It is the graduation season again, and another group of people will leave the ivory tower and step into the colosseum called "society".
"Go to a big city to study, or go back to a small city to sleep" has also become a dilemma that troubles many people.
But according to the advice of the dean, there is no need to worry too much.
Because when you become a senior migrant worker, you will find that "you can't win and you can't lie flat" is the real pain of breathing.
Don’t believe it?
Below, I invite the crispy young man Wu Di, aka my cyber double, to give you his own experience -
" stop and go "
01 "Atypical" family
Every wanderer who is wandering around has probably heard it from his parents. Such words: "It's okay to go out and see the world. When you get tired, go home. Anyway, your parents are here."
However, after more than ten years of drifting in Beijing, Wu Di (Hu) finally couldn't get enough of it and decided to go back to his hometown to seek development. Song ), suddenly found that his family's words and deeds did not seem to be consistent.
The gentle and considerate mother in my memory spoke the truth with her open mouth:
The father who was supposed to be generous and stalwart actually had a bit of philosophy when he complained:
Even his sister, who also stayed in her hometown to work, was very kind to him. 100% disgusted, no "respect for elders" spirit at all.
How do you live your life like this?
Wu Di said: Let me lie down first and then talk about
...fine.
As I saw the poster trailer before, I knew that "Stop and Go" is a family portrait film. I just didn't expect that this family of four would be so "wild".
Father Wu Mingfa (played by Zhou Yemang) and mother Jiang Meiling (played by Yue Hong) vividly interpret a unconventional parental love.
One hides private money, and the other sees through it but doesn't reveal it.
My mother was very happy to work with an actor she has had a crush on for many years. The father was crazy and jealous, but was secretly exposed by the other party that he had a "love" behind his back.
is so popular that Wu Di, a man who has seen the world, can't keep up with the rhythm.
’s younger sister Wu Shuang (played by Jin Jing) is a taxi driver, aka a black hottie, a fitness guru, and a national first-level contestant.
showed off his fitness routine and scared the "weak" old man to the point where he didn't dare to grab the lower bunk.
turned into a master of prediction at the dinner table, responding to his father's nagging while observing the other party's anger gauge. When he sees a bad situation, he uses his hands and feet to stop the violent table-turning behavior and maintains family harmony. +1 merit.
More often, she doesn't even bother to speak.
Just wearing various attitude T-shirts and hitting that pestle can hurt people invisible, and it can be called my crazy mouth substitute.
In comparison, Wu Di, who has just achieved "escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", seems a bit unremarkable.
To put it bluntly, he is good at making the best use of and . For example, use the refrigerator as a bookshelf and use a kettle to grow flowers.
Be filial to your parents. The specific manifestation is that he takes the initiative to hand over living expenses in front of the camera, focusing on borrowing and repaying, but it is too difficult to pay them back.
has a good attitude.
Life gave me a punch, and I just lay down.
If there is no suitable job, then queue up to get a free egg first.
While watching the movie, I could not count how many times I was made to laugh and cry because of the daily interactions of this family.
And these laughs are not the ones caused by deliberate jokes or sketches.
The reason is that laughter is not an emotion, joy is .
"crazy" or "wild" is just a comedic expression. What really affects us and makes us smile is the "realism" of videos rooted in ordinary life and full of fireworks.
In real family life, who doesn’t have a little thought and secret of their own?
The husband and wife have never been so passionately in love with each other, but they have always used their own ways to care about each other and love each other deeply.
Relatives can quarrel with each other without any scruples, which just shows the intimacy and relaxation of the family atmosphere.
said he despised his son's incompetence, but he honestly picked up some good wine and asked friends to help introduce him to work. This is the secret and silent of fatherly love.
lives around daily life, but he took the initiative to regain his former "stage dream" and acted as the heroine in his son's movie. She is a hard-working mother who also has an independent self.
's healthy and comfortable family atmosphere also gave Wu Di and Wu Shuang, two brothers and sisters, the confidence to face life calmly without anxiety or internal friction.
Real family life is never a perfect and affectionate model drama, and there is no escape from trivial matters.
Although the director and screenwriter are newcomers, they accurately captured the subtle rough edges of the conflict and harmony of Chinese-style families, and presented them vividly, allowing the laughter to flow naturally.
This can be called "advanced comedy" .
02 Light "spot" essence
On the surface, "Stop and Go" is a very anti-internal film.
In this era where success is paramount and there is no best volume, only more volume, it proposes another option in life -
If you can't walk anymore, then stop and rest for a while.
But in the eyes of the dean, this is the most courageous thing about him.
Is Wu Di a successful person in the secular sense?
is definitely not.
I have been drifting in Beijing for more than ten years, with no money and no house. After struggling to break into the big city, he drifted back to his hometown.
But he's a loser?
I don’t think so either.
He is just like thousands of tired social animals, temporarily stuck in the gap between ideal and reality.
This representativeness is the fundamental reason why after meeting high school classmate Feng Liuliu (played by Gao Yuanyuan), the other party wanted to shoot a documentary with him as the protagonist.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a movie like this that focuses on healing, but also has zero chicken soup and no preaching.
I’m already tired from doing the daily chores. Watching the movie’s protagonist suddenly wake up and pursue worldly success is no longer the best choice for social animals during their holidays.
More often, we just want to escape reality for a short time, and want someone to tell us: just being alive is already great.
"Stop and Go" accurately captures this contradictory "burning and mourning duality" of .
What Feng Liuliu recorded was not only Wu Di's life, but also ours -
is no longer curled up, but it is not completely flat either. After
returned home, he was still looking for a job that suited him.
I know that I can live a stable life from 9 to 5 if I take the job my parents find, but I am not willing to spend my life in such a trouble-free life.
's original script was recognized by his family and friends, so he geared up to continue pursuing his unfinished dream.
is useless, but definitely not useless.
Buying a sumptuous breakfast but dropping a fried dough stick, reaching for your mobile phone with your feet when you are too lazy to get up, waiting in a long line to receive free gifts... Everyone may have experienced this kind of decline or decadence, as well as the petty greed for cheapness.
But when I go shopping with my mother to buy groceries, I will also take the initiative to carry the bags. The five hundred yuan that
kept privately turned out to be used to repair a window that had been broken for a long time at home.
No matter how he is ridiculed, he always has a smile on his face, and sometimes he becomes the "King of Death Pretenders". In fact, he is secretly competing in his heart, preparing to amaze everyone...
is sometimes confused and sometimes sober.
We stop and go, but we always move forward.
The reason why "Stop and Go" feels healing is that it never points out "what you should do." Instead,
uses a playful and self-deprecating way to address the pain points of young people and at the same time give voice to profound and serious topics.
Let us see, "What else can you do."
Stopping does not mean lying down, sometimes it just means changing your mood and enjoying the scenery along the way.
No car does not need to be refueled. Going to the gas station several times is just to go further.
Just as mother Jiang Meiling said when comforting Wu Di -
The most important thing is to know who you are.
For a social animal with a "class taste", is there any antidote that is more considerate, warmer, and more effective in curing illnesses?
03 Events in life
I have always liked the slogan of the video:
Allow everything to happen and be a brave and happy person.
When I first read this sentence, I thought it was a hope that everyone could be like Wu Di and face the troughs and setbacks at work calmly. But after watching the whole film, I realized that it is not just about career, but also about life.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, love, hate and separation are all impermanent.
This impermanence is reflected in Wu Di’s mother Jiang Meiling.
Wu Di is the bright star of the movie, portraying the plight of young people around the age of 35.
Jiang Meiling is the hidden thread of the movie. She represents the life of our parents, the previous generation.
A retired housewife who looks ordinary, takes care of all the housework at home, and is always busy until she is the last one to put food on the table. Occasionally, I take advantage of it and go to the mall to get a free massage chair...
This is the first impression Jiang Meiling gave us.
But when Wu Di's film started filming and she stood in front of the camera as the heroine, everyone was shocked that mothers can also be beautiful.
She can act and dance.
is always smiling while doing what he truly loves.
She is not anxious or internally distraught, and can honestly say, "When people reach my age, they will naturally be able to act."
She is optimistic and open-minded, and dares to face her past of choosing an easier path because of fear of difficulties, and gave up studying at the Beijing Dance Academy. .
She never regrets and beautifies the life that another path may bring to her.
This happy-go-lucky attitude has also affected her family.
Wu Di's film career is still continuing, but Jiang Meiling's departure brought the filming to an abrupt end.
However, even for this major life event, video processing is extremely calm and restrains . There was no complaining about each other, no crying over each other, and no excessive exaggeration of sadness or inciting the audience's emotions.
life is going down as always, and will not press the stop button because of anyone's departure.
But that kind of continuous silent pain hits the heart of every audience with great stamina.
When Wu Di lay down on the massage chair, his eyes were slightly closed, he didn't speak, and he didn't shed any tears.
Only the rustling vibration of the machine seemed to be sobbing on his behalf.
Life may not go according to your script.
is like the long traffic jam at the end of the film, everyone is driving on their own road. You never know when you will be stuck, when someone will pass you by, or when you will leave others behind.
What we can do is allow everything to happen and remember all the losses.
Then, step on the accelerator, follow your own rhythm, and keep moving forward.
uses humor to laugh at himself and deconstruct life issues. Be able to be calm and self-controlled and face the uncertainties of the world.
Light and healing, good medicine but not bitter.
When I walked into the cinema during the Dragon Boat Festival, I just wanted to laugh out loud and cure myself of my unhappy "Biard", but I didn't expect that my "Ben" who was suffering from endless internal friction would also be cured at the same time. I felt warm after watching the corpse.
can only say, thank you to the crew of "Stop and Go" for peeking into my life.
This 103-minute treatment is worth it!
