By the way, it was the first time I saw Jia Zhangke in a movie theater, hhh

I knew that Sunday would definitely be spoiled from head to toe [I found out that it was the first time I saw Jia Zhangke in a movie theater [[Before I went, I was still complaining to Ning Ning that the children of Jianghu are not me... I explained to my mother why If you don't clean up the room, you say that the children of the rivers and lakes, and you are off topic 2333322

There are obvious overlaps between some pictures and the name emm in "Ren Xiaoyao" and "The Good Man in Three Gorges", and other elements from Jia Zhangke's films are also vague [but I'm a passerby fan and I haven't watched all his films, so I don't pay much attention to it 【【

Because there is a sense of almost relying on music and some unique forms and elements to advance the story. . So it seems that compared to the previous film, it seems to be a bit lacking in the feeling of being so real that it makes people feel uncomfortable [[It's just a personal feeling. . . However, I actually prefer images with a strong sense of form. . . I can't say I don't like this slight change of him [so I'm not a fan of the section chief hahaha

However, the presentation of the earthy rivers and lakes in the rough rural setting full of local cheesy is really too real. Hhh I lived in the country as a child and I have seen this kind of scene too many times [although I am in Zhejiang. . .

The so-called purest volcanic ash and the echoes of "you are in the rivers and lakes, I am not in the rivers and lakes" and the like [【Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. I don't know how many times it's been used. The so-called people in the rivers and lakes are just the truth of the most ordinary living beings. . . . . To be honest, my dad used to say that there was nothing special about it, hhh

I think it is necessary to precisely define the rivers and lakes in the category of the love of the rivers and lakes. Only then can Qiaoqiao enter the rivers and lakes through hardships for love from outside the rivers and lakes, and Brother Bin is for the brother he understands who is always on stage. The rivers and lakes with sincerity and sincerity have abandoned love and righteousness because of their masculine inflated and fragile self-esteem and escaped the real spiritual meaning of the rivers and lakes.

Although there are a lot of stagnant still scene shots to accumulate emotions [saying that the young couples around me are chatting and playing on mobile phones and disgusting that the movie is too long 233], the processing of the soundtrack is still so abundant that it overflows a bit. emotional stacking

In addition to the well-known and widely used pop music of the late 1990s to continue to defend the position of the head of the Chinese DJ king [My favorite is the dong dong dong after the scene where Qiao Qiao shoots to save her lover. The trembling drum beat (appeared three times in the whole film, when Zhao Tao tricked the motorcycle and escaped and finally in the surveillance video after Brother Bin left), this sound is actually a sound for the soundtrack that basically follows the principle of realism. It can be said that it is a surreal existence like a flying saucer. It cannot explain the source. It is like a drumbeat, like thunder, like a heavy heartbeat. To a certain extent, it will remind people of the last scene of "Big Buddha Plath". The deafening thumping sound came from the inside of the Buddha in the scripture hall.

The role of this very big heroine is very lovable. When a person loses money and is abandoned by his lover and has nowhere to go, he is still full of the straight waist and loyalty of the children of the rivers and lakes. He is smart enough to use it skillfully. The cliché of the rivers and lakes is an opportunity for the desperate self to win money and meet the man who is hiding from him. The deep love can also cry in the vulgar love songs because of the man's weakness, betrayal and escape, and the righteousness can be accepted again. The paralyzed man who abandoned his lover in order to support his vulnerable self-esteem, from her point of view, the whole film is the whole process of her truly growing into a full-fledged child of the rivers and lakes.

And the details of walking straight, using a solemn posture when toasting, opening and closing the rivers and lakes but taking a self-protective posture and hugging the backpack tightly on the chest are very moving to me.

There are also many scenes in which the farce-like pictures make people feel solemn and desolate because of the extreme absurd and comic element settings and the godly and pious attitude: including worshipping Guan Gong statues, including funerals. The national standard dance and the performance of "How Much Love Can Come Again" with no aesthetics at all, Brother Bin expressed his thanks to Qiaoqiao at the hotel but shook the wrong hand, which made people laugh at the first sight. However, in the next second, his emotions took a sharp turn and he felt sore and even tragic.

And about the volcanic ash, it probably corresponds to the lines of the two people. It is a prophecy. After continuous burning, Qiaoqiao cooled and froze into pure volcanic ash, and Brother Bin became the cannon fodder for the tragedy he predicted hhh

There are still some things that don't make sense. For example, I don't quite understand why the clever Qiaoqiao who has shown enough to walk the rivers and lakes will suddenly follow the commissary owner played by Xu Zheng who can be seen to be almost hilarious. It seems that it is almost better than the very local cyberpunk flying saucer that later copied the Three Gorges Good People [Is it even more magical realism? Another example. . . It's not so reasonable for Brother Bin to suddenly collapse after coming out of the bureau... Who hasn't been in prison for a few years in the underworld or something? The betrayal and separation so quickly can only be explained by the fact that the popularity was not good when I was a big brother before... ...

It’s really heavy to watch this kind of film often [After watching it, I’ve been sad in silence for a long time, but I don’t want to cry too much [I think Jia Zhangke will always wear out such a little warm smile in the slow progress of the film] 【

Overall, it's still a good movie, although it's not perfect. . And it's really more suitable for audiences who have expectations for Jia Zhangke's movies. Anyway, when I go out, I can still hear boys complaining about why their girlfriends choose such boring movies. Low, obviously that long mirror in the hotel, she was crying too [[

    Variations on the theme of "Departed from Mountains and Rivers". In Jia Zhangke's films, Zhao Tao is an android, and the other characters are electronic sheep. At weddings, funerals, marriages, migrations, symbols wear necklaces, and they capture the incongruity between the wonders and the world. Form is above everything else. Technically smooth, because he's smart enough, but can't frankly show his cowardice, which is a stumbling block that prevents him from becoming a master.

    To tell you the truth, I watched it as a comedy, and the tomb of the tomb was made out, but the section chief is okay. The look and feel is ten worse than the good people of the Three Gorges. The beginning and the end are okay, and the middle part is timid. I feel that the structure of constantly adding and highlighting the heroine is a little bit unable to support the heavy feeling brought by the title. A large number of close-ups enlarge the public space, but in the end, it compresses the inner world of the characters. Taotao is that piece of ashes, but this is a ruthless and unrighteous river and lake after all. "Jianghu" and "children", perhaps these have always been two parallel propositions that are difficult to take into account. Of course, there is no reproach to focus on it, but it is recommended that the title be changed to "Jianghu's daughter".
