For Wang Xiaoshuai, Auld Lang Syne is a masterpiece. In this film, as a director, he is no longer just expressing a feeling or a story like The Intruder, I 1 1, and 17-year-old Bicycle, but calmly and solidly exploring stories belonging to little people in the pulse of the China era. A series of historical events in China, such as the strike hard and the wave of laid-off, brought out the love and pain of a China family in the era of change, and thus induced the audience's complex feelings about the past era.
In Forever, children are the opportunity for the plot to unfold and the key to promote the development of the plot. The eldest son who died unfortunately, the second child who miscarried because of the only child, and the rebellious adopted son all made a happy family suffer too much fate. However, under the framework of family ties, the workers' family composed of Liu He in the film, their sufferings are not only due to bad karma and old grievances of Aiko.
Facing the hardships of fate and times, the film not only focuses on how an ordinary and kind family is gradually on the verge of collapse, but also focuses on how they gradually learn to reconcile with life in the face of vicissitudes. When more than 30 years were condensed into a three-hour film, the film used a lot of interpolation and flashback to deconstruct the times. Its changeable time and region not only created drama for the film, but also described Wang Xiaoshuai's hope list.
What is Wang Xiaoshuai's Forever? At the end of the film, there is no deliberate grandstanding or innuendo, but a reconciliation of "everything is fine" ends the film. China people have always exercised restraint when expressing their feelings. In the face of unchangeable life and death, they are kind and simple, and at the bottom, they can only choose to endure in helplessness. Such "eternity" may not make the film a realistic work full of realistic problems.
Life, in fact, is to grow up in constant loss and learn to live in a seemingly insurmountable life, just like Mr. and Mrs. Liu lost their children in Auld Lang Syne. Although this kind of pain really can't heal for a lifetime, I hope that one day you can face it calmly and last forever. Poetry and books in literature/dreams
