The film "Alive" is directed by the master of formalism Zhang Yimou, starring Ge You and Gong Li. Adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous author Yu Hua.
This film mainly tells the story of the wealthy, young and rich who are addicted to gambling. After that, a series of events happened, which changed the rich and the rich. The film shows the fate and suffering of little people. Humans, like manipulated puppets, cannot control their own destiny. Therefore, people must live and work hard to live!
In the face of war, human life is so fragile. Fugui saw the sacrifice of soldiers and soldiers on the battlefield, and the corpses were all over the scene. Let the wealthy see the insignificance of life, and said this sentence: "I must live well and go back well". I think he must have understood the meaning of life.
The dolls in fate are often involuntarily helpless. Shadow puppets appear many times in the film, and it can be said that shadow puppets run through the entire film. Wealth begins with shadow puppets and ends with shadow puppets. He was the epitome of the Chinese people at that time. His daughter died, and then his son died. He couldn't resist his fate. The powerful force of fate has never let go of the rich family from beginning to end.
The film "Alive" truly tells a "Chinese-style tragedy". Chinese peasants endured everything silently in that era, but they also lived their lives very hard. Zhang Yimou's creation of this film, with an philosophical state of mind, to sustenance a beautiful yearning. Yu Hua wrote in the book: "People live for the sake of being alive, not for anything other than living." I think this is the meaning of life.
