The theme of the film "Poem" is heavy, but the narrative is not dull. Director and screenwriter Li Cangdong is a master of narrative, and his films often make the audience spend a lot of time unconsciously. Short viewing time, and consciously fall into the situation and thinking.
This "Poem" seems to be soft and quiet, quiet and reclusive, but it appears to be more powerful and cruel than Li Cangdong's previous works. The narrative style of the film is smooth, soothing and poetic. The destruction of things is more tragic. Although Li Cangdong did not express his entanglement and intensity from the beginning to the end, he invisibly showed the most entangled and intense things in the most human nature, and let goodness and beauty hit the wall on the left and right sides of the world, and there was nowhere to hide, so, that Amy's good heart eventually withered, so the audience suddenly lost the strength to sigh.
People who are willing to work with words are strong and sensitive, just like Yang Meizi in "Poetry", this old lady who is simple but always dresses herself up elegantly, her heart is clear and transparent, she Love nature, love beauty, and be willing to approach beauty and feel beauty with all my heart. She loves beauty, and her stress response when encountering unexpected events is to pursue beauty. When she learned that she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, she took part in an amateur class to learn to write poetry. When the parents of other students discussed with her about compensation. At that time, her interest in the flowers on the roadside increased greatly. When she needed to negotiate with the victim's mother, she directly chatted with them about the beauty of nature, completely forgetting the reason.
However, beauty and ugliness always come together. People who love beauty often suffer in ugly events. Coupled with the guilt they bear on behalf of their loved ones, the beautiful soul struggles on the road of repentance and redemption.
In the film, Yang Meizi, who advocates beauty, has encountered more than just a little bit of ugliness. At a young age, she encountered the great stains she encountered in her life. The grandson who made mistakes eats and drinks as if nothing happened, in order to make up for compensation. Kim, who worked as a carer, had to make a deal with her employer. In this process, on the one hand, she practiced the teachings of the teachers of the poetry class—beauty and poetry are all around, to discover, to discover, to perceive, and to feel. On the one hand, it is necessary to deal with the entanglement of ugly incidents - the teenagers bullied a village girl together, and even the old man who is half paralyzed and crooked eyes has the need to buy sex...
In these two strangulation games of beauty and ugliness, the old lady put her heart in the poetry of nature while suffering torture. This painful and tangled process of deep thinking made Yang Meizi complete her thoughts on human nature and the realization of reality. Tortured, she finally wrote the first poem in her life...
The film does not use a soundtrack, only natural sounds, such as the sound of wind, running water, and the roar of the train, seem to have the magic power of attracting the audience. Follow the footsteps of the old lady who learned to write poetry through the camera, and feel the difficulties she encountered from her perspective. The performance of the leading role is more delicate and delicate, especially the reproduction of the characters' psychology. The heroine Yin Zhengxi has been away from the screen for 15 years, but her acting skills have not subsided with the separation, but have become more profound.
When reality attacks poetry, when ugliness kills beauty, people often see that too many people who write poetry are crazy, and those who love poetry are dead. Once the origin of the soul and the essence of humanity are investigated, many people see Too much thought, too far and decadent...
