movie circle always gives people surprises. The latest surprise is undoubtedly " Hidden in the Dust ". It has two counterattacks: word of mouth goes from low to high. Douban's score is now as high as 8.5 points, which is really It's ridiculously high; the box office has been going up since then, and it even won the single-day box office champion for a few days. It's really not easy for a literary film.
But my evaluation is that "Hidden in the Dust" is not worthy of this score, and it is not worthy of the current praise from the movie itself. There are a few flaws in
that cannot be ignored.
"Hidden in the Dust"
First of all, the rhythm of the movie is very slow, and its slowness has surpassed the needs of the plot, and it seems a little boring. Secondly, some aspects of the character setting of the film are not in line with the character setting. No matter how good Ma Youtie is to Cao Guiying, he is just a farmer. In the film, what he said and did was more like a philosopher.
And Ma Youtie's sacrifice of love is more like snow in summer. Although it is shocking and sad, it shakes the hearts of the audience, but it does not conform to the rules.
So why did "Hidden in the Dust" come out of the circle? I think it's more about the timing of its appearance, which satisfies the expression of certain emotions of the audience.
"Hidden in the Dust"
Over the years, no matter it is a movie or TV series, there are almost no stories about the love of farmers, but more about the love accounts of handsome men and women in the city.
These men and women, whether they are low-level migrant workers or business elites, are all bright and beautiful, and they live unrestrainedly and freely, so the audience complains. They are obviously poor people, but the plot shows are all children of rich families.
This leads to the disgust and disgust of the audience. This trend is not a day or two, but a long period of time. As for the recent TV series, " Ode to Joy 3" is also good, "Summer in Brief". "Winter", is there any setting for ordinary people in the play? Yes, but people live like ordinary people.
"Hidden in the Dust"
's movie and TV series pursues a sense of sophistication not only in the props and costumes, but also in the characters. This is obviously putting the cart before the horse, but everyone is accustomed to it and complacent.
's "Hidden in the Dust" shows the living world of another group of people in an extremely poor environment. This world is not far from us when we look closely.
So we were surprised, moved, weeping, and praised. It's human nature, not the quality of the movie.
Let's talk about love. Love, regardless of class, ancient or modern, occupies a very important proportion in human life, but few film and television works can tell a good love story, especially the love of the humblest peasants.
"Hidden in the Dust"
We are used to seeing campus love, urban love, country love, noble love, heroic beauties love, and we were surprised to see Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying's love suddenly. These two people,
, belong to the marginalized people who have been abandoned by the society. They live in such hardships, so helpless, so submissive. And the ending was so terrifying.
Cao Guiying died, extremely abruptly; Ma Youtie died, actually a sacrifice for love.
doesn't care whether the plot is reasonable or not. The loss of two lives alone is enough to make the audience's heart hurt. Therefore, our sympathy overflows, we cry, and we applaud, pushing the momentum of the movie to a new climax.
This is not to criticize "Hidden in the Dust". In the Chinese film genre, I would prefer more similar and diversified films, but not similar aesthetic orientations.
movies have their artistic quality, and it would be too much of a loss if the movie could not be pushed to the other extreme because of the audience's emotions.
