1905 Film News Produced by Li Shaohong, produced by Wang Yan, written and directed by Huang Huang, and starred by Jin Jingcheng, Liu Zhihan, and Hou Yunxiao, the movie "Wulin Orphans" was officially released on November 8. The film is set in a mountain village martial arts school in the late 1990s, using absurd and humorous expressions to tell the story between a "rebellious" martial arts teenager and a culture teacher.
The whole film takes Lu Youhong (played by Jin Jingcheng), a new Chinese teacher who teaches in the martial arts school, as the main point of view, and divides the time chapters with the autumn and winter solar terms, narrating a profound story. The "Zhi Ge Wu School" in the movie is a closed environment almost cut off from modern society. There, everyone is proud of practicing martial arts and ashamed of learning literary-it is a centralized and high-pressure environment. And Zhang Cuishan (played by Hou Yunxiao) is the only child in this martial arts school who studies seriously, and therefore appears out of place and is bullied. And our protagonist, Mr. Lu Youhong, wants to redeem him, he needs to fight against everything in this environment...
"Wulin Orphan" has been recognized by many international film festivals. Including the 31st Tokyo International Film Festival "Asian Future" Unit International Exchange Fund Asia Center Special Award; the 9th Australian Golden Koala Chinese International Film Festival Best Film Award; and shortlisted for the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival "Chinese New Style" "Unit, the 12th Dutch Asian Film Festival, and the 18th New York Asian Film Festival. When the film is released, "Wulin Orphans" will also participate in the 26th Minsk International Film Festival in Belarus.
In spite of this, "Wulin Orphan" is different from the kind of "art film" that everyone imagines to participate in the film festival. It's humorous and loving, and sometimes even a little bit rude. There are many details that show the talent and inspiration of the film's creators. It is a very special work.
For example, the film created the only female character in a closed environment-school doctor An Lan (played by Liu Zhihan). From the beginning of her appearance, her pure and moving image has formed a sharp contrast with the martial arts school full of masculinity. She is the fantasy object of the protagonist Lu Youhong. This emotional drama enriches the main line and dispels part of the resistance consciousness of the movie. Let it become gentle and pleasant again.
The movie "Wulin Orphans" is a special and rare film, and the story has aroused viewers to think about the metaphors and intentional elements in the film. The story uses an open ending, with thousands of people and thousands of words, everyone has a different understanding and perception. In the face of centralization, in prison, and the ridicule and ridicule of the world, who can say that he is not playing a role under the symbol?
On November 8th, I walked into the theater and watched "Wulin Orphans". I hope that after watching it, everyone can have an interpretation of the movie.
