chaoshan people have a lot of intimacy with the strong local culture in Taiwanese movie . There are reasons why the two languages belong to the Fujian language family and the similar local cultures. I believe everyone has seen some of the following Taiwanese movies.
campus theme "The Girl We Chased Together", love theme "Cape Seven", gang theme "官网来", war theme "Seedek Bale ", and family theme theme "一一" ·······
If there is any pattern in Taiwan, it may be seen in the reality of the details, with a very strong realistic narrative style. Taiwanese movies have found a solid foothold in human feelings and culture. When watching Taiwanese movies, movies that talk about history are very textured, and movies that talk about reality are easy to make people feel substituted .
Today I will introduce to you a Taiwanese movie "The Formation" with a special theme. This is a movie adapted from real people and stories. "The Formation" tells the story of a young man leading a folk team from decline to success. Its greatest narrative achievement is: sublimating a story of revenge from a small realm into a story of promoting traditional culture from a large realm.
With the help of this movie, we can discuss some issues of coexistence between the two places, mainly the issue of how local culture should be innovated and promoted.
This movie is a three-line model of "youth inspiration + family ethics + traditional culture". Youth inspiration talks about the realization of dreams, family ethics talks about the conflict between father and son, and traditional culture talks about how to add elements suitable for the development of the times to traditional culture.
The so-called formation is one of the indispensable folk folk arts for the festive celebrations of folk temple fairs in Taiwan. To put it simply, it is similar to our Chaoshan Ying Master.
in the first 20 minutes of the movie, explaining the overall background of the story.
The father of the protagonist Ada is the leader of the Jiutian Group of Taichung, and the Jiutian Group can only be regarded as a declining formation. Ada's junior brother Wu Zheng and his son Qi Axian have another regiment, the Zhentian regiment, which is the most famous formation group in the local area. The Zhentian Group inherited the sect, and the Jiutian Group established its own sect. The two brothers have always been in disagreement and have many conflicts.
video first illustrates the difficulty of the Jiutian Group's survival, and the contradictions accumulated over the years with the Zhentian Group are also extremely deep. This is an external contradiction in this film.
When Atai was a child, he was dissatisfied with his father's words, so he used ink to paint the prince's face with a big face. This incident completely angered his father Ada, who believed that this was a blasphemy to the gods.
He left home to Taiwan to learn music when he was young, and he never called his father again. Disagreements between father and son also filled the entire film.
Later, Atai dropped out of the Conservatory of Music and returned home, preparing to save money to go to the United States, but by chance he was insulted by his uncle and his son, and finally got involved in the trap of his uncle. The Jiutian Group and the Zhentian Group will compete in six months to decide the outcome. In the film, Ada and Atai were provoked and insulted by their uncles and sons many times, which also laid a fierce revenge for the whole film.
, who has been repelling the formation since childhood, then he took the initiative to request to become the new leader of the Jiutian Group. But his training method made everyone confused. He wanted to integrate his musical expertise into the array and pop music into the array drum beats. At this time, internal contradictions have gradually emerged.
On the one hand, Ada believes that his son's approach is too far from the traditional formation, and he changed the drum beats to the point where he could not jump to the formation at all. Everything is so out of place. In short, this persistent and unwilling father is dissatisfied with his son's approach from the bottom of his heart.
On the other hand, except Ali, who has autism, everyone in the group expressed confusion and objection to Atai's actions.
First of all, I kept playing the drum, and it was not the traditional array drum. Everyone didn’t understand what it meant to play like this. I practiced day and night, but in the end I was just scarred.
At this time, the Ghost Dog, a member of the League, proposed to give up and ran to his brother A Gui, who is the boss of the underworld. In the end, the ghost dog was brought back to the Jiutian Group by Agui, hoping that Atai would take the ghost dog in again.
Then, he saw by chance the rehearsal of a modern percussion band, and his rhythm and manner inspired him a lot.
And a group of children's outings made him realize that only by going out can he gain a broader vision, so he led the art troupe to carry a round-the-island tour with a drum on his back. To be honest, Atai didn't know what would happen tomorrow at this time. He just felt that there would always be some new opportunities when going out for a walk.
In this way, the contradiction comes again. Everyone asked Ah Tai: "You asked us to run around Taiwan all day long and run around for a while?"
It is precisely because of this incident that it was the turn of the team member Ashin and Ashin quarrel with Atai. This time, Atai also smashed Ashin a beer bottle, and the internal conflicts have intensified to a point where it is almost impossible to mediate.
But the turning point of all this comes from Ali's inexperience. He, who is suffering from autism, broke the previous order when he worshiped the temple fair, led the members to the front, and sounded the drum beats they had trained for a long time. His majestic momentum shocked everyone. At this time, everyone finally saw that Atai's training was fruitful and recognized his position as the leader.
This is the first opportunity for the story to change. The recognition and applause gained by the performance this time was something that the Jiutian Group had never received before.
At this time, for the first time, everyone really united and headed towards a goal together. At this time, the internal conflicts of the Jiutian Group had been lifted.
, and everyone has also begun to become more popular, and they are discussing how to integrate various fashion elements such as street dance into the traditional formation.
They put on the Prince's costume, continued to travel around the island, and ran on the highway in Taiwan. This behavior has also attracted the attention of the TV station.
This is the second opportunity for the story to develop. The TV station's interview suddenly pushed the story of the Jiutian Group to the whole of Taiwan, and also brought the entire front-end culture into people's horizons, and was invited to participate in the opening performance of the Taichung International Cultural Festival.
. Regarding the game between Jiutian and Zhentian, according to the routine of normal inspirational films, Atai will lead his team to overwhelm his uncle in the game and achieve inspirational success.
However, this film does not have it. The original revenge competition between the Jiutian Group and the Zhentian Group was cancelled. The enemy and us formed an alliance and innovated the traditional front-line culture from the perspective of the younger generation. This is the greatness of "The Formation". It transforms the dramatic conflict in time, turning the contradiction between the two Formation teams into a contradiction between inheritance and innovation in traditional culture. The sublimation of its theme makes a film that reflects folk customs more profound.
At this time, the external conflicts of Jiutiantuan have also been lifted.
, but the last contradiction still exists. When Atai and Axian were united, the two young people worked together to completely combine tradition and innovation. Atai's father and Axian's father also united in an attempt to resist the reforms of their younger generations. They believe that the traditional formation has been changed beyond recognition, Ada believes that this is a blasphemy against the gods, and Wu Zheng believes that this is unfilial. This contradiction, in the shallow sense, is the contradiction between the father and the son, and is the resistance of the two young people to the father's authority; in the deep sense, is the contradiction between traditional culture and creative innovation, and is the resistance of the two young people to the authority of traditional culture.
In the face of new things, the obstacles to old things are always fierce. Even if the sons repeatedly invite them, the two brothers are unwilling to watch their sons' performances.
And at this critical moment, a key figure appeared, and this figure was Atai's master, Ada and Wu Zheng's master. An open-minded old man with white beard cursed his two apprentices for being self-confidant.The old man's pursuit of two middle-aged apprentices has exaggerated the atmosphere of the movie and solved the conflict in a comedy way.
So what kind of performance did Atai, Axian and other members transform the traditional formation into? I won't spoil it here, the video gives a very ignited clip.
Director Feng Kai also thinks from multiple angles, so that it presents not only a process of street art and culture creation, but also reflects the common oppositional relationship between parents and children in real life, as well as disputes and struggles in the living environment, and the integration and friction between tradition and innovation, etc.
OK. People with dreams can watch this movie. Sometimes, persistence is just to wait for an opportunity. When an opportunity comes, there will be another opportunity. Isn’t the Nine Heavens Group coming here like this?
People who have conflicts with their parents can also watch this movie. If you don’t want to follow your parents’ requirements, you must have the ability to come up with results and put them on the table. Sometimes we want to prove that our parents’ decisions are wrong, but that we have a better choice than our parents. At the end of the movie, the dialogue between Atai and his son was so warm, and the father-son confrontation for more than 20 years was finally resolved through persistence.
And the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture are actually also a question that our generation of Chaoshan people should think about. All Chaoshan cultural expressions are in a weakening or even fault stage. Will the Taiwanese spirit of innovation bring us some thoughts? Culture is not nothingness. Returning to life, it has practical significance and can bring about its actual value. Just as in the prototype of this film, the real Jiutian members are actually a group of problematic teenagers that are not popular among society. This is actually mentioned in the film, but they have all been changed and reborn in the Jiutian Group. All of this is brought about by traditional culture after gaining new vitality.
left an open question at the end, please discuss: Taiwanese people move traditional "fronts" to the new world through the form of movies and music. So what traditional cultures can be innovated and promoted in Chaoshan? What do you think?
I hope this movie will give you a happy weekend and a rewarding weekend.
