’s not the famous action movie that Uncle Wu Yusen made in Hollywood, although I have seen that movie long ago. It’s a movie by the old Chinese director Wu Tianming. , I watched it with Sister Jiang a few days ago in silence.
Xu Baogeng said that postmodernist films often show optimism or despair based on irrationality. In fact, it is not only the sixth generation, but many Chinese films are like this, just like the so-called "justice triumphs over evil" in American films. Face-changing is a realistic film that people thought it was bound to be tragic when there were ten minutes left, but in the last five minutes, it suddenly turned into a happy ending inexplicably.
If the ending is the death of both grandparents and grandchildren, the face change will become a tragic classic, but the rescue of the two is too incredible. How many people will inevitably be sacrificed in history, and the ones who can be rescued are very few. The victory of family love over the trend, and the conquest of human nature by art are not convincing. Because everyone knows that individuals have only the fate of being swallowed up in that era, so the face-changing eventually became a touching ethical film. I also shed tears when I saw the smiles of my grandparents and grandchildren. That's all, I always feel that the most valuable movie The place is not only to impress others, but to make people confined to emotions and thinking to a certain extent after walking out of the cinema, and cannot break free for a certain period of time. The aftermath of the film is a strange atmosphere, and the continuation of the dream after the end of the story is the real success. (I don't know why I thought of one and eight with the same fate. Sometimes, wishful optimism is actually stupid and sad, but people need such self-deception, even if the artistic value will be reduced accordingly)
