1. Understanding the title of the film
Maybe many people don't pay much attention to the various translated versions of the title, but it actually reflects the director's deliberate thinking under different cultures. The English title ASH IS PUREST WHITE, translated as "Ash is the purest white", the word ash can find a corresponding point in the film, there are two times:
It was the first time that Binbin brought Qiaoqiao to the crater. At that time, they were burning most vigorously, and Binbin's passionate professor Qiaoqiao shot a pistol;
The second time was after Binbin had a stroke, and Qiaoqiao brought Binbin to that place again. After the burning of the rivers and lakes, the roles were reversed. Unjustifiable stroke and disability, not accepted by the rivers and lakes, become a real scum, Qiaoqiao is stubborn and tenacious like charcoal, quietly exuding residual warmth.
Volcano - burning - ashes; rivers and lakes - hard work - stereotypes of human nature.
Burned ashes are the purest, and those who have experienced hard work and baptism are pure human nature (regardless of good and evil, they are pure).
The meaning of the title, let me speculate boldly, that is, Jianghu daughters are the purest volcanic ash after burning ;
In the end, Binbin was a pure, ruthless and crippled, and the last sentence "going away" can be regarded as a complete recognition of himself;
Qiaoqiao is purely through the burning of rivers and lakes, ruthless and righteous (saving the thief, and beating the thief), and the residual warmth remains.
Only after burning can people be stable, long-lasting, shaped, pure (or cool, or intense, or warm)
Many people (including at least 2 of me) reported that the film gave people a very depressing feeling, a feeling of death?
Yes, that's the smell of ashes.
2. The overall structure of the film
Divided into three stages:
1) Binbin is in power, full of pride, and Qiaoqiao is still an old girl who peels garlic.
2) Binbin's life turned when he was attacked. He went to sea to do business. Qiaoqiao was released from prison and ran into the world.
3) Binbin and Qiaoqiao meet again, and their identities and positions are reversed.
The first stage is the most intense, the second stage starts to descend and land after the parabola apex, and the third stage tends to be stable.
At the end of the second stage, Qiaoqiao encounters a UFO, which means that the third stage can be regarded as an extra story and a fantasy story. In fact, the end of the second stage also defines the human nature of Qiaoqiao, that is, cheating an ending. For the integrity of the story, Qiaoqiao was designed to return to Shanxi and sit back in the original mahjong hall, replacing the previous Binbin, which is in stark contrast to Binbin's ending.

3. About the details
There are so many details in the film, even the details that no one will notice are still portrayed.
1) It is still the old rules, the square screen is used to express the old time, and the wide screen is used to express the present tense.
2) What impressed me the most was that Qiaoqiao went back to the mine, and there was a poster of the rising sun in the kitchen of my hometown, and I instantly felt the director's delicacy. I am afraid this detail is not captured by the post-80s generation in North China, because the drink was sold in the 90s. In the 1990s, North China was all the rage.
3) When Binbin was in power, he used matches to smoke. Although some brothers brought up lighters, Binbin still used his own matches. Later, after he went to sea, Binbin used a Dupont lighter, a change of times and ideas.
4) When Binbin was in power, he dealt with the differences between the brothers and moved out of the second master Guan. At that time, the second master Guan was better than swords and guns because he believed in morality at that time. Later, in the mahjong hall again, Binbin fell into despair and was scolded by Lao Jia. Everyone took out their mobile phones and sent them to the Moments. It was helpless and ridiculous. Later, everyone stopped believing in morality and began to believe in WeChat Moments, which is a change of times. what.
5) Brother Er Yong was assassinated, and Binbin was attacked twice. Binbin blocked the face of the big guys and Wan team and made a conclusion. It was not a vendetta at all, or a young man fighting for the top position. You have to step on your head. come out.
6) The appearance of Lin Jiadong is to prepare for the pit Binbin later.
7) I can't remember the other details, please advise
