In Liu Zhenyun's original book, the first sentence is: "In 1942, in my hometown, Henan, there was a problem of eating." The
famine in Henan, the ukiyo-e under the famine was filmed in a movie, from top to bottom, from the temple As high as the rivers and lakes, in the face of famine, all kinds of people performed scenes of sad or absurd scenes, which made people sigh and sigh.
When I was very young, I often listened to my grandmother and grandfather about their experiences of fleeing the famine and starving, some for 42 years, some for 60 years. For me, those are stories of unimaginable situations, and for the elderly, they are unforgettable memories. Therefore, "the people take food as the sky" is not just a slogan, but a top priority that is deeply engraved by hunger.
Feng Xiaogang wanted to make an epic movie, he chose this piece of history that didn't go far, he wanted to cover everything and carried out a multi-line narrative, but the whole story seemed long and unfocused, which was also criticized by various film critics. his place.
The core of the film is not history, but human nature. When human beings face a real threat to their lives, how ugly human nature will be, people who have not experienced it will never know.
In any case, Feng Xiaogang dared to uncover the scars of this nation, and showed the cruelty in it to wake up future generations. Even if the ability is lacking, sincerity and practice should be encouraged.
