has been locked at home recently due to the epidemic, so I have time to watch movies. I saw on the Internet that " Hidden into the Dust " was given a high score of 9.6 points by netizens on a certain video platform, so I came to see it. The first impression after watching it is: this movie deserves to be given a high score of 9.6.
but later found that the film was very controversial on the Internet. Some netizens think that the situation reflected in the movie is very unreal: Gansu would not have been so poor 10 years ago; the human nature in the countryside would not have been so indifferent... This is a smear of the current economic status and human nature of my country's rural economy. Of course, some netizens believe that the poverty and human nature reflected in the movie do exist in some parts of our country, or even more so.
In fact, after watching this movie, I was also deeply troubled by the poor depiction of rural Gansu ten years ago and the indifference of human nature in this movie, but this still does not prevent me from thinking that this is a movie. good movie.
1. This film can arouse our attention to the people at the bottom of society.
I believe that even in the rural areas with the worst agricultural production conditions in our country, even 10 years ago, the kind of poverty reflected in the film is still an extremely rare phenomenon. But we can't ignore the existence of this very individual person just because this is only a very rare phenomenon, just like the local villagers can't remember who is the horse and the iron.
For any citizen, there is a responsibility to pay attention to the people living at the bottom; this is especially true for literary and artistic workers. This is also a conscience. Youtie Ma and Cao Guiying in the
society are the ones who need our attention the most, not the obvious big names. This film arouses our attention to the people in extreme hardship, such as Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying, who have been almost forgotten by society. So when we watch this movie, we should not worry too much about whether the poverty in the movie is real or whether the human nature in the movie is real, but after watching the movie, we should know: when we live a well-off life, our There are also a very small group of people who are living in extreme hardships that we may have overlooked.
Of course, I also think that some people in rural areas are poor because they are lazy to cook. These people are poor, they deserve it, and they don't deserve everyone's attention.
2. The movie praises the unyielding struggle of the bottom people in the face of hardship. In the movie
Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying, one is an old bachelor who is despised by his brother's family, and the other has trembling hands, lame feet, urinary incontinence, and can only An old girl who can't get married who sleeps in her brother's shack. They don't have their own houses, so they can only go to other houses to watch TV. The house-built splendens can only go to other houses on credit, and even 10 eggs must be borrowed from other houses. It is such a rural marginal couple living in extreme hardship, but they did not bow their heads to their fate and were not willing to be poor. Instead, they relied on their own hands to change their lives bit by bit, and even lived their lives like flowers. Did we notice when we watched the movie that Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying tore off the Double Happiness that was posted on the wall of the old house every time they moved, and then carefully reposted it on the wall of the newly moved house? Ever notice the triple print in the movie? At about 1 hour and 25 minutes, Ma Youtie was printed on Cao Guiying's forearm; at about 1 hour and 35 minutes, Cao Guiying was printed on the back of Ma Youtie's hand; at about 1 hour and 55 minutes, Ma Youtie was printed on the back of the dead Cao Guiying's hand.
3. The movie sang the praises of the honesty of the Yo-Tie Ma.
Some people say that "the poor live by scheming, and the rich grow their conscience". Although Ma Youtie was poor, he did not make a profit. On the contrary, Yotie Ma has kept the "truth, goodness and beauty" that many of us have lost. It was the first time
encountered a house being demolished. When he saw the swallow's nest in the ruins after the house was demolished, Yo-Tie Ma worried: "When the swallow comes back this year, the nest will not be found." The second time when the house was demolished, Yo-Tie Ma asked. The owner of the house said, "Will we dismantle the nest after the swallows are out of the nest?" When he saw the tadpoles in the water scooped into the bucket, Ma Youtie carefully put the tadpoles back into the water. When Zhang Yongfu rented the ground at the top of Baogu, he also asked Zhang Yongfu's son to scrape the money for two coats - although the market price of a pound of corn was 80 cents, Zhang Yongfu's family had to pay 1 yuan, although Ma Youtie didn't save Zhang Yongfu when he donated blood. He was given the nutritional allowance he deserved. When the harvest was completed, Ma Youtie used the money from selling grain to pay off the money he owed to buy fertilizers and seeds; he also gave the two bags of potatoes that were owed to the villagers who sold Achnatherum splendens to him, even though they thought it was worthwhile. Not so much, even though people are not at home. After saving enough eggs, Ma Youtie insisted on paying back the loan to the neighbor10 eggs at home - despite the neighbors saying no...
Of course, although I think it's a good movie, the portrayal of human indifference in this movie still strikes me as a bit outrageous. After Guiying fell into the water, although Lao Wang went to fetch it, the other villagers in the village acted as if nothing had happened. Although I have not lived as long as I have lived in the countryside as long as I have lived in the city, there is definitely more mutual help among the neighbors in the countryside than in the city. In the past two years, there have been two heart-warming incidents in my hometown where the old man lost his entire production team and helped him find it everywhere.
As for the saying on the Internet that the director's suffering in filming China is to win foreign awards, I dare not rashly speculate on the director's real purpose for making this film. Compared with this statement of netizens, I believe that the director made this film out of the conscience of a literary and artistic worker. However, I personally think that it is better not to take this kind of film abroad to participate in any awards, otherwise it may be used by people with ulterior motives.
