I read the book first, then the movie. The fate of the characters, the movie is better than the book. Especially Fugui, in the book, Fugui sent away all his relatives, and then accompanied an old cow to old age. The movie has a hopeful ending. Regarding Youqing's death, I think the book is better....

I often heard others mention the novel "Alive" written by Yu Hua, and said that the story in it was very tragic. I have also encountered this book several times in the bookstore. One uses big white characters: "alive", which looks quite scary, because we have read some works criticizing realism...

Youqing has donated a lot, but after donating blood, it’s not enough. He was hit and killed by the district chief's car, and he said that the district chief...

Some people say that "Alive" is Zhang Yimou's most emotional film. Indeed, the narration of the suffering life in the film is shocking. The insignificance of people in front of fate and the tricks of fate to people are the messages conveyed by the screen to the audience. Even in the face of such a...

Really, this movie has been lying on my hard drive for a few years. When I opened it this time, I watched it with the mentality of "betting the dog must die." Who knew that I would cry after watching it. The scene of burning paper for Youqing, and the scene of Erxi picking up Fengxia, they were all...

This work, adapted from Yu Hua's novel of the same name, "Alive", is Laomouzi's best film, comparable to "Farewell My Concubine", which was also in the 1990s. It is a big drama of the era, and it also has both epic pattern and cultural connotation. There are many familiar faces in it, such...

I didn't go through the massive reviews of this movie, but I believe that some people will sigh how a director who made a "banned film" back then "degenerates" into a bad movie king, and also becomes a queen.     Zhang Yimou is undoubtedly a good director. He has filmed "Red Sorghum", "Raise the...
