After the wind blew her beige collar and the spring was immersed in the fragrance, I watched Forever again. After watching the movie for the second time, the excitement and pleasure in my heart disappeared, and I unconsciously began to think about the social significance of this film, wondering what the director Wang Xiaoshuai discussed through this film. What impact does it have on society? Is it positive or negative?
Auld Lang Syne has spanned the most incredible 3 years in China's history, and it is more generalized or at a loss than movies that focus on portraying characters or express their views on a historical event. Just as I felt after seeing it for the first time, "the wind blows her beige collar and the spring is immersed in the fragrance", I feel my head is blank, just like falling in love with a girl, which seems to be full of pleasure and fun, but in fact I have done nothing. Specifically, it is about the expression of time span and theme:
First, it has spanned 3 years, but I don't know how history has changed
From family planning to market economy, society has made great efforts in population standardization and economic operation. Correspondingly, we saw in the movie that Liu Yaojun and Wang Liyun had a second child, but they had to be forced to have an abortion because of the family planning policy. Originally, this incident was to show people how human sacrifice succumbed to the laws of nature in the process of social development, but the film attributed the biggest reason of this incident to the loss of independence.
Losing one's independence means cruelty, so the audience will naturally forget the function of family planning and pay too much sympathy and attention to the tragic situation of the couple. I don't know how the director thought when designing this plot. But as far as the film is concerned, the value of film art has been completely defeated by commercial considerations. As Wang Xiaoshuai, the film artist that everyone is looking forward to, I think this is also the director's choice, a choice about how to make the art shrink, get more ordinary audiences to like it, and buy tickets by word of mouth.
second, should the tide flow to the sea or dry up in the desert
A few years ago, a creative team, New World, was popular on the Internet. I will always remember their slogan in my life: we inspire people to change the direction.
if the tide flows to the sea, it will give people reasons to be happy and often bring carnival all over the world; If the tide points to the desert, people will be frightened, and even more, ordinary people will lose confidence in life and ambition. But this is the appearance, in the world of will: when the tide flows to the sea, the raging tide of huge waves will make people excited and suffocate, lose their thinking ability, and indulge in joy without Zibo; But it's different when the tide points to the desert. People will panic and think about how to survive. Why doesn't the tide flow to the sea and give birth to us and our children and grandchildren in a plump posture?
Unfortunately, Wang Xiaoshuai chose the sea. Just as I felt when I watched Forever for the first time, I saw the scene of Qi Xi smoking flue-cured tobacco in the snow scene, and I had a beautiful and sad illusion in my mind. I thought everything was beautiful. It seems that a spring breeze blows, quietly blowing a beautiful girl's white collar, her body fragrance is scattered between heaven and earth, and we close our eyes and it is heaven. Any pain she doubts is the cornerstone of this beautiful shot now.
Unfortunately, this psychedelic memoir of a chicken soup world is listed as a master's work.
The cross-section of Forever is quite broad, but the depth of the theme is almost zero. Just like Roy, the little hero in the film, he followed the times, and there should have been many ups and downs and psychological evolution, but he acted like a shadow in the film.
We saw the movie talk about the loss of independence and wandering of Liu Yaojun's family like a running account. Emotional repression and release between Liu Yaojun and Qi Xi; Then use metaphorical Confucianism to resolve the contradiction between the two families. At first glance, it is full of philosophy and expresses a lot of things, but it is empty and, to put it bluntly, empty. It's just that I put more thought into the camera, editing and cast. Compared with the master works we expected, the gap between the first time we enjoyed this film is really huge.
Assuming that the film is played by Roy's Yong Bok Chu step by step, and depicting the 3-year changes from the pure soul of this era, I believe that Forever will give us some more meaningful thoughts and make the film have a higher level. I hope that film creators can be more sincere and less deceptive. Compared with the commercial films that are extremely eager to make money, Forever is just using more thoughts and film investment skills! Fine products are insincere.
