I haven't encountered such a memorable movie for a long time - "The Taste of Plum Chicken"
The protagonist is an excellent violinist, but because he does not make money, does not support his family, and does not take care of his children, he is often scolded by his wife. After an argument, his angry wife smashed his violin. After he wanted to die, he lay in bed. Seven days, I recalled my life for seven days, and then he passed away after meeting the god of death. In fact, the character that makes me feel distressed the most is his seemingly domineering wife. "My husband is good in everything, the only downside is that he doesn't love me." I really understand my wife's behavior, and I have fallen into that bad state many times. If I can do it again, his wife must not be Will you choose to marry him?
I think there is a part of the symbolic meaning in the movie - the violinist's violin symbolizes his love for the violin. After the violin was broken, he spent a lot of money to find it, but he felt that the sound was wrong and not good enough, so he took it out again. Broken qin, he cried at the corpse of the qin, and then he decided to commit suicide. How did this broken qin come from? When he was young, his mother sent him away to learn the piano from a teacher. The master said that his skills were very good, but the skills could be learned by a fool, and he was very bad at playing. I think if you go and watch it yourself, you will be able to understand what the Master's comment means at this time.
At the same time, the protagonist met the love of his life, and they got along very happily, but the girl's father didn't look down on him. After the two said goodbye for the last time, he went to the master to play the qin again. The master said at this time that he had played very well. It was excellent, and the movie also details that since then, whenever he played, he felt that the girl was by his side. I think anyone who has learned a little bit of music can understand that when playing a musical instrument, different moods and emotions, playing the same note, the timbre produced is more or less different, and what supports the violinist's playing emotion is that A beautiful relationship, with the girl he loved, and he went home after that
There was a girl in my hometown who had a crush on him since childhood. She was his later wife. When she appeared on stage, she was always in a state of roaring and anger. I began to be puzzled. The situation on the day when the piano was smashed, the wife first hid at the door and cried silently, then wiped away her tears and rushed into the room, complaining, "Why don't you work, why do you play the piano here every day, I have to take care of the children every day, and I have to do things for you. You have to make money to support your family, you rubbish, why can't you just move?" Suddenly, I understood, I understood how much disappointment my wife has gained by staying with him every day, and how many times she has fallen into a state of jealousy. It's not that she doesn't love him. , I really know him too well, I can understand his piano sound, my wife said that only when eating plum chicken will the violinist laugh, and this is the only way for her to please him. The rest of the time he was thinking about other people, playing music by himself, and ignoring the whole family. In fact, the wife complains not only that her husband eats soft rice, or that she doesn't care whether her husband eats soft rice or not, but that the emotional performances do not belong to her. This is a cry of despair, a repressed emotion, and a love with resentment, so it is necessary to divert the focus of the attack. I really feel sorry for this character.
As for why the violinist committed suicide, after all, not everyone can insist on starving themselves to death for seven days. This is a firm belief. I think it must have been the shattered feeling of his dreams that took over everything. His former lover couldn’t recognize him on the road. After so many years of thinking, he was forgotten by others. This kind of emotion collapsed, so no matter how good the piano was, it couldn’t be played. voices of the past. Therefore, the world has nothing to hold on to, so let's resolutely leave.
