Regarding the creation of Chinese humanistic care, no matter what form it is, whether it is a novel or a movie, the best works are almost all on the other side of the strait. Perhaps living in a land of great lightness only needs to be bathed in the sunshine every day, and you need to be careful not to pay attention to the other side covered by the shadows behind the sunshine. Beneath the bright and bright back waves is the dark undercurrent. I don't know what to say, whether to escape or face it.
Returning to the movie "The Sunshine", in fact, I would like to call it the best Chinese-language film in recent years. In the script of "Sunshine", I found the shadow of life, or wrote life into the script, and brought out the disgraceful but constantly recurring things for discussion. The whole film revolves around an ordinary Taiwanese family, two generations, and three young people's stories, and at the end of the film is the most mediocre Ah He, each person's own story may not be enough to resonate, but with the The background of this era is enough to make people meditate.
The greatest wish of a parent is to have a child, at least for most ordinary families. The Taiwanese family in the film is no exception. Fortunately, they have a very good and obedient and sensible eldest son-Ahao, one of the male protagonists. Ah Hao, played by Xu Guanghan, is handsome, has excellent grades and is gentle to others. He is not only the hope of his father (in the eyes of his father, Awen, the second son who is like a gangster is hopeless), but also the future of the entire family, a beam of sunshine leading to the future. However, just when everyone thought that Ahao would join hands with Xiaozhen (a potential girlfriend, who did not admit it) into medical school, the director took an inhumane turn, Ahao chose to commit suicide, and his life came to an abrupt end. Turning it back and looking at it, I found that it was not abrupt. In the "Story of Sima Guang Smashing a Tank" told by Ah Hao, you can experience Ah Hao's "darkness". In the story, Sima Guang and his friends played hide and seek together, obviously all the "ghosts" were found, but Sima Guang Just insist that there is one less. After continuing to look for it, a group of people walked and came across a tank. The little friend cheered: Then he must be inside. Sima Guang lifted the stone and smashed it into the vat. Bang! There was a person hidden in the tank. who? It's Sima Guang himself, or maybe Ah Hao (expressed in the form of animation in the film). In fact, from the story told by Ah Hao himself, it is not difficult to find that in the deepest part of Ah Hao's heart, there has always been a self who does not see the sun all day long. , is decidedly different from the handsome, sensible and gentle Ah Hao outside. It can be seen that he cannot be sheltered by the shadow in the real world, and even Xiaozhen who is with him cannot reach it. In the end, Ah Hao chose to commit suicide, which was unexpected but understandable, probably to find a shadow that could shelter him. Here I put the text message left by Ahao before committing suicide to experience it myself: "The most fair thing in this world is the sun, no matter the latitude or low, the time of day and darkness is equal in every place throughout the year. We went to the zoo a few days ago, The sun was so strong that day that all the animals couldn't take it, they all managed to find a shade to hide in. I had a vague feeling that I couldn't tell, and I wish I had some shade to hide like these animals, but I Looking around, not only these animals have shadows to hide, including you, my brother, and even Sima Guang can find a corner with shadows, but I don't have it, I don't have a water tank, there is no dark place, only sunlight, twenty-four The hours are uninterrupted, bright and warm, and the sun is shining.”
In the film, Ah Hao is gone, but in reality, how many Ah Hao are still struggling hard without being understood? We have no way of knowing, but the NetEase news we saw recently: "Sad! A few days after school started, many students have jumped off the building! Everyone has committed suicide, what's the point of education?" are homologous. Ahao's tragedy, on the one hand, is related to the characteristics of oriental families. Although the three principles and five constants are no longer popular, the blood of "the father is the son, the husband is the wife" seems to be still flowing. Many sensible children are not born sensible, but they must live as their parents want them to be. In the process of growing up under load, the deeper the thinking, the easier it is to cross the limit of tolerance and take the extreme route to free themselves. . On the other hand, it is the lack of detection and response to adolescent mental illness, which is actually very difficult, especially in front of "extremely sensible" children.
In stark contrast to the excellent Ah Hao, Ah Hao's younger brother, Ah He played by Wu Jianhe. As the second son in the family, Ah He has never been likable. A and bad? It's actually quite bad. At the beginning of the film, Hei Lun was bloody and had his hand cut off by Cai Tou. The reason behind this tragedy was that Ah He wanted to teach Hei Lun a lesson. But is Ah He really bad? No, he didn't, and he was even a little cowardly. In court, Ah He was timid and only cared to distance himself. He really couldn't be called bad. Therefore, it is more appropriate to understand Ah He as a small gangster. From the perspective of the film, the transformation of the small gangster Ah He is promoting the development of the plot step by step. After committing a crime and being imprisoned in a juvenile institution, the conflict and growth in the juvenile institution, the death of his brother, the marriage of A Yu, who was unexpectedly pregnant, and the owner of the car wash shop of the benefactor after being released from prison, and the reunion with Caitou. Helpless, I reconciled with my father's relief, and finally ended up getting an errand fee that should have been Caitou by accident (ironically). This most complete process of reforming evil and returning to righteousness is "smooth" and has a little cliché.
In the process of analyzing Ah He's growth, it is not difficult to find that his mother's doting was one of the factors that made him become a gangster. Since he was a child, he would do illegal things to please his mother, and even "borrow" someone else's money at the end of the film. Take my mom for a ride on the bike. The second is the bias of his father, Awen. Compared with the outstanding eldest son, Ahao, Ahe is useless in the eyes of his father, and there are many cold and violent people. He never mentions his second son to others. The third point is the psychological pressure caused by brother Ahao to Ahe. As for growing up, it is very easy to understand. The friendship of the inmates, the departure of his brother, and Ayu waiting for him at home with the children are all the driving forces for Ahe's growth.
The last young man I want to talk about is Caitou, a tragic young man in the sewer. He has been dependent on his grandmother since he was a child. In fact, he has long since figured out how to survive. In order to survive, he can do whatever he can to be ruthless, but he lacks love and at the same time cherishes brotherhood. , Compared with Ah and this kind of gangster, Caitou is the real material for walking and social underworld. In the end, because he was not ruthless enough, he lost his life under the car of Ah Wen, who was eager to protect his son. In fact, when it comes to Caitou, I don't want to talk about the underworld, but to talk about the problem of left-behind children. The data that has been checked so far is more than 60 million. Not everyone of these children who lack love will turn bad and become like Caitou, but their problems caused by inadequate guardianship, lack of love, neglect of care and other reasons have not been well resolved for a long time.
After watching "The Sunshine", I was touched so much. In addition to the script, the actors' grasp of the characters and the storytelling also improved qualitatively. In addition to Chen Yiwen (Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards), young actors like Wu Jianhe and Xu Guanghan are also very good at handling and have a great sense of substitution. Such a comparison of young actors born under mainland capital is indescribable.
As for the director, I don't want to blow it up. After all, I know Zhong Menghong's ability after watching "Big Buddha Plus". "Sunshine" won the Golden Horse Award for best editing, and the best photography nomination is worth looking back again.
