Middle Class Ukiyo-e

So real is showing the world, especially in comparison with China. The mid-life crisis of the middle class, trying to struggle but still succumbing to the relationship network, his enthusiasm for returning to China to serve the next generation has disappeared in front of the next generation, so he hopes that the next generation can escape from the "homeland" that he tried to serve. . This is the Ukiyo-e of the Chinese middle class at the moment, and it is the scene of life that these people can completely take their seats.

The male protagonist of a middle-aged doctor has lost his motivation in society and lost interest in marriage. He maintains a lover relationship with a young and beautiful female teacher who was once his patient and is now 35 years old. The driving force of life is to send his only daughter to the UK Immigrants, and don't think that you came back in order to repay, so as to leave this country that can't be saved, you can escape from your marriage after your daughter leaves.

On the eve of the exam, the rebellious daughter was suddenly attacked. Before the attack, the house was broken by bricks several times, and when the man appeared at the lover's house, the dog that kept appearing showed that the attacker might be a moral defender. Living in this community as well, I can't see such hypocrisy. After the attack, the male protagonist hoped to use the relationship to let his daughter postpone the test without success. He started to talk about the relationship and hoped to buy the invigilator to give more time. It was too difficult. Finally, he found the official in charge of the test, hoping to mark the test paper. Breakout when rolling.

"The dialogue and secret psychological battle between the father and daughter are torture - in a place full of hypocrisy, can you live honestly? The father's character is complex and ambiguous. He is an honest person who disdains to associate with the powerful. , never obtained improper benefits, but he had a secret lover. What's more meaningful is that he has been emphasizing that he has never deceived his lover. He told the other party about his wife, daughter and situation. It is a kind of honesty and magnanimity. The image of a father and the society he lives in are mirror images and isomorphisms of each other. He feels that he is not complicit, but in fact no one is immune to this. Hypocrisy is wrapped around everyone like a fog, and We will always subconsciously invent an explanation system to justify our hypocrisy. Everyone is a perpetrator, everyone is a victim, and if things go on like this, we can't tell exactly who created this mist. Hypocrisy, who needs to be responsible, who can only bear it, and who can solve it? When this becomes an unsolvable proposition, all people can do is give up on themselves or flee from here.”

In the end, the daughter did not accept the "shortcut" opened up for her by her father, and chose to hand in a satisfactory answer in her own way. Whether or not she ends up successfully studying abroad, when she realizes the limitations of her parents' ways and begins to take responsibility for her own future, this is the beginning of growth.

    Sure enough, Mengji used his video dagger to pierce through a series of social problems in Romania: the pressure of entering school, the back door of the college entrance examination, the bribery of doctors, the worrying public security, the indifferent relationship, the extramarital relationship, too Chinese. It's not like the old work 432, which is concise and concise, but uses a lot of minor details to put together the image of an anxious middle-aged man, showing how to survive in such an environment. There is no waste, the natural light holds a long mirror and a strong sense of substitution. The main competition is the one that impressed me the most.

    We are all changed little by little, from one incident to many things, the exposed corner of society, and finally to the deep-seated social problems. Mengji’s film focuses on more recent contemporary life, and I believe many people will do it too. More resonance.

You know, in '91, your Mum and I decided to move back. It was a bad decision. We thought things would change, we thought we'd move mountains. We didn't move anything. I have no regrets, though.
