4.5. Feudal society kills people. Everything has to be studied before it can be understood. I used to eat people in ancient times, I still remember it, but I don't know very well. I opened up the history and checked it. This history has no chronology, and the words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" are written on each crooked leaf. I couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically. After reading it carefully in the middle of the night, I could see the words from the cracks. The two words "eat people" were written all over the book! There are so many words written on the book, and the tenants said so many words, but they all looked at me with strange eyes smiling. I'm human too, and they want to eat me! ——Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" The film does have many similarities with Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman": both are about how cannibalistic etiquette drives madmen. Lu Xun wrote it in a novella, Zhang Yimou wrote it in a movie; both are classics. However, Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" is of groundbreaking and epoch-making significance for Chinese literature, and "Raise the Red Lantern" is second. I don't want to talk too much about the color and composition of the film, and all the film reviews are clearly arranged. I'm just going to tell you my first impression of the film.
Song Lian arrived for the first time and came to this strange world with rules everywhere. But she was not a sudden intruder, but came here following the rules.
The scenes from the beginning to the end of the film are limited to this compound, and we have never seen the full view of the compound. It may also be that Laomouzi did not have the money to buy a plane for aerial photography. ??
I used to think that "Alive" was Zhang Yimou's best work. But now it seems that "The High Red Lantern" is the pinnacle of the national teacher.
For those who have read Yu Hua's original works, "Alive" does not have the atmosphere of suppressing death. In the future, I have to read Su Tong's original book "Wives and Concubines in Groups".
Songlian's tragedy is the tragedy of women under the oppression of feudal ethics.
