Everyone who has fantasies about "The Return" should wake up, if the full score is five stars, this movie can only be given three stars, and two stars are given to Chen Daoming and Gong Li respectively. The acting is really good, but it's a pity that it was wasted in this movie. Another star Give it to the original.
Originally, I was very disappointed in Chinese movies, but when I heard that Zhang Guoshi made a film about the Cultural Revolution, I couldn't help but feel a little bit shocked. After all, Laomouzi just terminated the contract from Han Sanping and signed a new contract with a new owner, and finally had the freedom to create, and in the middle of it. The scandal of Chaosheng broke out, and I hope he can seriously make a movie to shut up all the gossip. So with a sense of reverence, I took a shower and changed my clothes. I first read Yan Geling's original book "Lu Yanshi", and I rushed to the cinema early today to watch the film.
When I watched this movie, I kept thinking, is this a work that cheats money, but my reason tells me that a movie that cheats money should have all kinds of gimmicks, all kinds of bright stars, all kinds of passion action, all kinds of gorgeous scenes, but I didn't see any of them. Then this is a sincere movie, unfortunately, it's not. Except for the first 20 minutes, the rest of the plot is just making up the time. I deeply doubt that Zhang Yimou was thinking about it when he was filming, how can I make more, how can I make more, it's the same as when I was a kid when I was writing essays. the same. What's even more hateful is the simplification of the original work in the film. Things during the Cultural Revolution are not allowed to be filmed. If you didn't film, I already knew and understood, but it was originally filmed on the content of the last few dozen pages, and the information you filmed. No one has written much yet. There were originally three children in the family. After being investigated by Chaosheng, I was not in the mood to shoot. I made do with enough time to release it as a movie. Anyway, the appeal is there. China is also a fool with money and a lot of box office, but it will ruin your reputation. Is it really good.
The original book is really a good book. Yan Geling's work has a strong old Shanghai style, and it also has a vivid description of the mutual killing between the literati of the Republic of China. After reading this book, I even thought that China is so impetuous and empty now. Is this lack of belief because people with brains and ideals were killed during the Cultural Revolution, which led to the division of culture. Lu Yanshi's prototype is Yan Geling's grandfather Yan Enchun, but he did not survive the Cultural Revolution and committed suicide. Let me post a set of data:
Ye Qisun, the founder of modern physics in China. He obtained his doctorate degree from Harvard in the 1920s. After returning to China, he served as the dean of the School of Science of Tsinghua University, and after the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the dean of the School of Science of Southwest Associated University. He has contributed countless talents to China's science education. "Two bombs and one star" meritorious 23 people, most of them are his students. However, during the Cultural Revolution, he was beaten as a counter-revolutionary, detained for no reason, and even persecuted to the point of becoming mentally ill and having auditory hallucinations.
Shu Xingbei, Li Zhengdao's enlightenment teacher and Wang Ganchang's friend. He studied in Cambridge in the 1930s and returned to China after graduating. His research focused on the theory of relativity. He was a top physicist in China before liberation. . A brilliant scientist, who was devastated in the second half of his life and lost all the conditions for scientific research. After being rehabilitated, he was already an old man in a sick bed, and died four years later.
Yao Tongbin, a veteran of two bombs and one star and a martyr, the instructor and founder of domestic missile and aerospace materials technology. PhD in Engineering, University of Birmingham, UK. During the Cultural Revolution, because of his focus on work, he still insisted on going to work despite the fact that the mass fighting had intensified. Just because he did not express his position to the leader of the "rebels" in a timely manner, he was pulled out of his home, punched and kicked, and even hit his head with a heating pipe. A scientist specially invited by Zhou Enlai to come back from abroad was beaten to death for no apparent reason.
Zhao Jiuzhang, a geophysicist and space physicist, the founder of domestic meteorology, was posthumously regarded as the father of two bombs and one star. He once studied under famous masters such as Ye Qisun and Zhu Kezhen. Advocated and presided over the development planning of China's satellite industry. However, he did not wait for the first artificial satellite to go to the sky. When the Cultural Revolution came, he was the first to be picked up to criticize, parade in the streets, burn cigarette butts, and take "jet planes"... In the heavy labor reform and the destruction of the spirit, he was already unbearable. Zhao Jiuzhang, who was heavily burdened, learned about Yao Tongbin's death, and had a complete mental breakdown. He committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. (The above information is transferred from Zhihu)
and so on.
This is what "Criminal Lu Yanshi" wants to express, and it is also that Zhang Yimou's film was not made at all. Let's change the name of this film, let's call it "The Old Handsome Man Released From Prison Trying To Wake Up His Demented Wife".
ps: Chen Daoming's voice is so nice and his lines are so good.
