can be the opposite of the honor it receives, it is the low score on Douban. 40,000 people have seen it, most of which only scored three stars, and finally scored at 5.7 points.
You should know that in the movie, Huang Xuan truly interpreted what "human high-quality acting skills" meant, and the audience exclaimed that I felt sorry for me!
In order to integrate into the role, Huang Xuan strictly understood Yang Hua's real conditions from accommodation to catering. The hotel room required backlighting and the display was as simple as possible.
During the filming process, he slapped himself dozens of times, making the director on the scene cry. Especially the confrontation between him and his wife is real and powerful, explaining the person he loves the most hurts the most.
Such a real and profound movie, but has a bad reputation, must be a reason. What
has to say should be that its theme is too heavy, and this love and hate are too strong, which is unbearable for ordinary people.
(1) The theme of the film is suppressed to the point of being suffocating
movie changes the color of the glorious character and creates a cowardly and timid male protagonist.
The male and female protagonists have always maintained kindness and perfect love.
They are patient with each other, but they hurt each other.
When conflict breaks out, they can accurately poke each other's weaknesses. After being cheated and beaten up by
, swallowing anger is also the norm for the male protagonist, but this is a true portrayal of real life.
The halo of the male and female protagonists has disappeared without a trace, and can only be immersed in it when watching the movie.
The out-of-control of this family stems from the endless desires that humans have.
In order to make more money, to be able to raise your head in front of your father-in-law and mother-in-law, to buy a bigger house and a better car...
The whole film revolves around the couple.
The quarrel is also concentrated between the two.
Realistic quarrels have also become the hot spot of film promotion, and caused a strong response after the broadcast.
The depressing atmosphere runs through the whole time, making people feel that they can’t cry, and their hearts are always heavy.
The movie begins with arid desert. Several people chisel the riverbed to catch fish. The fish with tenacious vitality cannot escape the bad luck. It implies that Yang Hua, who has a beautiful vision for life, finally goes to a desperate situation in every step of disappointment and painful struggle.
The whole movie makes people cry several times. Yang Hua's misfortune and incompetence are sad, and the regret for the couple who are in love are getting farther and farther away, and even more sympathy for the protagonist's tragic ending. Miao Wei, who was still in the sling in
, seemed to suggest the ending, and also showed a numbness and disappointment with the actual situation.
(2) What is the last straw that crushes adults?
Yang Hua (played by Huang Xuan) and his wife Miao Wei (played by Yang Zishan) admire each other and get married in the background of huge family backgrounds. The lives of the two are calm.
However, the pressure from his wife and parents has been hanging on the head of this family.
Yang Hua quit his originally stable job and started doing business. As a result, his career was not going well. Coupled with the huge identity pressure, he began to lose patience, and the boat of life began to sway.
He can be calm and can make his wife ugly and funny, but when it comes to his wife's parents, he will obviously become irritable and even indifferent.
's long-term depression and patience eventually became a powerful thrust for him to enter a desperate situation.
The last straw that defeated adults, what exactly is it?
Business failed one after another, the wedding house was mortgaged to usury, and was deceived by partners. Yang Hua, who was in trouble, began to become poor and deserted. In the movie
, he collapsed and wailed countless times in the car, hid himself in the dinosaur zoo model and lay in the desert at night.
He seems to want to separate himself from the world and escape all the unhappiness.
Until he discovered that his wife was confessed in love by a mysterious man, and the despair that had accumulated for a long time surged out instantly, quarreling, beating, and insulting, the two formerly loving people were leaving step by step.
When the creditor chased him to his hometown and threatened Yang Hua, he asked his partner for advance payment, but unexpectedly he was perfunctory. Yang Hua, who failed to negotiate several times, was severely hurt by several bills thrown out.
When Yang Hua, who was beaten up by a group, appeared in the desert again, it brought hot light and miserable wail.
He set fire to the scammer's new project and reported his illegal behavior.
He gave up asking for money and gave up his life.
Yang Hua went crazy, to the extreme.
Nine out of ten life is not satisfactory, but if every thing goes wrong, I am afraid no one can successfully recover a person from the edge.
Family, love and friendship, career and family, etc., all aspects that maintain a person's emotional support. Any problem with any link will have a destructive effect, not to mention, at the same time, everything.
(3) Human beings are like ants, and life is not as good as death
Everyone is trying hard to live.
The old man and the old man in remote mountainous areas have money to take on TV because he heard that he has money to perform music and yoga.
A group of people suddenly appeared in the desolate desert, playing without any skills, and sadness enveloped everything.
When a group of rural old ladies over 80 are struggling and far-fetched in the desert, the picture is once strange and terrifying.
This is a strong desire for life and to live.
This is true for Yang Hua, and even more so for his wife Miao Wei.
goes against her parents' wishes and is determined to marry the poor Yang Hua. While running a yoga studio with a bleak business, she goes out to earn extra money to subsidize her family.
swallowed the grievances of life and withstood the complaints and doubts from her parents. She tried hard to love Yang Hua and maintain her home.
Until she was pregnant, but Yang Hua questioned her about cheating, the conflict between the couple broke out, and the boat of life could no longer stand any test.
Human nature is good and evil in a moment.
When the female college student who owed a huge loan shark and could not repay him, kissed him wildly, Yang Hua instinctively resisted.
But out of his last bit of loyalty to his wife, he later refused.
, and business failed one after another. Facing his father-in-law and mother-in-law who was as harsh as before, Yang Hua instantly lost his patience.
He scattered all his anger on his wife Miao Wei, ignoring his wife's family and supporting himself in a difficult situation.
The friendship between brothers was also defeated by reality. When the business improved, the partners denied the good brother Yang Hua devoted all his support and efforts. In the face of money and interests, people lost their human nature.
eventually made Yang Hua crazy and ignited a fire, turning the newly built project into ashes.
Maybe Yang Hua is already desperate.
However, at the scene where the fire was soaring, the old men in charge of the performance were still calm and calm, even more enjoyable than playing in this tragedy.
Insensitive indifference and unrelated attitude are important fuses for similar tragedies.
Wife Miao Wei is pregnant and still keeps in touch with college classmates who are not close to each other. It is not known whether life and reality have led to her infidelity or misunderstanding.
When he heard the mysterious man confessing to his wife, Yang Hua had no choice, and firmly chose his wife, without giving her any chance to explain, and insisted on his wife's cheating and infidelity;
When he learned that his wife was pregnant, he violently asked the child who the father was. This series of behaviors all meant that he had completely lost control.
After a fierce quarrel with his wife, he ordered his pregnant wife to get out of the car, and eventually drove alone in the sparsely populated valley, forcing his wife off the cliff on the winding mountain road.
There is no doubt that the murder of his wife was not his long-planned plan, but it may be his despair of business difficulties, his anger of suspicion of his wife's cheating, and his rage of incompetence...
But his ugly behavior of crime has become an indisputable fact.
With the wailing of his wife falling from the cliff, the stinging pain also woke Yang Hua in her dream.
He got out of the car and looked blankly at the bottomless canyon.
calmly took out his mobile phone to call the police and surrendered himself.
The moment he was taken away by the police, he felt relieved and relaxed. He personally put an end to his tragic life without any clues.
Conclusion
Watch the full movie, I seemed to be able to feel the pressure in Yang Hua's heart and felt very heavy.
This may be the main reason why the film is of good quality and has won numerous awards, but Douban is only 5.7 points, and the box office is not good.
movies come from life and also act on life.
When we don't stick to the actual desires, all the bets that are pressing on it can easily crush a person.
Reason and emotion, once you lose your mind, everything may be annihilated.
I hope that all those who are passionate about life can control their desires, dominate their lives, and be the masters of emotions.
