" Hidden in the Dust " is so fascinating.
At first, many people sang bad, and the theater line also stopped early.
and even many large platforms can already start watching online. As a low-cost production movie with a cost of only 2 million, only Haiqing is a professional actor, and the others are all down-to-earth farmers.
It doesn't have any announcement fees, and it doesn't even have those special effects. It doesn't even need better clothes. In order to pick up this drama,
Haiqing put forward another commercial film, with zero pay to play this film, knowing that the final box office of
may be a film that cannot even win back the cost.
Now they win. The 104 million box office crushed many literary films, which changed the sluggish situation of the literary film market.
Facts have proved that as long as the movie is good, there is no shortage of box office.
Looking at so many movies, there are very few descriptions of what is actually happening in the countryside.
So many people have long forgotten that there are more than 600 million farmers, and their days are still in dire straits.
Their monthly income may not be 1000, they are living a sad life with meager money.
There are also experts who let farmers drive home and buy houses in the county town, and even think that farmers are too lazy to be poor.
They think that when the seeds are sown in the ground, there will be a great harvest. In their free time, they can do other things and make money.
Is this true? Who knows the suffering of peasants?
"Hidden in the Dust" mainly tells the story of Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying, who were abandoned by their native families, and live a very hard life in the northwest countryside.
As they get along constantly, they feel a little happiness in ordinary life.
But after Cao Guiying drowned on the way to find Ma Youtie who went out, all happiness came to an abrupt end.
I am not afraid of being alone, but I am afraid of those who have been with me and lost. After
lost Cao Guiying, Ma Youtie chose to commit suicide by drinking pesticides. The irony of
is that even if Ma Youtie dies, his brother is still using his quota for destitute households to buy good commercial housing.
also told the reporters who interviewed them: After that, Ma Youtie will be taken to live in a new house, and he will be given pension.
Many people commented on this film as saying that China has entered an era of bad sales.
It seems that only a bad sell can make the film win awards abroad.
I don't rule out that the director has this reason, but I still hope that there will be many movies in the future that can focus on farmers.
Second,
Li Ruijun made confusing remarks. He felt that in rural areas, men are easy to be left, but women are not easy to be left, so it is easy to say: women have a gender advantage in rural areas.
In fact, the public is well aware of the reasons for this.
Because of family planning , and 's concept of patriarchal , many girls have no chance of surviving at all.
Even if they survive, they are not paid attention to by their family members. Most of them are beaten and scolded, so they continue to work and pay for their families.
These are not gender advantages either.
I remember reading a news before. The girl worked as a coolie since she was a child to support her two brothers to study. Her parents never cared about her. Later, she went to college for her two brothers and chose to sell blood directly. And the two brothers never felt that her contribution was deserved. They didn't feel much until the girl died from excessive blood loss and exhaustion.
Similarly, from the background of the film:
Cao Guiying was beaten because of her lame legs. From a mental point of view, she should be extremely disgusted, and she has been abused since she was a child..
Now that her brother is getting married, her burden will be dealt with, the sooner the better.
Then she was told to an old man, with a family of four walls and only one donkey, which was extremely disgusting.
Does she agree that other people care, no.
has iron for a horse with only one donkey, at least his character is still very good. After
got married, they started living together.
looked at the extremely dull horse and iron, but did not expect to be so attentive to others.
He will make steamed buns for Cao Guiying before going out and let her eat them while it's hot.
He washes her pants after she wets them.
He would protect her when she was laughed at.
Cao Guiying slowly began to care about Ma Youtie:
When he didn't return late at night, she would go out to find him and bring him hot water.
Ordinary people, ordinary happiness.
But just as life was getting better and better, a foreman in the village fell ill. The villagers were afraid that the rich man would not pay them back, so they asked everyone to donate blood to him.
did not expect that only Ma Youtie meets the requirements, because what is needed is panda blood.
The foreman's son wanted to compensate Ma Youtie a little, but Ma Youtie didn't want it.
Ma Youtie wanted to buy a coat for Cao Guiying, but had no money, so he had to give up.
At this time, the rich son paid for Ma Youtie, but Ma Youtie must say that he borrowed the money and would pay it back later. After
, every once in a while, he gets blood drawn.
After a strong man gets blood drawn many times and his nutrition can't keep up, his body will collapse.
Ironically, they took his blood and thought it was dirty.
After drawing blood, let the nurse directly check whether there is an infectious disease.
drove them over and covered the car with plastic wrap , for fear that they would get dirty in his car.
The good life of the peasants is extremely difficult because the dirt houses they live in are so poor.
was asked to tear it down and have them rebuild the house.
Ma Youtie finally built adobe bricks but was destroyed by a big thunderstorm.
The hemp ropes are cut at the finer points, and the bad luck chooses the hard ones.
They have to start all over again.
Ma Youtie is very sad about Cao Guiying's death.
But the villagers comforted him: anyway, you have food and a house to live in, and her death will not affect you.
Ma Youtie didn't say anything. He just calculated silently and exchanged the things he owed the villagers one by one.
then sold all his food.
Someone asked him: Do you want to save some to eat?
no more, all sold.
Next is why farmers' income is so low.
You see that your wheat is 1824 jins
remove the water to give you 1700 jins
buds are 3997 jins
remove the water and count as 3800 jins?
4 blocks don't need it, the whole number is easy to calculate
's annual income is only 3900 yuan, and then he has to pay the bills.
is also the
of your village folks
from the beginning of the spring to now, the chemical fertilizers
pesticide seeds
1510 yuan
autumn vegetables seeds are 60 yuan
is 1570 yuan in total piece.
What's the money for?
Nobody cares.
Today, I am selling grain with milk, and a pound is 1.45 yuan.
tell a joke, a pound of grain is less expensive than a bottle of mineral water.
That's how farmers are still working diligently to farm without complaining.
3. Li Ruijun, director of
"Hidden in the Dust" : "Since ancient times, it seems that the identity of a farmer has never been given due respect... People in the future want to understand this era, and then they see handsome men and beautiful women talking on the screen. Love, this is the sadness of this generation of filmmakers. "
As a movie, I believe many people don't like it because it doesn't laugh or burst into tears like other movies, and many people commented that they watched this There is no ups and downs in the heart of the film.
I actually watched this movie, my eyes were sore when Cao Guiying died, and I didn't feel anything else, because many people are not as good as Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying.
There are many women who have not been treated well in their husband's family, and even beat or scolded.
still has a lot of abilities that are not as strong as horses and irons, can't build houses, and don't have such great abilities.
There is another big reason, and naturally it also has a big impact.
Once there is drought or flooding, crops may be greatly reduced or not harvested, so what should farmers who have no other source of income do? Does
rely on the state to make up hundreds of dollars?
No one knows where the rural people will go in the future.
