I have only watched the movie once, so I can only speak of the overall feeling. If I have the opportunity, I would like to improve the details and write a movie review after the second review.
First of all, after reading the first time, a few details that I have considered myself
1. Brother Er Yong was killed by Guo Bin. Brother Er Yong, as a real estate businessman who has successfully transformed, made Guo Bin envious. When Er Yong took out a stack of foreign exchange coupons and patted it in front of Guo Bin, Guo Bin couldn't bear it anymore. Times have changed, Guo Bin has changed from a big brother to a collector. Qian's younger brother... You must know that in the arena, righteousness is far more important than money. If you have read Wang Shuo's novels, you should know that money is a trivial matter for the hooligans in Beijing's Hutongs, and rules and loyalty are the bottom line principles. So Guo Bin found out that if he wanted to continue to be a big brother, he had to make money, and making money was better than fighting. Therefore, after Brother Er Yong died, the brothers clamored for an investigation. Guo Bin decided that it was the gangsters who did it, and did not want to investigate further.
2. Qiao Qiao also had affection for Guo Bin in the end. This, I inferred from the background music. After Guo Bin left, there was a loud noise of "Bang, Bang, Bang" in the background music. The music is so strong that the moviegoers feel uncomfortable. However, when I went out to the theater, I told my friend that he didn't hear it... I think this noise is a symbol of Qiao Qiao's mental collapse. It appeared once, when Qiaoqiao was in prison, I can't remember it anymore, this music marked the desperate situation in life, despair, helplessness, and collapse of confidence that the strong Qiaoqiao encountered. She thought that Binbin could swallow this breath and live with her well. But no, he couldn't swallow this breath, he could only be a strong man, he could not show weakness. He even left a stack of money and slapped the table straight at the table. The arrogant Binbin didn't want to owe anyone, even if the person was Qiaoqiao.
What I want to say:
About soft and strong
Qiaoqiao is a person who can be flexible and rigid. I call such a person tenacious. When Binbin was the eldest brother, she was a submissive sister-in-law. Binbin smoked casually, and she also took a sip. Probably from the first smoke ring in Qiaoqiao's eyes, I liked this woman. She is sensible, but she has an idea in her bones. She is the sister-in-law, and she is herself.
Later, countless details made people feel that this woman was too cool. Dancing with Binbin, the gun fell to the ground, she was angry at the time, but she didn't have a seizure, her frowning brows stagnated for a few seconds, and then she danced happily again. Her father drank more than half a bottle of Fen wine, and was energetic at the radio station. She pulled out the power plug in a hurry. The next second, instead of scolding her old father, she gently touched the old father's shoulder and said, "Dad, go home." Bar. I guess maybe she's seen too much suffering, it's hard for everyone, be gentle with them.
Of course, the peak moment of Qiaoqiao's life set by the director is probably when the two shots are fired outside the crown car, or when "it's mine" is repeated in the public security bureau. However, I think this particularly large epic scene is actually a bit cliché, because it can be guessed, even the lines can be guessed.
The plot that moved me was actually not the attitude in the face of right and wrong. but little things. Because in the face of right and wrong, people may be inspired by a sense of sublime. Just like the average person's boyfriend is about to be beaten to death outside the car, his girlfriend will also come forward.
The plot that moved me is that she must see Binbin. It is conceivable that a woman who has just been released from prison knows from the mouth of Xiaosan that her man is living with the woman in front of her. Ordinary women are probably crying and stalking, making everyone unable to live in peace. She was in pain, but she endured the pain and said to the woman in front of her, I want to listen to Binbin, I have nothing to do with you. How powerful is this woman, she does not lose at all in front of a third party. She trusts her man, even though she feels that her man may not be the same as he used to be. But she still wanted to see her man with her own eyes. After seeing Binbin, she lowered her stance and kept her repeatedly. She said she could follow him wherever he went. When I was young, I actually despised this kind of woman who was dumped and refused to let go. I even set a rule for myself that if a man changes his mind and cheats, he must walk away without looking back. Only now did I feel that I was really young at that time, I only knew how to be strong, but I didn't know how to bow my head. It is only now that I understand that it is easy to be strong, but difficult to bow your head. Binbin later said what was in his heart, and he couldn't take a sigh of relief. Because he has always been a big brother, how can a big brother be an ordinary person? He didn't pick up Qiaoqiao out of prison because he wanted to save face, and because he wanted to develop, he got together with Jiayan. Qiao Qiao said, "From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." "If you can't say anything, I'll say it for you." But she was so pitiful, she could only listen to a love song sung by a stranger to find comfort. Yes, her brother Bin has changed. It's not the chivalrous brother Bin anymore. What can she do? There are many things in life that can't be changed no matter what. Move forward.
The second plot is the scene between Qiaoqiao and Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng told her the truth when the train was approaching, and she said lightly, "it's okay". She still harbored the previous pain in her heart, but she opened her heart again and gave her sincerity. A woman who has suffered is different from a woman who has not suffered. People who have seen suffering and see a little bit of hope will try to embrace them, and they are also full of compassion for the deceit and betrayal of others. In the devastated life, they will strive to move forward a little bit. But such a sincere and tenacious woman encounters conservative, cowardly and withdrawn men. In fact, in real life, there are not many people who are full of personality charm like Qiaoqiao. Most of them are Brother Bin and Xu Zheng. So Qiaoqiao didn't complain. She quietly packed her things and got out of the car. She took two steps and turned back sharply, her eyes full of expectations, but life slapped her again. On that night, she walked alone on the star-lit Gobi Desert. Maybe when she looked at the vast starry sky and the vast earth, she had hope again.
What others have said I agree with:
About the background of the times:
"The significance of "Children of the Rivers and Lakes" is not only in the fact that Zhao Tao's performance ability finally broke out, and it is not only in the historical Lego that is interspersed with 6 different video media, but also in the huge room for interpretation left by it. For example , Through the juxtaposition of Binge's gang and Qiaoqiao's father, the narrative of "the history of the decline and fall of the community" provided in the film has been meaningfully stretched, because the Datong gang in the film is actually in the same mainland as me when I was young. Like the gangs in small towns of heavy industry, they are some kind of deformed derivatives of the large-scale factory and mine worker community during the disintegration of the planned economy. The support of the gang's emotional structure is not only Guan Erye and Hong Kong films, but also the collective spiritual heritage of industrial workers.
This special type of gang based on the worker community was a phenomenal existence in China from 1980 to 2000. It was completely different from the classic gangs based on refugees and ethnic groups in film history. It needed to work in the planned economy. Before the memory of the industrial community of the era completely evaporated, it was turned into a living prisoner in the universe of meaning by a video writer at the level of a section chief. "
----- Excerpted from Hu Xudong's film review
In fact, I am very curious, how do people who grow up in such a small place get such values of deep love and righteousness, know how to advance and retreat, and understand the sense of proportion. In fact, I have never encountered such a perfect personality in my life. I think this is a romantic idealistic personality. Sometimes she is so down-to-earth, and sometimes she feels like a person hanging in the sky, out of reach. Perhaps it is because of this romance that it makes people feel a little distorted and a little deficient.
