([grimace] [grimace] with the names of the film critics messing up)
To be honest, I always wanted to give four stars until I saw the last party. The best thing about this film is the rewinding narrative structure. Why does the male protagonist choose to participate in the class reunion and seek death at the same time? This problem is the main line, as well as the foreshadowing of branch lines such as mints, lameness, and divorce, all of which are unraveled one by one in the rewind narrative, and some contrasts before and after make this character more three-dimensional. Why do you say the last party can give this movie another star? On the one hand, it was because the last shot was so beautiful—chorus, grass, wildflowers, and a youthful face that was designated by hand; if you put it in Yin Shunren’s perspective, how could you feel that there is a literary, gentle and a little silly boy in front of you. Never think of anything related to evil. On the other hand, there are the lines. This deja-vu description comes from the male protagonist's mouth. It is a stroke of genius, which directly elevates the movie to a higher level, gives the viewers more room for imagination, and adds a little philosophical charm to the movie. For example, I would think, does this imply that this scene accompanies and affects the male protagonist's life? Or maybe, the whole movie is not a rewind narrative at all, but the memory of the male protagonist when he faced the train coming towards him? Has this also been hinted that this scene is the peak moment of the male protagonist's life?
The film selects several cross-sections of the male protagonist Jin Yonghao's life, showing the process of the flower of evil blooming slowly in the heart of this ordinary character. The process relies heavily on the interaction between men and women—what the women around Kim Yong-ho think of him and himself. In the early stage of youth and middle age, Jin Yonghao was quite a person of the opposite sex. In the words of a movie character, he said, "Telling about your first love can attract women." He's not talkative, honest, and a little goofy, all of which seem to be very appealing to women who are always suppressed by men, who naturally associate him with reliability in their hearts. But as everyone knows, these qualities are not good qualities in Jin Yonghao's heart. These are some confinement in his heart, and they are things that he hopes to break through because he is cowardly in nature. This was reflected most vividly when Kim Yong-ho and Yoon Soon-ren met again in the penultimate party. (You can also extract some advice for women here. What you think is good is not necessarily what he thinks is good. The greater the difference in ideas, the greater the contrast in the future.) Jin Yonghao made breakthroughs little by little. Begins to stretch his hands, he decides to become a policeman, he is more and more hungry for power, his ego is getting bigger and bigger; at the same time, the scene of the last party is getting further and further away from him, as if that scene is a piece A heavy stone, the male protagonist tied one end of the rope to this stone, and the other end tied himself to ensure his own safety. Then he began to swim around, but the further he went, the string was pulled thinner and thinner, and he didn't take it personally, despite the constant warnings that the string was running out of steam. In the end, bang, broken, the male protagonist realized that he had become a wandering soul without support, and finally realized that he had made a big mistake, and hoped to return to that stone and tie a new rope again. But it was too late. When he went back, it was already a different person. The same space did not always have that stone at different times.
(This metaphor may not be well written, too abstract, but it's really hard to express the kind of feeling you want to express QAQ)
When writing about a character and his environment in such a specific way, in the end, the culprit must be blamed on the surrounding environment-why does such a kind person end up like that? What is watering the evil flower in the male protagonist's heart and gradually blooming? I dare not criticize the hg culture directly, because I don't know much about it, but I think that there is a kind of filth that can be called feudalism in the hg culture, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of countless hg people. I can't say what caused that, but I know that the dirt is always there and binds them so hard to break free.
This film was made at the end of the last century. I don’t know what the reality is now. Will Jin Yonghao, who was born in the last 20 years, still grow into Jin Yonghao at the beginning of the film?
