The heroine Song Lian is the core character of the film. At the beginning of the film, I saw Song Lian's tearful face. The slowly falling tears and sad expression seemed to be a metaphor for her sad fate, and my heart also sank. Going down, these tears set the tone of sadness and sadness for the whole film.
She was originally educated, in order to have a place in the terrifying and intriguing living environment of the Chen Mansion, Song Lian's personality was gradually distorted and deformed, which eventually led to the same miserable situation as Song Lian and other wives. The main culprit for these changes is the old rules of the Chen family. This is a group of women who are bound by rules, and this is also a group of women who sacrificed themselves under the feudal social system. I am very glad that I live in a new era and can pursue my own happiness, freedom and beauty, and in the film this kind of thinking may be naive or even fantasy. In a certain respect, this tragedy was also influenced by the social environment at that time.
The shooting environment of the whole film is very single, that is, the Chen family's mansion, but the single shooting environment did not bury the delicate emotions and thoughts to be expressed in this film, so the film "High Red Lanterns" is a success 's video.
Another important aspect of the success of this film is the vivid rendering of colors. In Zhang Yimou's films, color undoubtedly brings the most direct and intuitive visual impact to the audience. In this film, the three colors of red, black and white are used appropriately and freely in the film. Red, its true color is festive and auspicious, but here it has become a kind of restraint and oppression, because once you put on a red wedding dress, you are destined to stay in the Chen residence for the rest of your life. Black, the deepest and safest color, has staged the tragedy of the world here. In addition, the gray walls in the mansion also seem to herald a lively and inactive yard. From the beginning to the end of the film, there is not a single child. The child represents hope. The place with children is always full of vitality, vitality and laughter, but there is no such thing in the Chen family courtyard. Therefore, although the days in the house still have to be lived day by day, there is no happiness, no joy, no hope, and there is only an oppression of human nature and a bondage to the mind. It is an exaggeration to say that even if a person with normal nerves stays here for a long time, his heart will be distorted and deformed, and the influence of the environment on people is too great.
The delicate relationship between the four wives created this wonderful film. I have to say that these four characters were portrayed by Zhang Yimou with flesh and blood. The eldest lady seems to be old-fashioned and ignorant of the world, but in fact she is the one who knows best. As for the second wife, she is gentle and virtuous on the outside, but cunning and jealous on the inside. She is a person who is full of duplicity. This kind of character is destined to be the upper hand in this smokeless and silent war, and she will win the final victory. The third wife was an actress, and she was a very famous and popular star at the time, and she was even reduced to "robbing food" with these women. She was definitely dissatisfied, but once the red wedding dress was worn, her fate would sink and she could do nothing. She is straightforward and competitive. On the surface, she seems to have an advantage. In fact, she is a very stupid and stupid woman. This kind of person has no heart, and people can see the end at a glance. This kind of character also led to the final failure.
However, Songlian is the biggest victim of these women. From the first time he was hammered, when he was hung up, his expression was very calm. Without hope and hope, she had completely lowered her fate. her high head. Trapped in the whirlpool of marriage can not help themselves. Her fake pregnancy is the best proof. Her desire to win is too great, and she is eager to increase the pace of success, but she ignores some fatal things. Her tragedy was created by others, but she was the real culprit. Tragedy is self-inflicted, and one's own bitter fruit will eventually be tasted by oneself. Thinking of today, those who are corrupt, their desires are too great, and they even lose their reason and go to jail. Life is alive, and contented people are always happy. Why are people so greedy? The
Chen family mansion One of the most common things the hospital does is turn on the lights, turn off the lights, and seal the lights. It doesn't matter to Song Lian, she doesn't understand, what are people in this courtyard? Like everything, just not like people. Song Lian finally understood all this. The final ending was very tragic. The third wife was forced to death, and the fourth wife Songlian was crazy. What kind of fate will the fifth wife face? The red lantern will be hung high again, this situation is about to be staged, and another tragedy will be repeated.
