This is the first time I wrote it, not for how many people watched it, but because I wanted to be able to leave my own voice in a movie that inevitably reflects the situation in the process of China's rapid development, as if I had participated in it. History.
I was late for the movie theater, and I didn't see it earlier. It happened that Xu Zheng was discussing agency rights with the boss of an Indian pharmaceutical factory. The audience at the back hahaha, me too.
The snippet that impresses me and is still in my head is as follows:
1 Sihui, at the moment of team building, was found by Cowherd to dance. I told Brother Yong to wait a moment, I'll be back in a moment and I'm going to dance. And that day, she rested, she was used to being yelled at and bossed around, because she needed money, which was already in her subconscious obedience. Brother Yong threw the money and asked the Cowherd to dance. She was watching from the side, until the guests with tears in their eyes shouted "Take it off". The tears were the release of grievances. It's her picking up on her own personality.
2 Brother Yong insisted on sending her again and again. In fact, Simeng already understood what Brother Yong meant, but he still smiled. That smile makes people feel distressed, it's a kind of just getting out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, but what can I do? She needs money and medicine. In Simeng's house, her repeated insistence is cautious, which makes people feel distressed like walking on thin ice. She was afraid that because Brother Yong was unhappy, she would lose money, and more importantly, lose her medicine, so it was her daughter's medicine. In the end, Brother Yong left, probably because he saw the girl, he didn't feel particular about it, took advantage of the danger, and finally left. After Brother Yong went out, Simeng's smile was heartfelt happiness.
3 Pastor Liu, at such an old age, still insisted on being a pastor when he was ill. It also illustrates the steadfastness of his faith, God bless you, which appears many times in the play. Every time it appears, it makes everyone feel interesting and can't help laughing. And those who thought that they believed in Christ privately, when Brother Yong proposed to break up the group and give Zhang Changlin the power of agency, Teacher Liu said: He is a person who goes to hell. The details of this reversal, at the beginning, Buddhist things were changed from the mouth of Brother Yong, to the mouth of a devout Christian who believed in God. It means that Mr. Liu's subconscious already felt that Zhang Changlin was too bad, and God would not forgive him, and when the last sentence "God bless you," the theater was very quiet, and there was no laughter at all.
4 Lu's wife found him after one side and asked Brother Yong for help. He was accompanying the client, and the importance of the client could be seen from his flattering performance. I originally thought that at this time, under the urging, he would shout "Get out" at the driver, and then rush to the hospital with his younger brother and sister. I want to see, but I'm afraid to see, but maybe that makes the most sense. Because Brother Yong was still the same Brother Yong at that time, he has not changed, he is still a money stalker. And the sadness in the back is ready to come. When he came out of the Lu family mourning hall, there were groups of patients at the door. There were group leaders he knew and strangers he didn't know. Some of them had disappeared, but the pair of eyes above the masks might be judgments, swords. They are accusing, questioning, roaring, begging. Silently passing through such a crowd, he has spent 99.9% of his energy, while Huang Mao is hiding in the corner, eating oranges without saying a word, Brother Yong really can't bear it. When Lu Jialing changed, maybe he wasn't ready to go back to his old business again. The change was when he saw Huang Mao.
There are still plenty of scenes in the movie that can pierce your heart. Old Lu Qingchuang’s screams and numbness while waiting outside; after Huang Mao’s death, Brother Yong went to his residence to find photos and train tickets; Brother Yong, who was sent to prison, saw Lao Lu in the team of patients who watched him. And Huang Maoye's tears; Aunt begged Cao Bin not to investigate further.
What makes me feel uncomfortable is: Cao Bin said in the investigation report to the director after receiving the case: what the medical representative said was not entirely correct, Indian medicines are cheaper than regular channels and just as effective. Not a fake drug. And what the director said is: it is not included in the medical manual, there is no clinical manifestation, it is a fake drug.
They are not wrong, but who is wrong?
Fortunately, the subtitles at the end said that such a disease has been greatly improved, and maybe his heart is soft. He hopes to use these words and these facts to dispel the discomfort as much as possible in the film. It did work too.
1. The change of the times may not be achieved overnight, it may be the action of some people, or he may not take the initiative.
2 Our country has not been established for a long time, and I believe it will get better little by little. Our children and grandchildren will be better.
