This year's summer schedule is finally on fire. Not only will 20 movies be re-released on July 1st, but there will also be a total of 44 new movies scheduled to be released (as of August 30th) .

Many films that had been withdrawn due to the epidemic were finally released.

Among them, there is one film that was postponed from the Qingming Festival to the summer schedule, but caused a wave of enthusiasm as soon as it was released:

" Life Events "

The film grossed over 100 million in the box office in one day after its release, Maoyan scored 9.6, and now Douban Also scored.

There were many people backstage who wanted me to talk, so I paid for the movie with my own money. After reading

, I feel that there is a good reason for its good reputation.

Not only Zhu Yilong contributed acting skills that are completely different from his calm personality, but the subject matter of the film is also a plus. It involves the funeral theme which is rarely covered in domestic films. This is quite attractive from this point of view.

The plot part to be told next involves slight spoilers for . Friends who don’t want to watch the plot can just scroll to the end and watch (not) .

In "Life Events", Mo Sanmei, played by Zhu Yilong, was born into a funeral family, and her ancestors opened a shroud shop.

The name "Sanmei" looks a little bit like a girl, so everyone in the world calls him "Sange".

The third brother doesn’t know how to beat around the bush when doing things, he always goes straight.

He previously adhered to the principle of "stop making noise if you can do it" and successfully sent himself to prison.

If you want to talk about why you got into the situation in the first place, it was actually because of a woman. The third brother fought with his love rival for his girlfriend Xixi, and that's why he kept a criminal record.

What the third brother did not expect was that Xixi would break up with him not long after he was released from prison.

Of course the third brother didn’t want to let go, but his way of trying to get her back was straightforward. He didn’t say sweet words or show weakness and admit his mistake. Instead, he picked up his girlfriend and walked into the house.

It turned out that there was another man in the room, and that man happened to be his love rival.

What the third brother didn't expect was that Xixi was pregnant with the child of her love rival.

Not only is his relationship unhappy, the third brother's work is also in a mess. He is often said to be a "killer man". In addition, he has been in prison and is even more discriminated against.

went to help the deceased get dressed, but was slandered by his family for stealing the deceased's ring.

When he got home, his father didn't want to see him, so he kept talking about his second brother who he had never met but had passed away.

The father saw that his son was not up to par, so he even beat him.

The third brother did not back down, nor did he give in. Instead, he stretched his neck forward and said, "Hit me, hit me, you can beat me to death."

Just when the third brother was feeling disheartened, Orphan Xiaowen Suddenly broke into his life.

Xiaowen has no parents and has lived with her grandmother since she was a child. Her grandmother's sudden death left her at a loss. At this time, Xiaowen could not understand what death was. He only knew that when he saw his grandmother for the last time, he saw his third brother.

Then the third brother took his grandmother to a place where he would never see her again.

Xiaowen asked for directions on her own and actually found her third brother's shroud shop. She came here for no other reason than to know the whereabouts of her grandmother.

After the death of his grandmother, Xiao Wen only had one uncle left. Unfortunately, he was still a strict wife, and was so controlled by his aunt (the one who had previously accused the third brother of stealing the ring) that he did not dare to raise Xiao Wen. Wen didn't want to leave the shroud shop, so he took advantage of the situation and took Xiao Wen into foster care with his third brother.

The third brother was usually lazy, but the sudden appearance of such an inexperienced little devil made him a little at a loss, and the two of them collided with many ridiculous "accidents".

For example, with Xiaowen's help, the third brother suddenly took over the job of organizing funerals for living people.

When the family found out, they made a big fuss at the funeral. Not only did they not make any money, they were also beaten.

There are many other weird things like this. The third brother and Xiaowen gradually developed a bond while getting along with each other, and the third brother gradually became more and more responsible.

Unexpectedly, just when their life was getting better, Xiaowen's "dead" biological mother suddenly came back. Where will Xiaowen go?

Since the film is currently being released, we won’t go into too much detail here. Friends who have already watched it can leave a message in the comment area and let’s discuss it together.

After watching the movie, one obvious feeling is that Zhu Yilong is very attentive to the role of the third brother.

Zhu Yilong once observed a person like Third Brother in a funeral parlor. He had a round shave, was leaning on the car, smoking a cigarette, and talking on his mobile phone. This scene made the image of Third Brother suddenly stand up in Zhu Yilong's heart. .

Zhu Yilong is very close to the third brother in appearance. He wears a floral shirt, a small gold chain, and slippers. Wu Qian, who plays his girlfriend Xixi, said that if Zhu Yilong was left on the street, it would be difficult to find him at a glance. .

In addition, he also captured several small details.

For example, the third brother’s mobile phone screen protector is always broken.

For another example, before filming, Zhu Yilong was glowing white, but when filming started, his skin color was much darker.

If you look carefully, you will find that there are always one or two wounds on his arms.

Although this was accidentally done while filming, it was unexpectedly suitable for the third brother. People like the third brother who don’t care about their image are always bitten by mosquitoes and insects. If the body is smooth and flawless, it will look very good. play.

Zhu Yilong worked hard to fit the role this time, and the acting skills of his co-star Yang Enyou are also remarkable.

When the third brother's father was teaching the third brother a lesson, Xiaowen jumped out with a red-tasseled gun, stared and shouted: "You can't beat the third brother!" That kind of unstinting momentum was just like that of a little kid. Nezha.

When she performed the tender scene, she cried with tears of joy, which made people feel very distressed.

The most impressive thing about the film is that in addition to the "father-daughter relationship" between the third brother and Xiaowen, also shows the third brother's involvement in the funeral industry through Xiaowen's perspective.

The reason why director Liu Jiangjiang wanted to make a movie about funerals is inseparable from his experience.

His grandfather and uncle were both coffin carpenters. When he was a child, he and his family often participated in " White Events". Gradually, he also developed his own understanding of funerals. He believed that funerals can reflect the rise and fall of a person's life. and the joys and sorrows of the family.

But in reality, many people have misunderstandings about the funeral industry.

They believe that it is unlucky to give things to dead people. People who work in this industry are very unlucky. Over time, the feng shui of the home will also become bad.

Just like "The Embalmer", after Xiao Lin changed his career from a cellist to an embalmer, he suffered criticism from the people around him. His wife returned to her parents' home, and Fa Xiaolin broke up with him directly.

But Xiaolin still insists on this job.

Until Faxiao’s mother passed away, Faxiao watched with his own eyes Xiaolin tidy up her mother so decently that she could bid farewell to this world with dignity.

At that moment, Faxiao suddenly understood Xiaolin’s choice, and he also respected the profession of an undertaker from the bottom of his heart.

In "Life Events", the third brother also encountered many people's looks and criticism.

He was brought into this industry by his father when he was a child. At first, he didn't understand why he had to do such an unlucky job. Look at the wedding people next door.

As the story develops, he gradually realizes the significance of this industry. Avoiding taboos will make it more and more mysterious. Only by facing death can we come into contact with its true meaning. Then he will realize that "there is no big deal in life except death." .

His cuckold love rival died in a car accident. After repeated pleas from his ex-girlfriend Xixi, the third brother agreed to help him recover his body.

But the love rival was beaten to pieces, and the third brother didn't know what to do, so in the end he had to invite his father, who was more experienced.

Under the guidance of his father, he finally overcame the psychological barriers and completed a difficult recovery.

I am afraid that the love rival himself did not expect that the third brother who used to look down on the funeral director would one day protect his last dignity.

When the ex-girlfriend saw the restored body, she couldn't help but shed tears.

At that moment, while Xixi mourned the deceased, she also deeply understood the meaning of the funeral industry.

Only those who have experienced it will know how much relief it is to the living when their loved ones pass away with dignity. At that moment, I will express my heartfelt thanks to the funeral workers and thank them for allowing their loved ones to pass away with dignity in their last journey. .

As "The Embalmer" said: "Death is actually a door. It does not mean the end of a life, but a door through which you enter another stage, and I am the gatekeeper. People."

Even though the movie "Life Events" still has various shortcomings, such as the plot is cliché and many plot settings are a little deliberate.

However, it can bring the closely-kept funeral subject to the big screen and use the influence of the film to let more people understand this industry and let more people start to explore the topic of "death". This is already a step forward. A rare step.

Let’s stop here today. Friends who like

, please use your little hands, to leave valuable likes and attention.

Goodbye ~
