" Catch a Baby " is a hit in theaters. You can't think deeply about this movie, otherwise it will feel like a horror movie. For example, Chunlan, played by Ma Li, and Ma Chenggang, played by Shen Teng, are not the first couple, but a second marriage. The character Ma Dajun played by Zhang Zidong is Ma Chenggang's eldest son. And this eldest son was not born to Chunlan. Chunlan, in front of this child, is not even a stepmother, but just an "aunt".
Obviously, the child Ma Chenggang and his first wife had was Ma Dajun, and this child has been abandoned by them. When Ma Chenggang found out that his eldest son had been abandoned, his eldest son must have been at least 20 years old. This means that when Ma Chenggang prepares to have a second son, he must be at least 40 years old. Where is Ma Chenggang's first wife?
Of course we can say with the greatest kindness that Ma Chenggang’s first wife passed away. But what if we don’t have the best intentions? If you think about it carefully, it may seem quite scary. Ma Chenggang won't go to the mother to keep the son, right? The matter of leaving a mother and leaving a son has happened from time to time in ancient Chinese historical records, and it is nothing new. Why do I think this way?
You might as well take a look. In "Catch a Baby", does Ma Chenggang's eldest son have a grandma and a grandpa? During the movie time, Ma Chenggang's eldest son was not given any time to be with his grandmother and grandfather. On the contrary, Ma Chenggang's second son was given a lot of roles as his grandmother and grandfather. Once Ma Chenggang leaves his mother and leaves his son, the son's grandma and grandpa will be just decorations and will have no chance to come to the fore.
Ma Chenggang got married for the second time. What kind of character was Chunlan looking for? It also appears in "Catch a Baby". Ma Chenggang brought Chunlan from his ancestral home. Chunlan was bragging to Ma Chenggang. This is actually a typical third-party mentality, which can also be called the eunuch mentality. A real wife, would she brag about her man like this? When Ma Chenggang said that he wanted to settle in his ancestral home, Chunlan immediately objected, saying that he was here to enjoy happiness, not to suffer. Ma Chenggang's approach was to inherit all his property from his second son.
This content is very interesting. Chunlan was clearly portrayed - she was just a concubine who got the chance to have a child by flattering Ma Chenggang, and what this concubine wanted was just the child she gave birth to. To have Ma Chenggang's family Just the right of inheritance. For this content, please refer to the lives of the concubines who gave birth to children in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
In this movie, Ma Li plays the heroine, which weakens the sense of horror. Because Ma Li and Shen Teng are relatively similar in age, fans will weaken the fact that Ma Li's character is the second marriage. If a younger actress were to play the heroine, the relationship between the "emperor and the concubines" would be more clear.
When Ma Jiye's grandmother and grandfather came to see the child, Ma Chenggang looked down on them at all. This paragraph can also be seen in the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Will the emperor look down on the parents of his concubines? of course not. When this concubine returns to her parents' home, she has to leave in the middle of the night. She has to go back before dawn. In "Catch a Baby", the grandma and grandpa are torn apart by Ma Chenggang's servants, which is a very good detail.
Another good detail is when Ma Chenggang went on a long trip, Chunlan whispered that she wanted a brand-name bag. Did you find this play funny? Only a fool would laugh. A few years ago, in my circle, married women often showed off the brand-name bags their men bought for them on Chinese Valentine's Day and other days. I left a message and asked, do you have such no status at home? You need a man to buy a broken bag?
This is a sincere question. Women who really have status at home don't need men to buy things for them, because they have financial autonomy and they are in charge of the family's money. They can buy whatever they want without waiting for men to give. This is a normal family relationship and financial relationship.Only those who are in the upper position of the third party will show off what men bought them during the Chinese Valentine's Day, because they do not have family financial rights.
Returning to "Catch a Baby", Chunlan obviously does not have family financial rights. She is Ma Chenggang's parasite. She is really the head wife, starting a business with Ma Chenggang, a woman who came out of the slums, would she care about a broken man? Where has the principal wife gone? This is the unthinkable horror event in "Catch a Baby" - she disappeared. And can this second term, this woman who has succeeded in taking office, guarantee that she will be the last?
For Ma Chenggang, Chunlan is just his fertility machine and another machine for raising children. His second term began when he found out that his eldest son had died. The so-called "wasted" means that he did not grow up according to the cruel Ma Chenggang's ideas. It was discovered that the eldest son was dead, and then a second wife and a second son appeared. This is Ma Chenggang's "small restart" for his son.
Well, at the end of the film "Catch a Baby", Ma Chenggang once again said that his second son was once again useless and he was going to force it. Chunlan's character obviously had a misunderstanding. She thought that Ma Chenggang was trying to force himself on her. However, the children are already in college. If Ma Chenggang can do it, can Chunlan still do it? Chunlan, who is almost 50 years old, has obviously left the childbearing age of women.
At this time, Ma Chenggang should be a man in his 60s. As long as he can still do it, he can still be happy to be a father. We have a well-known director who is 80 years old and has become a father again. This proves that men can have children even when they are old. But women, not so. So, when Ma Chenggang wants to "restart the trumpet", will it be Chunlan who restarts with him? If you think about it for a moment, you will know that Chunlan has no chance, she is out.
What Ma Chenggang wants to do is to remove the mother and leave the son, which is a repeat of the tragedy of Ma Dajun's mother. At this moment, Chunlan became the biggest victim. If she agrees, everyone is happy. If she doesn't agree, there may be a "disappearance of her". What can't the tyrannical and arbitrary Ma Chenggang do? Chunlan herself was the second marriage to the top, not the first wife. At this time, asking her to step aside was just a matter of reincarnation.
Of course, Ma Chenggang’s final choice of “restarting the trumpet” was a little too late. When he was 60 years old, he embarked on the route of ancient emperors who had more children and chose the best. Looking through Chinese history, the ancient emperors found that the three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines were used for sleeping? Mainly, it is used to give birth to a son. These women are nothing more than fertility machines. Emperors, starting from the age of 16, start the multi-birth mode. If the dragon gives birth to nine sons, there will always be one who is decent. This is the catch-all for the emperors. Ma Chenggang, sooner or later, had to enter the mode of hanging the red lantern high. Chunlan, are you still laughing when you hear the force? What's the difference between this and those movie fans who giggle without thinking.(Text/Ma Qingyun)
