First of all, starting from the most fundamental question, is the director an idiot or the audience an idiot? First of all, the director is definitely not a fool. "Last Night on Earth" was selected into the "Un Certain Regard" section of the Cannes Film Festival, nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture, and won three Golden Horse Awards for technology. If Bi Gan is an idiot, then Fu Mao, the head of Cannes, and Ang Lee, the chairman of this year's Golden Horse Awards, are also idiots. This is obviously impossible.
Are the audience idiots? Neither.
Where did the fundamental disagreement arise? From a misunderstanding that is not beautiful or even ugly, the audience walked into the cinema with the mentality and premise of watching a romantic movie. But "The Last Night on Earth" is a visual "a game and a dream". Just thinking about passionate kisses is definitely not enough to understand this movie. The interaction between the director and the audience is not the audience wearing it along with the plot. 3D glasses are as simple as that, but the audience has to play a jigsaw puzzle to identify dreams, memories, and reality, and put them back together to form a whole story. Everyone splices different stories based on important information points. After I read it once, I also tried to splicing the stories together. Of course, because I only read it once, some information points will be missed.
This is a third-person game, game on!
The little white cat was born in such a native family. His father, Eagle, has been dealing with the underworld, and his mother is the owner of a hair salon. After marrying his father, he began to have an affair. The mother told the little white cat that every time he steals honey, it is an affair, because the iron gate where Zhang Aijia meets his lover in the last long shot is a honeycomb structure, and the authenticity of the story of stealing unattended honey with a torch is questionable. .
But sometimes the mother fails. After being discovered by the father, the mother may be severely beaten. At that time, the mother will eat the whole apple with tears and sadness, without even spitting out the apple core. This incident is deeply engraved in the little white cat's mind, and when he grows up, he will eat a whole apple when he is sad.
The little white cat grew up and became a white cat. Like his father, he also got involved in the underworld, with Zuo Hongyuan, the boss who loves to sing KTV, but he also fell in love with Zuo Hongyuan's woman Wan Qiwen. There are only two choices for a woman who falls in love with the boss in a gangster movie. Instigated by Wan Qiwen, Bai Mao picked up a pistol and prepared to assassinate Zuo Hongyuan, but was thrown into the mine by Zuo Hongyuan.
Wan Qiwen escaped from Kaili by train, but the train had to return to Kaili when it encountered a mudslide. Where is the mudslide, but the save file after the first failure of the protagonist's game restarted.
Luo Hongwu, played by Huang Jue, appeared on the train. He saw the ghost of the white cat on the train. This is an important plot point. What is the relationship between Luo Hongwu and the white cat? Are they friends? Then why do friends eat a whole apple when they are sad and hopelessly fall in love with Wan Qiwen. Is that a person? It doesn't have to be a person, otherwise, it would be a little strange to see Wan Qiwen for the first time, and her father still runs a restaurant, and also recognizes the "call machine" police couple. It might be bold to assume that after Luo Hongwu saw the ghost of the white cat, the ghost attached to Luo Hongwu, Luo Hongwu had the affection and obsession of the white cat, and he and the white cat were not alone.
The above assumptions are still like playing a game. If a character fails to pass the level, you may choose another game character to pass the level. The player still has the obsession with the game that the previous character has not completed, but the skills and abilities of the game character currently operated It will be different. For example, Luo Hongwu has a small truck prop given by his father when he goes online, adding ten points to his agility.
The second time the game started, the new game character Luo Hongwu was launched.
Luo Hongwu also fell in love with Wan Qiwen. They had a long-term intimacy. Wan Qiwen followed Luo Hongwu to get used to the smoking method of tearing off the cigarette butts. She lied and tricked Luo Hongwu into having a child and also convinced Luo Hongwu. In order to be with her in the future and to teach future children to play table tennis, Luo Hongwu also got on Wan Qiwen's suit, but this time he succeeded, killing Zuo Hongyuan with a pistol under the cover of gunfire in the cinema.
The murder of Zuo Hongyuan is not the end of the game, Wan Qiwen mysteriously disappeared again. Luo Hongwu drove a minivan and then got on a minibus to a hotel. Only then did he know that the charming Wan Qiwen had become the ex-wife of the hotel owner. She was now working as a singer in a karaoke hall not far away, and Luo Hongwu followed him. karaoke hall, but while waiting for Wan Qiwen, he entered a movie theater and put on 3D glasses, fell asleep, and accidentally entered a hidden level.
In this dream game, Luo Hongwu wakes up in a mine from the very beginning. This mine may be the mine where the white cat was dumped. The little white cat appeared in front of Luo Hongwu with the skull of a dead animal. The little white cat is lonely and autistic, and even has a strong aggression towards strangers. This is the influence of the broken family. Luo Hongwu looked at him and thought of his unborn child. In the first level of the dream, defeat the little white cat in table tennis as a father. Luo Hongwu quickly completed the task, and the little white cat opened his heart when he had someone to accompany him.
The little white cat took Luo Hongwu to the next level on a bicycle. At the exit of the mine, they met their mother's former lover. Luo Hongwu's reward for passing the level was a ping-pong racket that the little white cat gave to make people fly.
Luo Hongwu entered the second level of the dream game on a zipline. As soon as he flew down, he met Kaizhen, a girl who was very similar to Wan Qiwen. In this level, he helped Kaizhen play slot machines and beat the little boss who made trouble at the pool table, Luo Hongwu. He quickly won the favor of Kaizhen, but Luo Hongwu was looking for Wan Qiwen, just like Bai Mao wanted to understand why his mother left him.
Luo Hongwu entered the final level with the racket flying props given by the little white cat. He rejected Kaizhen's confession, and at this time he saw the red-haired woman, the mother of the white cat. The red-haired woman held a torch, and Luo Hongwu chased the past all the way, until he reached the big iron gate made of honeycomb. The lover who kidnapped his mother was cowardly. He didn't dare to open the hive again, and he didn't dare to take his mother away. Luo Hongwu took a gun and forced his mother's lover to open the door, and let the mother pursue the love she wanted and help her mother. He was relieved and reached a reconciliation with his mother. He ate the apple given by Tarkovsky, ate the apple core, and went all the way to the backstage of the stage, where he met Kaizhen, the woman who liked him.
This is Luo Hongwu's dream. In his own dream, he can make Kaizhen look like Wan Qiwen, even if Kaizhen's accent, Kaizhen's clothes are not as good as Wan Qiwen. Kaizhen told Luo Hongwu that she knew a beautiful room that would rotate, and the two of them walked to that room.
The room has been burned to black, but it will still spin in the spell, Luo Hongwu chanted the spell, the room revolved, and he kissed a woman who loved him.
game over! Maybe in another level, Luo Hongwu did not wear 3D glasses to dream, the white cat's obsession would not dissipate, and Wan Qiwen would not be able to be chased back.
Perhaps, only dreams can calm our minds.
The story and the game are over. If you watch the "Thirteen Invitation" in which Xu Zhiyuan interviewed Bi Gan, you will get a lot of answers about this movie. The director's parents divorced when he was a child, and his mother still runs a hairdressing shop...
This movie may be Bi Gan's love letter to his parents.
