The choice between success and art
—A brief comment on the choice between success and art in the film "With You"
Since ancient times, people have not been able to give a correct answer. The question of attitude towards life and the choice of life value. The director of the movie "With You" is director Chen Kaige, who has a very well-known name in the Chinese film industry. He used the growth of a 13-year-old child from elementary school music as the main line, and the choice between success and artistic pursuit is towards the direction. People raised questions to cause people to think deeply: whether it is more important to be successful on the outside or bright on the inside of art.
Success, the word is so bright and yet so ugly. Behind every successful person there is always a silent effort, but the effort behind it is different. in the video. Liu Cheng accidentally overheard the inside story of the winners in the toilet twice. The first time was when he first came to Beijing to participate in the Children's Palace competition. The previous parent is the sponsor. This is the first time that Liu Cheng knows that the shady story is also the ugly beginning of the film's success. For the second time, when Liu Cheng delivered food, he saw a violin player in the bright stage where the audience applauded and someone gave flowers. Such a dreamy scene moved Liu Cheng, and in his heart he was ready to ask Liu Xiaochun So plan. In the conversation between Professor Yu and the performer in the toilet
, it was revealed that the performer was cheating on the stage, and Liu Cheng happened to hear it in the toilet. Although the performers feel extremely honored on the stage, as Professor Yu said, the audience applauds not because of your music but because of your name. Such success is only packaged and inherently dirty and ugly. Because it does not belong to oneself, it is false, it is just filling one's vanity with other people's art, and is deceiving oneself to deceive others to deceive art, and the only thing this kind of success can bring is material satisfaction.
Art is so noble yet so mediocre. At the beginning of the film, Liu Xiaochun played for the richest man's wife in the village to give birth to a child. The vibration of the strings made a beautiful sound, the symbols of the music floated everywhere, and the cry of the baby gradually disappeared in the music. Music welcomes life, and music shapes the feeling of life. In the film, Mr. Jiang can represent a person who is pursuing art. He is sleeping while listening to the competition in the Children's Palace. He slowly opens his eyes when he hears the performance of Liu Xiaochun, who is really capable and capable. When teaching fat children to learn piano, he can endure the poor level of children. But can't stand someone disrespecting art. In Teacher Jiang, you can see the nobility of art, but also the mediocrity of art. The first thing that appears in the camera is Teacher Jiang's dress, with messy hair and casual clothes, and then the accommodation that constantly appears in the camera, dirty outside the door The smell of water in the house, and the quarrel with the neighbors in behavior, shows the mediocrity of art to the fullest. Real art is internal, and those who truly pursue art can not care about external images and materials. All art is mediocre from the outside, but art is noble when you feel it from the heart.
The choice between success and art, some people dream of success, and some people bravely run to art. There is a sharp contrast between Liu Xiaochun and Lin Yu, Teacher Jiang and Professor Yu. When Teacher Jiang asks Liu Xiaochun to wipe the sheet music, the rhythm of the music gradually speeds up. Xiaochun closes his eyes and is intoxicated between the notes. From this clip, we can see that Liu Xiaochun is love Music loves art, and in the last lesson Mr. Jiang taught Liu Xiaochun, Mr. Jiang dressed neatly and played with Liu Xiaochun. A beam of side backlight hit the two of them, and the face of Mr. Jiang, who had always been sloppy, showed A beautiful, holy image, combined with music, makes people feel that the beauty of life is nothing but that. Liu Xiaochun Qin and Yi, even if they live up to Teacher Jiang's teachings, express their nostalgia for Teacher Jiang. And Professor Yu is the teacher Liu Xiaochun looked for after he was forced to leave Teacher Jiang. He has a way to make people succeed. He also has another student, Lin Yu, who chose Professor Yu's life path - success is fame Start a family, have a social status and live a decent life. She finally turned around and stood in the spotlight she dreamed of. However, Liu Xiaochun did not choose the path of success. He did not specifically pursue success. What he loves is music and art, not so-called fame and success. Just like he finally ran to the railway station and found his father to express himself through music. Feelings, use music to express the heart. At this time, the camera sometimes cuts to Lin Yu's stage performance and sometimes to Liu Xiaochun's station performance. Two people with different pursuits use the same music to achieve their goals. One gets superficial glory, the other Seed inner satisfaction.
At the end of the film, "With You" directed by Chen Kaige brought huge conceptual thinking to the audience, reflecting the different choices made by different groups of people in the society, and at the same time, it also opened people's dusty hearts for a long time. Art or success, why choose success, and what does success mean? Is it worth it to choose art? Is it true that as the movie lines say, heaven is also dark but angels are bright? These self-questions are like music floating in my mind and constantly reverberating in my mind.
