, Ge You's a cappella song full of stories and vicissitudes of life sounded.
"There are flowers in the mirror,
Chasing the dragon in the water.
Turning around in the world of mortals, the body is dyed red.
The crazy people follow the crazy soul.
After walking out of this door, I never looked back."
The emotion of the film has reached its highest point, and I am deeply moved. The theatergoers were already in tears.
This "Hedgehog" directed by Gu Changwei and starring Ge You and Wang Junkai is a relatively unique movie in the summer season.
I personally love this film very much, whether it’s its black humor rooted in reality or the soaring and transcendent ending.
Whether it describes individual suffering and trauma, or it is a narrative of family stories with folk custom characteristics of the times.
is very realistic, very absurd, very interesting, very poignant, and has great staying power.
Wang Zhantuan (played by Ge You) has had a dream since he was young, and he wants to see the Pacific Ocean.
For this reason, he worked as a dock worker for 5 years, and finally had the opportunity to board a cargo ship and sail to the Pacific Ocean. However,
was imprisoned in a small dark room on the ship because he exposed the captain's smuggling.
spent two months in this test. By the time he was released, the ship had already docked at Dalian Port.
The King's Battle Group was extremely shocked and collapsed. They rushed to the top of the ship, looked at the coast in front of them, and said repeatedly: "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."
From then on, the King's Battle Group was not normal.
"I came from the wilderness,
want to go to the sea,
the whistle in the distance has sounded,
life has stopped me from going.
She gave me stories,
I wrote poems for her."
Wang Zhantuan's song " "Love Poem" is a topical poem throughout the film. It expresses the nature of the conflict between the spiritual world of Wang Zhantuan and the real situation.
People think that Wang Zhantuan is a lunatic because he does crazy things from time to time. He "flies" down from the roof with green onions tied to his arms, recites "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" as if no one else is watching, and insists that there are flying fish in the world.
was playing chess when he suddenly chased the chess piece that had fallen to the ground. He started running like crazy until his shoes fell off, and he ran into bushes and rivers. He was covered in mud and was found in embarrassment by his family.
Zhou Zheng's mother banned Zhou Zheng from playing with Wang Zhantuan.
Wang Zhantuan sometimes seemed normal. Even his mother-in-law, who often criticized him, once thought he had recovered.
His memory is amazing, he can recite "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", he can also write beautiful poems, and he is also excellent at playing chess. The
Wang Troupe loved to sing, and they sang quite beautifully. They danced and sang "Love the country more than the beauty" in the square.
Regardless of whether he is crazy or not, Wang Zhantuan is a very talented person and very interesting. He has a rich spiritual world.
But his actions are not understood by the people around him, especially his family.
His wife Zhou Xiuling, who is also Zhou Zheng's aunt, said something very intriguing. Others asked her why she didn't take him to see a doctor.
Zhou Xiuling said that if you don't see a doctor, you may not be sick, but if you go to see a doctor, you will really be sick.
If you think about this carefully, my aunt actually used to tolerate and protect the Wang Group in her own way.
Therefore, he has been reluctant to send him to a mental hospital.
Wang Zhantuan often says "Should it? Shouldn't it?" to express his incomprehension and disapproval of secular rules.
When her daughter Wang Haiou got together with a divorced man who was 8 years older than her, and she was pregnant with a child, unlike her aunt's aggressive attitude, Wang Zhantuan did not have the outdated concept of "getting pregnant before marriage" and readily accepted this fact and simply worked for herself. I am happy to be a grandpa.
Wang Zhantuan is a decent man. Because of his leg disease and unwilling to embarrass his daughter, he voluntarily refused to go to the wedding.
Zhou Zheng repeated a grade because of his poor grades. His father felt it was embarrassing for relatives to ask him about it, so he was not allowed to attend the wedding.
So these people, old and young, who were consciously or passively alienated from mainstream society, climbed to the top of the tall tower together and blew the whistle.
On the top of the high tower, Wang Zhantuan shouted blessings to his daughter's wedding convoy: "Happy Wedding Seagull", Zhou Zheng followed suit.
shouted, and suddenly tears filled his eyes.
This scene is particularly touching.
Zhou Zheng can be said to be a character who intertextures with the Wang Group.
One is old and the other is young. One is regarded as a madman by the people around him because of his strange behavior.
A man was rejected by his father and worried about his mother because of his stuttering problem, so he rebelliously jumped out of the window and was considered to be possessed by evil spirits.
They all become marginalized people in mainstream society because of their uniqueness and differences from the rest of the world.
So Teacher Zhao was invited, the first time to see a doctor for the King Fighter, and the second time to exorcise Zhou Zheng from evil spirits.
Teacher Zhao, played by Ren Suxi , is a neurotic half-fairy, but he has mastered a feudal superstitious discourse system that was still feasible in society at that time.
Fox yellow, white and willow ash, the five great immortals in the Northeast, among which white refers to hedgehogs.
Teacher Zhao asked Wang Zhantuan's family to enshrine the tablet of Lao Bai's family, consider herself a member of Lao Bai's family, and call the hedgehog her father.
Wang's group is more serious. Your family's surname is Bai, why is your surname Zhao?
When he arrived at Zhou Zheng's place, Teacher Zhao asked him to kneel down and plead guilty, and followed her by shouting, "I disobey my parents and do not follow the right path." Zhou Zheng resisted.
Teacher Zhao struck him on the head with a wooden sword, causing blood to flow from his mouth. Zhou Zheng, his mouth full of blood, shouted to Teacher Zhao: You can't save me, I'll eat your father!
The origin of these words was that Wang Zhantuan read a folk remedy and said that hedgehogs could cure his leg sores, so he roasted a hedgehog to eat, and Zhou Zheng also took a few bites.
In order to keep Wang Zhantuan at home and prevent him from running out and going crazy, the aunt fed Wang Zhantuan sleeping pills morning and night, so Wang Zhantuan fell into a long lethargy.
My aunt removed the memorial tablet of the old Bai family that she had previously enshrined and replaced it with a statue of Jesus. She confessed every day, "I am guilty. I am a poisonous woman even more poisonous than Pan Jinlian. I drugged my husband."
I stumbled upon this by chance. Zhou Zheng was shocked by the scene. He thought that his aunt was stuck, Wang Battle Group was also stuck, his parents and he were all stuck.
is stuck. This statement is the first of its kind by Wang Group.
It accurately describes a certain state of human life.
At a certain period in our lives, we are so frustrated, so painful, and so struggling.
is stuck at a certain node. It can't go up or down, it's not smooth and it's not pleasant.
We are stuck in some kind of predicament and can't get out of it.
life blocks our path.
Zhou Zheng’s “crazy” origin comes from his native family.
His stuttering should be genetic. His father also stutters when he is anxious.
But because of his stuttering, he was teased and bullied by his classmates. He refused to go to school, and his grades were not good, which led to him repeating the grade.
Zhou Zheng's father disliked him, beat and scolded him, and even beat and scolded him in front of his female classmates.
The irritable and furious father and the helpless and powerless mother made Zhou Zheng's "disease" worse.
Only Wang Zhantuan regards him as a normal person. Wang Zhantuan actually plays the role of companionship and guidance in Zhou Zheng's life.
But Zhou Zheng's mother, because Wang Zhantuan was a lunatic, often forbade Zhou Zheng from getting close to him.
The relatives around them do not understand or accept them, and they try to correct them. They go through all kinds of troubles, seek medical advice, and ask half-immortals to do something, trying to bring them back to the normal track.
King's battle group's response was relatively gentle, but he also cooperated, feeling confused and sober, both transparent and crazy.
In the end, in order not to cause a burden to his family, Wang Zhantuan took the initiative to go to a mental hospital.
Zhou Zheng's response was relatively fierce. He resisted, fiercely defended his subjectivity, and refused to admit guilt or forgive.
The ending adapted in the movie is better than the one in the novel.
Zhou Zheng was admitted to the Maritime Academy and worked as a third mate on a ship. He traveled to many countries on the ship and saw the Pacific Ocean.
did not go home for seven years after he was admitted to college. Later, he returned to Shenyang with his pregnant wife.
Zhou Zheng’s mother said to him, it’s a good thing you didn’t become Wang Zhantuan.
Zhou Zheng said, no, I am the Wang Battle Group.
Zhou Zheng’s mother asked him, can you forgive us?
Zhou Zheng said: "If you don't forgive, you can't forgive."
Forgiving easily is a betrayal of the suffering self, or even re-injury to oneself.
Zhou Zheng resolutely defended his subjectivity and could not allow himself to be disintegrated in this war without gunpowder.
If you are not wrong, you will not admit guilt. If you are hurt, you have the right not to forgive.
The ending of the Wang Group in the film is really good and subtle.
is better than in the novel. In the novel, Wang Zhantuan died in the hospital one month after his son died in a car accident. In the
movie, Wang Zhantuan escaped from the mental hospital.
Don’t eat in a hurry even if you are dead. How can the
King’s Group be dead sons?
He tore his head from the family portrait and washed it away with the gurgling water from the faucet.
He escaped from the mental hospital, escaped the shackles of his family, and could freely go to the place he longed for.
Before he died, Wang Zhantuan could finally see his Pacific Ocean.
"I came from the wilderness and wanted to go to the sea. The whistle in the distance has sounded, but life has stopped me from going."
Nothing can stop the Wang Group anymore.
Zhou Zheng's imagination turned into a physical image. He saw Wang's battle group swimming and swimming in the sea, and he also jumped into the sea, swimming and swimming, and they swam to the Pacific Ocean together.
From now on, we will no longer be stuck in everything.
I've been stuck for a long time.
When I saw this line of words, when I heard Ge You's acapella singing.
click, crisp sound.
The machine slid over an obstacle.
seems to be real.
From now on, we will no longer be stuck in everything.
