This film has won 12 nominations for the Hong Kong Film Awards and 7 nominations for the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. Dongyu Zhou and Ma Sichun have become the Golden Horse Movie together. Rear. At that time, this film was also described by Chen Kexin as the best film he produced, and it was also called by the audience as the female-themed film that knew girls best.
The Douban score of the film is 7.6. Although the film is so popular, I think this score is still low. It should be worth 8 points. I think the low rating of this movie is based on the fact that the movie will be amazing and beautiful when it is just watched, but there are logical loopholes. When you recollect and think carefully, you find that you need a second brush to understand it slightly, and then recollect and think again and have new feelings and emotions. The first time
watched "July and Ansheng" for the first time, the rating of 7.6 was reasonable, but left too many questions. The first time
saw 7.6, it was for the unknowingly exchange of identities in the movie. The creative exchange of life in China.
An Sheng was originally a tragic character. He had a bad family relationship since childhood, no one loved him, and was rebellious. July is a typical good girl, she studies well, works carefully and does not make mistakes. But together, they fell in love with a scumbag, Jiaming, who was so interesting to everyone. As a result, An Sheng wandered away alone in order to let the scumbag give his good sister.
But the male protagonist wanted to look at the outside world, and finally met An Sheng who was lonely and wandering in Beijing. In July, he discovered that Jia Ming had taken An Sheng, and set Jia Ming to go home and marry him within one month. Jia Ming went back, but ran away on the day of his wedding. In a small place, this would give July a bad reputation and gossip. From then on, he began to wander around in July, but An Sheng settled down in Beijing. The fate of
was like this. The situation of the two people was perfectly reversed. Finally, in July, they were pregnant with Jia Ming's child on the eve of their wedding, and died of bleeding after giving birth. Ansheng raised the child in July. Back to the beginning of the movie, An Sheng and Jia Ming met. An Sheng told Jia Ming that this was his and July’s child, but instead of telling him that July was dead, he told him to continue wandering after giving birth in July. The above
is the shortest description of the plot I can think of. It’s best to watch the movie to understand it. Anyway, after watching the first time, I feel that the movie is really good-looking and wonderful. The concept of exchanging life is great. It is simply a genius and creativity. But after watching it, boys in particular will have a lot of logical questions. Let's deconstruct them one by one and take a look at the highlights of this movie. How did
exchange the concept of life?
Actually, this creative idea is not in the original book. This movie is adapted from the novel of the same name and the author is Baby Annie. The overall framework of the film comes from the adaptation of Hong Kong novelist Lin Yongchen, and the concept of exchange of life also comes from her. In order to make the whole story more detailed and fuller, three screenwriters Wu Nan, Xu Yimeng and Li Yuan were added. After four adaptations of
, in fact, the frame of the whole movie is quite different from the original, including the ending. But it is precisely because of the meticulous polishing of the four screenwriters that the story tension of the entire script and the thousands of changes in the plot will become more exciting, which can be regarded as a successful example of IP adaptation.
When I was a child, July and An Sheng, who is the devil behind
actually hinted when An Sheng went to eat at July’s house. July may not be as well-behaved and perfect as it seems on the surface. Because when I was eating buns, July picked up a bun, pried the meat out, and put the bun skin back on the plate. Later, when her parents scolded her, she put it back. An Sheng saw that she had given up the meat to July. She herself said that she didn't like to eat fatty meat, only skin.
So this detailed picture reflects that July actually has her own private side. She has always been pretending to be cute, but in fact, she also hopes to push good things on her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be good friends with Ann. An Sheng is mischievous and has no friends in school. Only July loves her to play with her. In fact, July enjoys An Sheng's rebellion to a certain extent, and then she does not need to bear the consequences, it is all An Sheng did.
So in the following July, when she wandered away, the real she was revealed. In her body lived a July yearning for freedom.
After An Sheng discovered that Jia Ming liked him, whyAbout to wander? Go so thoroughly? Does she really love Jiaming? If
is a boy, probably starting from this part, it will feel more and more strange, because everything will become less logical from here on.
An Sheng wanted to cede Jia Ming to July, so he chose to walk away and go to Beijing to find the guitarist who pursued her. It stands to reason that An Sheng and Jia Ming have nothing to do with each other, and they have said two sentences. As a result, Jia Ming likes An Sheng and can explain it, but An Sheng also loves Jia Ming so deeply.
Why does An Sheng love Jiaming very much? Because of the jade pendant that Jiaming gave her, she accepted wearing it and kept wearing it. This jade pendant was seen at the train station in July, and it also became the beginning of a crack in the relationship between the two sisters.
And, even if you want your boyfriend to give your girlfriend, is it necessary to go far? Moreover, An Sheng’s nature is to seek stability, but he chose the most wandering life. Is everything just for the fulfillment of July? Okay, but maybe only female audiences can understand this logic.
When Jia Ming returned from Beijing to marry July, why did Jia Ming escape? Why did Jiaming escape marriage in July? Seeing this in the
movie, I am even more puzzled. At first I thought Jia Ming was a fighter among scumbags, and he agreed to marry someone else, but then suddenly left. There is no need to toss like this, just don’t come back. , Is it to humiliate July?
was approaching the ending part later, and we only learned that it was July that let him leave because July was going to pursue his freedom. To be honest, this paragraph of
needs to think a little bit, and a little bit we need to find reasons to support the behavior in July. According to my understanding, July may have hidden her yearning for freedom since she was a child, but An Sheng's postcards full of freedom and interest are stimulating her. Ansheng is colorful, and it stays the same day after day in July. When Jia Ming came back and appeared in front of her, she couldn't stop crying, but perhaps at that moment, she realized that she was tired of everything, including Jia Ming. She hoped that Jia Ming would marry her, but it was only for her own sake. It's just possessive, in fact, she doesn't need it. What she needs is to walk away and walk through An Sheng's wandering life.
can only be understood in this way, but I don't think it is reasonable. I can only say that whether it is July or Ansheng, they are rare strange women in the world.
I am pregnant in July, why go to An Sheng instead of my parents? Where did my parents go?
When I found An Sheng in July and was lying on the bed together, An Sheng asked Qi Yue why he was looking for her. July said that An Sheng is the only one who loves her. But obviously not, because there are parents in July.
And just because of regretting the marriage once, and no face, will you not let your daughter go wandering alone? Parents who respect their children's wishes are too hard to find. And after pregnancy in July, even if you don’t think about it for yourself, you still have to think about the child in your stomach? Is it safer to find the child’s parents-in-law? The behavior of
is also difficult to get reasonable support. It can only be said that the idea of July is very unusual. If you really have to find a reason, it is to feel that returning to your hometown with a child will make your parents even less face.
died of heavy bleeding in July, why is the July death notice not given to family members? Why can children in July be raised by strangers? The logical question of
is also the question raised by the largest audience. Will the director leave such an obvious loophole for everyone to pick? When she died in July, her parents must sign the death notice, and even if the child is handed over to Ansheng to raise her, her parents-in-law must agree to her. And it is estimated that the parents in July will not agree that raising a child is not a trifling matter, and his grandson must be raised by himself.
So the question is, if An Sheng can really raise this child, is this child a July child? Or is this the child of An Sheng and Jia Ming? The beginning of the novel at the beginning of the
movie is not the same as the beginning of the novel at the end. Who wrote the novel?
At the beginning of the movie: "When I was 13 years old, I met An Sheng for the first time in July..." At the end of the movie, An Sheng mentioned the beginning of another version of the novel: "Wandering July I know that the person who stepped on her shadow one day when she looked back must be the An Sheng who has already lived a happy life..."
There is another very strange point, that is, at the beginning of the movie, An Sheng heard about it. "July and Ansheng" thisWhen she was writing a novel, she went online to search for the novel. At the end of the movie, it was said that An Sheng's pen name was July, and "July and An Sheng" was written by her. This is a logical contradiction. In the novel part of
movies, there is often a switch between the angle of Ansheng and the angle of July. It seems that two people are telling the story at the same time, instead of one party writing it as the first person. This makes people suspect that July and An Sheng are actually the authors of the novel, or there are two versions, and the writing time is different.
At the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Ma Sichun said, "July and An Sheng were originally the same person", perhaps providing another way of thinking
Ma Sichun's speech can actually give another explanation. July and An Sheng were originally the same person. , Chen Kexin said that this movie itself is not actually a youth romance film, but about women's lives. July and An Sheng are like two sides of the same person.
When I was a child, July represented restraint, and Ansheng represented nature. Xiao Qiyue and Xiao Ansheng looked at each other's bodies, in fact, it was like a child who felt novel about his own body since childhood, only expressed through two characters. After
fell in love in July, she seemed restrained, but was actually very brave and direct. She told Jia Ming directly that she liked him. On the other hand, An Sheng chose to give in, with a little low self-esteem. In the words of July, why would An Sheng compete with her.
The wandering peace, lack of material, living in a tight life, but the heart is free and unrestrained, and happy with sex. In the stable July, life was stable, but depressed. Even when Jia Ming went to Beijing, she could only choose to wait, waiting for someone to give her a result. The subsequent exchange of life is like describing the conversion of people’s desires. In fact, no one is satisfied with what they are now, and they want to switch to the other side of life, but after the exchange, it may not be the life they really want. Some living beings are still suffering. meaning. The final outcome of
, the same person, a different life, a different ending. There is a happy ending, a regretful ending, and a stubbornness to leave the grief to oneself forever. This is life. No one knows the result and can only make every choice bravely. The movie is said to have a fourth ending. An Sheng didn't go to Jia Ming at the beginning. Everything was fake. The three finally parted ways. The story only exists in the novel. This is also a result of life. But the audience felt a little clouded after watching it, so they deleted it.
If July and An Sheng are understood to be the same person, all the previous logical doubts will no longer be a problem, but a different life with different dimensions of self, making different choices.
actually has a second idea. This movie reminds me of Jet Li’s "The King of Adventure"
. As mentioned above, who wrote "July and Ansheng" seems to have some logical loopholes. And this movie reminds me of Jet Li’s "The King of Adventure", where the novelist and the characters in the novel are repeatedly switching, and the novelist is looking for the true self in the novel story. The movie
is much more complicated than "The King of Adventure". If there is a problem with the logic of Anson's search for "July and Anson" at the beginning, then which part of the whole movie is reality and which part is the novel?
If the scene of adopting a child at the end of Ansheng does not conform to the logic of reality, is it possible that it is also fake? Maybe we still haven't seen the truth.
I think this logic is feasible, that is, there are real parts in the whole movie, and there are also parts in the novel, and it may not only be a version of the novel, but also the lies of the characters, cut from multiple dimensions. The story finally became the "July and Ansheng" we saw. It also represents an ideology, a person's choice of life, her favorite choice and ending.
And the right to choose the final presentation is to try the audience. The ending of this movie has been modified many times and adjusted according to the audience’s response. If you follow this logic, it is very reasonable. The audience sees these slices. The ending that I want to see most, maybe it is not necessarily logical in the end.
Reality and novels have been switched multiple times. There are novels in reality and novels in novels, which is infinitely reasonable.
This movie is good-looking, but male audiences must try to put down the two words of logic, emphasizing that it is not sexism, but thinking inertia. Women rarely talk about logic
and the two ways to straighten out the logic of the movie. They are for reference only, maybe Everyone has a different understanding. But there is a general suggestion for watching movies. If you are a man, it is best to put down the word logic. The movie
itself is a female movie, and many female audiences feel it resonates after watching it, which shows that the thinking of the movie conforms to the inertia of female thinking. And we have found in real life that women’s thinking inertia is sensual and jumpy. Sometimes they make some decisions that do not have a “because of what” logic. They just do it like that without why.
So if you watch this movie with this mentality, you won't have so many questions, and you can better feel the core idea of the movie.
Conclusion
The quality of a movie has a certain relationship with the content and the amount of thoughts it contains in a limited time. Obviously, this "July and Ansheng" was filmed with content and depth, and it is a memorable one. good movie. If you have only watched it once, I suggest you come to a second brush in your free time, maybe you have a new look and feel. Life is a topic that is always talked about, never finished, and always relished, and "July and Ansheng" is an interesting story about life.
