In the ancient and long-standing civilized society, there is a sufficient definition of what major events in life are. Birth, old age, sickness and death, titles on the list, success, wedding night, etc. are all important moments of sadness or joy in the world. They are both unforgettable and infinite aftertaste, and their impact on life is extensive and profound. At the same time, through these major life events, people have a deeper discussion and thinking about the value and meaning of life.
film "The Big Events in Life" is like a dark horse in this bleak summer, rushing around, and its influence exceeds the imagination of many people. A small-cost movie about the joys and sorrows of small characters actually reached a box office of 1.7 billion yuan, forcing the audience to turn their attention to the core story of this film. What causes the audience to complete a life redemption in the cinema with sadness and joy. The protagonist of the story, Mo Sanmei (played by Zhu Yilong), is a funeralist who was released from prison. He fought with someone for his girlfriend and was locked up for a while. He was not optimistic about the funeral industry of his father's business and was unwilling to manage it. He even chewed gum in a serious manner when dressing the body with plastic surgery. During a funeral business, I met the rebellious little Nezha Wu Xiaowen (played by Yang En) who had never met his parents and lived with his grandmother since he was a child. At the beginning of the film, Grandma Xiaowen went to heaven in her sleep and left behind a lonely Wu Xiaowen. Out of sympathy and helplessness, Mo Sanmei and her partner Wang Jianren (played by Wang Ge) temporarily took in Wu Xiaowen, so many touching and ridiculous stories broke out during their days together. At the end of the film, Xiaowen's mother suddenly appeared. When she handed Xiaowen to her mother, Mo Sanmei burst into unbearableness and hardship.
film tells the story of the funeral industry from a unique and novel perspective. Such a subject is not dared to touch many senior or new directors. Although the funeral industry is respected and understood in China, traditional ideas and concepts still make people retreat. The rejection of bad luck is deeply rooted in the bones and cannot reverse people's different understanding of this industry. Practitioners often encounter such cold treatment in their work and life. But the directors, with their unique artistic techniques and excellent creative courage, easily and lively tell the joys and sorrows of small people in this industry, rather than creating a depressing and dull environmental atmosphere for people like the Japanese film "The Devourer".
In the video, Mo Sanmei, along with her partners Wang Jianren and Yin Baixue (played by Liu Lu), are both small fireworks people who are mixed in the market. They have no ambitions and are greedy for money. Although they have had a disgraceful history, the kindness of human nature still inspired them to take in Xiaowen together. It is by no means just a stack of RMB left by Xiaowen's uncle. But if there is no such stack of RMB, they may not let go. But the role of money, for a common man who can live in the world, human greed nature will be truly exposed. Just as Wang Jianren said, do you have a grudge against money? After Mo Sanmei was released from prison, she was essentially careless about this industry. The departure of her girlfriend and the irreconcilable contradictions between father and son had a great blow to him. Depression and despair filled his entire life. Wu Xiaowen's intrusion also opened up the other side of Mo Sanmei's life. If the faces of his ex-girlfriend and father were cold, then Wu Xiaowen's innocent smile was the warmest. The two of them went from hostility and mutual exclusion to the harmony and joy of life. The well-behaved and cute Xiaowen made Mo Sanmei gradually feel that the power of family affection was melting his cold heart and felt a little comfort. The narrative style of the video is a straightforward narrative from shallow to deep. After experiencing the life collision with Wu Xiaowen, Mo Sanmei's relationship with her father was restored and warmed up. When he faced the deceased again, the awe and devotion for life arose naturally, especially when his ex-girlfriend was begging her to sort out the body for her husband who had a car accident. Under the guidance of her father, Mo Sanmei let go of all her distractions and completed the work very seriously and smoothly, so that the deceased could leave the world with more dignity.This transformation originated from Mo Sanmei's deep understanding of the value of life and an epiphany of the meaning of life. Major events in life are nothing more than life and death, but the energy generated by melted family affection has a deeper meaning than life and death. In the film, the old man spent a huge amount of money to hold a funeral for himself, just to not be afraid of life and death, and to find lost family affection. The originally happy family, because the demolition funds caused the family affection to break down, the old man wanted to find the warmth of the past through his funeral and leave with decent.
There is a Chinese saying: "Human hearts are all flesh." That's right, you can be rational and calm in the face of life and death, because this is the law of nature. But when the heart is moved and infected by warmth, the natural expression of human nature is the touch of the soul. One rainy night, Mo Sanmei took Xiaowen to her mother while she was sleeping. When Xiaowen woke up and shouted "Dad" heart-wrenchingly through the car window, this lazy man instantly burst into tears, chasing the far away car crazily. In the whole film, this scene destroyed the tear glands of many people. Everyone thought that Xiaowen was missing, at the door of "Going to Heaven", Xiaowen suddenly appeared and cried to recite her home address in front of Mo Sanmei, in order to prove that this is her hard-to-leave home. Mo Sanmei hugged Xiaowen tightly in her arms, and tears flowed like a spring again.
In the vast world, Mo Sanmei, Wang Jianren, Yin Baixue, and Wu Xiaowen are like a few particles of dust, so small and ordinary, and rarely noticed in the torrent of society that are shoulder to shoulder, but it is these dust that constitute a mainstream society with flesh and blood, love, and rich fireworks on earth. That kind of ordinary life with tears in a smile is the true meaning of life and the beautiful life we pursue and yearn for.
