First of all, the biggest highlight of "Wuwen Xidong" is Chen Peng's story, but it is precisely because of Chen Peng's story that the whole movie does not look so harmonious. The time span of the other three stories is not very large, but the story of Chen Peng is almost a lifetime. The betrayal of friends, the great love, the darkness of society, the director wanted to express too much in this story, which led to this story not even the theme. If Chen Peng’s story were changed to be less complicated, I would think it was a fairly satisfactory movie, but with the addition of Chen Peng, it made people feel that it was a good-looking movie.
However, I really like the summary part of the final narration of the film, the sublimation part of the whole film, and the essence of thought. If you understand the life you are going to face in advance, I wonder if you will have the courage to come. The sentence "love what you love, do what you do, no matter what you do" is very literary. Just like Wu Linglan in the movie, because everyone learns, so I learn too. The difference is that Wu Linglan's liberal arts first is his strengths. What moved me very much in the movie was what Shen Guangyao's mother said to him, hoping that he could enjoy his life, and I don't want him to think about how to live his life, even his life was gone.
However, no matter what the West East movie, many people will watch it, and some people will regard it as a great and classic movie, but most people will not understand it. why? When a person has eyes but cannot see, ears cannot hear, and his heart is blinded, truth is no longer meaningful and valuable to him, so he chooses to give up truth. Some people say that the film is not well edited, and some people say that the plot cannot be followed. The first half of the film is four unrelated short stories, but as the stories gradually deepen, characters in four different time and space and different locations have some connections, and finally settled on the theme of "Wuwenxidong" At the same time, it also celebrated Tsinghua’s Centennial Anniversary.
In fact, there is a main thread running through it, it is truth, it is the inheritance of life. The plot is not important at all. A person who pursues reality is willing to sit still and listen to the rain, not only listening but also touching. The truth itself is power, can produce life, and can not fear the passage of time. People need to be loved, unconditionally loved, to be able to hold oneself away from death in the dark and desperate time. Some people are dragged down, and she survives and lives happily; some people don't believe they are loved, she doesn't believe it, but he does love her. People need to give love, which makes a person quiet, calm, and great. It is a mystery that you can survive by giving love to others. Look at it from the perspective of love and truth, maybe you will have a little bit of gain. Live with love and truth, your life will change.
Finally, there is a small flaw, that is, the direct connection of several stories, which always feels too far-fetched. The director wanted to say that the previous story played a key role in the next story, but it did not give the audience a feeling of "it turns out to be this way". Obviously this movie was made for Tsinghua students or people who yearn for Tsinghua University. The praise to Tsinghua University is also obvious, but if you prefer historical literature, this drama is also pretty good. The final rehearsal is still a bit shocking. After reading it, two words, confused. I am confused about myself, of course, I also have about movies. I don't know how to evaluate the quality of a movie.
