A successful movie is influenced by a combination of factors such as a good script, a good director, a good actor, a good scene, a good shooting and even a good soundtrack, and it is really not easy to be both a hit and a hit. But on the whole, a good script is fundamental and fundamental. A good script should have a good theme, good plot, and good lines. " Into The Dust " is definitely a successful movie, and its success lies first and foremost in the success of its script.
On the whole, the script of " Hidden Into the Dust " is equivalent to a minimalist version of "Alive", because of its historical span, rich content, numerous characters, and plot twists and "Alive" have similarities. There is a huge gap, but in terms of effect, people can't help but think of "Alive", because both have shocking tragic beauty in mining the essence of life, the connotation of life, and the complexity of human nature. The themes of both are serious and profound, in no way comparable to those entertaining soap operas like "Love Apartment." Of course, the latter is not denied here. After all, the two have different orientations, but literary and artistic works must not be all entertaining, so that the audience can only stay in the temporary pleasure and relaxation of the senses and psychology, although this is also very valuable, and it has also received a lot of People's love and pursuit. But a really good literary and artistic work must have practical ideological connotations, which can trigger people's profound reflection on the world, life, life, and human nature. thinking.
Plot-wise, this movie isn't complicated, but it's also gripping with ups and downs. The male protagonist, the fourth child, is a weak and dull person to outsiders, and the female protagonist, Gui Ying, is a disabled person who has almost lost his labor force. They were "married" at first. After being together, they slowly began to live together. After ups and downs, such as moving house three times, raining adobe, especially when the wheat was harvested, the fourth child was angry with Guiying and scolded her for being a donkey. Not as good (this is also the only time the husband and wife had a conflict), and then the two were reconciled. The most exciting thing is that the heroine stumbles and drowns, and the plot reaches a climax, which is unexpected and understandable and acceptable. In the end, the male protagonist should have committed suicide. He sold all the food, paid off all the debts, let go of his most precious and beloved donkey, the pesticide bottle on the table, ate an egg, and his nephew dragged him to death. Pig, the details such as the collection of house demolition funds can be inferred (not detailed here). From the title of the film " hides in the dust ", it also implies that the male protagonist finally committed suicide, because the house was finally knocked down and a cloud of smoke came out. He does not have the good luck of Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump", but from the perspective of the theme and artistic creation that the author wants to express, the arrangement of the male protagonist's suicide, although cruel, is the most thorough, brilliant and perfect. .
As far as the lines are concerned, it seems ordinary, but in fact, the golden sentences are repeated, such as the male and female protagonists' chatter when working in the field: "What can Maizi say to the sickle? What can Maizi say to the sparrow that pecks it? What can Maizi say to the mill? , what can wheat say? When it is treated as a seed, what can wheat say?" "People with feet can always walk around, which is better than crops and vegetables planted in the ground. Grain If you plant it in the ground, you won’t be able to go anywhere. It’s exposed to the wind and the sun, and you have to live and die in the ground. Then, where can we run when we have long feet.” Similar lines are quite similar. Many, quite the style of Liu Liangcheng's works. Some of the designs in the film seem random, but they are actually profound. For example, two people are watching TV at the third home, and the TV is telling the story of piranhas. In fact, it is to imply that the landlord Zhang who rented the land, including some villagers, is not a piranha? In real life, a large number of refined egoists, smart or not, are not piranhas? The popularity of
" Hidden into the Dust " is no accident. He created the images of the fourth child, Gui Ying and a series of characters, reflecting the good, evil, beauty and ugliness in real life, and guiding people to think about the fundamental propositions of life. , aroused the soft hearts of all those who still have kindness and yearning for fairness, and aroused strong resonance. We have reason to believe that the level of civilization of a society does not depend on how much respect and success the strong receive, but on how much understanding, respect, tolerance and care the weak receive. This is an important internal reason for the value and popularity of this film. After all, people with good hearts and longing for fairness are the vast majority of our society. (Original, net map)
