"Poetry"--Poems Written with Life

Poems Written with Life-Feelings to Rewatch "Poems" A month ago, netizen Ms. LinP. said that she liked Li Cangdong's film "Poems" very much. In fact, I don't understand why I say this. Maybe I just blurted it out from my first look, and when Ms. LinP. asked "how to see it", she was speechless. For a month, I always wanted to watch this film again, first to understand why LinP. The lady loves this movie so much; secondly, I want to correct my perception and perception because some movies don't appreciate their subtleties until the second or third viewing. So I found the disc and re-watched it at midnight. Sure enough, this re-watch was very different from the first time I watched it. It's a film with a heavy (deep?) theme but not a dull narrative. As a director and screenwriter, Li Cangdong is a master of narration.

When watching his films, he can always fall into a certain situation and think, that is, the so-called "strong sense of substitution." shadow time. On the surface, "Poem" is soft and silent, tranquil and forbearing, and the narrative style is calm and soothing and full of poetry, but when viewed as a whole, it is more powerful and cruel than Li Cangdong's previous works. Because in this continuous poetry, we see the beautiful things being nibbled and destroyed little by little. Although Li Cangdong did not focus on entanglement or fierceness from the beginning to the end, he invisibly showed the tangled, fierce, and even poignant things in human nature one by one, and let goodness and beauty hit the wall everywhere in the mundane world and have nowhere to hide. As a result, we can see that a kind heart that loves beauty finally withered, and even as an audience, after watching it, it seems that even the power of sighing has suddenly been lost. From personal experience, people who love reading and are willing to be around words are usually sensitive and strong. The old lady, Yang Meizi, in "Poems" has a low social status and is also at the bottom of the economy.

Despite this, she still dresses herself as elegantly as possible. She loves nature, loves all beautiful things, and devotes herself to approaching beauty and understanding. Beauty's mind is clear and transparent. Ordinary people's reactions when encountering unexpected or unfortunate events are either beating their chests and complaining about others, or complaining about themselves and dejecting themselves, while Yang Meizi's response to unfortunate encounters is to pursue beauty—she learns that she is about to suffer from Alzheimer's disease , so she signed up for an amateur class to learn to write poetry; when the parents of the students discussed compensation with her, she suddenly admired the wildflowers by the roadside; when she negotiated with the victim's mother, she directly chatted with them about nature. The beauty, completely forgetting why it came.

However, beauty and ugliness always go hand in hand, and those who are good and beautiful are often overwhelmed and tortured by ugly events, as we saw in the old lady, Yang Meizi. All that has happened, combined with the guilt he has endured on behalf of a loved one, has left a beautiful soul struggling on the road to redemption. Yang Meizi, who advocates goodness and beauty, has suffered more than just a little bit of ugliness. In order to pay compensation for her grandson, she has to sell herself to her employer as a nurse for a living, and the grandson, who made a big mistake, eats and drinks like a normal person. In this process, on the one hand, she combined the poetry class teacher's To teach—beauty and poetry are all around us, to discover, to discover, to feel, to feel—practice; on the other hand, to deal with ugly entanglements—several teenagers, including her grandson, bully a girl, There is that old guy with a crooked mouth and a half-body who still needs to buy sex...

It is in the game between beauty and ugliness that Yang Meizi endures pain while putting his heart into poetry. The wife completed her reflection on human nature and tortured reality. Finally, she wrote the first poem of her life... This time I rewatched it and found that it was a movie without a soundtrack. Li Cangdong only used the sounds of nature, such as the sound of wind, running water, the running sound of trains, etc. These sounds seem to have generated magic power, which not only complements the picture but also attracts people. The viewer (such as me) unconsciously follows these natural sounds and uses From the perspective of Yang Meizi, she can feel everything she has encountered, whether it is the feeling of beauty or the unavoidable ordeal. What I have to say is that the performance of Yin Zhengxi, the leading actor, is really delicate and profound, especially in the reproduction of Yang Meizi's psychology.

I had never heard of her before, and it is said that this is her re-emergence after a fifteen-year absence from the screen. And what I want to say is that even if she has only acted in this movie in her life, it is enough for people who love movies to remember her. When reality destroys poetry and ugliness kills beauty, only poets who write are crazy, and those who love poetry die. But once they are chasing after the soul and human nature, many people can't help but become decadent because they see too much or think too far. 2019-11-15.
