In fact, the main theme of Shanhe’s deceased can be explained by a sentence from a generation of masters, that is, there is only the road in front of you, and there is no behind. Farewell all the way, not only to say goodbye to hometown and this moment, but also to say goodbye to old people and even relatives. Every human being is essentially an island. To fully understand a person, or to fully understand oneself, is an impossible task. Even fully understood, it is difficult. So, to play your role well is to give a certain certainty. It's a safety. For people. So do countries.
From birth, we are bound to be physically or mentally displaced. I remember watching the TV series "Zhang Xueliang" before. He went from Shenyang to northern Shaanxi, from Nanjing to Taiwan, and finally died in America. He left and never went back. This kind of feeling, for those who left, such as Jinsheng (the name of Jinsheng was born in Shanxi, but went far away, it can also be said to be promoted, from gas station owner to coal owner to venture capitalist to people who cannot return to China , all the way up, but in the end he kept asking about freedom) and his happiness. There are also Tao who sticks to his homeland, and Liangzi who has gone and returned. Liang Zi, who finally came back, was terminally ill. Since Shen Tao gave him 30,000 yuan, he has disappeared from the movie. We might well think that, in fact, those were his last days. The last scene of Liang Zi's wife is to take her son out of the house, which is also a kind of departure, even the departure of her dying husband (and this is almost an inevitable choice). And President Shen, as a mother, insisted on saying goodbye to her son in the slowest way. In the film, there are also the old father who died on the way to his comrades' birthday, and the elegant old woman who went from Hong Kong to Toronto to Australia.
In fact, it was not only them who said goodbye. The mother and son who burned paper for the pilot who crashed the pesticide-spraying plane, the boy who was carrying Guan Gong’s knife, and the comrade-in-arms Lao Wu, they were also saying goodbye to their old friends. Say goodbye to yourself.
A friend of mine watched the screening and couldn't understand why Dao Le went to bed with the Chinese teacher. In fact, from the two details of Ye Qianwen's cherishing and Zhang Aijia's wearing sunglasses. For Dale, this feeling of being separated from the world actually happened in himself and in the past time he had forgotten. After growing up without a mother, the Chinese teacher is actually a substitute for the image of the mother. We can take it as a natural manifestation of the Oedipus complex. And even without the ephemeral props, Oedipus may have occurred among Dustin Hoffman's graduates.
I like all three natural sections. the whole movie. There are traces of my life so far. I was born in a big northern city and lived to go to primary school. My parents went south to a coastal city in the north. I spent a year or two years alone with my grandparents and my grandparents, and then I followed suit. Go south and reunite with the family. But every year I go back to my hometown during winter and summer vacations, either with my parents or alone. The connection between my home and my hometown is on the two round-trip trains this year. Simple and slender to maintain. So much so that I missed the passing of grandpa and grandpa. I haven't been able to see the last time. In other words, a farewell is a farewell forever. After going to college, I wandered alone in some cities, and I went to some places more, maybe for some things, but also for a certain person. I did a train all night, and then hurried, and then took the car back. After graduating from university, I went to a small border town not far from my home. Live a life alone. In addition to going to work every day, I just go shopping for groceries and go to the supermarket, and then go home to cook. eat by yourself. Spend every long night by yourself. Three years later, I returned to the city where I returned home, worked for another year, and went to a big city in the northeast to study for graduate school. When watching the movie, the audience behind me said how I was doing in my freshman year. For my classmates, their freshman year was four years ago, and my freshman year was ten years ago. In a flash of ten years, how many cities and how many people have we bid farewell to? Should be a lot. But not much. The current girlfriend, works in the real southern D.C. I've done a 33 hour train ride and a five hour flight to see her with a connecting flight. This distance spans almost the entire north and south of China. I will be graduating in two years. What will I be then, where will I go. I have no idea.
Director Jia Zhangke used music as props in this film, and when I was writing this article, it was the cherished single loop. Music props are actually very useful and very useful. Because music is indeed the best prop for evoking memories. When a specific song is played, it must be that person, or that time period, and even more that kind of feeling. That feeling will bring the past to the surface in the fastest way with the music. In contrast, Hong Kong 囧 and Charlotte's troubled nostalgic music wants to evoke collective memory, but it is too exaggerated. As if the music from a different time sounded, the characters remembered the past. While the audience used God's vision to "see everything", how could they escape the meaning they wanted to express? This feeling has also appeared in the dialogue between the father and daughter spanning 30 years of time and space when watching Interstellar.
Another use of the director's camera is that the actor faces the camera directly or sideways, and the character facing the camera is outside the camera. In this way, it makes people feel that the actor facing the camera, intentionally or unintentionally, is facing the audience himself. This kind of interaction and communication is still helpful for the expression of meaning, or in making the audience think.
After watching the film, several audience members did not get up immediately, and one female audience applauded with unobtrusive slight movements. I think this simple farewell is just right.
