in her heart. Even, she may think that she can't be unworthy of "reprimanding".
She seldom assumes responsibility for life. It seems that she is being the grandmother of that kid, but in fact, deep down in the boy's heart, she doesn't think she is a respectable elder at all, she is just an indulging in her own heart. This little woman, in her entire life, she just lives in the small world in her heart, living in the way she likes and is used to, regardless of what other people are, and can't take into account the feelings and needs of those close to her.
Her daughter knows, her grandson knows, but she may not know it alone—she is evading life by experiencing the world in such a delicate way, and thus evading her responsibilities.
But in fact, after hearing that her grandson had done such a thing, she could temporarily put down those little affections, temporarily put away those sad and soft emotions, and walked forward to face those challenges, learning and waiting for all kinds of people. Dealing with people, learn to deal with those who are numb, especially learn to adjust your state according to the occasion, instead of facing everyone and everything in the same state, especially understanding that "knowing others does not mean that they are on the same road." The truth.
Of course, when the crisis is over, she can still return to her sad, romantic and soft look when she is alone or with a close partner. Of course, that look is the most beautiful and worthy of respect and appreciation.
She can directly express anger and dissatisfaction at the poem meeting because what she said to her female partner in private was made public without authorization. She can also directly tell the police officer who she thinks has desecrated the poem: "This is indeed what I said, and I This is still the view." Instead of lowering his head shyly and shamelessly, afterwards, he walked into the garden and cried silently.
Within the scope of law and morality, nothing is impossible—this is what Yang Meizi needs to remind themselves most all the time.
Finally, what I want to say to Yang Meizi is: in the torrent of real life, you can either sublimate or destroy, all depends on your own inner choice.
The God of Destiny places you in such an embarrassing era where the old and the new alternate, and you happen to be such a person by nature, so you have no choice but to feel the happiness and tenderness of being a human being, and experience the vitality of life. And meaning, you need to make a choice:
either live half ideal and half reality, learn the abilities that life requires you to master, learn various skills to deal with the surrounding environment, learn to compromise, learn to stretch freely, and accept the status quo of life;
or purely Live according to your inner self, follow your heart, and become the way your inner mirror is always calling you, but you need to have a strong inner strength to take on this decision (or it is better to have a soul mate who will support and accompany you ), otherwise you have to accept that one day you will not be able to move on, and the desire for self-destruction cannot be controlled-although I personally think that destruction is also a kind of beauty, and those who believe that they will make this choice also think so.
