Have you seen Jianghu? Where is your arena?
Xu Cen tried to explain in his Vlog "what are we listening to when listening to music", "We are listening to ourselves, we have forgotten some of our experiences, but the concert helps us wake up." Then what are we watching movies? Xu Cen's piano teacher canceled the next day's piano lessons with him after watching "Children of Jianghu" because he saw himself in Brother Bin, played by Liao Fan, and didn't know what to do.
Numerous artists in this world discuss the "war" between men and women in their works, Woody Allen's "Annie Hall", Edward Lam's "War and Peace between Men and Women", born male and female, different genders , the details are also different. "Children of Jianghu" is a woman Qiaoqiao and a man Binge. In the 17 years from 2001 to 2018, she guarded Brother Bin, guarded the rivers and lakes of Brother Bin, and guarded the rivers and lakes where Brother Bin was not there. As for Brother Bin, for his own pocket and face, he was alone in a foreign land and did not want to return home. Which woman's boyfriend is still a woman, let's make it clear when we meet, she won't ask much, and then go on the road.
When your smartphone can tell you how far you are ahead, the last encounter between Qiaoqiao and Brother Bin is standing in the clouds. Female viewers may think, "Who sends brocade books in the cloud, when the geese return, the moon fills the west building". Acacia, is not to worry. Male audiences may think, "When will Feng Tang be dispatched in the cloud of the festival?" It is ambition and pride. Whether it's the director's deliberate arrangement or the viewer's over-interpretation, the movie has such an image that makes you cry.
In an interview, Jia Zhangke said that when he wrote the script of "The Children of Jianghu", he looked at the weaknesses of many men. In the film, there are men who beat women, men who take cheating as the truth, and who want money into sheep's mouths because their wives are out of town. There are men who play with other women, and there are men who talk rhetorically and fail in it. The group portraits of men have been watched over and over by a woman. Liao Fan's brother Bin in the film can resolve the entanglement between the brothers on borrowing money. It can be said that he can buy a suite for Qiaoqiao's father in minutes, and he can let go of the boy who hurt himself. He can be changed by a group of boys overnight. It's quicker to have a gun. This big brother in the rivers and lakes has a trace of kindness that is hammered by the earth in northern China, but in front of foreign things such as national standards and cigars, he looks like a "turtle turtle". And to be humiliated by the bastards who humiliated him back then. The "superstar" has fallen into a passerby. Which big brother in the rivers and lakes has a long-lasting foundation? "Before" is no longer "now", the one who sits on the kang with you can be the cook, and the one who blows your beard and stares at you can be the guy who serves the main dish first. You haven't changed, the rivers and lakes have changed.
Teacher Keating said in Dead Poets Society: "We read and write poems not because they are fun, but because we are part of human beings, and human beings are passionate. Yes, medicine, law, business, Engineering, these are noble pursuits, enough to support people's life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are the meaning of our life." Returning to the question of what we are watching when we watch movies, we find in works of art Empathy with the author, we are moved, we see the shadow cast by the characters on ourselves, we feel filled, we feel hollowed out, we exile ourselves for two hours, we wait for the shadows to leave, and look back at the movie Life to say. "Children of Rivers and Lakes" carries the shadow of "The Good Man in Three Gorges" and the time span of "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers". Qiao Qiao smoked a cigarette in tacit agreement with Brother Bin, and poured wine from all over the world into a pot. Each brother listened to a sentence of deep love and sincerity, and they did not care about drinking more or less, but still care about the red ones they drink? White? mixed? Qiaoqiao hasn't left her own arena for more than ten years, but there is no brother Bin in her later arena. The emotional entanglement of a man and a woman, in which people say: "It's not enough for outsiders."
Men carry their pride, women maintain your pride. Men go far away, women look for you in other places. Men are stuck in wheelchairs, women push you to revisit your old places. You are a migratory bird in other people's rivers and lakes, returning to the wrong nest one by one, and stubbornly leaving the nest in the last season of reincarnation. When will you realize that the women who have seen your scars are the ones you shouldn't let go of. When will you be able to understand their meaning in the rivers and lakes. If you owe and you think they will count your debt, what have you made up for? Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. She is the only one left in the rivers and lakes you are in. Is it still rivers and lakes?
Some people say that Jia Zhangke's "Children of Jianghu" gathers all the weaknesses of straight men, and peels off the raw onion of life. He will not give you joy like a nesting doll. You have to widen your eyes to see the truth.
What is Jianghu?
gone.
