The box office of more than one billion yuan is welcomed with a smile. Now the dust is gradually dissipating, and it is time to take a closer look at the movie text.
First of all, the performances of the two protagonists are almost impeccable.
The authentic farmer Wu Renlin of Zhangye, Gansu, played the role of Wu Renlin, and his interpretation of the roles set by the director is quite well-known, which is really eye-catching. He seems to have some talent for self-learning in his performance.
actually called for some viewers that Wu Renlin should book this year's best actor - the author is more willing to regard this appeal as a expression of people's dissatisfaction with young and fresh meat and vases who perform at sky-high pay.
Haiqing 's selfless "disfigured" entry into the role has really reached the peak of her acting career in one fell swoop, and she can be booked for a close post.
Especially her performance of taking wedding photos with Wu Renlin sitting in front of the red set, it is definitely one of the most classic scenes of Chinese movies in 2022.
The god-level performance of the two is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of "Insidious Dust Smoke", which has supported at least 80 million box office.
Viewers also talk about the "reality" of the movie. Director Li Ruijun went directly to Huaqiangzi Village, Zhangye, Gansu to take a live shot. The characters were all local villagers, and they spoke in Zhangye dialect that most audiences could not understand, which was indeed down-to-earth.
The photographer's lens language full of petty bourgeois literary charm, coupled with post-production, carefully creates four-season style painting frames with poetic beauty in the rural areas of the northwest. The next frame is a screensaver.
Many scenes are obviously deliberately done by photography and artists, paying tribute to the artistic conception of 19th-century European landscape oil paintings.
For example, Cao Guiying bent over and picked up wheat ears, which is like the live version of the oil painting " Gliderer " by French Barbizon painter Miller .
Miller's oil painting "The Gliderer"
or above, and has a box office of at least 40 million. The remaining fraction of
is considered a discount for the two functions of screenwriter and director.
2: The third-rate screenwriter and director
is driven by the event, and the author brushed "Invisible Dust and Smoke" in one breath.
never thought, but saw through the trick and found that this movie that stirred the film and television industry and wanted to make the box office of art films clear, was a frightening paper tiger.
, from character setting, plot construction, and then to theme connotation, analyze and expose one by one, revealing the third-rate quality.
1. The appearance of the male and female protagonists violates the logic of reality
The two protagonists made their debut for the first time and were matched by their respective brothers and sisters-in-law. The horse was chewing steamed buns with iron wood. Cao Guiying was instructed by his sister-in-law to pee, which was matched with local dialect. The sound of donkeys, the literary style that is reflected to the extreme, suddenly knocked down the fun of the petty bourgeoisie.
Little did they know that the characters of the two protagonists are seriously deviating from the real reality.
Cao Guiying's character: he was abused, beaten and scolded by his brother and sister-in-law since childhood, and fell into the root of the disease, had incontinence, had left hand trembling, left leg lame, arched back, and had no fertility;
Horse's character: the eldest brother and second brother were dead , living with the third brother's house, living in the idle house, being honest and bachelor, letting his brother and sister-in-law support him.
The author is going to be serious: Cao Guiying and Ma Youtie and his brother and sister-in-law are both sisters and brothers of the same father and mother, and are not outsiders without blood relationships. Why are they beaten and scolded and disliked by their brother and sister-in-law, and why are they at home and family? Are people who raise pigs and cattle? After the movie was popular, the filming site of Huaqiangzi Village, Zhangye, Gansu, was the filming site. It was the place where director Li Ruijun lived since she was a child to the age of 17. Logically speaking, Li Ruijun would not have fallen into his character design from the beginning because of his personal life.
But judging from the finished film, Li Ruijun either did not immerse herself in rural life, or she had a false life in her creation.
The author also lived in the countryside before going to college, and he had been living in the countryside for 2 years longer than Li Ruijun, and was more familiar with rural life and rural people.
The author's hometown is in the rural area of Ezhou, Hubei. There are also villagers similar to Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying in this village. Moreover, among the author's relatives, there is a real Guiying.
In reality, Ma Tie and Cao Guiying have a common fundamental premise, that is, there is congenital or acquired mental retardation, mental illness or other disabilities. They are mentally and mentally abnormal, unable to get along with people normally, unable to survive and work independently, unable to survive and work independently. , or you can only do some rough and stupid work under the command of others, and you can only stay in the family for a long time.
Hubei dialect calls this type of person Hazi (fool). Only fools will be disliked by their relatives.
Specifically for Cao Guiying, unless she had abnormal intelligence when she was a child, why did she be abused, beaten and scolded by her brother and sister-in-law and incontinence, and she also had disability and lost her fertility. She could not effectively shelter from the wind and rain in the backyard alone. In the shed, be with pigs and cows? Or, she had caused urination and disability due to some disease, which led to the abuse of her brother and sister-in-law. A female relative of the author of
had a high fever once when she was a child, but she had not yet receded for several days. She did not receive timely treatment at that time, causing damage to her brain and her intelligence remained at the age of two or three years old. She didn't know how to get up at night and went to the toilet. Like a baby, he urinates on the bed, and has wet his pants and mattresses for many years, and needs to be dried every day. In rainy and winter, there are often no dry clothes and quilts to be replaced at home, so he is disliked and even beaten by his family.
But even so, after all, blood is thicker than water, and my family has built a special bed for her and never abandoned her in the cowshed and pigpen outside the house.
Specifically, Ma Youtiedi works in the donkey shed as soon as he appears, and takes good care of Donkey. If he is not a fool, he will not survive alone. Such a hard-working labor force, his third brother and his family will make no sense. If he treats him poorly, he will never be bullied by the whole village.
The third brother's family's financial conditions should be of medium level. If you really think that the fourth brother is a burden, why don't you share or lend the idle empty houses to the fourth brother earlier to let the fourth brother be self-sufficient?
can only indicate that horses have iron but do not have the ability to be self-sufficient and need to be parasitized in the homes of relatives with normal intelligence.
But obviously, the two intellectually ineffective people cannot realize Li Ruijun's intention to construct a tragic story.
So, Li Ruijun did not hesitate to violate the logic of reality and directed the intelligence of Ma Youti and Cao Guiying at the level of a normal person, but the subsequent plot also involved the path of miserable fate of an abnormal person.
2. Character design and plot are tearing each other, and there are many flaws
At the beginning, they first played the card of humble little character who was incontinent, honest and abusive by brother and sister-in-law, and bullied by the whole village. They tightly seized the sentimental hearts of the petty bourgeoisie, want to come. It is the good intention of the director.
Many senior movie fans who have taken a sneak peek preview on Erchuang's short video or self-media, and this movie costs cigarettes and tears.
Many young bourgeoisie who are famous for watching have prepared cigarettes, tissues, and possibly beer.
Li Ruijun threw away the character frame cage and began to be wild:
Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying were driven out of the idle house and looked at each other desperately; Ma Youtie went to the river to pick up water, and carefully and kindly brought it out. When the idle house he lived in was about to be pushed down, he was sad and returned to drive away the swallows on the beam. He cooperated with mud, poured adobe, and lifted ash to build a wall, and two people built it. A new house with a yard; farming in all seasons, raising chickens and donkeys...
interprets a classical love story that is in harmony with each other but not romantic.
If, when the old lady in the village dislikes her wife's dirty, Ma Youtie takes Cao Guiying to the donkey cart in person, it can be regarded as a man's basic instinct to protect his wife and has little to do with his intelligence, then he holds it The wheat kernels print a delicate and beautiful flower on Guiying's hand. Can such romance be done by those with low intelligence?
After working in the wheat field, the two went home, Ma Youtie mentioned to his wife what a madman liked to say in the village, "What can wheat say to the sickle? How can wheat peck at it? How can wheat be pecked at it? What to say; what to say about milling, what can wheat say; just treat it as a seed, what can wheat say. "
When the two collaborated to sow seeds in the ground, the horse had iron suddenly Ran said, "Look, do you think you plant your footprints in the ground? In a few days, autumn vegetables did not come out, and a lot of footprints grew?"
Guiying said, "I don't want to grow it." Ah, if your feet are on the ground, you can't go anywhere." How do you think of
? This is all philosophical. Not only are they not stupid, but they have a high IQ, and they can even be called philosophers of the field!
The author has written some novels, but in fact he understands the dilemma that Li Ruijun encountered:
If you follow the hypothetical character, it is impossible to interpret the tear-jerking story of staying together for your family;
If you want to build a literary and moving work, you will not be able to interpret the tear-jerking story of staying together for your family;
If you want to build a literary and moving work , you have to tear down the previous human assumptions.
Li Ruijun's way of breaking through is to use the humblest and cheapest character as a gimmick, and then write a tragic story based on the mind of a normal person.
is too obsessed with the audience's IQ?
