Live in a thousand metaphors.
The director of the film uses the role of grandmother to think about group relations: elders and juniors, men and women, superiors and inferiors. And these are tepid in Li Cangdong's films, thinking that depression needs to be vented in an angry way, but grandma didn't. She didn't want to learn to express, even though she learned to write poetry. Did she write poetry to be understood? Maybe not, she is learning to see, to experience, to feel. The wind blew through the leaves, she was thinking about what the tree was thinking; sweet apricots hit the field, she felt the kind of desperate; the girl committed suicide, she went to the laboratory and went to the bridge where she committed suicide. That's why, when she was young, sisterhood made her cry, and she even felt that it was time for her to feel death.
Grandma is emotionally pure in every group.
When she was with Zong Yu, she didn't want to lose her temper with him, and she also expressed this when she was talking to her daughter. When she learned the reason for the girl's suicide, it was probably the first time she rummaged through Zong Yu's room. She felt unfamiliar, at a loss, and even angry about such a method. She asked Zong Yu: Do you know what grandma likes most in this world? Zong Yu replied: Zong Yuwei was fed. She didn't tell him that you have to eat, she just said that I'm happy that you like the food I cook. She didn't cover up things like other parents, she cried silently and asked Zong Yu why, she put the girl's photo on the dinner table and said nothing. She didn't ask her grandson with her own standards of behavior, she just didn't understand why he wanted to hurt the girl. And what about grandma and her daughter? She said that she and her daughter are friends, best friends. She didn't ask her daughter for money when she needed the settlement fee. The men asked her: Don't you have a good relationship with your daughter? Because of this, she did not ask her daughter for money. Regardless of responsibility or future generations, before these, you should be a human being, and how important is emotion.
The film contains a large number of women and men who seem to be forever closed off and unable to communicate with each other. The six boys locked the door and discussed something in the room. The grandmother looked at the apple outside the door and said why the apple is so beautiful, why should I eat it. The parents of the five other boys looked at Grandma through the glass window and said how pitiful she was and how the teasing on their faces was out of place with the grief on Grandma's face. At poetry readings the men read their lusts and tell vulgar jokes, what grandma said was blasphemous poetry. Of course, there was also the president of the grandmother's service. He told her that he wanted to be a man again before he died, but it seemed that he didn't need to discuss it with his grandmother. He only needed to take a viagra. Did grandma compromise? At first, she didn't. She still didn't accept the boys' behavior. She didn't want to take the initiative to find the girl's current money to reconcile, and she didn't want to help the president prove that he was a man. Grandma has been fighting with her own identity with her persistence, and this is not only kinship identity, but also social identity. But in the end, she seemed to have compromised. When she was talking to the reporter, she turned to the male parent. She committed herself to the president, and she used the book she wrote poetry to ask for money. But she didn't, maybe even we would be surprised, when Zong Yu was finally taken away by the police, why didn't grandma stop her, why didn't she wonder. No wonder, because she never wanted to raise this money from beginning to end. When she was the one who wrote the poem, she believed in nature and pure feelings. She thought that the amount of money was not the reason for a mother to accept reconciliation, but she was also A grandmother, she had to do it. But when she took out the money, she abandoned this identity, and at that moment she wanted to simply be a person. So she never cared, didn't bargain, didn't fight, and didn't ask her daughter for money.
In the movie, the superior and the bottom are more helpless, the right to speak is solidified, you can see that everything is in order, you can see that everyone is in their own will, you can see that no one is forcing you, but all this is not free.
However, all groups are only metaphors, we are connected to all people by an identity, and we do not want to break away from this identity at all times. I want to determine my path in life at the beginning, do everything, and finally plant an apple tree, straighten the flower pot at the window, and wait at the door.
