We are senior animals. We have more emotions than ever before, positive, negative, meaningful, unreasonable, funny, boring, unsympathetic, multi-hearted, hypocritical, honest, friendly, malicious, noble, obscene of. We are born with self-awareness, we can breathe, see, hear, eat, drink, pull, pee, cry, and laugh. With the ability to think independently, we can easily deny everything that others have paid, and laugh at the lives of everyone we see. When we're bored, we put our middle fingers up, yell "fuck you," and feel lost.
Don't deny that in the past ten or twenty years, you have seen too many erotic love. Either out of physical needs, or for psychological comfort, red, green, and green idiots linger in this crowded city, in the dimly lit mountains and on the barren land, skin to skin, lips to lips, while playing with themselves and each other. of her genitals, with hot tears streaming down her cheeks. Each person has multiple identities, and each soul has several aspects. Love and money, hatred, and even other feelings are intertwined and indistinguishable from each other. If you look down from an altitude of several thousand meters, you will witness pieces of red light lust, the coldness of blue-gray leaching at the edge of the crowd, and the flickering breath from the spiritual level. This is the love that we generally acquiesce to today.
The story background of "Suzhou River" is also quite common in contemporary China. "I often take a camera to photograph the Suzhou River by myself. Down the river, from west to east, through Shanghai. The legends, stories, memories, and all the rubbish from nearly a century have accumulated here, making it Become the dirtiest river." At the beginning of the film, the dirtiest river in the photographer's mouth is a metaphor for this filthy, rubbish society. The people who live on this river are busy walking on their own life track, and they are used to everything and take it for granted.
"Looking for a long time, this river will let you see everything. Seeing people in labor, seeing friendship, seeing fathers and children, seeing loneliness. I also saw the birth of a baby on a mooring boat. , I have seen a girl jump off the bridge into the Suzhou River, and I have seen the bodies of a pair of young lovers being dragged from the water by the police." The ending of the film has already been revealed here, and then, the legend of "Mermaid" is revived. Add a layer of mystery to the story. The most beautiful things appear on the dirtiest river, will the purest love bloom on this stinking garbage heap?
Peony, Meimei, two girls who are crazy about love, are also destined to be marked with tragedy. Ma, played by Jia Hongsheng, is 27 years old. He lives as confused as most young people. Apart from being alive, he doesn't know what else he should care about. Xiao Hong, Ma Ma's ex-girlfriend (actually, in Ma Ma's opinion, this woman seems to be optional in addition to providing him with a job), used Ma Ma to approach Mudan, waited for an opportunity to kidnap, and sold votka to Mudan's father Blackmail money. There were two accidents in the process. First, Ma fell in love with Peony. As the narration said, "Two people who had never met before sat together, and then, of course, it was love." Second, in After getting the money, Xiao Hong was stabbed in the belly by his accomplice, and died by the Suzhou River full of doubts and sorrows. To deceive others is to be deceived after all.
The peony holding the mermaid doll, the beauty of the mermaid in the bar. As mentioned above, the love symbolized by mermaids exists in the hearts of these two girls. Knowing that her love was being used, Peony jumped into the Suzhou River resolutely, and at the same time awakened Ma's desire for love. He began to search hard for Peony, that is, to find the purest love. We can even boldly imagine that at the end of the film, the motor of Peony was finally found, and it was not an accident that it fell into the Suzhou River together with Peony due to excessive drinking. After Peony commits suicide, there must be something in Maa's spiritual world that collapses because he loves her. Looking for peony is actually a kind of psychological suggestion, implying that peony is not dead, to excuse his guilty soul. And when he does find Peony, the illusion created by all this collapses again, and the motor goes crazy. He didn't know how to keep Peony by his side forever, and he didn't know how to make this beautiful feeling last, so he chose to drive his most beloved motorcycle and his most beloved woman, and fell into the Suzhou River together.
Meimei, who was mistaken for a peony by Ma, always thought that the peony in Ma's mouth was just a story. When she saw Peony's body, with the same face as herself, she went crazy too. "If I leave one day, will you look for me like a motor? Will you keep looking? Will you always find death? You lie." One morning, Meimei disappeared into the fog of Suzhou River, waiting for her own That love finds itself back. And the photographer questioned this desperate love, he did not believe that everything would be forever, and would rather wait for the next love to appear.
On July 5, 2010, 43-year-old Jia Hongsheng jumped from the 14th floor of the community where he lived and died on the spot. The triple torture of drugs, life, and love has ruined him, causing his depression and schizophrenia, and before him, only the light of death seems to open up. Before he died, he wrote on the Internet, "I dreamed of that dragon again, he was coiled on the roof, his eyes were fixed on me, he asked me who you are? I said I was Jia Hongsheng, he Who is Jia Hongsheng? I said Jia Hongsheng graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, is an actor, loves rock music, loves Lennon and Robert Plant, once wanted to be a great actor, and also wanted to form a great band. He said you Nothing, just a person, you like to eat noodles, eggs, you like to wear fashionable clothes, you can cry and laugh, and you can ask for help when you can't stand it. I asked him why I was here? He said it was for you Because you have too many evil things on your body, you must clean up these evil things before you can be completely clean. I asked him if I was clean? He didn't answer, and his eyes were still fixed on me. Then it flew away, you are alone, you are alone, you are alone, you are alone.” We never imagined that he was crazy like a motor, and he kept asking questions and could not get any answers. A statement issued by Jia Hongsheng's family reads, "Hongsheng is pursuing a state that none of us can give him. He has gone to find him, let us quietly help him walk well...As a family, we respect his Choice."
Jia Hongsheng will be forever sealed in our memory along with this film. We will never know what happened in Jia Hongsheng's mind before he fell to the ground.
Maybe a poppy blooming on a rubbish heap.
