The taste of plum chicken - the only part of love and tenderness

The poster is designed with a fairy tale dreaminess, but after clicking it, there is a feeling of being deceived.

The foreplay is too long. It goes out of its way to describe an artist's persistent pursuit of art in an unsatisfactory secular marriage life. The violin was broken and I wanted to buy another one. I met a silver-haired woman on the street. He shouted "Yilan", but the woman said "I don't remember at all". Well, go on. Holding the noisy child's hand, he bought the relics of famous families with a lot of money, then returned home, put on the best suits, and played. But he was disappointed, and he decided to die after knowing that he would never find the feeling of playing again. Everything up front was boring and I was pained by the long foreplay while watching it.

It wasn't until he decided to die that it made sense to show his suicidal form, exaggerated body language, fake special effects and spoofing celebrities, all in all, the style was a bit skinny, and it didn't match the previous one.

In fact, we were ruthlessly spoiled at the beginning, we knew that in eight days he would be dead, the funeral was held, and all the people who loved him were there. So in the past eight days, I started to recall, all those who might be attached to it were brought up, flashed back and forth constantly, and when I talked about my daughter, I looked at her future, and I sat in the dark like a witch with red lips and played cards with men. , by the way, mocking his happy and moderate younger brother, who also blacked out the United States, and his younger brother who brought big blond beauties to love each other.

Then as his wife softened and begged for peace, hoping to save the marriage through plum chicken, this was the only time in his life when he showed a smile. But now he is unmoved, the beginning and continuation of this married life are unsatisfactory, the violin that was broken - that is, the cause of suicide is an irreversible life, plum chicken was abandoned without hesitation . The narration of this paragraph is not actually exaggerated, but rather solemn and realistic.

Turning to the teenage years of studying art (although it cannot be seen from the male protagonist's face), Yilan, the love of the male protagonist's life, appeared. However, before her, the young memories came to an abrupt end.

On the fifth day, the male protagonist recalled the death of his mother. Now he is looking forward to death as much as his mother. The son prayed for him, but it was useless. The devil came, and then there was an exaggerated dramatic performance. It was easy to talk to the devil. During this period, an animation was interspersed to tell a fairy tale. I'll admit, that animation blew me away when it came out.

After this day, his death accelerated, the children and his wife came to his bed, the children were dazed, the wife was remorseful, and he forgave her, but to no avail.

Finally, on the last day, he saw the phantom of Yilan, and the deep love story unfolded in front of him. The love story of a rich family daughter and a poor art student finally became a natural tragedy. There was not much of a fierce struggle. The two kissed goodbye in the rainy night, and then separated from each other. One traveled the world and became famous all over the world. The other was married and had a happy family.

Until passing by in a hurry on the street, the girl with the elegant skirt of the past now has a haggard face and silver hair, and the violinist called out "Yilan" without hesitation, but the grandmother holding her grandson's hand just looked indifferent, "I don't remember at all", The violinist's smile slowly solidified: "80% of the time it's a mistake." The woman turned and walked away, tears falling in her eyes before turning the corner, she leaned on the door and whispered, "Nasha Ali, my love!"

This is the most worthwhile part of the whole article, and it is very sad. In fact, when you see the end, you will feel that the miscellaneous expressions in the front talk about some miscellaneous things. They are about the life of the violinist, his wife, children, brothers and mother. Maybe the form of drama and spoof will make you laugh, but it doesn't really matter. They do not constitute his motivation to live. Plum chicken is the only lovely part of a difficult life, a tenderness worthy of a smile, but in the face of life and death decisions, it is insignificant.

What really shakes his life and shakes our hearts is Yilan and the sound of the piano.

Qin is the cause of the drama, and it also appears with Yilan, but the problem is that Yilan is not enough. Even if the writing is buried at the beginning and another side is revealed in the middle, it is not until the last paragraph that the most precious and beautiful love story is completely told. In ten minutes, all the content of meeting, falling in love, breaking up, missing death, and then ending, even if you are moved to tears by the reunion at the end, it will make people feel too rushed, which greatly affects the perception and aftertaste.

Maybe choosing such a form is related to the theme. Like the life of a violinist, most of the unimportant things are filled with the surface, and the only two things that are really precious are buried in the bottom. In this way, the form becomes a part of the theme, that is, The previous large-scale descriptions of wives, children, and younger brothers are essential.

Just a guess, but even so, I feel that too many secondary event narratives undercut the theme more than it might have served as a foil. In short, some interesting, but not exciting.

    The smile of love is like a summer flower, and death is like the sigh of autumn leaves.
