How about love

Franci in "A Tree in Brooklyn" once wrote an essay, writing about his true father, a down-and-out man, and a poor man. He was scolded by the teacher and said that the composition should write beautiful things. Later, Franci began to secretly write novels, how the protagonist (his own psychological projection) lived a pampered life, eating glass-covered grouse breasts, greenhouse asparagus, imported mushrooms, pineapple cream dessert bars and other delicacies. It was written that she was crying, and she suddenly felt ashamed of herself. She realized that she was writing about Ronghua's life, but in fact it was all about hunger between the lines. It’s just writing in "this twisted, roundabout, and stupid way.

Sometimes I’ve got this feeling when I watch a well-crafted blockbuster. On the surface, I’m writing about the prosperity that a country once had, but in fact it’s A "twisted, roundabout, and stupid way" is writing about my low self-esteem and how I can’t find North in reality. This is also one of the reasons why I didn’t get a good impression when I watched the Olympic opening ceremony last year.

Just watched "The Good Man in Three Gorges" ", I recalled the "big productions" of some other directors (especially the "Golden Armor" which conflicted with the schedule of the film), so I thought of Franci’s mental journey, and felt that the two were somewhat similar. Look at those big productions At the time, do you think what you saw was a work? It was just an examination paper handed to Hollywood. What you saw between the lines was the desire to cater, and the anxiety of seeing the in-laws with the little daughter-in-law.

The film of "The Good Man in Three Gorges" I wrote about the China I know, a China where ruins and prosperity coexist. Its development seems unstoppable. But looking back, there are still so many poverty and backwardness, depression and resentment. But there is nothing wrong with facing all this. In adversity In the difficult situation, the tension of art is greater. A person who has been at the bottom for a long time to see life can tell a true and resonant story when he emerges. I hope that Jia Zhangke will not be divorced from reality because of the hotness nowadays. , Was eventually transformed by Zhang Yimou.

This film tastes faint and a bit boring, but all the images it creates are so intriguing. But when I was seventeen or eighteen, I would not like this film, I will I yearn for everything beyond the horizon, those that are far from reality, and everything I long for. At this age, I have also seen a bit of the world, so I pay more attention to what our selves are all about. This also includes the country. Agree.

I think everyone has an impression of this country in their hearts. Some are memories of past times and some are avoidance of reality. The most precious thing about Jia Zhangke is his sincerity and dare to face everything in this country, including depression and pessimism. . Chinese directors are sometimes arrogant, sometimes they are inferior, and sometimes they are a combination of the two.

And Jia Zhangke had his confidence in making movies. Like the painter Xiaodong in his documentary "East", he felt that the statue of David may not be a suitable subject for artistic creation. There are rich ore in the local area. If you think about it this way, don't exaggerate what you think is beautiful to show off, and don't exaggerate what you think is ugly to greet you, "what's the matter with love". In this regard, the painter is the same as Jia Zhangke. I think Director Jia has found himself and his voice.
