Thinking about life in the cinema

Like Wang Jiawei, Jia Zhangke has pinpointed the pulse of their audience. I know what you want and what you love. At the same time, this is what I like and am good at. Let us create, you appreciate the excitement, and we all have fun together.

But this is not to say that they have the scheming and the city government, of course, is not wrong. Rather, it means that the stories they love to tell, the sentences they love to create, the scenery they love to photograph, and the people they love to draw are remembered and liked. I haven't seen all Jia Zhangke's movies, "The World", "The Good Man in Three Gorges" and "Apocalypse". This is the fourth one. I haven't seen his more representative "Platform" and "Xiao Wu".

I kept thinking about it when I watched "The Old Man of the Mountains and Rivers". On the one hand, the rhythm of the movie gave people room to think. On the other hand, every plot point made people unable to think of themselves. Family affection and nostalgia are the eternal theme of China. The traditional level of Chinese family values ​​makes many people in such a relationship at times happy and at times sighed. Sometimes I don't know whether my love for my relatives is out of sincere love or a kind of loyalty to this family religion. Every act for the family can't stand back to decompose, although there is always someone saying in your ear: "Everyone can only accompany you a certain way, not everything will be destroyed by time."

From the beginning to the end . The juncture in 2015 is the growth experience of a Chinese woman who seems to be a line drawing. In fact, it is like the scene where the ice is often seen in the film. The undercurrent is surging below, the sound of the waves is rolling below, and the silent ice floes are always in a hurry. The appearance of vanishing. Some symbols in this movie, such as the ice river, the sweater that was later worn by the dog, Ye Qianwen's song, Liang Zi's key, Shen Tao's key, these symbols standardly travel through different time and place characters. It conveys emotions that are essentially unchanged but are sometimes covered up by time and people.

The last story in Australia, Zhang Yi, Zhang Aijia, Dong Zijian, are all actors who have been baptized by commercial films. When the story focuses on the three of them, their temperament is a bit detached, but this is together with those futuristic technology products. Take this passage away from the previous reality. Just as Zhang Daole felt that he was not interested in anything, this story happened on an isolated island. All kinds of wealthy people who really lived here had nothing, and what did they want to be interested in?

My least favorite part is the cry of Zhang Daole and teacher Yun Yu missing their mother after the passing. Maybe it's not that the movie was bad, but that I don't like people who express their feelings too quickly and without reason. Even if I get hit, I don't like the lack of restraint at this moment.

In the end, did Zhang Daole come back home, and how many years did Tao dance in the end? Will she get a new dog? And what am I interested in, what really brought me to this city far away from home? My family members are ruthlessly urged and even despised, how should I face it? Fifteen years from now, am I still as down as I am now? Every ten years, fifteen years, do I also have a story like Tao? Where will my explosives ignite? Why do I rarely cry, while others can often use tears to express their emotions?

After thinking about it a lot, I can't think clearly. I'm going to catch the next "I Am a Witness".
