from Ma Youtie——I feel the movie "Hidden in the Dust"
Xu Liangxian/Text
Recently, a small investment literary film "Hidden in the Dust" became popular. The film went from being unknown at the beginning to a counter-attack at the box office through word of mouth from the audience. It received rave reviews and was even nominated for the main competition award unit of the 72nd Berlin Film Festival, and finally won a box office of 100 million yuan. Director Li Ruijun has made a lot of money, and he has also entered the public's attention from a little-known third-tier director.
And the biggest focus and bright spot of the film is undoubtedly Wu Renlin, the actor Ma Youtie. Wu Renlin was originally a farmer who faced the loess and turned his back to the sky. Since he participated in this film, he has also become a household celebrity. His real, delicate and unpretentious acting skills have also been widely praised by people. The only professional actor in the film, Haiqing , who plays the heroine Gui Ying, does not hesitate to destroy her image to play a sick peasant woman. Although it was a zero-pay performance, the unexpected popularity of this film made Haiqing stand out and helped her to successfully transform her acting career and became one of the big winners of this film.
I like watching movies very much. I heard that the movie "Hidden in the Dust" has a good reputation, so naturally I will not miss the movie viewing experience. When I saw the film, I was very emotional. In the past few days, the after-view and film reviews about this film have been flying all over the sky. After reading a few articles, I couldn't help myself, and I didn't vomit unpleasantly, so I came to join in the fun. The specific plot of the
movie will not be repeated. The basic line is that the peasant Ma Youtie, who lives at the bottom of the countryside, has become a family with the equally hard-working Cao Guiying . In an accident, Gui Ying drowned. Later, Ma Youtie was desperate, and in desperation, he chose to escape from reality and end his life.
Forty years old, for most people, it's already been a success. As for Ma Youtie, he married a daughter-in-law at the age of forty, got rid of the misery of being under the fence of others, and just had his own shabby little nest. This made him doubly cherish the life in front of him, and also ignited his passion and hope for life. After marriage, Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying are attached to each other. Although life is very difficult, it gives them a short-lived happiness. They are more longing and yearning for a happy life. They work hard day and night, hoping to get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. Life was just getting better, but fate tricked people. Gui Ying accidentally drowned, which completely collapsed Ma Youtie's biggest spiritual pillar, and finally chose to escape reality and commit suicide. The
movie also has an interesting but non-talking protagonist - the donkey. Think of the life of a donkey, endured with whips and mosquito bites, and worked silently with blood and sweat. Even if Ma Youtie is really willing to let the donkey survive, it still cannot escape the misfortune of being placed on the table as a delicacy. In fact, the fate of this donkey is the true portrayal of Ma Youtie's final fate. In this movie
, there is very little language dialogue between characters, basically all actions and behavioral language . Although Wu Renlin, the actor of Ma Laosi, is not a professional, but as a low-level peasant to play a low-level peasant, he is familiar with the road and does not need to perform deliberately, so the plot is very real and unpretentious, and it is easy to resonate with the audience. Some people say that although Ma Youtie lives in poverty at the bottom of the society, he has a noble sentiment of being out of the mud and unsullied. It is said that although Ma Youtie suffers as deep as the sea, he has his own happiness and happiness—this is a kind of happiness that has nothing to do with material things, and it is also happiness that ordinary people cannot experience.
Although Ma Youtie is poor and humble, he still sticks to his purity, honesty, kindness and great love. His personality quality has indeed made many people who live richly ashamed, and it is also worthy of our sympathy, admiration and praise. Rather than saying that he lived an extraordinary life, it would be better to say that he used hard work, helplessness, enduring and pain to fight and game with fate, but in the end he still failed to get rid of the claws of fate, and the ending was embarrassing. While happiness is a person's self-judgment of one's life satisfaction, material possessions are not the only determinant of happiness. But as far as Ma Youtie is concerned, his life has nothing to do with happiness. As outsiders, we have not experienced the suffering of Ma Youtie, so we have no right to act rashly.He has his own happiness and detachment—otherwise he would not choose to commit suicide. Although the
film has been widely praised, there are also many controversies and even criticisms. After all, the purpose of this film is not to promote the nobility and greatness of Ma Youtie, but to show the audience their sorrow, struggle, despair and the harsh living environment. It should be said that it is a progress and breakthrough to dare to expose the living conditions of the bottom group in this society and allow it to be released. But the film also has a negative side, just to cater to the audience, blindly amplifying the suffering of extreme individuals and the harshness and indifference of the living environment, causing great psychological discomfort to the viewers. It is easy to make the audience feel pessimistic and negative about this society, and even provoke emotional confrontation between different groups in the society, which is the biggest failure. In the
movie, Ma Youtie and Gui Ying made adobe to build a house, but none of the villagers came to help. In my memory, the scene of building adobe houses only appeared before the 1980s. This plot makes the audience feel like they are in a different world, and this kind of indifference is also extremely shocking, giving people a sense of disobedience to deliberately create suffering and smear peasants in order to win the audience's tears. In fact, for the very few socially disadvantaged groups like Ma Youtie, the society and the country have always had basic assistance and guarantees, but these assistances are only a drop in the bucket. They can only guarantee their food and clothing, and it is difficult to fundamentally solve their plight. And if they want to get a healthy body, a decent and prosperous life, they still have to rely on their own efforts and hard work. However, their own shortcomings and defects make it difficult for them to escape their fate and move towards happiness, so it is not surprising that the ending is tragic.
We don't need to deliberately magnify the suffering of the horses and irons, because they exist objectively and are only a very small group, and their sorrows cannot be blamed on this society. Looking at the highly civilized developed countries in the West, aren't there homeless homeless people on the streets? But we must not be indifferent and ignorant of Ma Youtie, they don't need praise, praise and halo, they need real attention and love. If this group cannot escape suffering, there will be no happiness and harmony of the whole society.
would like to say something for Ma Youtie: "My humbleness has long been hidden in the dust; and my suffering, I hope to be seen by people! I have pursuits, but the road is long; and my dream is to be side by side with you. !"
Life is not easy, do it and cherish it! When you complain that life and fate are unfair to you, you might as well take a look at Ma Youtie, your anxiety, pressure, resentment and even hatred will subside a lot.
watched this film and sighed!
