After watching the screening, I talked about why I felt bad. In short, the author restored the state of a group of characters in the change of the times, but did not see the point of view that the author gave to the characters.
This film has the same look and feel as "Me 11". I want to attribute the changes in the fate of the characters to the times, I want to criticize and reflect, but I don't dare to say it explicitly, so I can only show the state of the characters under the torrent of the times, but not The state of having an opinion is very empty, and as a result, the criticism has become a scratch.
The people in the film are squeezed to the point of being like ants, and they can't resist or shout. They can only wander around, make do with their lives, and accept the status quo. Well, we've all seen it. But I want to see the status. Why don't I look at the old footage? Why did I walk into the cinema to watch your feature film by Wang Xiaoshuai? Don't want to see how you give characters perspective? How are viewpoints connected with the times, how are they opposed, and how have they changed in different times? These represent that you are the author. Why do you advertise the author's film all day long and turn it into a mime pseudo-documentary?
What is the opinion, in short: what did he think! You tell me what the character is thinking right now! What was the person standing across from him thinking? Why do they think differently? Caused by the times? Caused by fate? hurt each other? It boils down to one sentence: what do you think, director? What do you want to tell us through the characters?
There are only two points in the whole film that clearly made me feel the character's point of view. One is that Wang Jingchun grabbed the kitchen knife and asked Haohao's father not to mention this matter so that Haohao could grow up healthy. One is that Qi Xi said that I want to give birth to a child and return it to your family. Although this is naive, at least I can see that the characters do not exist in the story numbly and have an attitude towards the current events.
If you want to talk about fear, I can understand it, but there are two types of fear, one is afraid to say it, and the other is afraid to say it directly but try my best to say it. Now that the film is made like this, I don't think I want to seriously think of a way.
Think about it carefully, if we show each character's different views on the times, on destiny, on themselves and the other party in the film, in fact, the censorship and the audience's attention will focus on the contradictions between the characters, but no one will accuse you of being sloppy. , because people's choices under the torrent of the times lead to changes in their own destiny, and the changes in people's concepts also reflect the alienation of people's concepts at different stages of society. If everyone's choices are squeezed by the times and thwarted their spirits, then I think One person will do, I don't have to look at three families.
Some people say it's like "Children of Jianghu", I don't agree, because Chief Jia didn't think about complaining secretly, right? It is also related to the changes of the times. "Children of Jianghu" is about "the life of Jianghu people who have been despised under the torrent of the times". What the author mainly wants to talk about is that people's choices create fate, not the times. But "Long Time" obviously wants to put the blame on the policy, right, then you have to think hard about how to say it. Can't say something, who's to blame? Weird censorship?
A few surprises during the viewing process:
1. In the context of handheld photography in the whole film, suddenly a rocker arm slowly rose and buckled to shoot the two children lying on the top of the brick kiln. I really almost lifted the table and left the table, it was too capricious.
2. I saw that Haohao was very remorseful after the incident, and Haohao’s parents were also very ashamed. At one time, they thought that Wang Yuan was playing an older Haohao, and the whole film would become: I aborted your second child. , my child drowned your child, I gave you my child as an adopted child, you called my child as your child Xingxing, but I didn't raise it well and ran away, my sister-in-law green, your man will send you another child to raise story, perfect. In the end, you told me that Wang Yuan sent it with a phone charge?
3. Du Jiang sent the second old man home and decided to say something from his heart. At that time, I wondered how he wanted to compensate the second old man and send another child? Buy a house? As a result, the most shattering scene happened, he actually recounted how he killed Xiaoxing in front of the second old man! ! ! I TM? ! I am amazed that the script can write such a selfish and shameless person!
4. I thought the film was over when I picked up the phone at Er Lao’s grave and received the good news of the natural birth. In the end, there were still two scenes to close. I don’t need it. Director, I am too lazy to know if Wang Yuanhui is back or not. I don't want to know, let me go, I can't hold back my urine.
I originally thought that the deleted scenes in the Berlin release had hidden secrets, but I looked through the descriptions of the people who had seen them, and they were still in some states.
