In addition to the general remarks above, there is actually a lot to say, but I still want to focus on the special viewing experience this movie brought me. In the process of watching this movie, I kept thinking that this is a Chinese movie "No Country for Old Men". It is not exactly like it, but the core of the story is actually similar. The 50-year-old Liu Ye and his group of old friends used to be all-powerful young people. Now they are all old. Facing this rapidly changing world, Liu Ye felt confused, uncomfortable, and lost... ...but he always worked hard to maintain his dignity until his son got into trouble, he encountered a group of young people, the world of the old man he represented and the new world of a young man had a positive conflict, the story Expand from here. At this point, what Guan Hu has done is very important, and what I like the most, is that he put the two worlds on an equal footing. In my opinion, being able to achieve these two levels of water balance is also the most revealing of the director's skills. It must be done without prejudice in the heart, and only when there is no certainty in the mind.
I think the reason why I feel so much about this is because I don’t like the media nowadays, whether it’s literary or film, because I want to make money from young people, so I just blindly flatter young people with that cheap swoosh ethos. Financial magazines are touting the 80s and 90s to start their own businesses every day. Middle-aged and elderly directors have to shoot youth films they are not familiar with, pretending to be familiar with the world of young people. A group of middle-aged actors pretend to be tender on the screen, and they can’t cover it with thick fans. Hold the wrinkles on your face. But on the other hand, do young people really appreciate such flattery and flattery? Jiang Fangzhou has an article titled "Don't Pretend You Don't Pretend to Know the Post-90s". It specifically explains the problem. Young people are also like mirrors in their hearts. If you try to curry favor with young people, it will only make people look down on you even more.
How can a person age with dignity? If one day you get old, you don't become the richest man, you don't become a high official, you don't have a secretary driver, you're not a college professor, you're just an ordinary old man who runs a grocery store, how do you face the world with dignity? How to stand in front of young people who are younger than you and richer than you? How to be neither humble nor arrogant, and win respect? How to recall the once powerful years, not to be swallowed up by sadness, and become an old man who complains about the world? How not to be sucked up by the years and become a coward? I think this is one of the topics that the film "Old Cannon" wants to discuss. At the end of the movie, Wu Yifan looked at Sixth Master's expression, I think this is the answer the director wanted to pass on to everyone, in his heart. So far, I have seen a lot of young people express their love for this movie, and the combined age of the protagonists of the movie is more than 200 years old. I think this just shows that young people, as many people think, need to flatter, fawn, coax them, and shoot whatever they like, they are not so narrow-minded. They don't need you to coax them like children, and they don't need you to curry favor with them, and they don't want to see your cheap, old-fashioned appearance. They want to see the elders in front of them, who are backboned and respectable. elder.
Finally, I would like to say a digression to end. At the end of the movie, when Lao Pao'er Liu Ye was running forward alone, I think Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo were not such ruthless characters when they were fighting back then. But I think they must have imagined such a scene when they were young. From this perspective, this movie can help Feng Dao realize his youth dream.
