I'm afraid that the woman named Sister Tao in the movie is kind and kind, gentle and virtuous. When she encounters difficulties, she always says, "We can't give up." She also regularly goes to the orphanage to do volunteer work, and if she dies, a group of people say behind her back how much she doesn't know. People who gossip will hold the little white chrysanthemum bought from the group and say, "Why are such good people gone?" Then they go home to wash vegetables and cook, and then again, they are gone.
As a result, I seem to have forgotten that the director is Xu Anhua. How could the person who made "Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai" make "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"?

Which two people have you met for the first time and said hello like this:
-- Hello, everyone calls me Mei Gu, I have kidney disease and need hemodialysis.
--Hello, everyone calls me Sister Tao, I have a stroke.
That's what happens in nursing homes.
Once upon a time, there was a madman named Steve Jobs who said that death is the best invention that God gave to mankind. This was nothing, and everyone laughed at it, but when the madman became a man, everyone began to believe it.
If this guy is right, most people also get the range wrong. People say "death", not "old".
Die, relax, without a breath.
The old is different, the old is more troublesome, just like the various old people in the old people's home in "Sister Peach", who have been sitting at the door with their necks tilted and drooling, and those who have eaten a mouthful and missed a mouthful, always walk around the corridor in the middle of the night and call me to go back The family, the thief still wants to go to prostitutes, and the son left in the nursing home still thinks that he is just busy with work. In short, there are only two kinds of people, the dead and the dying.
In one scene, an old lady who just died is also one of Sister Tao's few friends in the nursing home. Her daughter is going through the death formalities while crying. The woman standing at the table, squatting on the seeds, looked at the crying woman from time to time, but turned back quickly, it seemed that the game of cards was a little more attractive to her.
This is the "not explaining" in Xu Anhua's films. She is a literature student and knows very well what a blank space is. There are a lot of things that other directors may describe with great color. The rest, you can think about it.
Some people say that the reaction of these old people is indifference and indifference to life. In fact, not necessarily, this kind of mentality is very subtle, what do you want them to do? Holding every dead friend and crying bitterly, can you cry every day?
In fact, they don't know what to do. They think, now this one is her, and the next one might be me. Who am I crying and sad for? Forget it, who cares, it might be better to come four more laps, in case it goes wrong.
Death in a nursing home fits the slogan of chicken soup for the soul: Get used to it.
In the past, every time I saw publications such as "Yue Ji" that were overly sensual about feminism, I always saw interview titles such as "We want to grow old gracefully together". From the initial surprise to the present suspicion, "Sister Peach" has strengthened my thinking. Come on, it is impossible for a person to age gracefully.
You will watch age spots raging on your face, arms, and hands, you will feel panting after walking two steps, you will gradually lose sight of the words on the newspaper, you will suddenly have a stroke, and when you come to the rescue, you will find that your mouth is slanted, like The grimace you made when you were young, the difference is that you will never come back, you will lie in bed, you will have to rely on a nurse to take a bath, you will be incontinent, and your children will brazenly discuss the issue of how to pay your funeral expenses, but you can't refute that you both Why do you think about things so far in the future, maybe you will be electrocuted several times, and at the end, the rescue will be declared invalid, and the time of death is BALABALA.
How can you be elegant. No matter how much money and power you have, it seems pale, no matter whether you are carrying Hermes or hating dogs.
How is it? Now I find out how lucky Jobs is. He did what he wanted to do when he was young, and he did it well. He was called to drink tea with God before he was young, leaving hundreds of millions of fools every day. Thinking of him, we don't have to see him introduce the virtues of the iPhone 15 while drooling at the corner of his mouth.
Back to the movies.
"Sister Tao" is very similar to a chapter of parallel prose. It is full of confrontations and pays attention to rhyming. Every time Rodger and Sister Tao quarrel, Qin Pei went from the initial "borrow me 500, or 300" to the last "borrow me 50, Or 30", it's all carefully crocheted threads, details that aren't even wasted.
Xu Anhua's films are really not judged by "telling a good story". Because this is not a good story in the first place, it is too original and true, and many movies will not add the details that BOTHER audiences have to worry about. For example, why does ABC Rodger, who is obviously rich, always dress like an air conditioner?
It's a bit like the classmate in the previous class who was always in Chinese, but suddenly he wrote a narrative essay that coaxed people into tears. When the teacher started to read it, you were still a little disdainful, and then the class gradually quieted down, and the girls in the front row Start to sob softly, your eyes are wet, but it's strange that he obviously doesn't use any rhetoric.
