In addition to the magical methods used by Jia Zhangke to turn the popular songs into the streets (such as Xinyu in Xiaowu, Ren Xiaoyao in Ren Xiaoyao), Lin Qiang's electronic music also set off the atmosphere very well. In the sad background music, the film starts with the faces of various expressions on the ferry. Jia still narrates unhurriedly, or is a long-term gaze at the bad environment around the characters. Starting from the world, Jia likes to play with some aura of editing and the effect of space-time separation, such as the connection of two stories. The flying saucers, such as the bridge suddenly lit at night, such as Zhao Tao turning around on the balcony in the dark, the huge unnamed thing behind took off, such as the tightrope walker standing by Han Sanming at the end of the film. These things make the original plain and plain story pump out sparks.
Jia looked at the demolition of the Three Gorges from this objective point of view. There were also very helpless subjectives in the objective, such as the corruption of the demolition and the sale of state-owned assets. Through the mouths of ordinary people, everyone in the world knows well. The truth, but it can’t be changed. It can only be a helpless joke, but life still has to go on, just like the wife whose husband was injured in a job went to work in Guangdong for the last time. She calmly said to Han Sanming that she always had to make a decision. , Can't stay here and both of them wait to die. In fact, I think this film is sharp enough, but maybe what the people really need now is not enlightenment but road. The government has been so shameless and fearless. For ordinary people, life still has to go on.
So Zhao Tao left his husband, and Han Sanming retrieved his wife, although he had to go back to the black coal mine to work to earn 3W to redeem his wife, and whether he could survive the 3W process is still a question. . But at least he has to do this. For the Chinese, nothing is more important than living together in a family reunion, but our reality is so cruel.
Actually, when Han Sanming was waiting for Mr. Ma in the small restaurant, the camera was moved to the next table. Several Sichuan opera actors with faces and props were playing PSP intently. They were laughing to death. . Jia is really an observer of life. I like watching movies like this.
