"Oldboy" is certainly not a big production, and this kind of short film is actually not uncommon.
A simple story or simple music may not be able to make so many netizens feel so deeply, but the combination of the two has produced a sublimation, making this micro movie, but the seemingly ordinary scenes, deeply touching.
Everyone's dusty memory.
Some netizens commented: "This is not only youth, but also ideal. This is not funny, it is the elimination of ideals.
Because youth is too short, we can only have it for a moment!
Because the ideal is so beautiful, serious and heavy, we dare not look directly at it.
We can only let him put on a cloak that looks funny and dissipate it so that no one can see that this was our ideal before we dare to secretly take another look at him from a distance.
An idealist is forever young."
"Eating scallion pancakes baked by my wife and drinking soy milk, I laughed at first, and then burst into tears! I raised my head silently, not wanting to let the tears fall, I'm sorry, dream!"
"When it comes to dreams, I always subconsciously choose to complain, but now I think about it, it is just our escape, and today I want to understand, why should we be too rational and sober in front of such a movie, why not just leave those dreams happily?
Tears, because when you always thought you were withering life, in fact you were being withered by life, we can't tell you how helpless you are; when you will finally walk out or have already walked out of the door of youth, no matter how much you miss it, some things
It won’t happen again, we are sad after all.”
"Actually, it wasn't "Oldboy" that moved me, it was my own experiences that moved me. Maybe this is the genius of Director Gou, who can always make us inadvertently touch our dusty memories.
"
"It's not that the movie is too good, but that there are too many failures in reality. Just a spark can ignite the sadness in people's hearts in this "feeling era"."
"The feeling is due to feelings and ideals. This is a movie truly dedicated to the post-80s generation. It is full of confidence."
"Those who say that only losers can be moved, I admit, this is probably the journey of every middle-aged loser. After all, we were all once green teenagers full of dreams. Damn it, it made me cry."
"Perhaps there were too many things raging in my heart, so I suddenly felt like I had nothing to say. I frowned and looked at the screen, and suddenly felt that everything around me was so unreal."
“I saw a lot of people saying they cried after watching the ending, but I didn’t believe it. I ended up crying so much that my brain hurt. In fact, I felt like crying when I saw the dim night view of the imperial capital. Later, the playground looked too much like my high school.
I can’t hold it anymore. I collapse at the end, dream, do you still remember me?”
For a time, in many places, many people silently picked up their mobile phones to find a number that was in their address book but had not dialed it for a long time, and dialed it.
Maybe it's just a greeting, maybe we meet for a drink, maybe we chat about each other's current situation, remember the girl we had a crush on, and share each other's present...
No one thought that a clichéd theme, a theme that has been filmed badly - dreams, nostalgia, dream chasing... These short films are called clichéd and vulgar themes by many people nowadays.
, the result was a wave of collective memories on the Internet.
It can only be said that being cliché or vulgar is just because it has never been touched. Once it is touched, it is no longer cliché or vulgar, but a detonated tear gas!
Compared with the original version, "Oldboy" produced by Li Yi is naturally much more refined, and it avoids the flaw of mistaking vulgarity for sentimentality, which was the most criticized film in the past. Although "Oldboy" also has some
It's a funny picture, but it's less obscene, making it easier for people to accept.
At the same time, of course, it is also inseparable from the full promotion of Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video. After all, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of the deep alley.
Yes, it is true that "Oldboy" is, in a sense, for the frustrated. There is no need to deny this. Even Li Yi thinks so. After all, if you have realized your dream, then watching
Naturally, a video like this won't be that touching.
But on the other hand, what Li Yi likes about this film is that there are many regrets in the film regarding the definition of success.
The performance at the graduation party was not completed, the girl he had a crush on did not accept him, and in the end the man of the hour fell into the home of the fat girl, and the school beauty became the canary of the timid and cowardly Bao Xiaobai who was despised back then, etc.
etc.
Life cannot be perfect, let alone youth.
Even for a person who has successfully realized his dream, there are still regrets of one kind or another that remain deep in his memory.
The charm of this movie is that it can always remind different people of their different regrets.
Just like first love, it will always be the white moonlight in every man's heart, but how many wives today are first loves?
Bao Xiaobai became a famous producer and had his own company. He successfully raised the school beauty who could only be seen from a distance but not played with at home, and the aloof goddess became his own woman. Everything seemed to be perfect.
But when he saw two old classmates singing loudly on the stage, he couldn't help but feel startled, because that was his youth too.
Yes, the current school beauty is his woman, but is this really the girl he liked back then?
Does she like herself?
I’m afraid that’s not necessarily the case, right?
Back then, she didn't even want to look at herself.
That arrogant, that school beauty who looked down upon him might be the real Bai Yueguang in his mind!
Different people naturally have different interpretations of this movie.
Some people think that this movie and that song are not sad at all.
"Actually, this movie is really good. Fortunately, I really like the ending. Bao Xiaobai successfully got his revenge, but was he really happy in the end? Although Fang Jianbin and Xu Nian were eliminated, they became star singers.
, is it really their dream? I’m afraid it may not be possible? Maybe when they stand on that stage, swaying wildly and singing loudly, it is already their biggest dream!
Xu Nian continued to be his wedding host, and Fang Jianbin continued to live with his fat wife, who was not beautiful but was willing to support him even when the whole world disliked him, and continued their ordinary and happy life.
Everything has returned to calmness, and there is nothing more than the experience of a middle-aged old boy and his wife chatting about their teenage madness. That’s all!”
"Strictly speaking, there is no villain in this movie. Perhaps from the perspective of the protagonist, Bao Xiaobai is not a good person, but in fact, don't each of us actually aspire to be someone like Bao Xiaobai? We often say that we
They all live like the person they hate the most, but in fact, if they really live like Bao Xiaobai, that is what everyone dreams of, right?"
