Wuhan, a river and lake

As a person who has lived in Wuhan since he was a child, he is very familiar with the urban village in the film. After living in the urban village near Xudong Village for two or three years, the life of ordinary people is naturally not so thrilling and exciting, and there is no chase of gunfights. , there is no bloody fighting, just seeing the familiar corridors, stalls, and the night market life that has gradually disappeared, it is inevitable to sigh, who would have thought that the development of the city would be so rapid in just a few years, those built on the ruins of urban villages The tall building is so real, as if that's what it used to be... Few people remember that it was a river and lake. In the past, due to the large number of waterways and the development of shipping in Wuhan, a wharf culture unique to Wuhan came into being. Today, "abductee" and "pinch shrimp" in Wuhan dialect are all the dock slang words of the past, and now they are also engraved in the bones of Wuhan people. Born by water, hot in nature, informal, the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is like blood, flowing on the people of Wuhan, "nine birds in the sky, Hubei guys on the ground" now, it is regarded as a kind of compliment. I have always felt that the memory that really belongs to a city should be the kind of story that belongs to the little people, and it should be the triviality of life. After all, no one can escape life itself, those homeless people, street gangsters, and gang bosses in a sense. They are all "chasing" their own lives, writing their seemingly accidental but in fact inevitable stories, and I have heard similar stories more or less when I was a child. , the combination of these elements will always give people infinite reverie, the pursuit of dancing on the edge, the humanity tested by money, the rivers and lakes made up of blood and flesh, and it is quite a strange thing that happens in the corners and alleys that I am familiar with. Rivers and lakes will always be dominated by young people. If those old, dead, and forgotten people can read this story, their tears will be unstoppable. The most impressive thing in the film is that the protagonists keep hiding. The curtain of the entrance, it is dim, cheap, luminous, thin like a piece of paper, it will be broken in a pinch, but it has repeatedly made the protagonist have a corner of temporarily breathing, when Gui Lunmei played the "accompanying swimmer" walking through a piece of printing. Full of high-rise buildings, full of propaganda curtains of modern and modern life, she may never have imagined that in the near future, it will become true, as if she did not know what she did, and she was already marked by fate in the dark. On the price, the rivers and lakes seem to be eventful all the time, but in different eras, different characters have extremely similar fates, and that kind of thing that cannot be avoided and cannot compete with is called fate. Stories are imaginary stories, and so do people. The person I imagined, but I always feel that something is missing. The movie is called the party at the southern station. Wuhan is not a typical southern city, and certainly not a northern city. , it is located in central China, in the Jianghan Plain, at the corner of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, its name is Wuhan, "Wuhan" is the best label for "Wuhan", it does not need to be defined in terms of north and south, where the People have their own sorrows and joys. Last but not least, it has been almost ten years since I moved out of the urban village. I occasionally go back and look at the newly built shopping malls, the brand-new subway, and the bustling people coming and going. This is no longer the "Wuhan" of my boyhood. Every generation of Wuhan Everyone has their own Wuhan, but it is building roads all the time as always, and the construction site is still everywhere, especially the bus drivers in Wuhan, who drive and speak as if they are back in the past, those who are stuck in Wuhan like the tip of a needle The old buildings on the new territory, the old buildings are still alive, and still remain in the rivers and lakes that some people never talk about, but never forget.

    Apart from my retrospective screening at the Adana Film Festival in Turkey, there was only one Chinese film that had participated in the Cannes competition. I went to see it before it was released in China. The dialogue at the scene was low, and it was spoken in Hubei dialect (I thought it was Sichuan dialect at first). In many places, I couldn't hear it clearly. I had to read English subtitles to understand it. There are many foreign audiences. After watching it, they say it looks like a Hollywood crime movie. The director's skill in making black crime films is very good, but the main characters are thin and vague. Although blood, killing, and pornography are numerous, they can't add weight to the film.

    Let’s talk about my personal perception. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious: the vision is very stylized, the dampness and miscellaneousness of the south are very bright, the zoo scene is especially liked, and the action violent scenes are also very Wending style. But the film is a bit rough, the paragraphs are not very coherent, the details of the play also need to be polished, the characters have not stood up, and after listening to the creative intentions, I feel that there is no thinking, and there is still room for improvement.
