1990, An Li had been a family husband at home for 6 years.
In his own words, there are only more than 40 US dollars left in his pocket, and life has reached the end of his life.
It was also that year. Ang Lee took a fancy to a high bonus in a screenwriter competition. In order to make money, he wrote the script " Promoter ".
Who would have thought that that year, "Pushing Hand" was born, and the 37-year-old new director Ang Lee also became a hit. Not only did he win 8 Golden Horse Awards with just one move, but he also allowed the male lead of this movie to successfully win the Best Actor Trophy.
also started with "Pushing Hands", Ang Lee released his father's trilogy, including the later "Wedding Banquet", "Food and Men" and so on.
And Ang Lee also started with "Pushing Hand"!
31 years later, Qingqing went to watch the movie "Pushing Hand" again and finally understood why director Ang Lee was able to become a god in one battle!
1, the world's fireworks!
The most different thing about the movie "Pushing Hand" is that there is no grand narrative in this movie, only human fireworks, and only family matters.
And the story of "Pushing Hand" begins with an old Chinese father coming to the United States to live.
A native Chinese old man, Mr. Zhu, originally wanted to go to the United States to enjoy a good life with his son.
But this day doesn't seem to be happy.
is not language-friendly and the house is small. The most important thing is that the eating habits are still different.
One of the shots is: When we arrived at the place of eating, Mr. Zhu's American daughter-in-law Martha ate bread, and cream cake was solved.
But Mr. Zhu wants to eat, eat fish, and eat eggs.
And the American daughter-in-law can't cook for this Chinese father-in-law.
So Mr. Zhu could only serve a full bowl by himself and heat it in the microwave.
Finally, Mr. Zhu also caused an explosion because he added metal to the microwave, which made the American daughter-in-law angry.
It can be said that just this shot shows that Mr. Zhu doesn’t seem to be happy.
The conflict between the Chinese father-in-law and the American daughter-in-law's life is just the beginning.
The real contradiction lies with Mr. Zhu and his own son.
The son Zhu Xiaosheng, who has been integrated into American culture, was originally standing on the side with his father.
But as the days grow, especially because of the arrival of my father, the days of the family are disrupted.
This son finally changed his mind and decided to drive his father out.
And he was embarrassed to break up with his father, and the idea that came to his mind was to match his father and Mrs. Chen together.
This not only allows the father to leave this family naturally, but also maintains the decentness between father and son.
After learning about his son's idea, Mr. Zhu left a letter and chose to run away from home!
It can be said that only reading the story of "The Promoter", you will find that Ang Lee's masterpiece does not have any grand narrative, it talks about family matters and things in the family.
If you have to add some height to this movie, it may be that it brings conflicts between Chinese and Western cultures.
But after all, this story in "Pushing Hand" tells the contradiction between the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law!
It’s such a simple subject. Why can it become a classic as soon as it is released? It may be related to the “emotional expression” revealed by director Ang Lee in this movie!
2. All Ang Lee’s movies have one characteristic, that is, “tolerance”!
Ang Lee's movie has one thing in common, that is, it talks about contradictions, but it does not talk about major contradictions. They all look at the subtle and start from the subtle.
How did director Ang Lee resolve the contradiction raised in the movie in the end? Director Ang Lee has a characteristic that is that he is very "tolerant" in his stay.
For example, this is the case with "Pushing Hand".
The reason why Mr. Zhu ran away from home was, except that Mrs. Chen told him that his son was preparing to kick him out of the house.
Another most important reason is that Mr. Zhu learned to understand his daughter-in-law.
For example, there is a detail that is, the daughter-in-law stomach disease went home after being hospitalized, and Mr. Zhu intended to ease the relationship with his daughter-in-law.
He even brought a cup of hot tea to his daughter-in-law.
But from the hot tea to the cold, the daughter-in-law never took a sip, which illustrates the problem.
But Mr. Zhu didn't blame his son and daughter-in-law, especially after he ran away from home and was even arrested by the police in the police station.
He advised his son to go home. When he returned to the big house, Mr. Zhu made a request: "Let's rent a house for him alone!"
In fact, from these details, Mr. Zhu's heart could be seen. He understood that his appearance broke the life of his son's family.
In particular, Mrs. Chen came to find him and told him: "I moved out too!"
Mr. Zhu told Mrs. Chen: "When you need to understand the children!"
This sentence makes people even more defensive.
Many film critics say that in the end, Mr. Zhu moved out and lived alone, because he accepted American culture, but in Qingqing's view, Mr. Zhu moved out in the end, and still adhered to the traditional Chinese culture.
That means that children can ignore the mercy and not remember the goodness of their parents, but parents will always love their children without reservation and will always think about their children without reservation.
So the tolerance of Ang Lee's film and the understanding of Chinese parents behind it really exudes a philosophical flavor. What do you think?
3, the emotional scene is also quite delicate!
There is another line in the "Pushing Hand", which also makes me particularly admire.
That is the emotional line between Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Chen.
Two elderly people who are also in foreign lands, two equally lonely elderly people meet, the story becomes particularly interesting.
Especially when Professor Zhu was a student, he deliberately pushed down the student to attract Mrs. Chen's attention.
is simply a plot that only appears in idol dramas.
And behind Mr. Zhu was guarding the phone, waiting for Mrs. Chen to call, and the delicateness that only in idol dramas can be found.
It can be said that no son came up with bad ideas later, so Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen might have been together for a long time.
And Ang Lee actually left a line of thought-provoking for Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen.
That is, after Mr. Zhu moved out, Mrs. Chen came over again.
And when Mrs. Chen was standing at the door and didn't know where to go next, Mr. Zhu suddenly chased after her, otherwise I would go to your place in the afternoon?
It can be said that Ang Lee really expressed his subtle, passionate, cute, and other different emotions in portraying the emotional line between Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen.
This is the master’s foundation, this is the master’s strength.
No wonder Ang Lee won the Golden Horse Award when he made a movie for the first time, because he really understands movies too much and the audience's needs too much.
I wonder if anyone has seen Ang Lee's classic work. Everyone is welcome to leave a message to discuss with me!
