An hour and a half, neither long nor short, with a compact plot, a movie of a style that I have never seen before, I finished watching it without interruption.
I want to distinguish between right and wrong for everything, Yang Jinshan, Tianqing, Judou, who is wrong and who is right, I was thinking about it from the beginning of the story. Yang Jinshan is harsh, treats everyone as an animal, and treats the animal as a treasure, bought Judou, and saddled her and tied it up. As for Tianqing, every day through the small hole in the barn, he peeped at Judou, until one day Judou showed himself to him, so they became husband and wife. Yang Jinshan had a stroke at the back and wanted to kill Tianbai. From the beginning to the end, Yang Jinshan was a bad person, but this badness seemed to have no direct connection with the relationship between the three of them.
So what is in the end, it is inevitable, it is fate, it is the ending that has been written long ago.
In the movie, color is always the emotion. In this village, every household has white walls and black tiles. There are many panoramic shots. Either there is no color at all, or it is the brightly colored cloth in the dyeing workshop of Yang's family. The black and white are dazzling and out of place. Sky blue and chrysanthemum beans are like these cloths, which were born in layers of repression, out of place, and even slightly obscene colors.
Why is it life. Yang Jinshan used to lock the door with a small copper-colored lock. This lock always appeared in Tianbai's hands. He didn't know whether to lock Tianqing outside or Judou inside. He piled layers of cloth on the wooden stairs, set a fire, and wanted to die with them, but he was drowned, and was taken by his own "son" into the red dye pond fatefully , and in the end, Tian Qing was thrown into the red dye pool by his son, and the small copper lock locked the door. After all, the yard was buried in the sea of fire.
People and things that could not be tolerated here turned into gray ashes and were buried in this colorless village.
There is also Tianbai, he can't speak, but he is called Yang Jinshan's father, he can't laugh, but he laughs when Yang Jinshan falls into the dye pool and is dying, so people feel that he is not a specific person, but some kind of meaning picture.
The dyed and undyed cloths in the movie always fall down, layer upon layer, and each time it falls, it seems that something is ending with it.
The love between Tianqing and Judou is like the cloth dyed in the yard. It used to be unrealistically beautiful, then it fell, and then it was swallowed up by fire, leaving nothing behind.
