In the past Mid-Autumn Festival, directed by Li Shaohong , Chen Chong , Zhang Aijia , Zhou Xun , Zheng Xiuwen , Yi Yang Qianxi , Xu Di , Feng Delun The starring " has her in the world" has received a lot of attention. The background of the film is set in an ordinary family affected by the new crown epidemic in 2020, and tells the choices and changes made by several ordinary women when their lives suddenly changed.
From " Chinese doctor " to " hugs you through the cold winter " and " you are my spring ", in recent years, there have been many works on the big screen showing anti-epidemic stories from different angles. And "The World Has Her", led by three female directors, focuses on women in different emotional relationships for the first time, showing their more hidden emotional needs in addition to their identities as wives, lovers, mothers, daughters, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law and growth trajectory. The
film uses the new crown epidemic as a background for a story that transcends everyday life, but explores three problematic scenarios that women may encounter in their daily lives. Although the audience does not necessarily agree with the answers of the three directors to these questions, as Douban netizen "Polycarbonate" said: "The film truly restores the predicament and unhappiness caused by many trivialities in our lives, but the film also Poke the gloomy appearance of life and show us the sparkling love and family behind it. No one's life is perfect, but we can maintain a heart that finds beauty, and rely on these beauty to dilute the fatigue of life."
Scene 1: Love·Separation
Who are you the mother and whose daughter I am
said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult to handle. In the first story directed by Li Shaohong in "There is Her in the World", Zhou Xun plays the daughter-in-law and Xu Di plays However, her mother-in-law had to spend 24 hours with each other, because they were both infected with the new crown virus.
can see the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the beginning of the story. The first person in the family to be infected was the daughter-in-law. As a result, she just returned home from the hospital. The first sentence of the mother-in-law was not to care about her condition, but to fear that she would infect her precious son and grandson. Although I know that my mother-in-law's worries are not unreasonable, my daughter-in-law, who is already ill, will inevitably feel resentment in her heart: As soon as something happens, I will become an outsider. The first consensus between
and
was reached after the mother-in-law found out that she may also be infected with new crown -they unanimously asked the two men in the family to live out. The mother-in-law wondered that the daughter-in-law had listened to her own words on this matter, but the daughter-in-law explained coldly: "You take care of your son, I take care of my son." It was the critical moment when the relationship between the two broke the ice-the daughter-in-law's parents called, and she concealed the news of her illness on the phone and pretended that everything was fine. At that moment, the mother-in-law behind her suddenly realized that her daughter-in-law is actually someone else's precious daughter. The whole story of
focuses on women's self-identity. There is no tit-for-tat between the two women. On the contrary, because they are both mothers, they have a deep understanding of each other. As a woman in the new era, her daughter-in-law is not dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's partiality to her son. What she cannot accept is that her mother-in-law puts all her emotions on her children and grandchildren, even ignoring her own body. There is a conversation between the two. The daughter-in-law asked her mother-in-law, "Who are you living for?" The mother-in-law said, "I'm for them. If I don't, I feel like I've lived in vain." No clear answer is given about the boundaries of motherhood. The two women have gone through this ups and downs, and they seem to have changed, but nothing seems to have changed. It is also this that makes the audience have a different perception of the story.
A-side B-side
Li Shaohong once explained his intention to make this story: "The sudden epidemic has brought us all back to our families, and we cherish each other's existence even more. Family affection may be one of the most critical forces to overcome any difficulties."
also There is one point or the unanimous opinion of many audiences: the son played by baike is very unlikable. When two women in the family had conflicts, he was always puzzled: "They are both women, so can't we be considerate of each other?" After his wife and mother became seriously ill, he cried again: "I am Ma Bao, what's wrong with me? I can't leave my mother, I can't leave you, I'm used to being served by you, I can't do anythingCan't lose! Some viewers believe that even though the functional absence of male characters can strengthen the dramatic conflict between the two female characters, it is too deliberate. Unlike Li Shaohong and Zhang Aijia, Chen Chong did not film a tangled relationship. The second story she filmed was very simple: two people who were in love with each other were finally separated completely because of the epidemic. The girl played by Huang Miyi and and Yi The boy played by Yang Qianxi contributed a piece of pure love that made many people cry.
The boy and the girl are lovers who have been together since they were students, but the accident happened after the girl returned home for the Spring Festival. Unfortunately, Wuhan was infected with the virus. The girl wanted to fly to her lover desperately, but the epidemic kept changing, and the methods failed one by one. In the end, the girl herself was quarantined at home because she had just returned from Wuhan. The two who could not see each other could only Accompanying them through video calls until the end of the boy's life...
Compared with the tragic ending, the laying out of a lot of details in the first half is the real moving part of this story. The life shared by the two seems trivial and lacks plot advancement, but It just shows the best stage of a love: intimacy, trust, wanting to be with you all the time. To this end, Yi Yang Qianxi also contributed a half-naked bathing scene. Although the story of
has a tragic ending, the sweet process seems to be There is no regret. Because the boy and the girl have not spared every minute of company, and they have never been stingy to express their love. The boy played by Yi Yang Qianxi recalled the first time with the girl before he became seriously ill. The second hand in hand and the first kiss are not goodbyes. Farewells are moving.
Among the three stories, Chen Chong's story is the most close to the love state of contemporary young people. The mobile phone has become a very important prop in the love relationship between the hero and heroine, even if Before the accident, the two habitually shared each other's daily life through their mobile phones. After the boy fell ill, the two of them stayed in bed for video chatting, and the scene of sleeping with each other on the camera would also evoke a lot of different places. The resonance of the audience with love experience.
But Chen Chong's lens seems to have more unfinished meanings. For example, from the beginning to the end, the girl who went home for the New Year has never discussed her ongoing love with her mother, leaving her wishful thinking. To match her with a good old classmate. But in the end, when the tragedy happened, it was the mother who shed tears to comfort her daughter in pain.
A face B face
Chen Chong said: "I want to express an ancient theme-- love and loss. At the same time, I also want to explore our story with our mobile phone - the attention, emotion, and interest we pour into the world inside the mobile phone, and what the mobile phone conveys to you seems to be more important than the things around you . "
Chen Chong's story has also attracted some controversy. For example, some netizens think that this story does not seem to have anything to do with women's perspective, at most it is a more delicate description of the love relationship. However, some netizens said that this is the most delicate of the three stories. The touching one, because it abandons too many plot designs, and just uses a love story that is so beautiful that you can't bear it, to tell you the truth of "flowers can be broken and must be broken", "If you love hard, you will have no regrets. No matter if the result is life or death.”
Scene 3: Love, kill
Who pays more than anyone, will only hurt others and hurt themselves
The third story directed by Zhang Aijia, in the richness of the director’s techniques and the fullness of the characters It seems to be better in terms of degree, and is considered by many audiences to be the "best" of the three paragraphs. The story takes place in Hong Kong. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the existing contradiction between Zheng Xiuwen's wife and Feng Delun's husband has changed. It's getting more and more acute. The wife played by
Zheng Xiuwen is a photojournalist. She wants to do a good job in the profession she likes, and at the same time is tired of coping with her two children who are at home all day because of the epidemic. Under pressure and exhaustion, She was even more dissatisfied with her husband, who seemed to be unable to help in every way. The resentment between the two had been building up long before the story really began, and the couple had been separated for a long time, until one day their son initiated High fever. The night
was waiting for his son's test results, the quarrel between the two was a classic. They recounted their grievances and dissatisfaction with each other. Because the wife had to go out to work. In the end, the husband said: "Actually, I don't even know that you are working so hard for the sake ofwhat. "The wife is very angry: "I work so hard not for this family!" How does
deal with the contradiction between family relationships and self-realization? Zhang Aijia uses the background of the epidemic to tell a classic issue in a woman's life. Finally, from the perspective of female growth, she allows her wife to complete the conflict by herself. Reconciliation. In a filming of a group wedding during the epidemic, the wife saw the initial appearance of love from the newlyweds who "don't want to wait anymore", and also from the new parents' outlook on life that they "will be together if they like it" and "just be happy". It reflects his entanglement and narrow-mindedness.
A face B face
Zhang Aijia once said in an interview that today's women have strong self-awareness, more job opportunities, and indeed less care for their families than women in the past. Because to take care of family members, some women must return to tradition more, and they will have grievances and emotions in their hearts. What she wants to show is the inner changes brought about by this kind of predicament. And obviously, at the end of the story, Zhang Aijia chose to let the wife played by Zheng Xiuwen find the positive energy in life that she had neglected for a long time.
But this is also what makes some viewers dissatisfied. Some viewers said: "It seems that this couple is more like because of the epidemic and the epidemic. The child finally gave in, and the problem between them was not really resolved. In the end, the man said, "We used to only want each other." On the surface, it was a call for the two to find the original intention of love, but in fact, he pushed all the problems to the woman - it's not that we have a bad life, but that you want to Too much! "
But some viewers believe that such an ending is closer to reality. "Life itself is not black and white. In family relationships, compromise is sometimes not a derogatory term." Maybe because of the changes in my mood in the past few years, I did see the shadow of life at a certain moment in the movie, especially the expression of the relationship between generations in the first part, the feeling of "another me in the world". I really like the first film by Li Shaohong. Story, true. Remove the stereotypes attached to society, the change in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the same as the only way for people to grow up.
Bavarian Dionysus: The film uses a female perspective to take care of an era, under the predicament "she The gentle observation of ” also makes it easier for the audience to empathize. The three stories are linked together. The discussion on how mothers-in-law, lovers, and husbands and wives live with themselves and others in a specific context also brings a touch of philosophical speculation. The simple feelings, the emotional contradictions in the relationship between multiple groups of characters, and the ups and downs of ordinary people are the praises of specific kindness and love, which warms people's hearts after reading it. Embracing the moon can even cut the hair and fight the epidemic. But can you understand her contradictions, difficulties and difficulties? A work full of care and tenderness, such as spring like a clear spring. There are no big ups and downs, but there will always be a little resonance in it.
Ling & 楹: I like the second story and the third story. The second story replaces the long-distance relationship I once had, and the kind of miss and regret is really It gives people a deep sense of substitution. The third story, the words of the quarrel are very real, I hope we can all be a professional woman who is not bound. But the first story, I really can't understand it.
