Yang Dechang's films are all vague and warm, and you can't sum up what he wants to express with a single conclusion. Just like "A Dream of Red Mansions", the meaning is too complicated, and it is often difficult for us to summarize. However, this kind of vagueness is so real, just like life, who can sum up our own life in a few hundred words? Those middle-aged people who have lived more than half their lives are always cigarette after cigarette, but they can't open their mouths, only sighing softly.
Watching Yang Dechang's films is often able to experience the heavy and suffocating side of life. The relationship between people is always so pessimistic and powerless in his films. You always feel that we are so close, but can't get into each other's hearts. Is this the source of all sorrow?
The yy at the end, I think it's very exciting. There are two extreme contrasts. If Li Lizhong really turns the gun on others, you will only feel hateful, but when he turns the gun on yourself, you will feel that he is kind and weak. Just like most of us ordinary people, we are weak because of kindness and hard work, always punishing ourselves but rarely blaming others.
Yang Dechang's protagonists are sincere and kind, often closer to nobility. Although Li Lizhong does not read literature and is rigid and pedantic, he has never hurt others, and he has endured everything that life is unsatisfactory. And his romantic wife, who longs to live in a dream, is really willful and selfish. Isn't he more noble than his wife? The advertisers of literature and art are not necessarily noble, they are just better at talking, and the whole world knows a little bit, why is it not more painful for those who are silent? Pain and silence is the real nobility.
At that time, Li Liqun was still so young, with a gentle and thick temperament, like all seemingly ordinary little people who did a little bad things, but blamed themselves for a long time. When he put his arms around his crying wife who couldn't write a novel in the middle of the night and said, "If you can't finish it, just write it tomorrow." You know that some people love another person in their own way, although it is not understood. That's why it made people feel so desolate when he collapsed by the pool with blood all over his head. A person devotes his heart and lungs to the world, but the world closes the door. What kind of despair and powerlessness is this.
Yang Dechang's films often talk about the pain of this idealistic disillusionment. If you have unstoppable expectations for this world, then you are destined to have unstoppable disappointments. Sorrow comes from love, and although this love may seem turbulent, it is turbulent.
