After three days of precipitation, I finally told my friend the story orally today. The two-hour movie was condensed into 10 minutes by me in a few words (although some friends are expected to make a decision and say that this is condensed.) 23 seconds, 32 year. These four numbers and two Chinese characters are estimated to be called condensed.



Indeed, this is the joys and sorrows of a Chinese family, which has nothing to do with the background. Just like "Titanic", a film reviewer said that this extraordinary ship finally sank to the bottom of the sea in order to fulfill this extraordinary romance. In "Tangshan Earthquake", Feng Dao was living in order to fulfill the joys and sorrows of the three generations of the family, so that the two places of Tangshan and Wenchuan were shaken.



If so, then put aside the background and look at the protagonist's 32-year story.



Social Change:


The blank space in Fang Deng's experience and the filling in Fonda's experience reflect the influence of two completely different families in the same era, or more precisely, the factor of class. Military families vs. laid-off workers-self-employed families, in the great wave of 32 years of social change, they are actually two completely different lives. I have to say that more viewers will actually feel that Fang Deng's adoption is the opportunity for her future development or the most important turning point in her life; in contrast, Fangda's development depends more on herself. struggle. It's a pity that Feng Dao took a little bit over this place that could be compared, and played down the reality and heaviness of Jia Zhangke's two-wheeled vehicle pedaling a double-door refrigerator, but the latter is exactly 60% of the population of China's real society. 's portrait.



Love and family affection:


This is the same as the placement of advertisements. It is Director Feng's forte, and the degree of sensationalism in the film is comparable to the gratifying degree of the advertisements in it, and the frequency is equal. No exception, superzhuzhu of Cancer is also one of the people who cry and laugh while holding a napkin. The touching part mainly focuses on family affection (the part of "Which man can use his life to be good to me" is also classified into the family level because the two have been married for many years, making the big strong corner smile and rest his eyes), and can be close couples, mother-child, mother-daughter, father-daughter, grandmother The flexible use of various combinations within three generations such as Sun Tzu has established the film's attractiveness in various possible audience combinations.



After talking about the 32 years of the protagonist, look back at the 23 seconds of the background.



Production effect:


Objectively speaking, the sound effects of the film are well-deserved to be the first film in the mainland that can be listed on iMAX. Generally speaking, "Thai" also used the gimmicks of big production to become a standout in commercial blockbusters. This point in China after N years still allows everyone to see the rising stars from "Tang", which is quite gratifying.



Tangshan·Wenchuan·Memorial:


The opportunity to reunite sisters and brothers from Tangshan to Wenchuan through earthquake disaster relief is entirely out of the need for plot setting, which is very weak. The same scene is replaced by Haiti, Sanlu, and SARS. It is estimated that any event can be picked up in any year, as long as the screenwriter is willing. Therefore, the monument to 240,000 people at the end of the film suddenly seems nondescript. Let's take this as an insert advertisement, reminding us to guard against some bean curd projects.
