mentioned Xu Qing, what do you think? Is it the beautiful girl in "Flowers and Teens" who has both the life of the princess and the illness of the princess? Or the charming in " Lao Pao Er "?
Can you believe that these two people who seem to have little connection in ordinary times, 30 years ago, actually played auspicious drama ? Moreover, the characters in the film are very different from the images we know now. But after reading it, I still have to sigh that Xu Qing was a real soul back then, and Huang Lei was a real little fresh meat- " sings while walking"
A long time ago, in a remote area of the motherland, a blind child studied with his master Play the piano. Before his death, the master left a prophecy: "If a thousand strings are broken, the qin box will be opened; if the qin box is opened, buy medicine; if you buy medicine, you will see the world, and the world will be white." means that a blind child can only break a thousand strings , in order to take out the prescription in the piano box to grab the medicine, so that oneself can gain light.
Over the years, the blind boy has been following the teacher's teachings, practicing the piano painstakingly, and has never opened the case without permission. He traveled all over the poor mountains and bad waters and sang the desolation through the ages. In the tempering of the years, he changed from a child to an old man. He was respected by the villagers as " God". As small as two guests at Hukou Noodle House quarrel over the first bowl of noodles, or as big as a fight between two surnames. Gods and Gods can always use the sound of the harp and singing to soothe people's troubled hearts. In the process of
walking in the rivers and lakes, Shenshen accepted an apprentice, also a blind stone (played by Huang Lei). Stone is not as pious as Master. Although he also holds a violin, he almost never plays it. He doesn't seem to believe the prophecy of playing the piano, and his mind is always full of questions, "What is the blue sea?" "Is the blank white?", and "Why can't I see?" "See What is the thing like?" The distress and resentment. Until Lan Xiu (played by Xu Qing) appeared. It should be mentioned here that Xu Qing was only 21 years old and was still a sophomore at at the Film Academy. At that time, she was full of youth, and in the film, she was completely dressed in a dress of "water comes out of hibiscus, and natural decoration is removed".
Lan Xiu is beautiful, with big watery eyes and two high ponytails. Although the stone could not see, he touched Lan Xiu's face in a game. At this touch, in a flash of light, two teenagers who had just started falling in love were ignited by 's ignorant love. They sometimes run hand in hand in the wilderness, sometimes embrace each other warmly in the haystacks, and sometimes meet in an empty house with no one.
However, this relationship is not favored by the world. Even the master warned Shitou that the relationship between a man and a woman is not a long-term thing, but he was ridiculed by Shishi as "greedy". Later, Shi was beaten by villagers led by Lan Xiu's father. In the face of the inability to fight in the future, Lan Xiu finally chose to jump off the cliff and end his life.
On the other side, Shenshen finally broke a thousand strings. He happily took out the prescription like a child and went to the pharmacy to get it, but was told that the prescription was just a blank piece of paper! Years of perseverance is in vain, the so-called prophecy is actually a lie. For a time, it was difficult for God to accept it. On his way home, when he saw the fight again, he stopped playing the piano and sang songs, but grabbed the stone on the ground and threw it at the crowd fighting in the distance.
God calmed down, naturallyMaster Bai's painstaking effort - breaking a thousand strings, is just a reason for living that Master gave him. Life may not be about finding the light, but living and moving forward while walking and singing. So, Shenshen told Shishi that he had misremembered, not one thousand strings, but one thousand two hundred.
However, in the end, Shenshen did not get out of the heavy weight of the sudden collapse of decades of belief. After playing and singing for others all his life, he finally played and sang a song for himself. finished the song, and then passed away . After the death of the old god, people worship the stone as a new god. Can a stone break a thousand two hundred strings? We don't know, we only know that he replaced the note given by the master on his deathbed with a letter from Xiuer to himself.
The film is adapted from Shi Tiesheng 's novel "Life is like a String" . At the age of 21, he suddenly became disabled in both legs, and then suffered from kidney disease and uremia. He relied on dialysis 3 times a week to maintain his life. The physical disability and the torment of illness make Shi Tiesheng's creations always full of sadness and depth.
Perhaps it is precisely because he saw the predicament of existence and lived strong, that Shi Tiesheng's works revealed a kind of generous smile in the face of hardship and pain. People don't care where they come from or where they go. Human life is like a violin, it is enough to play it, and it is right to play it.
This allegorical novel deeply touched many readers, including Chen Kaige . In 1991, he took advantage of the few foreign capitals to adapt the novel into the film "Sing While Walking". Of course, as a famous director, Chen Kaige has to add his own artistic ideas and styles. The endless yellow sand, blue sky, rushing waterfalls, various artistic pictures appear from time to time in the movie.
also appeared a lot of symbolic and allegorical shots such as the statue of the god of death and the snake crawling around the statue. The film is regarded as the finale of the fifth generation of films, and was selected for the competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and won the Best Film Award at the Istanbul Film Festival. Unfortunately, it was not released in China.
For the art of film, the beholder sees the wise and the wise sees the wisdom. In the process of watching the movie, Xiaomei, like everyone, has the biggest feeling that many places can't be seen clearly and heard clearly. The obscure expression of the film, even professional film critics have "spit out":
The film looks like a far-fetched fable. Jump from one jaw-dropping landscape to another. The shots of various waterfalls and Gobi are formed into a graceful visual ballet, which is fascinating to watch. But in the final analysis, it is as private as a dream, which is prohibitive. It's not difficult to understand why the famous film + famous director + famous actor has only been watched by more than 3,000 people on Douban. After all, high and low. Or maybe, the real art of should not just be high and low.
