Generally speaking, when the creator of the film draws up the title of the work, it will give it a double deep meaning, as director Wen Yan said when evaluating his work. "Carnival is meant to be a paradise for children’s joy." ", but Xiaowen, Xiaomi, and many other women who have not seen the world and have hidden their faces have been destroyed in this paradise. The carnival at that time has become a dream place for adults to indulge and indulge.
"Carnival" is still that "Carnival", people who come and go will change, the only constant is that it is given the original meaning of carrying the ideal starting point of a child's life. The film can also be regarded as the growth history of ordinary people, from ideal to pessimism, and finally to compromise with reality. Millet, Xiaowen, Lawyer Hao, and even us in life, have actually wandered here, but everyone ultimately stopped at a different destination.
The tearful transition and collapse from ideal to pessimism. The story of
began on a seemingly ordinary night. Xiaowen and her classmate Zhang Xinxin were taken by President Liu to a remote beach hotel for the night in the name of “playing”. Witnessed by Xiaomi, the registrar at the front desk for the shift. Not knowing that the two girls had been enveloped in danger, they were still playing around in the room innocently. Xiaowen also brought a gift from the president's godfather, silver wigs full of seduction like Marilyn Monroe.
On the second day, the abnormal reaction of the two girls with trance expressions and disheveled expressions when facing the teacher's question of "why did not hand in homework" aroused the teacher's alertness, and then the hospital's examination report "burned" everyone's eyes. The parents' anger and howling, Xiaowen crying because of ignorance, but innocent beauty was humiliated and judged. At that moment, Xiaowen's innocent child dream suffered a severe blow that she could not resist. The ideal of
is gradually disillusioned when it is not noticed.
Xiaowen’s mother’s brutal trampling of beauty seems to make her child’s dream impossible to reignite. After returned from the police station, Xiaowen's mother vented her distorted and suppressed anger on Xiaowen, where the Chinese clothes and long hair became an obscure symbol.
can get a glimpse into the single-parent living environment of Xiaowen and his mother from the words of her mother "like your wimpy dad". From the bottom of my heart, her mother has no sympathy for Xiaowen. She only thinks that Xiaowen is the product of the misery that life has imposed on her curvy body. Her love and beauty were rudely castrated by Xiaowen and social difficulties, just as President Liu did to Xiaowen.
She reflected the painful mental brutality of life on herself to Xiaowen, creating a brutal and opposite illusion. therefore ruined his mother's cosmetics indifferently and hollowly, and climbed out of the completely collapsed ideal world, hiding himself in the long and silent sadness.
people's instinct is to avoid pain and tend to happiness. In the process of falling into the abyss of sorrow, Xiaowen reviewed her once paradise. The door of the pessimistic world gradually opened to her, and the reality forced her to look up ahead. Because I knew and experienced it, I couldn't face it consciously.
The road where Xiaowen gets up early is no longer a bus ride to school. He would hide at the door and see Lawyer Hao turning around and running mad when talking with his father. At this time, Xiaowen, who was in the arms of Lawyer Hao, has not been completely swallowed up by grief, but the waves of life are always being fueled by waves. After Xiaowen's father was coerced by his boss to write a letter of undertaking, Zhang Xinxin's parents, on behalf of President Liu, and Xiaowen's father said and withdrew the lawsuit, the most fatal blow finally came.
At the press conference, the police captain Wang and the doctor lied to many media reporters with an examination report identified by Xiaowen and Zhang Xinxin, ignoring Xiaowen's father's sorrowful roar. This tragedy, which seemed like a farce, finally ended, and Xiaowen was awakened with a crash. What
pessimists and realists have in common is that they are soberly all-encompassing, but the complex nature of pessimism is pure, while realism breeds complexity among many chaos. But the children's world is black and white, and they cannot escape to the collapsed ideal paradise, nor can they bear the overwhelming truth. It seems that Xiaowen's tragic fate can only be buried with the collapse of the individual world.
The false class coat was crushedBroken, she was reborn in blood and grief
and the character of Xiaomi was endowed with multiple complexity by the screenwriter. Her essence revealed the naivety and innocence of children, but she was forced to earn a living at the bottom of society, and her past survival experience taught her Use clumsy means to integrate your needs into the transaction of adult society.
was the only witness who had video evidence on the night of the incident. When Mr. Hao asked the lawyer for the first time, Xiaomi exchanged the fragmentary facts that night as a channel to obtain money, only fifty yuan.
"Call me what you think of", "Will you give me money". Pretending to be old-fashioned means is actually inseparable from children's bluntness and roughness, thinking that they succeeded in asking for money. Money, money! You and I don't have to laugh at her snobbery and vulgarity, it's just the child's inadvertent immaturity to show viewers the hardships of living in society.
After meeting with Lawyer Hao at the hotel for the second time, Xiaomi caused a frantic revenge for the hotel and was forced to pack and leave. Flattery, compromise, and silence, when Xiaomi tried to become a member of the class, he was stripped of his shabby coat.
Under the temptation of huge business opportunities hidden behind the squeeze and obscene incidents on the brink of life, Xiaomi took the risk and sent a blackmail letter to Chairman Liu in an attempt to exchange 10,000 yuan for the ID card. When she took the money to find Ajie, who was applying for the permit, she was teased and increased the price "ten thousand yuan is enough, at least 16 thousand yuan". The teased Xiaomi was beaten all over by the thugs arranged by Chairman Liu on the way back. So far, Xiaomi took the initiative to contact Lawyer Hao for the first time in the clinic and handed over the video evidence that could knock down President Liu.
Gönitz Liszt mentioned in the book Hidden Motivation that the motivation behind to make people make this or that choice is human self-interest. Although Xiaomi's choice was not so pure, she finally realized when she watched the powerlessness and sorrow of others, and then suddenly suffered the pain and blood of being hit by a stick on her flesh.
Idealists who survive in reality, defeated by the checks and balances of reality
"How long have you been in this business", "have you been in this business for more than ten years", "Have you ever thought about changing your career?", "This type of case needs people to do it" , This is a dialogue between the police team Wang and Lawyer Hao at the end of the play. From the beginning to the end, Lawyer Hao exuded the brilliance of idealism. She was one of the main figures who promoted the development of the plot after Xiaowen, and indirectly changed the fate of Xiaomi. The reason why Lawyer Hao is not classified as a pure idealist is because he knows that Jiaojiao are vulnerable to corruption. Those who can stand for a long time, besides having firm ideals, must have other qualities that can support their beliefs. After
took over the case of the two girls Xiaowen and Zhang Xinxin, Lawyer Hao put the first point on Xiaowen’s mother. Perhaps this was her intuition and idealized judgment as a lawyer, but Xiaowen’s mother’s indifferent attitude, She can only focus on Xiaowen who is still in trauma. Attorney Hao is not a newcomer in the industry. She is well aware of the difficulties in handling this type of case, and also knows that the efforts and expectations put by the victim and herself can easily die out.
But idealists often go retrograde with everyone in reality, and this road upstream is destined to be muddy and bumpy. In the most straightforward evidence surveillance video, the most critical part was erased. Xiaomi, the only one with video evidence, refused to tell the truth for self-preservation. Zhang Xinxin's parents were bought to try to dissuade Xiaowen's father from withdrawing the lawsuit.
When Lawyer Hao finally surpassed all these difficulties and obstacles, he obtained the video evidence and handed it to the police station, preparing to apply for the detention of Chairman Liu. The actual force headed by President Liu suddenly reversed the whole situation with incredible force. At the press conference, unscrupulous gynecologists and police officers fabricated a false inspection report and announced to the media reporter that no indecent incident had occurred.
If the fate of a river crossing is destined to fall into the river and die, what is the point of wading and crossing the river? 's so-called idealistic shouts and rushes, pessimists try to pierce through the walls that trap themselves, but without realistic support, they will not be the beneficiaries of their lives after all.
I once thought, as an idealist, a pessimist, and a realist, why is the pessimist alone and finally collapsed and died. In fact, idealism contains more innocent beliefs. Realism wants more refined self-interest. Only pessimism. After the roads of advance and retreat are sealed, they are more soberly divided in a narrower world. From his chest, a beating heart went out to sacrifice to the truth. If the pace of development of
is to step on the silent grief of every such intellectual woman, and even suddenly feel that we should close our eyes and ears to be hand in hand with the peers in the so-called class, this is the greatest sadness.
