01 The
siren sounds a long time, and there is a noisy sound. A long shot sweeps the crowd on the immigration ship, and the smoke is full of smoke. Some are chatting, some are playing poker, some are looking at mobile phones and texting, some are looking at palmistry, and some are squeezing. The background music is the Sichuan opera "Lin Chong Night Run": "(Press Longquan’s blood and tears to sprinkle the robe,) Sigh that the hero is alone, throwing himself into the water, looking back at the sky, the resentment is hard to dissipate, and the anger is raging! But the moonlight is seen! Shine, listen to the cold wind! I still have to rush and run. I had to go to stay, and some people who were afraid would look at me, (Hong Chen missed my young Wuling!)..." The camera finally fixed on Han Sanming, and he took it. With simple luggage and 16 years of anticipation, he came to Fengjie from Shanxi to find his ex-wife.
Mouse interpretation:
In the tenth chapter of "Water Margin" "Lin Jiaotou Fengxue Mountain Temple, Lu Yuhou Burning Forage Field", after Lin Chong anger killed Lu Qian and others and escaped, the author chanted: "The law of heaven cannot be falsely accused , Don’t make good plans for evil.... The most pitiful place to escape from death is really the husband of Kuiqiwei." Please watch the official and listen carefully. In the film, the song "Lin Chong Night Run" echoes from the beginning to the end. This is how Jia Zhangke set the tone for Han Sanming's image. For hundreds of years, Lin Chong has long become a "great husband" in the hearts of the people. Although Sanming is a humble citizen, he still deserves to be a man of affection in his treatment of his wife and his friends. At the same time, Sanming's loneliness and panic when he broke into a foreign land, Fengjie, contrasted with Lin Chong's "loneliness" in front of Liangshan.
Of course, for the people on this immigration ship, they are like the tens of thousands of immigrants in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. They will demolish their houses, roll up their simple luggage, and leave their homes with a single order from the government. Isn't it also a "great husband" who selflessly dedicated to the "country" and the "nation"?
In addition, poker players yelled "I've gotten", and crowds of onlookers cheering and shouting "Xiongqi" are all typical Bashu styles.
02
Sanming was forcibly pulled into a room by Xiao Ma and others. One person played a magic trick of turning white paper into euros and then renminbi. The audience was forcibly charged for tuition, Sanming refused to pay, and was forcibly searched for packages. Sanming took out a switchblade. (The background music when the camera scans the tourists is very good, but the mouse does not know the name)
Mouse interpretation:
a magician dresses up and lives like a storytelling Li Boqing. He said: People who float on the water must rely on dollar bills. Money becomes the only reliance for the drifters to survive. After a few tricks of a ghostly dance, it became a "knowledge copyright", and the poor farmer brother was required to pay the "tuition". All the people in China who can rely on power or violence squeeze the hard-earned money of ordinary people like magic, grabbing them if they don't give it; fortunately, the "poor ghost" Sanming brought a switchblade to get out. Xiao Ma showed up for the first time, and the audience knew that he was similar to the street gangsters we saw.
03
Mo's boy sent Sanming to "No. 5 Qingshi Street, Fengjie County, Sichuan Province" at the price of five yuan. Mo's Tsai pointed to the bag of evergreen grass in the river and said that it was No. 5 Qingshi Street. Sanming asked where Mayaomei moved, and Mo's boy said, "We are all girls here called Yaomei." Sanming blamed Qiming for defrauding him of 5 yuan when he knew he was flooded. Mo Tsai said that I did not let it flood, but the Three Gorges Project; and pointed to a boat and said that it was his original home underneath. Sanming agreed to let him go to the demolition office to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr. Ma's family.
Mouse interpretation:
Sanming earned 5 yuan from the coal mine at the risk of his life, but in a foreign land, even if he was cheated, he could only say a word of complaint. There is a calm and cruel river in front of him, and the homes of the young man and thousands of people in the reservoir area will be buried by it forever. Sanming can't seem to get angry. Some netizens sighed for this: the fate of an individual accidentally transformed into a fate shared by the collective.
In the Sichuanese discourse system, "Yaomei" is a nickname for young women, but when we see the vicissitudes face of Ma Yaomei at the back of the film, we obviously feel the irony of Jia Zhangke's naming ("Ma Boss") The same is true), and the pity for the protagonist.
04
Sanming came to the demolition office. Several immigrants are questioning the implementation of the resettlement subsidy policy led by the demolition office. Sanming told the staff of the Demolition Office that he had not contacted Mayaomei in 16 years, and the staff told him that Fengjie had already been placed under the municipality of Chongqing as early as 1997. The query was unsuccessful due to computer crash.
Mouse interpretation:
16 years, how many 16 years will we have in our lifetime! How many vicissitudes have been carved on the faces of Sanming and Mayao in the 16 years? This originally happy family can only watch and look forward to each other.
The leader of the demolition office said when confronted by the immigrants, of course there was a problem. In a city that was more than two thousand years old, it was demolished in two years. Sang Tian turned into a sea in two or two years. Is this a myth or a surreal? Jia Zhangke used the Three Gorges Great Transformation as a specimen of China in a surreal state. The vast world-class Three Gorges Project has submerged not only a two-thousand-year-old city, but also the homes of countless people from the Three Gorges. Where is Rimu Township, where is the fragrant grass luxuriant parrot Chau. Mr. Ma's home was turned into a bag of weeds floating.
The great migration of immigrants has become a spectacle in China in the past decade. According to reports, 1.4 million people in 20 districts, cities, and counties involving Chongqing and Hubei will lose their ancestors' homes forever. In the eyes of the humble and silent majority, how many corrupt elements have been added in the past ten years? There are too many voices questioning this issue, and the Three Gorges Project, which uses the popular support project as an excuse, will become a project that loses popular support.
05
(The "Phase III water level: 156.3M" appears for the first time) Mo's boy takes Sanming to Tangrenge Inn. Boss He said that the accommodation cost three yuan a night, and the boy was too expensive, so he said he wanted one and five, and the boy said one and two, so he entered the house with Sanming's luggage. After entering the house, Sanming called the second elder brother to tell his mother that he was safe.
Mouse interpretation:
There is a Tangren Pavilion inn here, and a Western Han tomb appears behind it. The tomb of the Han Dynasty at Tangshi Inn has changed in an instant in a thousand years. The signboard of the Han and Tang Dynasties still shines in the 21st century; later Boss He also took the signboard to the new home of Gongqiaodongzi.
Mo’s boy helped Sanming to bargain, and he also asked Boss He for an intermediary fee, which does not mean that Mo’s boy turned his elbow out; Boss He dropped from Sanyuan to NT$2, and said, "Look at the name of the boy (face)." , Nor can it be said that Boss He is bullying and fearing hardship. This is the sophistication of the Bashu people.
06
(The subtitle card of "Smoke" appears) When Sanming poured boiling water, Xiao Ma watched the scene of "Little Ma" played by Chow Yun-fat in "The True Colors of Heroes" lighting a cigarette with banknotes. He walked over to warn Sanming to be careful on his site, and Boss He was amused by his words and deeds. Sanming handed a cigarette to Boss He and asked about the whereabouts of Brother Ma. Brother Xiao Ma wants Sanming's cigarettes and learns from Zhou Yunfa, wear sunglasses and use waste paper to light cigarettes. Boss He told Sanming Ma boss to stay temporarily on the hoarding boat at Pier 6.
Mouse interpretation:
"I am in charge of my site." This is the slogan of China Mobile's dynamic zone. "Site" has always been a special term for people in the world to define their authority. Xiao Ma, who admired the knights of the arena, also parroted the foreigner Sanming and exercised his "privilege". Xiao Ma is a fan of Chow Yun-fat, and learns his style and posture in every move. "Asia Weekly" once pointed out that Jia Zhangke "in a set of movies with ordinary people and losers as the protagonists" and "referring to Hong Kong-produced heroic film "The True Colors" again and again" is a kind of "guts." ".
In the author's opinion, from "Xiao Wu", "Station", "World" to "The Good Man in Three Gorges", Jia Zhangke showed extremely complicated emotions about the Hong Kong and Taiwan culture that was popular in the 1980s in Mainland China, whether it is movies or television, Still popular songs, they have introduced plots many times, and even used them as narrative elements many times.
Xiao Ma, who was roughly born in the late 1980s, is undoubtedly an outdated character. "The True Colors of a Hero" was filmed in 1986, before he was born. However, Jia Zhangke, who experienced the turbulent 1980s, tried to use Ma Ge to convey his feelings, especially the love promoted in Hong Kong and Taiwan heroic films is what we currently lack the most. The friendship between Xiao Ma Ge and Sanming carried this task. Of course, no one questioned the problem of Xiao Ma's too young age, because Jia Zhangke used Xiao Ma's "nostalgic" parody to make the story logical.
Boss He always said "I don't understand" when he speaks Shanxi dialect in Sanming. He really doesn't understand, and I don't understand without subtitles. He has lived in Fengjie for most of his life, and he is naturally very strange to the outside world. However, after many people like him have moved to other places, they have to learn to interact with Liaoning people and learn to listen to Cantonese. This is a kind of difficult to overcome. Obstacles to life! As a netizen pointed out, immigration means losing the root of language.
07
Sanming passes through the ruins of the old city. Someone was holding a cat, some were demolishing a building while shouting, some were watching him passing by blankly, and a dog ran by in panic.
Mouse interpretation:
The shouting of the people who demolished the building and the scene of the building collapsed later Sanming chose to demolish the building while waiting for Mai Yao.
For those who have lost their homes, they are panicked under the burden of survival like a dog in the Sang family. The person holding the kitten, like a cat, is helpless in the ruins, but feels so strange to the homeland where he has lived for many years. Jia Zhangke said: “The city of more than two thousand years was torn down in an instant. In such a rapid transformation, all the pressures, responsibilities, and all the lives that have to be supported for a long time are borne by them (immigrants).” Therefore, Any possible hysteria may explode in their hearts.
08
Sanming came to the hoarding boat, Ma boss was cooking noodles. When Sanming told him that he was from Shanxi, he turned his head and looked at him for a long time, but his face was expressionless. He coldly asked Sanming to sit upstairs. A boatman upstairs called and threatened others to single out and burn the ship. Two shirtless boatmen, Mr. Ma and the boatman with blood and gauze went upstairs and sat side by side on the bunk in the corner of the cabin to eat noodles. Boss Ma talked to Sanming indifferently while eating. He told Sanming Yaomei to run the boat in Yichang. Sanming said that he wanted to see the children, but Boss Ma said that he didn't know that the children would go and persuade Sanming not to make trouble. Sanming's stubbornness annoyed the gauze-tied boatman kicked him a few times and threatened to throw him into the river to feed the fish. Fortunately, he was pulled away by another boatman. Sanming and Boss Ma had a dispute over the ownership of their children. Boss Ma said that if he wanted to see Yaomei, he would wait indefinitely. Before leaving, Sanming wanted to give his wife and brother two bottles of Shanxi Fenjiu, but Ma boss refused. (The subtitle card of "Wine" appears)
Mouse interpretation:
Boss Ma's indifference and exhortation reveal a faint resentment. 16 years ago, his sister was sold to Sanming by a trafficker. The child was rescued by the police shortly after the full moon, but her sister's marriage was gone. After that, he pledged his sister to the owner of the boat in the form of a loan of 30,000 yuan, and asked her to run the boat with him. In the face of survival, the brother-sister relationship was wiped out like the hatred of the year, leaving only a little bit of pitiful dignity. Therefore, he refused to recognize the identity of Sanming's wife and brother, and refused to accept Sanming's gift.
Whether it is a boatman who makes a call or a boatman who wears gauze, their hearts are full of violent tendencies against the weak, and they may break out and hurt the innocent at any time, because they have to endure more powerful violence and violence all the time. Violence in life.
09
Sanming listened to the migrant workers who demolished buildings in the inn about their wages and other conditions. The workers introduced to others that Sanming was a friend from Shanxi. The worker asked him if he came by boat or by car. Sanming said by boat. The worker asked him if he saw Kuimen, so he took out a 2005 edition of the fifth set of RMB 10 banknotes and pointed out that the back was Kuimen; Sanming said that I His hometown is also in RMB. He took out a 1999 edition of the fourth set of RMB 50 notes. The workers pointed to the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall and praised the beauty of Sanming's hometown. Facing the Yangtze River, Sanming took 10 yuan in his hand and silently looked at Kuimen in the distance.
Mouse interpretation:
The scenery on the back of the fifth set of RMB 50 notes in the 2005 edition has been replaced by the Potala Palace. This is not a question of the scenic spots of various provinces and cities taking turns sitting on the RMB, but the majestic Yellow River Hukou that once overwhelmed the river. The waterfall is no longer beautiful, and our mother river has become a sad river. Whether the Three Gorges Project will turn the Father's River into the second Yellow River can only be seen by time. However, as the water level of the Three Gorges Dam continues to rise, Kuimen will no longer be the original Kuimen. At the moment when migrant workers inadvertently use RMB to identify their hometown, Jia Zhangke expressed his nostalgia for the fading beautiful hometown vividly. Then Sanming turned the renminbi from the front of Mao Zedong's portrait and currency figures back to the back. Some netizens said: The traditional hometown represented by natural scenery has finally given way to naked money and politics. It’s a good point, but it’s the reality, and the meaning of the lens is not stated. The lens is not what the netizen said is the back and then the front, but the front and then the back. It shows that in the hearts of Sanming and Jia Zhangke, money and politics can’t hide them. Hometown in your heart.
When Sanming was talking with his coworkers, the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was being played on the TV of the coworkers' dormitory (which section of the mouse could not be seen). Among them, Liu Guanzhang's recurring scenes undoubtedly hinted at the brotherly friendship between Sanming and the coworkers—— At the end of the film, they will follow Sanming to Shanxi Coal Mine to face the temporary death.
10
Sanming followed his coworkers to demolish the building. Sanming saw several people wearing anti-virus suits disinfecting among the ruins. On the walls of the buildings they passed by were hung the words "work hard", pictures of Jay Chou, and certificates of merit from students.
Mouse interpretation:
Sanming began to wait without a deadline. Compared with black coal kilns, the wages are much less, but the safety is much better. But this change is nothing compared to the anxiety of waiting for his daughter and former wife.
Whose residence is the building where the disinfectant passed by? The lens tells us that they used to know how to encourage themselves, they worshipped youth idols, and they have achieved excellent results, but all historical witnesses will be overwhelmed.
11
Many people play mahjong in abandoned buildings. A young man sang "Mouse Loves Rice": "If one day, the ideal of love will come true, I will redouble my efforts to never change you..." Sanming who was eating met a middle-aged woman who was playing mahjong.
Mouse interpretation:
According to Jia Zhangke, this little boy who has just turned 14 in real life likes to sing pop songs. He can’t learn the songs of Teresa Teng appointed by Jia Zhangke. All pin their nostalgia). According to Jia, the proactive life attitude of the small actor who initially wanted to do business with Jia Zhangke and others determined the fate of the protagonist in the movie. Therefore Jia Zhangke said he was an angel. When he sang "No matter how far the pipeline is, it will be realized" in the room, he must make Sanming "worried." Later, she sang "Two Butterflies" in front of Shen Hong again, which made the woman whose marriage broke up suddenly felt that the water flowed even more.
12
The middle-aged woman brought Sanming into her room. His man was smoking a cigarette. A fitness rally was hung on the wall of the room. The man said that his sister would take him to see Director Liu every two days. When Sanming came in, the man went out, and the middle-aged woman closed the door immediately. She told Sanming that her man had been cut off while working outside. Sanming took out a photo of Mayaomei. The middle-aged woman knew Yaomei but couldn't figure out her whereabouts, nor did she know the whereabouts of Sanming's daughter. The middle-aged woman said that their daughters were classmates, and pointed to the Nokia poster on the wall, saying that her daughter had graduated from elementary school when she was 16 and went to work at Nokia. After that, the middle-aged woman took out her daughter's primary school graduation photo and identified Sanming's daughter.
Mouse interpretation:
I have watched this scene ten times and I am a little confused, because I always feel that the relationship between Sanming and middle-aged women is a bit famous. Why did her man go out when Sanming came in? Why did she close the door afterwards? Why did Sanming say "give me later" when she paid for her purse? Zhang Sansi, who had watched the director's version, told me that the middle-aged woman was a pimp. After that woman entered the house, she asked Sanming if she could find a "young woman". Later, a few women came out of the building behind and asked Sanming to choose. In the director's version, it is unclear whether Sanming has prostitutes. Perhaps Jia Zhangke is afraid that Chinese audiences will question Sanming's "hero" image, so he moved the scissors. Although Sanming, who has not had a woman in 16 years, also has sexual hunger and thirst for satisfaction.
Jia Zhangke's expansion of the film space is really true. Two men and women from Shanxi, two RMB scenery, the oil tanker about to go to Chongming Island, Fengjie reservoir area immigrated to Liaoning, Guangdong, Yaomei ran to Yichang, Ding Yaling from Xiamen, Sanming's daughter worked in Dongguan, Shen Hongjiang When I went to Shanghai, Sanming was originally in Shanxi coal mines, and finally led his workers back to Shanxi to dig coal... There was no deliberateness, which made people admire.
13
When Sanming was walking among the ruins, Xiao Ma, who was tied up in the rocks, asked him for help. They drank and ate in a restaurant. After exchanging names, Xiao Ma told him that he was trapped because he was involuntarily in the rivers and lakes. Xiao Ma said that it often rains in Fengjie, and Sanming said that Shanxi does not rain for a long time and does not rely on the dealer to dig coal. Sanming told her to come to his wife and children, and took out the address written on the back of the fashionable mango cigarette case 16 years ago. Xiao Ma said that Sanming was nostalgic, and learned from Zhou Yunfa's nostalgia. Sanming asked him to help himself, and he readily agreed to let Sanming leave the number. Brother Xiao Ma dialed the 13593423290 mentioned by Sanming, and Sanming's mobile phone ringtone rang the melody of "A Good Man Lives Safe". Brother Xiao Ma asked Sanming to call his cell phone. His cell phone's bell was "The Waves Rushing Waves" from the episode of "Shanghai Beach". Then the original sound of the song was played, and the camera was shot on the hotel TV, advancing the TV is showing the scene of immigration. , And then pulled out of the tanker traveling on the river. (The second time "Phase III water level: 156.3M") Sanming, wearing shorts, looked at the river and saw UFOs flying through the sky. Sanming's story is suspended.
Mouse interpretation:
The fate of Brother Xiao Ma and his relationship with Sanming have taken a turning point here, and the brotherhood between the two has gradually deepened, and wine has acted as a catalyst.
People in the arena involuntarily. Xiao Ma explained his trapping in such an understatement. Sanming listened and sighed: Jianghu. The two characters are like a thousand catties, directly conveying Jia Zhangke's definition and writing of the current situation of the Three Gorges and China, the film and the living conditions of everyone in reality. The Wushan Mountain in the Three Gorges is surrounded by rivers and lakes, and the old city of Fengjie is about to be submerged into rivers and lakes. Jia Zhangke said that the Three Gorges is a river and lake with people coming and going and wandering piers. Jia Zhangke also said that everyone has his own arena.
Above the rivers and lakes, everyone is floating duckweed. As the magician said, people float on the water. The Fengjie immigrants who lost their homes are destined to drift forever, the Chinese descendants who lost the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are drifting, and the Chinese who have lost their traditional morality and cultural foundation and are struggling with material desires are drifting. How much can we grasp? Without relying, I had to revel and entertain to death. As Jia Zhangke said, the characters in his previous movies were "suffocated to death." The characters in this movie died of carnival.
In the arena, everyone has to obey the rules of the arena. The current Chinese arena, the brotherhood of Liu Guanzhang, and the loyalty of Liangshan of the Water Margin have long since disappeared, and even the indiscriminate love between the black and white of the rivers and lakes promoted by Hong Kong in the 1980s is very scarce. In the 1980s, people would be dismissive of Xiao Ma's love words and deeds; but today, he has become a passionate man in Jia Zhangke's eyes. What a kind of sadness and helplessness!
"Did you know? The current society is not suitable for us, because we are too nostalgic." Xiao Ma's parody will inevitably become a handle for many people to devalue Xiao Ma. As everyone knows, Jia Zhangke said, I like Zhou Yunfa's words very much. Nostalgia is Jia Zhangke's painful feelings facing the "changing" China. Xiao Ma has become his rare spiritual sustenance for the younger generation in real life. The little boy can only sing "Mouse Loves Rice" and "Two Butterflies", I don't know Liu Wenzheng, let alone Teresa Teng. If I'm not wrong, Jia Zhangke wants him to learn to sing "Wine and Coffee" in "Platform", or "On the Water", or "Small Town Story", but the little boy doesn't understand Jia Zhangke.
Fortunately, Han Sanming understood him. Sanming took out the mango cigarette pack paper with the address of his ex-wife and said, "How can I forget my own affairs!" He could not forget that mango was a good cigarette 16 years ago, "A Good Man Lives Safe", his short-lived marriage 16 years ago, and the pain of losing his wife and daughter when the police rescued Mayao's sister!
Xiao Ma's ridicule of "good people" conveys Jia Zhangke's heartache about the current gold-worshiping society: In this age of worshiping "gold", who cares about good people? In addition, Xiao Ma's fascination with the episode of "Shanghai Beach" is not to highlight the image stacking of his fans, but Jia Zhangke's heartbreaking over the submergence of the ancient city of Fengjie into the rivers and lakes again: Never stop / exhausted the world's affairs / mixed up a trend / is happy or sad / can not distinguish between laughter and sorrow / success and failure / can not see whether there is in the wave..."

Shen Hong's story begins. Standing next to the bankrupt machinery factory, Shen Hong looked at the river and saw UFOs flying by in the sky. Then a group of rusty and dilapidated factory shots appeared, and a group of people were unbelievably smashing huge old machinery.
Mouse interpretation:
The UFO flew over Shen Hong's head from Sanming's head. Almost all the audience thought it was a surreal technique. Jia Zhangke explained in this way: One evening when he was shooting the documentary "East", he was walking alone by the riverside, the sky was getting darker, the heavy rain fell, Wushan Yunyu squeezed him down, he suddenly felt extremely lonely, and a Strange thought: "I hope that the flying saucer can pass through the air at this time." In a foreign country, I always feel that someone is watching my loneliness, and the long stalks stand and hang each other. The flying saucer embodies the feeling of loneliness and helplessness of strangers.
You stand upstairs and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs. This is a tacit understanding between strangers.
15
In the bankrupt state-owned machinery factory, the middle-aged woman’s husband, Lao Wang and his sister, were arguing with the director of Liu, asking the director to be responsible for his disability. Shen Hong went in and looked at the crowd in amazement with anger, and filled the drinking fountain with an empty mineral water bottle. After the crowd dispersed, Director Liu shouted that the workers should take care of state property. Shen Hong asked the director Liu if he knew her husband. The director said Guo Bin's name and said that he did not know him, and asked Chairman Liu in the factory to receive Shen Hong. Chairman Liu led Shen Hong to deal with the belongings left by Guo Bin from leaving the factory, and told her that Guo Bin was doing well and met Lao Wang's brother and sister on the way. Shen Hong opened Guo Bin's concierge and found a packet of Wushan Yunwu Tea. (The subtitle card of "Tea" appears)
Mouse interpretation:
This is the first intersection between the characters in the story of Sanming and the story of Shen Hong.
According to Zhang Sansi, in the director's board, Shen Hong saw the portrait of Marx and Maus on the wall in the factory. Such shots were common before the 1990s. When placed in a state-owned factory, it seemed to imply that Director Liu was the head of the first factory, like a parent. So Lao Wang’s sister questioned him: "Look, you are a factory director. If you don’t solve the difficulties, what are you doing well?” But the factory director Liu, who kept saying that he wanted to protect state property, was indifferent to his employees and sold a state-owned factory with assets worth hundreds of millions to a woman in Xiamen (Ding Yaling?) The employee Pharaoh had no plan to survive and went to Yunyang Machinery Factory to work as a crippled hand. He neither denied selling the factory nor was he responsible for Pharaoh, forcing Pharaoh’s wife to work in Guangdong later. In China, there are too many things like this, so let's not talk about it!
Lao Wang’s sister may be a little intellectual who has been studying for several years. She bluffed in front of Director Liu and used the law to frighten Director Liu. Who knows that Director Liu has become commonplace and is not afraid of even the threat of force. law! When they left the factory director's office, the brothers and sisters could only stand on the side of the road, silently angry.
Chairman Liu couldn't open Guo Bin's room, and Shen Hong solved it with a single hammer (just as straightforward as the black skin in "Crazy Stone"), showing Shen Hong's bold personality and paving the way for her decisively ending her marriage.
14
Chunyu, a 16-year-old girl, stood helplessly beside a broken house. Shen Hong drank water in the small riverside restaurant, then opened the package of Wushan Yunwu tea and poured the tea into a glass. When Shen Hong passed by, Chunyu stopped her and hoped that Shen Hong could find her a nanny job. Shen Hong was noncommittal, and left after talking about the haze weather in the Three Gorges.
Mouse interpretation:
He is 16 years old again, Xiao Ma is 16 or 17 years old (street gangsters), Sanming's daughter is 16 years old (working in Dongguan), middle-aged woman/Lao Wang's daughter is 16 years old (working in Nokia), this is called Chun Yu's girl is 16 years old again (want to go out to work). Most of the film was shot in 2005, and 16 years ago was 1989. After the passionate 1980s withered, China was on a more confused and misguided path. The fate of the 16-year-old generation is tied up with words such as "graduated from elementary school/out of school", "part-time job", "escort", and "prostitution". The choices of Chunyu and Sanming's daughters for their future corresponded with the "Sanming" in "Platform" telling their sister Wenying to work hard to study for college and not to return to her hometown. This dismantled the hope of the future development of China's remote urban and rural areas.
15
Shen Hong was standing on the ship loaded with exhaust machinery, the little boy walked by singing "Two Butterflies" and sat down. Shen Hong walked through the streets of Fengjie New City, where "Two Butterflies" were being played in the shopping malls on the streets.
Mouse interpretation:
The little boy in Sanming's story also walked into Shen Hong's story.
Today, we treat the popular songs like "Two Butterflies" like Zhang Yimou’s blockbuster movies. Although everyone is verbal and writing, when you walk on the street, almost all the shops are making the same sound. I couldn't help but hum, even in the K room, I couldn't help but karaoke. Almost everyone despised Zhang Yimou, but many of them were contributing to the box office of "Zhang Blockbuster".
Popular songs praise love as always, chanting about broken love, maybe they are in line with people's psychological desire and lack of reality! "My dear, come and dance. The spring of love will never be dark." Shen Hong did a dance with her husband later, but their love had already died in the cold winter two years ago.
Jia Zhangke said that Sanming was traveling in Fengjie’s old city, and Shen Hong was walking in Fengjie’s new city. Fengjie’s new city echoes the old city. The old city has not been demolished, and the new city has begun to look a little bit old. Guo Bin's old love is not over yet, Xinhuan has matured; Sanming and Mayao are disconnected, but they have to be controlled by the boat owner. What a kind of sentimental and helplessness.
16
Shen Hong called to inquire about the telephone number of the cultural management office where Guo Bin’s comrade-in-arms Wang Dongming worked. Later, she came to the place where Wang Dongming was excavating the ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty. Guo Bin couldn't get through the phone. She hoped that Dongming would take him to find Guo Bin. Dongming agreed.
Mouse interpretation:
Shen Hong is a woman with strong self-esteem. Seeing her husband’s comrades-in-arms, she did not say that she could not contact Guo Bin at all. Instead, she said "I didn't tell him". Calling?" Shen Hong was absolutely extinct: "You can call him one!"
17
Dongming took Shen Hong to the immigration demolition headquarters. A group of people were rubbing mahjong. Someone informed the "boss" Guo Bin and the county leaders. After going out to do errands, they sat beside and waited. After drinking, Shen Hong went to the drinking fountain to fill it. A young man with a bloody wound on his head came in from the outside holding his head and told the mahjong player that he had been attacked. Everyone immediately took up the equipment and wanted revenge. Shen Hong said that he was a nurse, bandaging the wounds of young people, and inquiring about the relationship between Guo Bin and Ding Yaling.
Mouse interpretation:
Guo Bin's first whereabouts reflected the social ills of collusion between officials and businessmen. At the same time, Guo Bin, who is in charge of the demolition headquarters, has a lot of miscellaneous thugs, and is really a "bandit merchant". The group of thugs were mostly young men. When their accomplices were attacked, they took knives, sticks, sticks, and shovels and set off shouting vows of revenge. Excitement, passion, and joy were written on their faces, as if It's like going to a Christmas party, like a violent carnival dance.
After Shen Hong discovered that Chairman Liu had deliberately concealed her husband's whereabouts in front of her, she ingeniously used the role of a nurse to pre-emptively set out the ambiguous relationship between her husband and Ding Yaling from the mouth of the injured young man. Guessing a fait accompli, Shen Hong faced it calmly, and the waves in her heart were revealed by the sparks of the electric switch nearby.
18
Dongming and Shen Hong came to the Entrepreneurs Association to find Guo Bin, but they didn't meet them. The lady at the service desk said that Mr. Guo might be drunk and rest in the meeting room on the 16th floor, and Shen Hong asked Dong Ming to watch it alone. She used an automatic dryer to blow her hands, and then found that there were photos of Ms. Ding Yaling, chairman of Hehe Group (with deeds) on the wall, and pictures of the demolition of the county education committee building on January 24, 2002.
Mouse interpretation:
Shen Hong knows that it is inevitable to see embarrassing scenes in those so-called boss lounges, and she chooses to avoid everything that might damage her dignity.
Someone revealed that Ding Yaling's photo is the real poet Zhai Yongming. Mouse searched for this charming photo on Baidu. Critics generally believe that Zhai is the most outstanding female poet in contemporary China. When she debuted, she shocked the literary world with her unique language style and shocking female standpoint, and was praised by Ouyang Jianghe as "the most beautiful woman in the East". Jia Zhangke used "Zhai Yongming" to "impersonate" the third party of Shen Hong and his wife. Is he questioning feminism or paying tribute to the women who actively choose their lives in the film? Rats tend to the latter.
According to reports, in January 2002, in order to clear the old city in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, the "First Three Gorges Explosion" locked four buildings in Yong'an Town Government Building, Xiping Thermal Power Plant, County Education Commission Building, and County Water Supply Company Building. The first explosion of the Yong'an Town government building was on January 20, but Jia Zhangke only chose the county education committee building. Isn't it his "ulterior motives"? For the ancient city of Fengjie, the first thing that was submerged by the monstrous flood was the brilliant culture of 2000; didn't the educational problems reflected by the dropout of Chunyu students shake the foundation of Fengjie's development?
19
Shen Hong and Wang Dongming drove to the Dongming dormitory, and they got off at the unfinished building of the immigration monument next to the dormitory. A group of children cheered towards the monument. There are dozens of people playing mahjong next to the dormitory. Dongming was cooking in the kitchen, and Shen Hong went to the drinking fountain to fill the water after drinking. Dongming asked her to have a good time in Fengjie, and she explained that she would go to Xiaosanxia on the next day. Shen Hong saw all kinds of clocks and clocks hanging on the rope next to the wall.
Mouse interpretation:
Gathering crowds to play Mahjong is a natural sub-human landscape in Chongqing, Sichuan, and the unfinished building of the Immigration Monument is the shameful landscape of relevant officials. How did those ignorant children know that this immigrant monument designed as "Hua" was built in 2000, and it was suspended when it was repaired halfway because of lack of money. Like all unfinished buildings in big cities, it is a pillar of shame for the local government (will The people’s hard-earned money piles up into countless rubbish). In addition, the Three Gorges Immigrant Monument is a desecration and insult to 1.4 million immigrants. Jia Zhangke said: "When I first arrived in Fengjie, I looked at the immigrant monument by the river. I felt that it was not in harmony with everything around it, so I wanted it to fly away. Therefore, in the movie, I made it look like an alien. The spacecraft flew away like that." So, the monument in the film lifted off like a Shenzhou VI. The angry Jia Zhangke let the anger of the people across the country be instantly released.
Wang Hongwei, who plays Wang Dongming, is Jia Zhangke's queen actor. In "Xiao Wu" and "Platform", he is the protagonist and performed very well, this time he made a sacrifice. According to Jia Zhangke at the Beijing Film Academy screening, Wang Dongming, who originally planned to be a cultural relics manager, was the third clue (the other was Ding Yaling), because most of the plot was cut because of the narrative needs. He kept collecting clocks and watches during the excavation of cultural relics, and set all the time at 13:40 (you can’t read the DVD), because at 13:40 on January 20, 2002, the office building of Yongan Township, Fengjie It was the first to detonate and kicked off the prelude to the demolition of the old city of Fengjie. In Wang Dongming (Jia Zhangke)'s heart, at that moment, the city of Fengjie died.
20
Shen Hong hoped that Dongming would tell her who Guo Bin is with now. He said Guo Bin would be busy with his leaders and clients, saying that they hadn't seen each other for a year. She blamed him for covering Guo Bin, which he denied. When she went to get the cell phone, he dialed Guo Bin again, but it was still turned off. She asked him to count the last phone number Guo Bin left for her. He found that there were only seven, and said that Fengjie had already risen to eight. She said that Guo Bin had never talked to her about feelings for two years, so she could only sit at home and wait for his call, and occasionally called to know that she was still alive, so she was relieved. While speaking, tears were already flashing in his eyes.
Mouse interpretation:
Shen Hong's tears do not affect her dignity. Her marriage, which has been waiting lonely for two years, has come to an end. She hopes that she will understand. She hoped that Dong Ming could tell the truth for friends, but men like to play a game of shielding each other.
21
On the dance floor next to the Rainbow Bridge in the Three Gorges, people danced to the melody of "Damp Heart". Shen Hong and Dongming are here waiting for Guo Bin's appearance. She said that Guo Bin never danced before and now dances at the scene. Guo Bin first denies and then agrees. Shen Hong called to leave, Dong Ming said wait a minute, he might have tripped him up, Shen Hong asked if it was Ding Yaling's business? Dong Ming was noncommittal. At this time, the boss of Rainbow Bridge brought VIP guests and let people turn on the lights. Later, Shen Hong and Dong Ming drove back to Dong Ming's residence.
The mouse interpreted:
"What got my eyes wet and can't see the back of you far away..." "Damp Heart" was also a very popular love song in the 1980s and 1990s. Sanming said that it always rains in Fengjie, Chunyu told Shen Hong that it is often gloomy weather here, the Three Gorges is wet weather, and people are in a damp mood, which is the portrayal of Shen Hong's heart.
The marriage that is about to break up is like humid and sultry weather that makes Shen Hong restless, so she has to keep drinking water, wiping sweat, and constantly figuring out how to face reality and maintain her self-esteem. Ding Yaling is just a symbol of desire and temptation (money and body), but Guo Bin's betrayal is presented to Shen Hong by countless people consciously or unconsciously shielding and sheltering Guo Bin. To be deceived is to be treated as a fool, "You insult my personality and my IQ", no one can face it calmly.
The country’s investment of 240 million and the hard work of countless migrant workers day and night has become the "masterpiece" of the Rainbow Bridge boss; the transformation of the sky into a thoroughfare has achieved the dream of a romantic poet (Mao Zedong), and also the dream of a group of bandits to get rich. .
22
Shen Hong dozed off at Dongming's house. When she woke up feeling sultry, she turned on the fan on the wall, and pulled her coat against the fan to let the wind cool herself. In the morning, Shen Hong hung a piece of underwear on the balcony. After turning around, the immigrant monument behind him was lifted into the sky like Shenzhou VI.
Mouse interpretation:
a sleepless night, a life-long decision; open your mind to make yourself more refreshed, the anxious night will soon pass, why bother yourself as a human being. Shen Hong hanging out her underwear means that she has decided to face her heart calmly. The director’s sentiment contained in the lift-off of the immigrant monument has already been mentioned. And the ascent of a huge building undoubtedly coincided with the protagonist's inner decision: she made a decision, and she made a decision on a matter that was pressing in her heart. Jia Zhangke explained.
23
At the entrance of a narrow corridor, Wang Dongming finally found Guo Bin, and the couple met. Shen Hong did not respond to her husband's explanation and questioning, and left without saying "I'm leaving". Guo Bin drove to chase him. The two went to the riverside one after the other. Passing under an unfinished bridge, the people on the bridge danced to the episode of the movie "When the mountains are full of red leaves". Beside the rocks, the two also danced to the beat. Shen Hong stopped and told Guo Bin that she had fallen in love with others and decided to divorce him. Then the two walked away in the opposite direction without turning their heads.
Mouse interpretation:
We broke up when we met. It was a big decision. One day the husband and wife are gracious, and the decision made in advance will inevitably be softened. But Shen Hong's hesitation had already taken off. Abandonment damages dignity, and the best way to maintain dignity is to abandon the other party verbally first. Just as Ouyang Feng of "Evil and West Poison" said: I know that the best way to not be rejected is to reject others first. Therefore, Shen Hong said to her husband: I like others. It is really not important to Guo Bin who it was and when it happened. What is important is that Shen Hong used a lie to restore her self-esteem and at the same time hurt the self-esteem of her husband who abandoned her. In the movie "When the Mountains Are Full of Red Leaves", a poignant love story saves another love story that is on the verge of rupture, but here, even if "Brother is the long river in the river, and the younger sister is the river in the river", since then, they have been in each other. Forget about the world.
24
Shen Hong left Fengjie for Shanghai on the Senlv passenger ship. The tour guide is introducing the Three Gorges Project and the Three Gorges Project. The main body of the screen is occupied by a TV in the cabin. Photos of Sun Yat-sen, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Three Gorges closure appear on the TV. Shen Hong drank the mineral water and watched the river sadly while listening to the broadcast. The tour guide explained: Today, this place has become the focus of the world because of the world-renowned Three Gorges Project. The construction of the Three Gorges Project has been the ideal of several generations of national leaders in our country, and the people in the reservoir area have also made great sacrifices for this. The water level here will rise to 156.3 meters on May 1, 2006. You see these small houses on both sides of the strait, and they will all be submerged by then..." Shen Hong’s story ends.
Mouse interpretation: The
apes on both sides of the strait can’t stop crying. The light boat has passed Wanzhong Mountain. This is the style of the Baidi City waters in the Li Bai era, which provides warm comfort to the exiled poets. Today's Three Gorges makes us feel cold despair and sentimental. 156.3 meters, Jia Zhangke told the third time Our cruel data (four times in the whole film). Today, most of the space that exists in "The Good Man in Three Gorges" has been buried by the river. Where are the people who once lived in the small houses on both sides of the bank?
25
(The subtitle of "Sugar" is presented in the center)
Han Sanming is standing on the edge of the cloud-filled river, watching the rushing river and the advancing passenger ship. In an old greenhouse, a street art troupe is performing for the migrant workers, the bald fat man hoarsely exhausted He sang "Drinking Dry Wine and Selling Nothing" and drove the happy migrant workers to revel together, and Sanming was among them.
Mouse interpretation:
This is a scene that makes people laugh and cry. When I watched "Hitch the Wrong Ride", Su Rui interpreted the melody of "Dried Alcohol and Sells Nothing" to tears. Later, I still felt very sad when I heard the cover of Dick Cowboy. "There is no heaven, there is no land, there is home, there is no home, there is you, there is no you, then there is me/If you never nurture me and give me a warm life/What will my destiny be if you never protect me", Jia Zhangke will The fate of the humble people lies between the heaven and the earth. The earth is not fertile land, but the rushing river. The homes have been lost, and people will be reduced to drifting duckweed. What will our fate be?
Jia Zhangke, and only Jia Zhangke, grasped the prevailing living conditions of the lower classes in China so deadly. The whole of China (the film critic Sha Jiangming said that China is "demolition") is doing great construction. The old homes have been demolished. The high-rise buildings built are commercial centers and housing slaves. Where can we find a place to stay? ? The traditional family system and village society have collapsed. The traditional foundations of big cities have long been submerged by the flood of modernization. Rural areas, urban-rural intersections, and small and medium-sized counties are experiencing a new round of "rural encirclement of cities". The "enclosure movement" has brought countless families Losing the land and housing on which to live, the temptation of the city has also gathered like a magnet into a huge group of migrant workers. It can be said that commercialized China is bloodbathing the foundation of traditional "homeland". As the German Sinologist Gu Bin said, capitalism is only half of life for Europeans, but it has become all of life for Chinese.
Fortunately, he has Jia Zhangke's unique experience and accurate grasp, and he can convey his nostalgia and worries through his works. Almost everyone in his works is wandering like a ghost. In "Xiao Wu", Xiao Wu accompanies the prostitutes to press down the road every day, dangling around the small town built and demolished; in "Platform", a group of people are sitting in a coach and sing about life while walking. The home where the parental relationship is broken is only an occasional inn; in "Ren Xiaoyao", Zhao Qiaoqiao is forced to leave home to perform, the unemployed teenagers Xiaoji and Binbin enjoy riding motorcycles all day; in "World" The group of wage earners who broke into Beijing, they are insecure about love and life, they are not sure... Therefore, Jia Zhangke said that he is not shooting the so-called small people or small groups. Human feelings".
In addition, Jia Zhangke has a clear explanation for the problem of "tobacco, alcohol, tea, sugar": they are things that maintain people's sense of happiness and operate interpersonal networks in the planned economy era. The nostalgic Jia Zhangke uses this way to convey what he understands is the happiness in the hearts of rural people.
26
Sanming continued to wait for Ma Yaomei by demolishing buildings. While taking a bath, he and Xiao Ma discovered that someone had written "demolition" on the wall of Boss He's house. Boss He angrily asked that he should say hello to not deceive people too much when performing official duties. Boss He walked past melancholy beside the buildings where the word "demolition" was written everywhere.
Mouse interpretation:
Write a word "demolition" and then draw a circle. This "no greeting" execution of official duties hides the violent behavior of the authorities behind it. Boss He, who has lived in his 60s or 70s, should be used to not being surprised, but he is still angry at this kind of "violence". He is eager to use violence to stop violence: "Don't you think I am getting old, in Fengjie County. After mixing for decades, there are still bad friends." "Bad friends" are small gangsters like Brother Xiao Ma, or underworld forces. Facing the oppression of the power organization, Xiaomin can only resort to the morals of the world. Of course, Boss He was only a momentary anger. Later, the Tangren Pavilion Inn, where he depended for his life, was demolished. He found a hole under the bridge where vehicles traveled to settle in his "new home" and spend his old age in peace.
27
Sanming was about to demolish the building where the middle-aged woman (Lao Wang's wife) lived. She told her that she had a cold. Sanming asked her whereabouts, and she said that she was planning to go to Guangdong and the couple could not wait to die here. Someone is helping Boss He remove the signboard of Tangrenge Inn.
Mouse interpretation:
Lao Wang's wife said, always make a decision! She said this sentence quite naturally, but it was actually Jia Zhangke's intention. He said: "I originally wanted to write a story about searching, but after I wrote it, I found that it was actually a story about choices." The choice is the decision. During the search process, Shen Hong decided to break up with her husband. Later, Sanming decided to remarry with his original wife, and decided to go to the coal mine to earn money to redeem his wife; the middle-aged woman decided to go south to Guangdong in the face of the crisis of survival. Let me ask, where is the old Wang who has his place torn down? Is there any boss who is as "lucky" to occupy a bridge hole?
28
Sanming was about to go to work, and ran into Brother Xiao Ma on the way. He gave Sanming White Rabbit candy to eat and told him they were going to Yunyang to settle one person, and the boss gave each person 50 yuan. Sanming told him to be careful and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. Xiao Ma readily agreed and made a gesture like a big brother. When Xiao Ma told his comrades that he would not treat you badly.
Mouse interpretation:
Brother Bin, the director's intention is to make the audience equate him with Guo Bin. This bandit merchant who raises the thugs is buying the lives of a group of young people at a cheap price. 50 yuan, not only the taste of white rabbit toffee in Xiao Ma's mouth, but also the excitement of 50 yuan income. Whether it's Brother Xiao Ma. The young people in the car can't see that they are going to kill their lives, one by one, it is a violent carnival party.
29
Sanming went to find Boss Ma. Boss Ma told him that he had gone to Yichang on his behalf, but Yaomei couldn't come back specially, so he waited for her on board Fengjie. In the evening, Sanming ordered good wine and food and waited for Brother Xiao Ma, but no one answered the phone after a long time. Sitting next to the dinner table are the people of Liu Guan and Zhang's outfit in Sichuan opera. "Guan Yu" and "Zhang Fei" play electronic (mobile phone?) games on their own, while "Liu Bei" looks at the food on the table dumbly. The next day, between work, the workers watched the heavy rain outside the house. Sanming took out his mobile phone to call Xiao Ma's phone, and when he heard Xiao Ma's cell phone ringing, he called his workers to pick up the bricks at the place where the ringtone was developed. (The third time "Phase III water level: 156.3M" appears) Sanming silently guards the lonely corpse of Xiao Ma, and lights three cigarettes for him in front of the photo frame recording Xiao Ma's signature actions. Sanming asked the workers to lift the body onto the boat and take it away.
Mouse interpretation:
Boss Ma's attitude became very friendly, and he also accepted Sanming to light his cigarette. Rural people have such a broad mind to accommodate grievances and grievances.
Liu Guanzhang's style is a footnote to Xiao Ma's heart. In the age of video games, Taoyuan’s justice is so far away that on the surface, the brothers can no longer drink and talk, stop drinking and throwing chopsticks and eating, and jade pan delicacies are also in vain. Is "Liu Bei" remembering the brotherhood two thousand years ago, or is it waiting for the moral resurrection of Xiao Ma?
Xiao Ma gave his life for 50 yuan, which is the greatest price and sorrow of ordinary people. Xiao Ma has long lost his identity and name, and his social morality is eclipsed in the face of money. Where are his parents? Where is Sanming going to send him? The bright cover covers his abruptly stopped youthful life, and there is only a kind-hearted outsider who silently waits for his soul.
30
Sanming went to deliver the rent to Boss He who lives in Qiaodong. He told Sanming to wait for him to leave before moving the remaining things in the old house.
Mouse interpretation: The
damp and gloomy bridge hole will accompany Boss He for the rest of his life, and the kind old man will put the signboard of Tangrenge Inn in his "new home". He shook the fan, his heart felt like water, his anger had long since turned into a passion for life. Sanming turned around and found that Fengjie New City was behind the bridge cave, and under the bridge cave was already crowded with refugees who had lost their homes. This is a sad Chinese reality!
31
On the way to work, Sanming saw many people preparing to go out to work, and middle-aged women were among them. She told Sanming that he had no way to go to Guangdong now. Sanming received a call from Boss Ma when he was demolishing the building and learned that Yaomei had returned, so he immediately went to see her in the rain. On the way, he ran into some people who were seeing off to work in Guangzhou.
Mouse interpretation:
Middle-aged woman asks: Going to work? Sanming replied: Go to demolish the building of the Construction Bank. Don’t you find Sanming’s answer interesting? China’s current real estate bubble is frantically rising, and China is everywhere in the construction industry, banks naturally have to assume the shameless role of being a tiger; all Chinese banks have become "construction banks." Some people say that if the entire Chinese people do not buy a house for half a year, China's four major state-owned banks will all go bankrupt, but this idea is difficult to realize. Anyone who knows that real estate is going crazy, can't wait to demolish the bank's building.
In the film, various geographic spaces play various roles: Shanxi is the place where love and marriage are lost, and it is also the gambling ground for the lives of coal miners; Shanghai is the end of the Yangtze River and the sustenance of emotions; Guangdong (Guangzhou, Dongguan) is the laborer Fengjie represents the homeland that is about to be submerged. People who lose their homeland either go to Shanxi, or to Shanghai, or to Guangdong, but no matter where they drift to, they will always be sojourners just like those stranded in the Three Gorges.
32
Sanming finally met Ma Yaomei, his ex-wife who had been away for 16 years. Yaomei asked Sanming to sit down and took his clothes to dry. The two sat opposite each other and began a conversation:
Are you hungry? Shall I buy you a bowl of noodles? ——Not hungry.
Where is my child? ——Working in the South.
Isn't this the South? ——In Dongguan, the south further south.
Is your current husband treating you well? ——Not my husband, just run the boat with him and give me a bite to eat.
You are much darker than before.
——I am getting older, how are you now? --not good.
I'm so good to you and you have to run-at that time I was young and ignorant. ——You are out of confinement, my mother won't let you work, can't support
you, do you have a wife? --no.
Let me introduce one to you—no, I just want to see the kids.
Don’t you even have a picture of your child? ——Yes, on the boat. ——Take me to see.
Why don't you come early or late? Why did you come to me for more than ten years?
Mai Yao took Sanming to the boat. After Yaomei took care of the elderly in the hospital bed, she took the photo of her daughter and looked at it for a long time. Sanming and the boat owner sat down to drink and eat. Yaomei brought the food to the table. Sanming stopped the Yaomei who was about to leave and told the boat owner that he was going to take Yaomei away. The boss said to see Yaomei's opinion. Sanming begged the boss to fulfill them. The boss said yes, but Boss Ma owed him a debt of 30,000 yuan. Sanming asked him to wait a year for him to give it. Then he looked at the daughter in the photo for a long time. Then the two came to an abandoned building, Yaomei took out a big white rabbit candy to Sanming, he pulled aside and bit off half and gave the remaining half to her to eat. At this time, the tall building in the distance behind them collapsed amidst the sound of blasting. They stood up, and he hugged her shoulders.
Mouse Interpretation:
This may be regarded as the most classic long-distance couple reunion scene in Chinese film history. There was no hug, no crying, but the vicissitudes of the 16 years were all in it.
Mayaomei aired the clothes for Sanming and asked him if he was hungry. What she cared about was food and clothing; later the two shared a piece of candy-this is the Huozhan couple! The two people are like old husbands and old wives, which shows that Sanming was really "good" to her at the beginning, and she has always regarded Sanming as her real husband since she was "sensible". In the film, we never saw their daughter. In the end, Sanming did not go to Dongguan to find her daughter. In fact, what Sanming was looking for was the emotional bond between him and Mayao sister. When she said that she was "not good" now, and when she complained about him "not coming early or late", he knew that the bond had always been tied to both of them (please note: Yaomei uses bad Mandarin and Sanming Speaker). Therefore, he later told the boat owner that he would take Yaomei away, and when the boat owner asked for 30,000 yuan to repay the debt, Sanming decisively agreed, and immediately took the picture of his daughter and looked at it affectionately-it was the bond that made Sanming Without hesitation, he chose to go to the coal mine to earn money to redeem Yaomei.
Here, Jia Zhangke is not trying to address the social ills of the abduction and trafficking of women that have existed since the 1980s. What he is asking is the living dignity of the lower class. Mayaomei was sold to Han Sanming by human traffickers for 3,000 yuan 16 years ago, and she had to go home alive when the police went to rescue her. For her, being treated as a commodity is a shame, and going home means dignity. But 16 years later, when she went through hardships, she discovered that Sanming's mother and her son really loved her, and that Sanming's family had the real warmth; she realized that being loved by someone is the greatest dignity. Even his brother would sell it to others at a price ten times that of the year in disguise, and he didn't even have a marriage certificate. 16 years ago, the police intervened to rescue Yaomei, but destroyed the originally happy marriage and family (what power does the police have to pronounce on the ownership of the children?); 16 years later, Maiomei and the ship’s owner “cohabited illegally” and became 3 Why doesn't the public security come to rescue the ten thousand yuan of collateral? For women like Mayaomei, solving their food problems is the most urgent.
White rabbit toffee, this was once one of the most precious memories of rural people. In Yu Hua's "Brothers", the white rabbit toffee is a testimony of the half-brotherhood of Song Gang and Li Guangtou. When I saw Song Gang, who had lost his father, brought five white rabbits from his hometown to see Li Guangtou's The scene was completely moved. We often say that life is as sweet as honey, which is the standard of happy life for rural people. If two people can be together, life is happiness. They were still calm when the world outside it shattered.
On the boat, the scene where Sanming begged the owner of the boat was meaningful. Sanming called Yaomei, and Yaomei hesitated before coming back. She knew what he wanted to say, but he still didn't know the obstacle of 30,000 yuan. She turned and stood outside to hold the window, and the shipowner and the iron window rod were separated between the two, which meant that their reunion was not a matter of turning back.
33
Sanming and Lao Gui and other workers eat food and drink together. Sanming told the workers that he was going back to earn money tomorrow, and the workers toasted a reunion to see them off. The old ghost asked Sanming if he could help find a way out. Sanming said that he could go to the black coal kiln. The workers heard that they could earn 200 yuan a day, which is much higher than the 40 or 50 yuan a day for demolishing the house, so they were willing to follow Sanming. Sanming said that going to the coal kiln is very dangerous, and life is in danger at any time. Everyone was silent, smoking, eating vegetables, clinking glasses and drinking. Early the next morning, Sanming and his workers set off with their luggage. Sanming turned around and found that someone was walking a tightrope between the two buildings. Then I remembered the singing of "Lin Chong Night Run". Sanming and his co-workers disappeared from the camera. End of the play.
Mouse Interpretation:
Among all the directors in China, Jia Zhangke is definitely the best one to use the camera to show the undercurrents and undercurrents under calm. In other words, Jia Zhangke's expression method fits closely with the living conditions and mentality of the lower class in China. There used to be three big mountains on the head of the Chinese people, but now there are three new ones, and the people at the bottom are even more tolerant. Because they experienced too much oppression, experienced too many natural and man-made disasters, when the difficu
