There is a shortcut from Jiangbian dormitory to Tiaozihu Road. It is a narrow street. Its conventional name is Oil Smoke Street. It is an image name. You can imagine the dirt and chaos of the street, but I like to call it an alley. I don’t know. Why, maybe just a weird idea or a subconscious mind.
There is not much reason, the alley has always been like this, every time a person will definitely walk this alley, not only fast, but also very safe, inexplicable sense of security, no interruption.
Alleys are all imaginings of dirty and messy collections. The narrow streets are extended by small restaurants, cheap and dirty shops, the walls are smoked black and shiny, and the water can be sloppy. It was messed up, as long as there was a little water on the bumpy ground, it would form small puddles, the shoes would be black and wet, the garbage was everywhere, and the smell of the food was sour, it was really messy, Many times I want to count the number of restaurants in this alley, but I can't continue it once, for no reason.
Even in the messy situation, the children of Normal University and the High School Affiliated to Normal University are still happy to perform the lowest human needs on this small street, crowded with people, and perform stories that all kinds of people can't get enough of.
There are many secular people living in this alley, which reminds me of Eileen Chang's novels, which use the most beautiful words to describe the love of men and women in the secular world, simple and careless secular love, love is often derived from satiated food some afternoon later.
Perhaps this is the lampblack street culture, a messy culture that breeds bacteria, and some simple emotions, such as love, are hidden under this mess.
When I watched Lou Ye's movie "Suzhou River", I became more convinced of this view, that love like a motor and a peony can be born on the rubbish Suzhou River. Relatively speaking, the movie is quite peculiar. It starts with realistic description shots, but narrates the whole story in a literary language in the first person. Lou Ye may want to highlight the theme of love, and he will really spend his life searching for it. ? An ambiguous ending, it is said that Lou Ye is a little narcissistic, and it really is.
Peony fell in love with Ma, and a rich girl fell in love with a courier. Later, he used this love to kidnap Peony. Peony jumped into the river and Ma looked for it again. Then he found another woman who looked very much like Peony. An unclear love story.
The plot is very special, and even more special is their love on the garbage-filled Suzhou River, the love between a kidnapper and a rich girl. Love turns the kidnapper into a poet. Should it be a question mark? After he was released from prison, Ma was looking for it persistently. He said, I always believed that Peony was still alive. She was still in a corner of the city. He liked the lonely and persistent expression on his face when he said this.
Lou Ye seems to like to use close-ups, peony close-ups, motor close-ups, Meimei close-ups, close-ups tirelessly, too much visual fatigue, the out of focus of the camera shakes everyone's mood, endless, no end .
I really like the way Zhou Xun walks with arms crossed in the movie and his twinkling eyes. Ma Ma rides a motorcycle and peony throws a Beijing movie. He looks dashing. Zhou Xun finally said that if I leave, will you look for me like Ma Ma? "I" did not go looking for Zhou Xun, he would rather wait for the next love.
Not all rubbish-derived loves are reliable, like the love between "me" and Meimei.
Perhaps exquisite love has already produced aesthetic fatigue, and people are more willing to see strange and tangled love, just like the love between Michelle and Dennis' tramp in "Lovers in the New Bridge", which is unbearably dirty, at the lowest level. The truest love I've ever encountered. Wen said she prefers a cleaner love. Yes, no one loves a dirty world.
In the rubbish, you will always find the truest thing about people, wandering in the lonely world and discovering that one day you have to compromise, just like Mei Ting in "Aspirin" waiting alone for her lover until one day she finds that she can't continue Going down, you can only compromise and succumb to the love of the world.
Continue to walk on the street of soot, continue to breathe the air with the smell of soot, continue to be with the garbage there, walk through the dirty alleys day by day, and feel the worldly emotions hidden in the dirty alleys.
