, a movie " Hidden into the Dust ", which reflects the theme of rural life in the northwest, has been controversial within just two months of its release. Now, the film has also been taken off the shelves and cannot be seen in the cinema.
is like a flash in the pan, it quickly withers when it blooms. Just like the title, it was hidden in the dust.
The film tells the story of a poor couple in rural Gansu, two people who are ill and abandoned by their families.
was linked by people, and they had an intersection to form a family of two, two people, a donkey, and a dilapidated earthen house. Live at sunrise, work at sunset, rest at sunset, have three meals and four seasons, and share the joys and sorrows of the day. Although
's life is bitter and dull, it is this rural couple who are full of hope in life, telling us the romance of rural love. In
's film, doesn't mention bitterness, but the bitterness goes out of the sky.
What I still don't understand is why this movie has attracted so much negative criticism?
with such doubts, I revisited the film again to analyze three reasons.
1. The rural life of "Hidden in the Dust" is suspected.
I think "Hidden in the Dust" does not magnify the suffering of rural peasants, nor does it smear blackness, but truly exposes some ugly human nature.
The rural life in real life is often more difficult than the rural life in the film. Those who use their fingers to tap the keyboard and use words to criticize the director's depiction of the countryside is because they are not rural people at all, and they have not suffered at all.
described the characters in the film as Jia Zhangke puppets
This is a film critic's criticism of "Hidden in the Dust", he said that the characters inside are "Jia Zhangke puppets", with a dull and dull expression.
I don't know what a Jia Zhangke puppet is, I just believe what I see. Don't forget that Guiying is suffering from hidden illnesses, while Ma Youtie is an old man who is honest and can only work hard.
These people living at the bottom of society, what expressions do you want to see on their faces, crying and complaining all day long? Or are they more spurned by people like those who steal chickens and dogs?
They are all just relying on their hard work and living hard, they don't want to be pitied, they just want the respect they deserve. There is a saying in
, "Don't persuade others to be kind without suffering others." You have never experienced such a life, so what qualifications do you have to oppose others?
criticized "Hidden in the Clouds" for imitating other works
, and the real-life situation is always more cruel than what you see in front of you.
There is such a case around me. The second uncle of the neighbor has a total of four sons and one daughter, named Musheng, Haisheng, Shusheng, Watson, and Qunying.
The fourth brother, Watson, started hating his second brother because of the second brother Haisheng building a house. Now everyone is from the grandfather generation, and still can't let go of the past grievances and make peace.
Netizens' comments on the film
In the 1990s, the four brothers had already married and separated. The second child wants to go home and build a house after working outside to earn money, and the homestead has been allocated.
But the fourth child thinks that the old man is biased, and feels that the second child's homestead is large, and various obstacles prevent him from starting the construction of the house smoothly. What's even more outrageous is that he actually talked about the illness of his youngest son who was born not long ago. He said that he went to a Feng Shui person to read it, and it was the second child's house that prevented his son from getting sick.
Because of this, both brothers fought. The second child still chose to compromise, giving up the homestead assigned to him and choosing another place to build a house.
In fact, it is not that the homestead allocated by the old man is unfair. But the fourth child listened to what others said and felt that the homestead assigned to him was not facing well. He chose the honest second brother to start, and he got his wish.
Netizens' comments on the video
The two brothers have been blood-related enemies since then, and have never communicated, and the relationship has been deteriorating and stiff.
's younger brother can tear up his own elder brother for the homestead. In the film, Ma Youtie also has three elder brothers. They are iron on horsesThat's right, only when you have a valuable relationship will you think of your younger brother. This is true for
's own brothers, let alone outsiders? Never underestimate the ugliness of human nature.
2. The rural identities of the two protagonists of "Hidden in the Dust" have been questioned.
Many people doubt that there will be no such thing as Guiying and Ma Youtie in rural areas. Do these people really understand the countryside? Are you a native of the countryside?
Maybe, the culture where you live is very good, and there are no characters like the hero and heroine of the movie. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist anywhere else.
"Hidden in the Clouds" is described as a pseudo-realistic rural life and is fictional.
I remember when I was a child, sister Mei from the same village was similar to Guiying. People in the village called her Silly Mei, and she was very handsome. When she was a child, she suffered from an illness, and her brain was injured due to the negligence of adults and indiscriminate medication.
After the disease is cured, people become stupid, and people with intellectual disabilities can't even take care of themselves.
Netizens' comments on the film
She is even more pitiful than Gui Ying, because she was made stupid by ignorant parents who abused drugs, and her parents blamed themselves and guilt all their lives. I can't take care of myself when I defecate, and I often get the smell of feces and urine everywhere in my house.
's parents are heartbroken and blame her endlessly. Therefore, a small house was specially built for Sister Silly Mei to live there.
No matter where her mother goes, she will take Sister Silly Mei with her with a rope, and when she gets home, she will be locked in the hut.
's criticism that Ma Youtie has been with the big donkey for half his life is not true.
When Sister Si Mei was 23 years old, someone came to propose a marriage. It turned out that there was a 50-year-old bachelor who was born with a lame leg in the village next door. Everyone called him Uncle Guang.
has been single and unmarried because his poor parents left early.
He lives in the old house left by his parents, and he is not disabled. He often helps two older brothers with farm work, and the family treats him well and does not dislike him as a burden. When
reached the age of marriage, the two older brothers also asked someone to help him talk about his daughter-in-law. But the girl from ten miles and eight townships, no one wants to marry him at all, and the family is poor or disabled.
are both 50-year-olds, and both brothers have become grandpas. His younger brother is still an orphan. In the countryside, an orphaned elderly person who does not get married and have children is a family member, and his children and grandchildren are cut off.
His eldest brother inquired about Shamei's situation, and even knew that she could not take care of herself in a silly life, and he also wanted to help his younger brother to say that he had facilitated the marriage. Moreover, he also instigated his relatives and children around him to do the ideological work of his younger brother.
Netizens' comments on the film
's family all promised Uncle Guang, as long as he was willing to get married and give birth to a boy and a girl. The child's support family will help to share the burden and support until the child grows up.
Uncle Guang agreed. He was also afraid that after a hundred years, he would be alone and without descendants. At the beginning of
, Sister Silly Mei's parents disagreed. They knew that their daughter was really stupid and couldn't take care of herself. Who would want to marry her? Doesn't that add a burden to yourself?
has repeatedly communicated with Uncle Guang's two brothers, and reassured them. Sister Silly Mei's parents also agreed to the marriage, although they knew that they married Sister Silly Mei for the purpose of inheriting the family.
, the two younger brothers of Sister Silly Mei at the time, also persuaded their parents to agree. They have all said what they think, they will not care about silly sister Mei after two hundred years.
can be silly that Sister Mei's status quo is a mistake they made as parents, and after thinking about it, she still agrees. After all, when they are old, no one is willing to take care of Sister Silly Mei, and even their own sons admit that they are unwilling to take this responsibility.
Netizens' comments on the video
After Sister Mei married Uncle Guang, Uncle Guang didn't dislike her and couldn't take care of herself. Taking care of her like a child, Sister Silly Mei gave birth to a daughter to Uncle Guang two years later.
And under the company and care of Uncle Guang, Sister Silly Mei no longer defeces anywhere. At least she knows how to solve the three urgent problems of people. The two brothers of
also fulfilled their promise.take care of their daughter.
returns to the theme, the happy life of Guiying and Ma Youtie is short-lived. If there is no accident, they will live happily ever after.
3. The story of "Hidden in the Clouds" is questioned as fiction.
For, the authenticity of this movie. I can't say it's a completely true story, but I can only say that it's a film close to the theme of rural life. Director
used ordinary characters and events to reflect the true face of some rural life. This happens to be the real life of all living beings in rural life. There are all kinds of people, and the distinction between good and evil in human nature is well explained.
What I don't understand is why so many people like to go deeper? The truth is often worse than what you see.
Some people say that the film is a product of piecemeal pieces. If it is really like what he said, the film is a parody show and imitated by other works, then how can it pass the review and release?
has achieved such a good box office in a short period of time, how come no one will stand up to denounce its copyright issues?
I don't have that much experience, and I don't understand the details. All I know is that stories come from life, and art is a product based on real life.
These people put it bluntly, they say grapes are sour if they can't eat grapes. After all, everyone has different ideas, different growth experiences, and different perspectives on problems.
is because we all have different experiences, so everyone thinks differently. Some feel reasonable, some feel unreasonable.
still said that if you are not a witness, there is no need to rashly criticize anyone or anything.
Through this movie, I came to a conclusion: never take your own ruler to measure a person or a thing. Don't be a moral judge, be yourself, and be at ease.
