The Good Man of the Three Gorges directed by Jia Zhangke, whose English name is Still Life, has won many awards, one of which is the most proud: the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the 63rd Venice Film Festival. But I haven't watched it, maybe because the film itself is not gorgeous, the actors are not beautiful, and the background is not beautiful. As some netizens said, most Chinese viewers are sometimes blind. Therefore, this type of film has always been a fragrance inside the wall.
I finally decided to watch it, it was on the web. The third year after its release.
I am indeed blind.
two.
One man and one woman, one is to find his wife, the other is to find his husband.
Han Sanming, a coal miner, came to Fengjie from Fenyang to find his ex-wife whom he hadn't seen in 16 years. The two met by the Yangtze River, looked at each other, and decided to remarry.
Female nurse Shen Hong traveled from Taiyuan to Fengjie to find her husband, who had not returned for two years.
"I didn't tell it to drown! Did you see it, the boat parked over there, my house was originally there, and it has long since disappeared." The
motorcycle boy said to Sanming, perhaps talking to himself.
1. Cigarette
TV footage: Chow Yun-fat, the God of Gamblers, used money to light cigarettes, looking frivolous and arrogant.
Sanming gave the young man a cigarette, and the young man made a fire like the fat brother in the movie, but he used paper at hand.
2. Jiu
Sanming gave the child uncle two bottles of wine. "Brother, this is a specialty of my hometown, you can keep it and drink it."
"I'm not your brother, I don't drink your wine."
3. Cha
Shenhong opened the glove box of the factory where her husband worked, and in the center of the camera was a bag of tea leaves on the mountain.
She was silent. In the snack shop near the Three Gorges, open the tea bag and brew the tea. She didn't even know the phone he was using now, and her husband hadn't come home for two years.
She was silent. She understands what's going on.
Find him, dance with him in front of the Three Gorges, and the song ends.
At the end of the song no one was seen, and there were many peaks on the river. They didn't look back at each other and moved forward sadly.
4. In street performances where sugar
is occasional and scarce, they smiled comfortably when they saw that the singers were singing the unfashionable songs of "Drinking Wine".
The young man I met in the Three Gorges, followed the boss's instructions to move a person, and distributed white rabbit candy to everyone before departure. He later died in the rubble for unknown reasons.
Finally found his ex-wife, she took his rain-soaked coat and hung it on the shed for him.
Her: Sit. Are you hungry? Buy you a bowl of noodles to eat.
Him: Not hungry. Where is my child?
She: Working in the south.
Him: Isn't this the South?
Her: In Dongguan. further south.
Him: Is your current husband good to you?
She: It's not my husband, run the boat with him and give me food.
Him: You are much darker than before.
Her: Also older.
Him: How are you now?
Her: Not good.
Him: I am so good to you, you have to run away.
Her: I was young and ignorant at that time.
Him: You are confinement, and my mother won't let you work. Can't keep up.
Her: Do you have a wife?
Him: No.
Her: I'll introduce you to one.
he does not want. I just want to see the kids. Don't you even have a picture of your child?
She: Yes, on the boat.
Him: Take me to see it.
She: Come early, come late, why did you come to me after more than ten years?
She swallowed and he lit a cigarette. In short, no nitric acid, written off in the past.
"I'm going to take her away. Give us a year, and I'll give it to you." Sanming said to his ex-wife's current man. The man said that if you give me 30,000 yuan, you can take her away.
Looking at the ruins, the ex-wife gave her a candy, he bit half of it, and gave the other half to her.
The final shot shows a man walking a tightrope between buildings.
Sanming went back to earn money and went down to dig coal mines. He said that he could earn 200 yuan a day when he went down the well, but it was dangerous. More than a dozen people would die a year. If he went down in the morning, he didn't know if he could come up at night.
Will he be able to pick her up next year?
three.
A city of more than 2,000 years was demolished in two years. They are heartbroken, and they are saddened by their hometown.
For some things, the pros outweigh the cons, but some people have to make sacrifices. Often those who make the greatest sacrifices are the most neglected, low-level, submissive, and tolerant.
You may despise their level of knowledge, but you must not disrespect them, like respecting every righteous life. We are all the same.
Jia said: I want to use movies to care about ordinary people, first of all to respect the worldly life. In the slow flow of time, feel the joy or heaviness of each mundane life.
Tobacco, wine, tea, and sugar are all indispensable linings of worldly life.
The domestic film industry is booming now, but such films are few and far between and live "underground". If Cantonese residents watch more such films, will their pride and xenophobia be reduced?
I like the performance of the heroine Zhao Tao, silent and direct. It seems quiet, but it has settled in your heart. It's not likeness or professionalism, she's just saying to you, I'm being myself.
The hero turned out to be Jia's cousin, a coal miner. See the title of the page: "The Three Gorges Good Man" Chilean award-winning actor is absent from Shanxi to dig coal. It still feels dramatic.
Finally, despise yourself again.
