I bought his "Platform" a few days ago and haven't watched it yet. This is my first time watching a Jia Zhangke movie. I really like the style of his movie and the caring for the people at the bottom revealed in the movie. Maybe some artists think that in today's peaceful and prosperous world, it needs to be resplendent to match, and it needs to sing and dance to be peaceful. But I have always believed that the truly great artist is to express life. Not an imaginary life, but a real life: the real suffering of the people; the real problems of society; the real state of the country, the real hopes and fears of life.
The real life of the people at the bottom in "The Good Man in Three Gorges" shows us how many blood and tears of ordinary people are behind the so-called greatness.
I saw Zhang Weiping quarreling with Jia Zhangke and Zhou Runfa for a while on the Internet, and I was very curious. Zhang Weiping's name has been familiar in recent years, and this person is behind several blockbusters. What kind of person is he? I checked on the Internet and saw his photo, which reminded me of two kinds of people: at best, he looks like a high official; at worst, he looks like a big hooligan. Strangely, in recent years, movies have become more and more ugly. You said, there are only such people in the movie circle, and it is strange if they look good. I remember reading an article written by the director of "Tokyo Trial" not long ago. He wrote about the process of shooting that movie, saying that what he saw was not the birth of a movie, but the destruction of a movie. Movies are manipulated by hooligans, can they not be destroyed?
Let the destruction of Chinese cinema come faster.
While eating, thinking about the movie and people like Jia Zhangke and Zhang Weiping, I felt angry. Didn't Zhang Weiping say that Jia Zhangke has the ability to get the audience to watch your movie in the cinema? I'll go see it. I ran to a nearby movie theater, dumbfounded, and it didn't show at all. Can't help but want to curse. Thinking about it, I had no choice but to go home. What about good people? This is not a society that allows good people to exist. This is the most terrifying.
