What do you mean to the world?
Every ordinary person is born small, and in the world, humble to the dust, even if life dies, the time that still walks will not stop.
So many people always feel that they are useless and complain that they are born ordinary and do nothing, but after reading " Ordinary Hero ", I finally understand that everyone has a meaning to the world.
Everyone is connected with many ties in life, maybe a small act or kind understanding of oneself may save a life and save a family.
"Ordinary Heroes" opens with a metaphor that points out the theme.
Wheat played the role of a big tree in a fairy tale rehearsed in kindergarten. Due to his erratic movement, the tree's arm fell off. The children next to him picked up the tree's arm and picked it up for him. Laughter and laughter resounded throughout the classroom.
The use of 's compared to sets the tone for the movie, and tells the audience that the ending will be a happy reunion. Although there will be some hardships in life, the ending will be happy.
Then the big screen of the movie opened slowly, Mai was relayed by everyone, and the story of the race against time was officially staged.
"Ordinary Hero" is very calm in the narrative. Regarding the special character of wheat, the film uses a very documentary and very simple way to express, and the performance is not unconventional and does not seem to be routine.
In the three minutes at the end of the film, a real clip of rescuing a child with a severed hand is released, as well as the way he looks like a normal child after he recovers, playing in class and watching the flag raising, which echoes with the movie and adds to the appeal of the movie.
This kind of documentary expression is generally more painful and dull, but the film adopts a combination of reality and reality to quietly describe the relationship and feelings between people, highlighting the humanistic care in the film. The story of the
movie is not complicated, it follows the logic of a three-act drama, beginning, confrontation, and ending.
Towards the end of the first act, the biggest plot driving point of the movie appeared. In order to pick up a toy, Mai's arm was accidentally cut off by a tractor roller. After
, the film entered the second act, dramatic conflict followed, the small confrontation was Zhang Yishan, played the doctor, who had a knot due to a failed operation, but finally resolved.
The big confrontation is the choice of life or arm protection, the confrontation between time and life, which leads to the big proposition of the doctor's two minutes and the child's life.
is the end of the movie. Just like in reality, wheat is treated in time and life is as usual. Those ordinary heroes make the society more and more human.
and the complete story in "Ordinary Heroes" are matched with different group portraits, who together forge a life relay.
The hawker uncle went from misunderstanding to taking the initiative to evacuate the crowded pedestrian street. When the female patrol police saw that Mai was in danger, she opened a green channel.
and the crew, they did not stand on the moral high ground to kidnap the sympathy of others. Everyone's kindness is out of their own willingness.
There are also ordinary passengers singing on the plane, ordinary but not ordinary.
They put down their grievances and their exhaustion, just to make Mai no longer fall asleep, because the doctor told him not to fall asleep on the plane, otherwise it will be very bad for his condition.
At this moment, everyone's goal is the same, that is to race against time, sacrifice oneself for others, human life is above everything else, maybe they are not so highTalking a lot, but a word of "come on" is enough to make one's eyes wet.
Together, they gave Wheat hope to live, gave the family the confidence to return to a happy life, and made the movie three-dimensional.
Life will not always be smooth sailing, there will always be some unsolicited ups and downs, but no matter when you should not lose hope in life, how beautiful life is, the world is worth it. In the
movie, Mai was sent to the hospital twice, once to Hotan Hospital and once to Urumqi Hospital.
These two mise-en-scène highlighted the tension, anxiety, and dedication of ordinary heroes from all sides.
uses the camera's push-pull, panning, and up-and-down, the camera's upside down, downside, and horizontal shots, the actor's movement, and the formation of the composition, explaining the relationship between characters and the background of the story.
On this basis, female patrolmen, hawker bosses, rebellious teenagers, and passengers on the plane have appeared one after another. Together with the camera, they have formed a rich audio-visual language, allowing the audience to feel the brilliance of humanity through the screen.
In addition to the scene scheduling, there are many changes in the scenes in the movie.
switched from a long shot to a panoramic view, then moved to a medium shot and a close shot, and visually displayed the character's emotions in front of the audience through close-ups.
, combined with the shaking of handheld photography, constitutes all the shots of "Ordinary Heroes", which makes the film become the narrator and enhances the realism of the film. In terms of editing method,
adopts cross montage . In the
film, three lines are crossed. The first is that wheat was rushed to the airport to Urumqi for surgery.
The second point is that all crew members and passengers should work together and race against time in order to keep the arm of wheat.
The third rule is that the Urumqi Hospital will prepare everything needed for the treatment, and only wait for the wheat to land to provide rescue, and spare no effort during the rescue, and will not give up until the last moment.
However, when we see "Ordinary Heroes" play out these facts on the screen, it always feels very fake, and there is no such thing as good deeds in reality.
therefore thinks that the director blindly sensationalized in the movie, earning the audience's tears, the design of many scenes and the behavior of the characters are very deliberate, and naturally have a prejudice against the movie.
This is because the audience has not experienced life and death, so they can't empathize with them, and they won't notice the reality in the movie that makes the characters' motives reasonable.
is like the flight attendant played by Li Bingbing , who spends less time with his son because of work, so he can't accompany him for a long time, and he feels guilty for his son.
saw Wheat, who is the same age as her son, seriously injured, and the mother's love in her heart was inspired, and she treated the injured Wheat from the perspective of a mother.
and the orthopaedic surgeon played by Zhang Yishan overcome his demons with the instinct to save lives and heal wounds, diagnose and treat wheat to save his life. Details like
were inserted into the film by the director, just to let the audience feel the reality of "Ordinary Heroes", with real feelings, real behavior, and real life.
At the same time, this is also the reason why "Ordinary Heroes" can make empathize with .
First, it didn't magnify the suffering, it was too miserable, and it only touched the little ones around me.The mood of the characters, not only that, the director also mixes soothing background music to lighten the mood.
Second is that the film was adapted from real events and shipped to Neorealism , and this narrative technique emphasizes authenticity.
After all, this kind of story of collective efforts is enough to move people. There is no shortage of love in this world, but some things cover our eyes.
The main theme is not original sin and should not be overwhelmed by stereotypes.
"Ordinary Heroes" does not specifically define the conflict between good and evil, nor does it deliberately create plot twists and turns, so that the relationship between the characters is drawn with swords and claws.
On the contrary, in the film, what we see is gentle and kind interpersonal communication, trickle-down feelings, when it is difficult for the audience to calm down, the impression hits in an instant, and the goodness of the film is captured.
This kind of good may be a line, a picture, a character, a story, a shot.
"Ordinary Heroes" does have some shortcomings, but many times, what we watch a movie is the feeling of the moment.
As far as the audience is concerned, as long as it resonates in a certain place, it doesn't matter how good it is. At a certain stage, this is a good movie.
