"Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" not only exhausted the coldness, pain, and helplessness of a fateful beauty, but also gave mercy to the disadvantaged and laid-off groups, which in turn made people ponder the cause of social illness. The
film is full of characters, ups and downs in the plot, simple lines, returning to the basics, taking it from life, being close to life, watching what is touched, and moving with emotion.
"A Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" relies on the textual basis of the novel, coupled with the wonderful audiovisual language, constitutes a superior work in a Chinese film. The whole story can be briefly summarized as divorce, betrayal, abandonment, and compromise. The whole film of
completes the sublimation of the whole theme through a tragic narrative structure, which shows not only the tragedy of a strong woman, but also the problems existing in many families, and the film only puts this problem in the film context , And expand, thus creating a kind of resonance caused by tragedy.
"Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart" was highly recommended by Cui Yongyuan, Ni Ping and others after its release. The reputation of the movie is also rising.
In fact, if you want to interpret this movie, you have to analyze it from the male and female protagonists.
Since Li Baoli discovered that her husband had an extramarital affair, the details of the story began to be elaborated, waiting to finally pierce the window paper and witness the cruel truth in the world. Unexpectedly, Li Baoli's only spiritual support, this son who enjoys traditional education all the way, eventually blasted her mother out in cold blood.
did not expect that her husband committed suicide not because of being laid off, but could not stand his wife’s police behavior, thinking that he could not lift his head and be a man in this life.
Her husband committed suicide and left, and his son abandoned himself. These are probably the two most tragic events that any woman wants to encounter.
is the name of the movie "A Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart". When the mother and son quarreled on the rooftop, the burst of tear gas at that moment was shocking. When Li Baoli and her boyfriend left home, the story came to an abrupt end. A fateful beauty with tears and blood on both sleeves is written, not for sadness as a goodbye.
Maybe the film is telling of pain, bitterness, helplessness, lack of culture, conservative thinking, unopened, and even entering the road of life, without even noticing it. As a result, they are squeezed out by the horrors of society, family, and life-ten thousand arrows pierced their hearts, and they are desperate for life.
Wuhan is a prosperous land and water terminal. "There has never been aboriginal in this place, and there are nine merchants and the people." Being at the intersection of Central China, it seems that it naturally has some characteristics of northerners and southerners. With heat, noise, crowding, innocence and cunning, rough and fragile, it seems the most normal thing that a knife mouth and tofu heart appear on women in the shop at the same time.
can’t say who Li Baoli represents, but the “ruthless” and “rough” she overflows at any time is indeed something that locals are very familiar with. There is a section in the film
that I am very impressed.
walked to the riverside alone and sat for a night. The joyous fireworks on the riverside set off her expressionless face, and the children's "mother-in-law" made her feel relieved for a long time.
In the end, Li Baoli seemed to have figured it out. The first half of her life was to live for others, and the rest of her life was for herself, so she chose to escape and left the house where "thousand arrows penetrated the heart". At the end, director Wang Jing expressed this attitude by taking a high-altitude overhead shot. On the gray ground, a white van seemed to be planted with a white flag of surrender. Life is like that "bitch" van. Sometimes it may be uncomfortable, but you can leave by pushing it. Baoli looked back on the bleakness and started her new life with bamboo sticks and sandals.
I really love the overhead shot of the ending. Jianjian's car drove out and then stopped. Li Baoli got off the cart and cursed "Bitch son" as always. This stem is very good, much like Li Baoli's life, always full of confidence to do something, suddenly broke down, she cursed, and then used the strength of breastfeeding to let life continue.
Isn't life just one trouble after another, but you still have to keep going!
In the traditional Chinese family, "respect and precept, no violation of the master. The one who is obedience is the way of concubines." is the most basic family law.
In "A Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", Li Baoli plays the opposite role. For the audience, this female role above traditional ethics is always full of attraction, and the character setting of this role is also Set the tone of the whole movie.
So, what's the fault of all this?
Things have causes and effects, right and wrong become so contradictory and complex in the family relationshipMiscellaneous, a wrong move due to inexplicable family affection began with the heart of preserving the marriage, but it was the fuse of the future heart knot. Later, even if it took most of my life to make up, it was still only unforgivable. The denial is so sad. Fang Fang, the original author of
, may have intended to "expose the world and criticize the ugliness" and tell stories from the standpoint of ordinary people.
From the standpoint of the son, there are still enough reasons to do such a move. After all, the mother is the culprit who ruined her dearest father. Everything is in the family relationship. The seemingly reasonable behavior is because of With the premise of "family affection", "A Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart" becomes more complicated.
Perhaps what we should ask ourselves in our hearts is-who is more wrong? Some people say that mother, but mother's more than ten years of dedication made us have to forgive her initial mistakes, so we began to fall into the quagmire again.
When the son told his mother that he would cut off the relationship between mother and child after drinking it, our initial anger was that his cold blood and his unreasonable and hopelessness were incurable, but on the other hand, we recognized his behavior. The reason, because we understand.
We can’t really measure which end of the balance between “a fatal mistake” and “ten years of hard work” is tilted on the scale. Everyone is everyone’s reality and choice. Outside of the matter, we cannot easily assert that I can look at it, look at it again, and then feel infinitely sad.
Compared with Ma Xuewu and Jianjian, the character is just the opposite: he was born rashly and has a strong personality. He has been in jail for fighting. His body exudes strong male hormones, and he was a simple-minded boss before he went to prison.
If Li Baoli is a strong woman, the result is just to be controlled by a stronger man. Then this character is very valuable. Jianjian called Baoli, "Don't pretend to be very emotional", but at the same time, there are tears in his eyes, indicating that there is no emotion? At the end of the film, Jianjian admits that he is owed. Between them, I seem to see a real equality between men and women.
In fact, in "A Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart", Li is more of a woman who stubbornly fights against her destiny and finally has to compromise.
Let alone the rationality of the composition of a family composed of a low-level urban woman and a rural intellectual, let alone domineering and soft and dull are two incompatible qualities. In the first part of the
film, Li Baoli vented her emotions in a nearly crazy way of expression. The gap between real life and ideals combined with the pungent personality cultivated in Hanzheng Street, has both inner motivation and ideal performance tools, in front of movers She didn't give her husband any face, and she was overwhelmed when dealing with family incidents, making her an out-and-out shrew.
However, I can't hate this violent woman. Instead, I feel a bit pity and pity, because although the way of expression is slightly wrong, her request can't be more reasonable in life.
Li Baoli, as a woman, resists fate with her tough character, and she refuses to be molded.
The English title of "A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is "Feng Shui", which literally translates to "Feng Shui". According to her best friend, Li Baoli's house is a murderous house: there are several roads passing by, and it is called "Ten Thousand Arrows Passing Heart" in Feng Shui. It would be unlucky to live in such a house. At this time, Li Baoli showed her stubborn and strong side.
"I don't believe in this evil, if I want to say, this is called blazing light."
In the following days, Li Baoli put the burden of family livelihood on her weak shoulders. At this time, Li Baoli was no longer hateful, but respectable. She bravely faced the darkness of reality and the paleness of life. She lived frugally only to provide for her children to go to college, and she still generously helped her friends even when she was already in a difficult situation. Li Baoli’s job is to carry goods on a pole. Wuhan is commonly known as a “pole pole”, which is a hard work of earning money purely by physical strength. As a widow, as a woman, Li Baoli resolutely chose to shoulder the burden of the entire family.
Although the relationship between the heroine and her husband is an important passage, the film focuses on the hatred between mother and child.
I can understand Xiaobao’s resentment towards her mother. The shadow of childhood can accompany a person’s life. Perhaps the heroine has an indirect responsibility for her husband’s death, but Xiaobao’s childhood shadow caused her to be the main responsibility. When the child is youngShe didn't know how to conceal the disharmony between her husband and wife in front of her children. On the contrary, she always brought her children into this awkward relationship, and even scolded the children mercilessly when she was upset. Combined with the death of her husband and the more or less instigated by her mother-in-law, Xiaobao's impression of her mother is somewhat distorted and ugly accompanied by the shadow of childhood and single parenthood.
Li Baoli is dedicated to making money, and she doesn’t know how to communicate with her children, which makes the relationship between the two more alienated. There is no need to be surprised from the spiritual separation to the struggle for real estate, which means that the heroine never rejects her weak husband. At the beginning, it was also destined for the evening scene.
So at the beginning of the movie, the densely packed houses show the whole picture of a city, meaning that there is only the smallness of an independent living organism.
is also used for overhead shots that pass through Li Baoli's home on the roads. The significance of this shot is to express Li Baoli's personal position, which is at the center of the tragedy. The downtown area of Hanzheng Street and Li Baoli's final departure with Jianjian also adopted the overhead shooting method, which means the final affirmation of Li Baoli's fate. The
overhead shot gives people the feeling that they are full of dominance in the vision and can produce a sense of tragic fate. There is only one purpose of using a large number of overhead shots in this film, allowing the audience to experience the tragedy in the narrative by examining the protagonist. The most obvious thing in the
film is the opposition between the characters' personalities. It is precisely because of this opposition that the inequality caused is the basis of the entire tragedy. The birth and background of Li Baoli are completely different from the appearance and background of her husband Ma Xuewu. The two identities subvert China's particular family relationship, and this antagonism and inequality constitute the entire tragedy.
praised Yan Bingyan again for the last time. Through her relaxed performance, she once again proved that a good actor should be a knife, and as long as the right opportunity is met, it can leave a wound in the hearts of the audience.
Unfortunately, she is relatively low-key, and she also looks forward to her next works.
