took time to watch the movie " Hidden Into the Dust " today. Before watching it, I prepared a pack of smoking paper, because everyone said that it was very tear-jerking, and my tear point was relatively low, and I was worried that I would cry. After watching the whole scene, I felt like a documentary, except that I felt a little depressed, and I didn't shed a single tear. I doubted whether I was too cold-blooded and ruthless.
This film is about two hard-working protagonists, the male protagonist Ma Youtie, an honest farmer, an old bachelor who is rejected by his relatives, and the female protagonist Cao Guiying, infertility, urinary incontinence, in the eyes of the family, she is A nuisance. In the countryside, faced with such a burden, the parents chose to marry her to someone else. In this way, two people who have almost never had a good life, were abandoned by their respective families in disguise in the middle of their lives, and were then brought together by a traditional arranged marriage to form a pair, from knowing each other, to relying on each other, to staying together, and to accompany each other. , experienced all kinds of hardships, through the change of seasons.
Sadly, when a new life is about to usher in, Gui Ying stumbles into the water and dies. The kind-hearted hero in his life sells all his food to pay off the potatoes he promised to others, borrow others' eggs, and owe money on credit. Fertilizers and pesticides. And the money borrowed to buy clothes for Guiying, although he doesn't have to pay back the money, because it is what he deserves for donating his "panda blood", but he still pays it back "by yard". In the end, he also released the "main labor force" donkey that accompanied him all his life. To be honest, I didn't understand the ending of the movie. Did the hero commit suicide by drinking medicine? Or moved into a new house and started a so-called new life? Everyone has their own opinions. The love between the fourth child and Gui Ying is never mentioned, and they are all hidden in their ordinary lives. The whole village has no sympathy at all, but the family, friendship, and neighbors are buried in the dust. Maybe this is the The idea conveyed by the movie "Hiding in the Dust"!
summed it up in one sentence: a story that cannot be seen from the age, the village cadres are missing, the richest man is greedy and fraudulent, relatives exploit and exploit, and the villagers avoid it like a plague, this is a very evil world! However, it can produce two extremely different kind, honest, self-reliant and self-reliant people. They endured hardships, but ultimately could not escape the tragic fate of the story. Looking at the rural areas of China, east, west, north and south, I believe it is difficult to find a prototype.
Tell me about my own feelings
One: Too much beautification of the male and female protagonists . The ordinary farmers I have come into contact with are rescued from house fires, borrowed from people who have no food, people in the rice harvesting village will help each other, and if they are bullied, some people will speak out for them and show their momentum. In the movie, watching other people drown from the sidelines, I personally feel that the portrayal is too extreme. The whole village is basically bad people, but the male and female protagonists are kind, a little too deliberate. You know, mutual harm at the bottom is always the deepest evil of human nature.
Second: too sensational
don't understand why the realism theme is always so bitter, so tragic and so miserable. I am also such an ordinary person. The countryside may still be poor now, but it is not that scary. Using such an extreme story to insinuate any realistic implication seems false. After reading the film review, so many people were moved, I don't know where their feelings come from, and whether these people are from the city or the countryside, and how old are they? Anyway, I was very calm after watching it. Maybe I grew up in the countryside. It was very common in the countryside more than 20 years ago. The people who came out step by step, as everyone said: "Love flows to those who have no shortage of love, and suffering flows to those who can endure hardship the most." , can be said to be this year's dark horse film, the Douban score is quite high, and there are many awards abroad, which is very touching. The reason I don't like it has nothing to do with the work, whether the movie is good or not, and whether the art is artistic or not. Rather, today, the ideas conveyed by this type of film are inseparable from depression and pain. from Red Sorghum , to Laojing , and later, there are some special films that are too hard to suffer any more. I already feel that these films are not made for us to watch. ! Please remember that anyone who has suffered will never look back on suffering, let alone empathize with , which is why I personally don't like watching this movie.
