I found this movie to be quite gimmicky just in terms of plot. There are cheating, suicide or homicide, problem girls and rich second generation, and that's all there is to it. Yang Dechang was not yet 40 years old when this film was made. For him at this time, the most terrifying thing in life was to remain the same and see the edge at a glance. Guling Street will not be released until 5 years later. At this time, the thinking about society is still concentrated on the middle class, and the time span is not that big. Yang Dechang put his thoughts on the so-called middle class in the films of this period, such as "A Day at the Beach" and "Terrorist". At the beginning of the film, there is a shootout, and when a police car arrives at the crime scene, they will think that this is the origin of the title of the film. But after reading it, I know that it is not. Terrorists may refer to the seemingly peaceful life, the unfathomable depths of everyone's heart, and the difficulty of communication. This will be even more terrifying. As the main characters, the hospital's Li Lizhong and his wife Zhou Yufen. On the surface, Li treats his wife well. He lets her do whatever she wants, resigns to write novels, and writes novels. Although he is not interested, he does not force her to give up. He earns money to support his family by himself, and has no complaints at all. And when his wife left, he was still blaming himself for not giving her a better life. Come to see my wife again, I rack my brains at home thinking about novels every day, until I find that some of my previous life accumulation has been dug up, so I can't write anything. For her, making life more exciting is what she means. She never thought that she would be able to burden others, but she just lived in her own world. Her husband was obedient to her, and she was still not satisfied. leave him completely. Li has always been a bit too useless. He only knows how to pay and never makes demands on his wife. It was not until he went to his wife's company to make trouble and shouted that he showed a difference, showing that he also has his own ideas. As for his wife, she never knew what she wanted. She always wanted one stimulus to make her feel alive. If a stimulus was no longer fresh, she would leave resolutely and look for the next one, but she never looked inward. Heartless people. The emotion she asked for to be understood seemed so empty and powerless. He is such an unintentional person who always points his finger out, complaining a lot about his husband, thinking that he doesn't understand him. After all, how could she ever understand him. Compared with a wife who works hard at home all day, who has more pain in her head, the former is undoubtedly the former, while the latter wants to leave because she cannot communicate. Without seeing her attempt to communicate, it is inevitable that she will feel as confused as her husband. In the film, you can see Li's dedication and steadfastness, which is of course inseparable from Li Liqun's interpretation. However, the role of Zhou Yufen is a bit illusory. It feels like she is more like a clone of the director's concept, constantly screaming, I need to understand, you don't want to understand me at all, or you can't understand me, you are arrogant, want to make life less plain, want to ask, but Have you thought about paying yourself? Who gave you the qualifications to ask around for these. This role reflects a kind of hollow confusion, which may be the crux of some people's problems, and it is also like a transmitter of ideas. She has those words written all over her body, you don't understand me, you don't understand me, so I want to leave, or I want to be plain, and you don't have any of these, it seems that leaving is the only solution. This is probably what every person of that age wants to ask himself, I don't want to live like this, I want my life to be exciting enough. But the point is, what effort have you made yourself, have you ever thought about it. Zhou's approach is to put on the hat of incomprehensible style to her husband, and then turn to the arms of the old lover. There are also two interesting characters in the film, a rich second generation who likes photography, and a problem girl who has no family warmth. This part is more like a character imagined by the director. After taking a photo of the problem girl, the second generation of rich captured the kind of panic or confusion, and fell in love with her. She doesn't care about anything while hanging out with a girl who relies on immortals to make money. When she is locked at home by her mother, she makes random calls and plays pranks. She doesn't care if it will hurt others. She is even more unintentional. If Zhou Yufen still has a petty bourgeois moan, then this girl is even more inexplicable. Even if the rich second generation confesses to her, she can still steal his camera and sell it for money. As for exposing her clients, You can stab him without hesitation. Why is she so indifferent, we can't know more about her than seeing that she has a pungent mother. Director Yang, do you have any misunderstandings about women? Maybe he wants to use the roles of these two women to express his approaching 40 years of age, and to complain to the society, I don't want a life that remains the same, who knows my confusion! Thanks to the two veteran actors Li Liqun and Gu Baoming in this film, they made an imaginary story more lifelike and not as powerful as floating. There are two more endings. Li Liqun's smile when he went to see Gu Baoming was bizarre enough, and his embarrassment and hilarity when he lied was really a stroke of genius. After all, calling Li Lizhong to kill or commit suicide is not what this character should do. This is just what the director wants him to do, but for the society's indictment, apart from dying so fiercely and so passionately, living like a dead body is even more shocking, and that is the life path that belongs to Li Lizhong, and it is also the vast majority of people's life. The road of life is even more cruel! But why not generation after generation Is this how it came? Director Yang's film captures the atmosphere of the live scene and feels first-class. All the film elements are coordinated with the true meaning, which is breath-taking, but I don't like this story. Sort out clear answers. Think of Cai Qin said, I have all the contributions. And Director Yang said, ten years of marriage, a blank. Director Yang is like Zhou Yufen, fighting secretly in his head, but Cai Qin understands life better than him. They just met too early, or good luck. Director Yang's last marriage should have allowed him to finally fall from the clouds to the mortal world and know how to live a down-to-earth life. At least, among terrorists, I think he still doesn't understand.
