Cold environment & ordinary world, but always, there are those warm

At the beginning of the movie, it was Christmas Eve, Snow Day, and Relief Day, which perfectly laid the foundation for the whole movie ~ Relief means that the three protagonists are people from the bottom of the society, and it also symbolizes that the protagonists at the end will all meet. Get redemption; on snowy days, everything around is so cold, not only the temperature, but also the people's hearts; Christmas Eve, the day when Jesus was born, is also the holiday of Mary.

The character design of the 3 protagonists is also very interesting. It looks like a small family~ An irresponsible wandering uncle, a ladyboy aunt who has a gender error, and a girl who runs away from home in a fit of anger. (I really admire the master's level of design!) With the appearance of Qingzi, the three protagonists embarked on a journey to find the parents of the baby girl Qingzi. When looking for my parents, there are still some reasoning scenes and bridges here, haha, my reasoning fan said that this part is very beautiful!

In the process of looking for their parents, the stories of the three protagonists were also revealed one by one: Uncle was in debt, so he had to abandon his family and hide, living a life like a mouse, and even lied that his family had passed away in order to save face; She is not recognized by the mainstream of the secular world, but she is indeed the kindest, and she also has a group of "like-minded" friends who are better than relatives; the girl who leaves home is the epitome of many rebellious children. Parents don't know how to understand how their children communicate. It is easy to cause such a result~

Kiyoko is indeed an angel of God! Along the way, you met a lot of people, and a lot of things happened, all of which were resolved by Qingzi one by one? Haha, great comedy! Finally, the climax of Qingzi's parents was reversed, exciting, and very beautiful! Not only did they find Qingzi's parents, but the protagonist group traveled with three people, and finally reached a reconciliation with the family, or in other words, self-salvation ~ We are all ordinary people in this society who are tired of life. It is inevitable that we will Encountering difficult things, living in a winter-like environment. However, whether we believe it or not, there is always that touch of warmth in our hearts . No matter how difficult it is, if we go back to experience the slightest bit of warmth for a while, we will feel that it is still worthwhile to walk around like this~


I don’t know much about storytelling, so I won’t say anything. I mainly want to analyze the subtleties of the master screenwriter by myself~ 1. The center clearly defines the Godfather, which is still a central idea. I once thought that the director conceived this film. When the film, did you just have a bb, haha! The negative textbook is the "Hot Blood Choir" that I have analyzed above. There are a lot of things I want to express, but they are separate, and the perception is not very good. Thinking about it carefully, even if a long novel may have a main central idea, there can only be one. Either the big center is decomposed into several large centers that are closely related, logically juxtaposed, and jointly interpret; or the main center has one to several small centers. 2. The material is well-sourced. Character stories, supporting cast stories, physical environment, and social environment, all serve the center. Character stories and supporting cast stories not only represent the amount of material in the author's stomach, but also represent the ability to select and edit materials; the physical environment and human environment may seem unimportant, but they are subtly affecting the audience. , a psychological suggestion. 3. The structure is clear and clear Main line development + side story, reversal, climax. Under the premise that the main line is continuous, assisting a certain short story, the climax and reversal at the end are also indispensable factors~ 4. The audience experience elements are multi-dimensional : comedy, reasoning, moving, and several dimensions are integrated compared to a single cry and cry , comedy, or reasoning, the multi-dimensional experience brought to the audience is definitely much stronger than a single one. The more feelings, the better. Maybe one dimension can only impress a wave of audiences, and the audiences reached by multiple dimensions are more Many~ But, how to integrate multiple dimensions into an organic whole, rather than the boring business stacking, depends a lot on the level of the respective creators! The end,^_^~~
