1905 Movie Network News On March 25, the movie "Under the Sun" exposed the hidden truth poster, which directly exposed the shocking details of violence in disabled homes. No elderly or children escaped the violence and abuse. The film is produced by Er Dongsheng, directed by Jian Junjin, and stars David Jiang, Yu Xiangning and Lin Baoyi. Leung Chung Hang, Chen Zhanwen, Zhou Hanning, Leung Yongting, Gong Ci'en, Bao Peiru, Zhu Baiqian, Zhu Pakang, Xu Yuexiang and many other actors have joined the cast. It will be officially released nationwide on April 12.
The film focuses on neglected residential homes for the disabled, revealing the inhuman experiences of disadvantaged groups, and intervenes from the perspective of a reporter to launch a profound reflection on social reality. The new "Hidden Truth" version of the poster is very different from the previous posters. It looks at the cruel abuse experienced by the vulnerable groups in the film from a bystander's perspective.
The poster uses a DV camera as a medium, implying that somewhere invisible to the naked eye, there will eventually be someone who insists on recording the truth of what happened, and shows in detail the violence they endured when they were weak and unable to fight. During the day, a group of elderly people were collectively pushed to an open-air rooftop, naked, tied to chairs, and rinsed with cold water. This was the so-called bathing in the institution. It showed no dignity and was very sad. Ming Tsai had an iron nail driven into his arm with a stapler by a caregiver, and the mottled scars on his body also concretely expressed the unfair treatment he received. The helpless octogenarians huddled together for warmth in a disabled home, staring at their deceased old friend, calm and speechless. The shabby and moldy wallpaper showed loneliness and powerlessness. The girl whose mouth was covered was not only unable to resist when she was violated, she was even unable to make a sound. Thousands of words turned into deafening silence.
The caregivers here may have been kind, but they eventually became cruel, ruthless, and insensitive. Facing a large number of disabled residents with only a few caregivers, their psychology becomes increasingly distorted under the pressure all day long. But this does not justify doing evil. Every scene in the film makes people feel deeply angry and unfair. It also reflects that in front of vulnerable groups, some people's shameless and bullying behavior is not even for evil, but simply does not put the other party on an equal footing with themselves, and Subconsciously ignore and discount their feelings.
"Under the Day" has already launched its first round of screenings in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The audience fell into deep thinking after the film ended. What should we do in the face of helplessness? Perhaps never ignoring is a good start.
"Under the Day" will be released nationwide on April 12.
