In those years, it may be that Chen Kaige really followed suit

I watched "Farewell My Concubine" last year, and until now there is no way to calm down. Many people around me told me that Chen Kaige was trash except "Farewell My Concubine", and even some friends said that "Farewell My Concubine" was not directed by him, but directed by his father. For a long time in the past, the impression of Chen Kaige was very indifferent. Maybe it was because "Wuji" at that time caused him too much infamy. I didn't take the initiative to understand him, and I followed the crowd I don't think the director is good enough.
This year, for some unknown reason, I suddenly wanted to review "Farewell My Concubine". I wanted to review only a few scenes, but I watched it again. "Ba" made me, who never understood why Beijing Opera sang simple words for so long, to appreciate the beauty of drama. Perhaps because of this, I went to see another drama-related movie "Mei Lanfang" directed by Chen Kaige.
After watching "Mei Lanfang", I have to admit that there is indeed a big gap with "Ba", but I think the first half of "Mei" is really good, maybe the whole movie doesn't look good, but just based on this For the first 50 minutes, I felt that this was definitely not something someone who cheated on the world by relying on the film directed by his father could make it. Then I watched this "With You", and after watching it, it changed my view of Chen Kaige greatly. The dim and simple film tone, the natural and unpretentious emotional interpretation, and the right soundtrack all show my inner emotions with every minute and second of the movie, let me smile when I should laugh, and make me cry when I need to be moved. Eyes filled, instead of wanting to choke my neck and shout "cry for me" like some fake sensational movies.
There are two scenes in the movie that moved me the most. The first is that Teacher Jiang gave Chun'er the last lesson. In front of Chun'er, he complained that Teacher Jiang never changed his clothes and was sloppy. The proud Teacher Jiang let him go directly, but when Liu Cheng stopped asking him to be a teacher for Chun'er. , Chuner knocked on Teacher Jiang's door again, but I saw Teacher Jiang wearing a neat white suit, came to the piano, and played for Chuner's violin once and for the last time. When it was over, he looked up at Chun'er's face and smiled, "Our class is over." Teacher Jiang was smiling, but why did I cry?
And in the last scene, Chuner gave up the chance to participate in the competition and ran to the station to find his father, where he played his violin in the noisy station. In fact, when I saw the second half of the episode, I had a vague idea of ​​whether the plot was going to be because Chuner's father had an accident, and then Chuner performed the most perfect violin performance despite her grief. This kind of ending is of course very cliché, but at that time I felt that the rendering of the father-son relationship had been very successful. Even if the ending had such a cliché trend, I think I would cry. However, Chen Kaige's handling was beyond my expectations. It wasn't that Chuner finished the game with grief for his father, but he gave up the game for his father. When he learned that Professor Yu had been deceiving him with so-called emotions, he ran to the station, and the scene of Liu Cheng picking him up from the station was interspersed in the camera. I was deeply shocked.
Many people think that this scene is too unrealistic, and it is indeed a bit. In reality, even if Chuner is disdainful of Professor Yu, he can still go to his father after participating in the competition. But this is movies, and movies don't provide guidelines for people's real life, they provide what the creators insisted on. Chuner gave up the competition, perhaps giving up the opportunity to achieve his life, but it means that the music he insists on is for feelings rather than pure success.
After watching the movie, my mood is trembling, and I can't help but search the Internet for various reports and materials related to it. This feeling is really gone for a long time. I have to mention Chen Kaige again. Really, it's not that he doesn't have any good movies except "Farewell My Concubine", maybe it's just because "Farewell My Concubine" has raised his image in people's hearts too high, and "Wuji" also Let him fall too hard.
