Within 48 hours, I went to the theater twice, the first time was accidental, the second time was inevitable. The movie "Lonely Flavor" tells the story of women's minds and the journey from holding hands to letting go. It gathers "national grandmothers" Chen Shufang, Xie Yingxuan, Xu Ruoxuan, Sun Kefang, Ding Ning and other powerful actors to perform on the same stage; from the title into the play, the realization of "one-off blindness" The purpose of "and women's small but great tenacity.
Before watching the movie, I imagined "Lonely Flavor" as the feeling of loneliness, until the music is played:
"Today, you hold Ruan’s hand, you love Ruan’s heart, and I know the shadow. Ruan is not someone else’s. Don’t worry about sad words, I will always be yours, your baby.” Only then did
feel the obsession and thickness of sticking to one’s own opinions, and work hard for the loved one to hold on to the affection. The director hides the "substantial feeling of loneliness" in the blank space of the film. Some words are not exhausted and cannot be explained. It is the most delicate and gentle part of the whole film.

blood relationship, which will tie a woman's heart
. It should have been a happy birthday, but the scene suddenly switched to the cold hall, and all the emotional pulling started from here. Separated from her husband Chen Bochang for many years, Xiuying (Chen Shufang/Yu Ziyu) raised her three daughters by herself during the hollowed-out time, and buried an unforgettable sin in her heart. As the years stack up, she put away her emotions, tried her best to defend her dignity, and laid it out on the divorce agreement that was more than 20 years old, leaving a blank signature column.
"Every home has knots that cannot be untied." Xiuying's three daughters are the eldest sisters (Xie Yingxuan) who are dancers with free and unruly personality, but they have been entangled in disease all their lives; the second sister (Xu Ruoxuan) inherits The excellent status of her family of doctors, and her husband, who is also a doctor, have a daughter, Xiao Cheng (played by Chen Yanfei). She is cute and straightforward, and the main line of the movie extends from her vision.
, the younger sister Jiajia, played by actor Sun Kefang, takes over her mother’s catering business. She has the closest relationship with Xiuying, but she is the one who knows the least in the family. She thinks that the mother who has the image of a "strong woman" is inseparable from her own existence. Knot of heart.
The above-mentioned role positioning, the new director Xu Chengjie compiled a work based on personal experience, deeply introspecting the female introverted love and resilience in the face of emotions, through the point of view revealed step by step, the seemingly weak and broken family bloodline is actually going On a bright and warm road to perfection.
"I believe that every girl, regardless of age, can definitely find a role she can project in this film" ── Xie Yingxuan
"Put her own experience into a character in the play, and then walk out with self-identification Theater." The bad ailments of modern people, changing into tears and snot, it also confirms what Ah Qing (played by Xie Yingxuan) said in the play: "People are really strange, knowing that they are harmful to them, they will keep going. Do it." Every time the eldest sister Aqing appears on the stage, the screen in front of her will automatically put on a low-saturated gray filter, chasing the waves and walking on the breakwater. She has been suffering from cancer for many years and was shackled by her native family, and she can see through her life. He knows how to lighten the weight of others in his own heart, and he does not want to leave deep emotions to toss each other. Such a free and easy character was crowned by the Lin family as "wandering with his father."
The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all flesh. How do you clarify your position? The blood of both parents flows through the child’s body and birth. The grievances accumulated by the previous generation are pressed on the shoulders of the next generation for no reason. Most people learn to tolerate like Ah Qing. It is acquiescing to the unbearableness of one party, but great forgiveness and relief, and at the same time grateful for the care and promotion of the other party for many years. Pure filial piety does not want to be seen by the world, but only willing people to forgive.
Is destiny good fortune?
There is a scene where Xiuying yells "Miss Cai." The three words are mixed with thousands of emotional entanglements. The air is filled with complaints and hatred, and even a hint of gratitude is revealed, which is the same as a woman who loves her heart. You can feel it personally even through the screen.
The lens is slowly zoomed out, the soundtrack is pulled away, and the mouth is frozenTo whom should Bian's words be calm and unwilling. Xiuying's "stubbornness" mirrors Miss Tsai's "stillness". There is a kind of balance in the dark. Sometimes fate is playing tricks, but it is not malicious. Just like the appearance of Miss Cai in the movie, she has supported Chen Bochang for the rest of her life. She has no name and no regrets.
In their native family, each person has created different personalities, composes all kinds of love in life, and brews the unique atmosphere of "Lonely Flavor". Towards the end, the picture turns to the shining brilliance of a traditional temple, with a poetic and dreamlike incense and smoke, Xiuying and Ms. Cai shuttled between them, their hands clasped together and worshipped, with tears in the corners of the eyes. Laughing on the lips is the freedom of "letting go".
In front of and behind the scenes, Zhang Junning, who pays attention to fate,
, appeared in a "special capacity", because the producer Xu Ruoxuan made a phone call, he promised a cameo without saying anything. She plays the third daughter "Amei" who has been succeeded by others, who came to the mourning hall to give incense while pregnant, just to see Xiuying. The mother-daughter love fastened the red circle around the waist. The language of the camera was just a few minutes. Struck the tears of all the audience, it turns out that all the joys and sorrows are because of love.
The ending song "Others'" is sung by Xu Ruoxuan, accompanied by the farewell style at the end of the plot, and also sung to his father who is already in heaven in the real world. With a life story similar to that of "The Lonely Flavor", Xu Ruoxuan was deeply moved after reading the script. She ignited a sense of mission and decided to complete this sincere work together, learning to let go and grow with the characters in the film with the thought of her father. .
The feedback given by "The Lonely Flavor" is more than expected. It is only 2 hours in length, but it can project the portrait of my life in the past 20 years, which is particularly touching. I think maybe it's my relationship as a woman, who understands the insufficiency of being unable to speak, and also understands their mood and choices.
breaks the presentation of family popular dramas. The movie "Lonely Flavor" is unconventional, and has a beginning and an end to tell a story well, touching the deepest heart of you and me in the most gentle way.
