Unusual human fireworks "Hidden in the Dust"

's recent film " Hidden into the Dust and Smoke " has received rave reviews, with a score of 8 or 2, but today it was said to be taken off the shelves. Well, it's time to cool down. I watched the film carefully when it was released in August. It is indeed an excellent domestic literary film released this year.

wanted to write a film review for a long time, but I was too lazy to write it. Today I saw a lot of different voices on the Internet. There are many slanderous words about the film. They said that the film smeared and smeared the countryside. I don’t know how it became popular. Baba's character design does not match the actual rural life, it is not real, it does not match the actual Gaotai Village in Zhangye District, Gansu Province, what caters to the taste of Westerners and vilifies Chinese farmers, etc... I really don't know what this kind of denunciation looks like issued by a kind of person? And it's not a minority, there are quite a few people who are questioning the movie.

to see some representative remarks, I found two legends on the Internet

What does the film say is an overhead pseudo-realism theme, donkey carts, forks, sickles reaping wheat, and brick and earth building to stop the depiction of China's rural areas the 19th century. Now in the new countryside, there are combine harvesters everywhere during the wheat harvest season, saying that the director is a petty bourgeois young man who constructs a false story according to his own understanding of suffering...

This film is the result of director Li Ruijun's in-depth understanding of the countryside. And the script written by the feelings, the film very realistically depicts the sympathy story of two low-level characters in the remote rural villages in the northwest. The countryside has become a hidden corner of people's hearts. Those who have not experienced it cannot be told, and those who have experienced do not want to say it. The editor and director have been very experienced, so he wrote this story, worked hard to film it and got the public's attention. empathizes with , how can it become the middle class and petty bourgeoisie in the eyes of some people? ? ? Suffering should not be spilled but not ignored. The director did not use extreme drama to cover up suffering and indifference of human nature, nor did he disdain to use warmth to render despair. He just calmly recorded how two lonely farmers died. The whole story is not overflowing with tragedy. romanticism , such as those shots, two people sitting on the sand dunes eating twist, looking forward to a better life in the future on the kang, waiting for the joy of the chicks to break out of their shells, jumping into the canal to take a bath on a midsummer night, Using the grain of wheat to press the imprint of the flower on the back of the hand, etc., are all the director's use of romanticism to fully explain the land without romance and try his best to depict the slightest warmth. It also takes a lot of courage! In the middle of the film, the scene of sowing and harvesting in rural wheat fields is depicted with a large amount of warm tones. Don't we feel the fragrance of wheat and grass? Not feeling the romantic rustic atmosphere? Ploughing, sowing and harvesting Although there is no tractor , harvester and no modern farming tools, is it not enough for a donkey and two people to plough, sow, and harvest wheat? Isn't it real? Are you smearing the countryside? What a lot of people see is just bitter Ma Youtie and Gui Ying who use mules and to plough the land and build their own houses with great effort. They don't see that the lives of other people in the village are still very good. They go to the next house to watch TV. , many people are harvesting with tractors, which not only reflects the fact that the local rural areas are not so poor, and most people have already been lifted out of poverty. It's just that the two protagonists live in poverty. The film does not exaggerate the suffering too much, but only depicts the fate of the two humble characters at the bottom of the countryside. Many people say that there is no such thing in the countryside today. , I can only say hehe, no one who has really lived in the countryside does not say that the filming is true and credible, I think maybe only those people who sit in the office with tea and read newspapers are criticizing here. , criticizing the film's inauthenticity to vilify the peasants' rhetoric. In a story like , how can a person who has a relatively better fate, a healthy body, a happy life, and does not worry about eating and drinking freely, can experience the desolation, feel the heavy and sadness of the soul, and reflect on his own life? There are also many netizens who commented that Cao Guiying fell into the canal and no one rescued him. This is impossible in the countryside, and the villagers cannot be so indifferent! ? In the film, when Ma Youtie came back, an old man said to him, Guiying got up and fell into the water in order to bring you lunch, Lao Wang and the others went to fetch it, and then Ma Youtie ran to get out of the water. I picked up Guiying, here I thinkIt is said that the director handled the scene rationally and objectively. why? Because there were old men and old ladies standing by the canal, and there were no young people. It was in line with the situation at the time. All the young people went out to work. None of these old men in the village could swim. This is a fact. The water was in a hurry, and the person was washed away quickly after falling. If there was a wooden stick or rope or something, it might have been able to save the person, but it was not there at the time. What is seen in the video is a group of people standing on the edge of the canal watching, one of the old men in a wheelchair holding a half-loaded wooden stick in his hand, this does not mean that the villagers are ruthless and desperate, It can't be saved, it can't be saved. Pharaoh went to save him, but he didn't save him.

lost Gui Ying's Ma Youtie as if he had lost his soul, and he lost the courage to continue living. Before he met Gui Ying, he lived like a donkey , but when he met Gui Ying After that, it showed a completely different state, like the activated motor running. With a home and a woman, all the potential of a man is released. Many people say that after Ma Youtie married a wife, it was like a different person. He was so capable, he would not have been so poor before, and he should have been working for his third brother for a long time without a home, but in fact, this situation is easy to explain But, because his parents and two eldest brothers have died a long time ago, maybe there is an explanation to let him and the third brother have copper together, and he doesn't want to go against his parents' wishes. (Including many reasons not to discuss this topic). There is only one person in your heart that can live well. Now that the person who brought him the light is gone, he has no soul. It released the donkey, paid off all the debts and favors, went home and sat on the kang, drank the pesticide, and swallowed the egg that Guiying did not deliver to him. He swallowed all the hardships in his life and followed Guiying with the little straw donkey. The film gives people a great sadness and touch here. Maybe this is the power of tragedy! It is impossible for all movies to just sing praises of virtue and promote the main theme. It should have the mission and orientation of criticizing reality, revealing suffering and exploring truth, and conveying the truth, the good, the beautiful and the ugly. This is the cognition and meaning that the movie finally brings to people. The film "Hidden in the Dust" powerfully criticizes and exposes the ugliness and indifference of human nature in reality, and also focuses on depicting and praising Chinese farmers like Ma Youtie, who is simple, trustworthy, and hard-working. Although the fate of poverty is ups and downs, his yearning for a better life and the bottom line dignity of life have not been forgotten or lost. The brilliance of humanity that he brings out is more admirable and sighing than those who sucked his blood and exploited him. It is undoubtedly a kind of courage to romanticize the land without romance, but when romance and despair collide, an unprecedented power bursts out. He becomes a poem that grows from the soil and a flower that blooms from the ashes. The ultimate despair and deep romance complement each other. When everything is unspeakable, the word fate becomes the only one that can be spoken. All language is so pale in the face of fate. That's what this film is trying to express! It's a pity that many people can't understand it! Finally, I quoted the line of Ma Youtie in the film, a grain of wheat, what can I say?

We must have the courage to record suffering and criticize reality. How many Chinese and foreign artists use movies to show this colorful world, comedy, tragedy, farce, black and white not all truly reveal people's joys, sorrows and joys, so there are so many begging foreigners to win awards? What slander and smear words are there. How many works of literary masters do not use the dark reality they depict to illuminate the darkness before our eyes! A "Hidden in the Dust" is just a grain of malt for Chinese movies. A true film will never be hidden in the dust, but should be remembered and pondered by more people!
