" Hidden in the Dust " - the characters are simple, the background is simple, there are not any too many special effects and dazzling skills, it is not simple enough to be called a "movie", it is more like a literary documentary. Many film critics say that it has a lot of stamina. Some people say it is about love, and some people say it is about suffering. Suffering and love are not enough. It deduces the innocence of life, the good and evil in human nature, and it is the epitome of various phenomena manifested in the society composed of human beings constructed by these two lines. During the entire viewing process, the only thing that made my eyes moist was the moment when Ma Youtie and Gui Ying's new house was torn down. In the whole play of
, except for two scenes, Ma Youtie interprets his own life neither humble nor arrogant. In the life cognition that horses have iron, donkeys are alive, tadpoles are alive, swallows are alive, and even wheat seeds are alive. Ma Youtie has donated blood countless times because he has these life cognitions as his background. I guess in Ma Youtie's life cognition, he thinks that it is a life, and life is bigger than the sky. In front of life, saving people should be, so he did not mention any reward, even the two that the other party gave to Guiying. A piece of clothing was finally deducted from the sale of corn. When giving clothes for the second time, Ma Youtie understood the connotation of the opponent's actions, but he made a different choice. He chose to provide the villagers with the land rental fee that should have been paid by the whole village. In fact, in Ma Youtie's life cognition, isn't it right to rent people's land and give them a fee? This is the background color of Ma Youtie's life cognition. So innocent, so clean. And this innocence and cleanliness is also metaphorical in Ma Youtie's cognitive dialogue on land and wheat. At the end of the play, before Ma Youtie chose to end his life, he returned all the things he borrowed in the village one by one, and once again catered to Ma Youtie's clean and pure life cognition background. Because of the existence of these clean and pure life cognition background, in Ma Youtie's eyes, Guiying is even more alive. When everyone in the whole village was disgusted by Guiying's urination incontinence, Ma Youtie would not, not only not, but also protect her well. All throughout the show, there are a lot of subtle scenes that are heartwarming. It wasn't because of Gui Ying who decided. If it were anyone else, Ma Youtie would take care of him. This is determined by the horse's iron life background. In a sense, Ma Youtie saved/warmed Guiying's life. Because when Ma Youtie did not appear in Gui Ying's life, Gui Ying's life background has been crushed by the strange eyes around her, life is not stretched, and everything is shown carefully. After Ma Youtie appeared, Guiying's life began to stretch, and her life was full of vitality. The two shots mentioned above by
, the first shot is a shot of two people harvesting wheat. You Tie climbed onto the donkey cart of wheat that was piled up in bundles. Because the piles were too high, it was inconvenient to climb up and down, so Gui Ying picked up the wheat bundles on the ground and threw them on the donkey cart, but Gui Ying did not. Too thin, not only did not throw the wheat sheaf, but was dominated by the wheat sheaf. At this time, Ma Youtie had a temper and complained, saying that raising a donkey can help him, but raising Guiying is not as good as a donkey. At this time, the camera was pulled to the current situation of the neighbor's farm in the field next door for comparison. For the first time, Ma Youtie complained to Guiying. Just this scene makes Ma Youtie's life seem a bit very real and down-to-earth, showing that he actually has a temper and complains. The second shot is that after Gui Ying left, Ma Youtie's entire life changed, from being humble or arrogant to helpless. If we say that the previous life was neither humble nor arrogant, it was fate, but it was positive and positive. After Guiying left, she also accepted her fate, but she was passive and no longer resisted. The same is fate, the two are very different, and Ma Youtie's interpretation is quite in place.
Let's take a look at the contrast between the life background of other people in the village and Ma Youtie's life cognition background. The first and foremost thing is that there is a strong and sharp contrast in material conditions. The most obvious contrast is the need for blood transfusion by Ma Youtie. The "landlords" of redemption, in fact, these people seem to be relatively "smart and shrewd". The thought that brings is, can smart/savvy people live materially rich lives? A person with a pure and clean life should be exploited/enslaved by the so-called smart and shrewd people? This phenomenon is flooding the whole society at present. What is even more frightening is that these smart/savvy people are almost highly educated intellectuals. Is knowledge a product they use to flaunt themselves? Worth pondering. A person's knowledge does not mean he is literate.
At the end of the play, Ma Youtie let go of the donkey and removed its bodyOn all the donkey gear, there is a dialogue saying that donkeys are cheap bones. They have been fucked for a lifetime, enslaved/exploited for a lifetime, and finally let go but never go. In fact, it echoes the previous villager's statement that Ma Youtie was enslaved by his brother for a lifetime. Now that he has a family, he is still enslaved/exploited, which is a metaphor for Ma Youtie's life. In order not to continue being enslaved/exploited, Ma Youtie finally chose to end his life. In fact, it is difficult to say whether Ma Youtie has such a background in life cognition, is he enslaved/exploited, or is he not polluted by so-called knowledge? I think, the show is oriented towards being enslaved/exploited. But I think the ending orientation of the play is not perfect, and Ma Youtie should not choose to leave this world in the end. He can sink for a short time because of this, or he can be sad for a short time because of Gui Ying's departure, but in the end, he must be strong and live his life, so that Ma Youtie's life background will be richer and more layered, so as to show the public to the public. The life conveyed is more powerful.
