On New Yearās Day, what is it like to cry in a movie theater until your eyes burst into tears?
When talking about the Chinese New Year, most people will probably think of keywords such as joyful and lively. It seems that crying has nothing to do with the Spring Festival, but this is not the case. The editor and people around me watched the movie " Let's Shake the Sun Together" ", I actually felt that crying until my eyes were full of tears actually had a different kind of satisfaction. The whole process of watching the movie was intertwined with crying and laughing, which actually had an unexpected "detoxification and healing" effect, so that when I walked out of the cinema, I actually felt... A feeling of sudden enlightenment that I have found the direction of my life at the beginning of the new year.
will first share with you another piece of real life tragedy and joy in a way that does not involve too many spoilers: the heroine Ling Min (played by Li Gengxi) who suffers from uremia uses a spur-of-the-moment "marriage proposal" video that is not very decent. By chance, he met Lu Tu (played by Peng Yuchang ), another patient suffering from a brain tumor. The two became a pair of happy friends while getting along with each other, and their ordinary daily routines accelerated their understanding of each other. In the footsteps of falling in love and in each other's company, the two of them burst out with a life force as warm as the sun.
The plot is quite simple, and it is partly based on documentary literature. The focus is on how to tell the story thoroughly while also being labeled as "exciting enough" to make it stand out during the Spring Festival when gods fight.
In fact, judging from the real-life feedback, "Shaking the Sun" not only broke out through word-of-mouth, but also harvested a large number of viewers with its sincerity. Since it dares to be released during the Spring Festival, of course it still needs to have a smile that fits the New Year mood.
so, what are we laughing at when we watch "Shake the Sun", which is obviously about illness?
This goes back to the directorās solid shooting skills and unique shooting techniques, such as "Get Out!" "Tumor King" and " Give You a Little Red Flower " director Han Yan, who leads the way in warm realism, did not use cries of life and death to show how terrible a serious illness is, nor did he deliberately sensationalize or It was a misfortune, but many humorous plot points were designed: for example, Lu Tuās laughter comes from the appearance, and his silly behavior makes people laugh;
For example, Lu Tuās various testing behaviors towards Ling Min, typos Notes that are flying all over the sky but have their own absurd meaning;
For example, the nonsensical "birds are artificial intelligence, their eyes are monitoring people's movements", "Earthlings are the descendants of aliens" and other second-rate comments are just piled on top of jokes. ...
Han Yan superimposes these relaxing clips together, and it is difficult not to make people smile sincerely.
As for the emotion of crying until your face is full of tears, you may think that it is just because the pain and suffering are so painful that people can relate to it, then you are totally wrong.
The tears we cried when watching "Shaking the Sun" did not come from the sadness of illness. The tears after laughing were actually due to warmth, the most genuine family affection and the most beautiful love, which together wrapped up the heaviness of pain with warmth and love.
There is no doubt that Lu Tu and Ling Min are ordinary people, but they have tenacity and great qualities. They face the sufferings of life with a positive and brave attitude, and they also bring positive energy and warmth and healing to our audience. Emotional comfort.
Based on this, the aforementioned laughter becomes even more understandable. The seemingly absurd and illogical remarks of aliens are not the courage and hope of living that he weaves for himself. Who can bear it? Live to laugh at?
This kind of smile is not ridicule, but a smile of relief after receiving the transfer of energy.
For the editor personally, the clip of the two people using the walkie-talkie to encourage each other to "Oli give" seems to be a 2G surfing Internet problem being put on the big screen. In fact, it is very sincere, because the current situation is basically There is no need for a eloquent little composition to show your literary talent. A simple "Oliji" encouragement can go straight to the heart. Small words have great power.
If it weren't for the violation of public order and good customs, I would also like to follow them and shout "Oli is here". In fact, I also did so in my heart.
Strangely enough, in the same movie, laughing loudly and crying loudly have become a pair of non-contradictory emotional experiences. It is tear-jerking and makes people smile at the same time. This kind of emotional release is in "Shake". The movie "The Sun" was not abrupt during the viewing process. On the contrary, it successfully detoxified oneself and cleared away the gloomy emotions of the past year. It made people secretly resolve to live a happy life and show off their talents in the new year.
There is no doubt about the vigorous vitality in "Shaking the Sun". Even though Ling Min and Lu Tu were seriously ill, they still refused to compromise and did not give up. They bravely fought against fate, did not give up the hope of every life, and experienced life with their heart and lived well. This spirit of optimism is worthy of everyoneās reflection every day and put it into practical action in future life.
Now, in the first paragraph of the answer, the editor said that "the sudden enlightenment of finding the direction of life at the beginning of the new year" does not refer to any high achievements that must be achieved in the new year, nor does it refer to suddenly becoming rich and wealthy. I will return to my hometown during the next Spring Festival, but I have a very simple, simple and extremely firm wish - to live in the moment, cherish everyone around me, and greet every day with the most positive and optimistic attitude, Oli gives!
