Such truth

Realistic shots. When I watched the opening paragraph, I thought it was a documentary depicting a decadent Chinese in the late Qing Dynasty, but when I found out that the chenhuan in the play was played by a foreigner, I suddenly realized why I had this documentary. Ideas? Continue watching to discover that the exquisite scene reproduction and group performances truly show the street scenes of that era, and the more important thing is the people in the film. The superb acting skills of the two protagonists are for the current audience. , It may appear exaggerated like a theater actor, but the more exaggerated, the more real it is, especially the dramatic changes in the face of the heroine, the spasm of the hands, the stiffness of the whole body, the uncontrollable trembling, through the close-up of the middle shot. Don’t show the image of this poor girl intuitively with a real performance. Such a vividness will shock the audience, at least for me. I am afraid it will be difficult to see such an intuitive expression of fear in the future. At least this kind of shock is not There will be again. In contrast to the present, if certain actresses can show half of Lilian's acting skills, they won't be ridiculed by the audience. The role of chenhuan was very successful, and it was so successful that I would directly arouse deep inner resentment. The rickety and slow figure directly evoked the insult of the Westerners to the Chinese-the sick man of East Asia, this is because Realistic. At the beginning, Chenhuan was a nobleman in the late Qing Dynasty who straightened his waist. Later, he became addicted to the toys commonly loved by Baqizi brothers and smoked opium. A person fell so degenerate. He was crushed by opium and crushed by the reality of life, so he finally bent down. Rod, just like most Chinese people at that time. I even doubted whether the director Griffiths directly condensed his impression of China at that time on the character Chenhuan, who was China at that time. He accepted the pamphlets of Western missionaries in the chaotic life, and took out the pamphlets after the girl died. I feel even more disgusted when I see this. Is it hopeless that I will have a person who is deeply influenced by Confucian culture? Will the Chinese finally believe in Jesus? But the indignation was temporary because it was still lost to the truth conveyed by the movie. Just like the Taiping religion back then, isn't it the so-called spiritual belief that the Western missionaries are seeking because they are hopeless in real life? . Didn’t the Qing government at the end of the Qing Dynasty choose to rely on the West and continue to linger? It’s not so ridiculous that Chenhuan will go to religion in the end. Such a bad fate continues, until when Chenhuan meets love and meets her, this is the last hope given to him by the bad fate, even if the hope is perish, even if the nature of this hope Vain. His last shot up was not that fate pushed him to the extreme, and he made a tragic and heroic behavior contrary to his own weak image. Thinking about China at that time, it really looked like Chenhuan was forced to the extreme, or Chenhuan was that China.
