The film is uneventful, the actors are wonderful, and each supporting role is not a generalist. In comparison, the new actors are a bit weaker, with a bitter face and a deep hatred, which is considered to be in harmony with the times, but there is almost no conversion, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the performance.
Zhang Yimou's interest is still reflected, such as the white thighs of the dancers in the opening scene. Jiang Wen said that when they were young, they watched the Red Detachment of Women in their shorts and their thighs. That said, it was a nostalgia.
The movie is a little dull, because the plot mainly focuses on Chen Daoming and Gong Li. This movie is supported by the two of them, but it takes too long to watch the two perform. To be honest, I think it is good, but it is not necessarily true. More brilliant, Chen Daoming's suffering makeup is good, Gong Li almost wears makeup, her skin is too good, and the movie screen is big, it feels a bit inconsistent.
Well, the above is all nonsense, what do I want to say, I still want to talk about the Cultural Revolution.
Zhang Yimou was criticized from the beginning because he deleted most of the content of "Lu Yanshi". In an interview, he talked about the process of buying the copyright, and said that he thought about how to change it right away. People said it very frankly. Because of the censorship, he thought about changing it from the back. So ignoring the current state of censorship in China and scolding him for not being brave enough, I think it's either pretending to be a grandson or nonsense.
Just like when Feng Xiaogang made 1942, someone said why didn't you make 1962. You are escaping and you are consuming suffering. All belong to the Lord who stands and speaks without backache. Instead of kidnapping them to carry dynamite bags, we should encourage breakthroughs from artists.
In fact, after watching the movie and listening to the audience's discussion, almost no one mentioned the Cultural Revolution. There are some things that this nation has long forgotten. So I sometimes read some news on the wall, and it feels strange. They all say that a sensitive day is a heinous crime. . But can it be compared with the Cultural Revolution? In fact, over the years, there has been a lot of scum from the Cultural Revolution. What else can you say to the excited crowd below the red flag?
The discussion should go back to the film itself. In terms of film art, Zhang Yimou is still just a little bit better than Feng Xiao. He is a storyteller using the language of the camera, and Feng relies more on language to promote. Comparing the two films, Zhang's return is very restrained, while Feng's 1942 is slightly frivolous, but then again, I feel very relaxed watching 1942, after all, there are many jokes. Looking back, in fact, most of the time I don't feel it. Just curious how the story goes. So back to the old topic. Reflecting on how easy it is to make a movie. The director is selling suffering, we are not consuming suffering. What is the meaning of suffering?
To put it further, our nation, which has never believed in beliefs, is itself a habit of having fun. All our thinking is built on the earth, the pleasure and pain of the flesh, not those so-called ultimate concerns, those illusory. In fact, when we go to mourn our ancestors, we want them to bless ourselves, not to wish them rest in peace. Talking about and reflecting on the Internet, everyone can watch and discuss it in a serious way, it seems very human and profound. But in reality, who would seriously talk about this. Sometimes when drinking too much, scolding a few mothers will be interrupted at any time by the topic of romance. Rarely finished scolding, and continued to drink three drinks. Then take a walk home. Turn on the computer, and there is a surge of dissatisfaction. Soon you will be able to follow the dissatisfaction and join the dissatisfied crowd. Emotions are driven. People are basically conformist. Just from whose public, it seems to reflect your difference. These days, I really understand everyone's anger and sorrow, but there must be a premise, that is, you have the freedom of this and that, but others should also have the freedom of not this or that. Kidnapping is the greatest evil at any time!
So the conclusion is that we can be fooled, but refuse to be kidnapped. After watching a movie, it is safe to say that instead of returning those forgotten pains, it is better to return more kindness.
