"The Sunshine" is a film with an anti-traditional narrative structure. As soon as the scene of severed hands and blood spurting enters, the audience is brought into a highly tense atmosphere, but the narrative suddenly turns peaceful and slow. As the plot progresses, all are restrained and repressed. Even the suicide of the eldest son, Chen Jianhao, is very calm and peaceful. This rationality sets off a kind of despair, despairing to the point of losing the strength to cry and struggle.
I didn't understand the reason for Chen Jianhao's suicide after seeing the end of the film. Let me talk about a few points: Chen Jianhao was sleeping on the table in the classroom, and the camera image changed between the classroom full of people and the protagonist alone, a kind of self-contradiction with the surrounding environment. It shows his loneliness in the school; he was kicked out of the classroom by the Chinese teacher because he was in a daze, and it also shows that the so-called teacher "values" him is just an illusion or a need for interests; at the end of the year, my father sent a notebook to write the slogan of the driving school to Chen Jianhao, who is rereading, on the one hand has the parents' infinite expectations or pressure for the so-called eldest son who has studied well, on the other hand, there is also the expression of his father's disappointment in him (a good student from childhood to old age repeats the study); when the father talks to other people Saying that his eldest son is a medical student next year more clearly shows the expectations of the original family on Chen Jianhao, and also reflects the fact that the inner voice of the eldest son has been completely drowned; because the excellent, considerate and warm contrast of the self contrasts with the younger brother's various This kind of inadequacy caused the dislike and hatred of the younger brother, reflecting the fact that the relationship between the brothers was discordant; seeing the mother smoking in a daze and taking the initiative to inquire about the communication, the mother initially had a "it's none of your business, no need to say more" attitude, The lack of communication between the mother and the son also showed; when Chen Jianhao was comforting his younger brother and girlfriend, he said that he was used to the quarrel of his parents, and his inner numbness was obvious.
Finally, there is Guo Xiaozhen. Before Chen Jianhao committed suicide, he deleted all the messages on his mobile phone, and only sent her a text message. The content is as follows: In this world, the most fair is the sun. , the time of day and darkness are divided equally, we went to the zoo a few days ago, the sun was so strong that day, all the animals could not stand the sun, they all tried to find a shade to hide, I have a vague feeling , I also hope that like these animals, there are some shadows to hide, but I look around, not only these animals have shadows to hide, including you, my brother, and even Sima Guang, you can find a corner with shadows , but I don't, I don't have a water tank, there is no dark place, there is only sunlight, 24 hours a day, bright and warm, and the sun is shining.
Guo Xiaozhen's arrival gave Chen Jianhao a chance to talk, from Sima Guang's self-metaphor of smashing the tank to the text message like his last words before committing suicide, but life has not really changed, and everything around everyone is still the same as usual, and he is still the same. The warm boy who is in the sun for 24 hours is like the gorilla in the zoo. The sun has been blazing on him. He wants to break through the shackles with his body slamming into the glass, but he finds that he keeps getting hurt and can never escape.
If these are the reasons that led to his suicide, it is not always the case. Every time Xu Guanghan plays Chen Jianhao, there is a faint gloom on his face that cannot be concealed. This gloom does not erupt at any time, as if he was born with it. He has written his emotions for more than ten years on his face, and at the same time, his life has gradually been shaped by the expectations of others, constantly exuding warmth and living as a son in the hearts of others, but he has lost himself, and there is no shadow. In hiding, the dark and heavy side of one's heart cannot be revealed. Only death can bring self-liberation and hope for the reorganization and reconciliation of the family.
