Chapter 1200 The most terrifying thing is that we have lost the imagination of poverty
It is foreseeable that for film critics and media people, "Warm Spring" is more like a supplement to "Into the Dust".
No way, in these days, the plots of movies like "Warm Spring" are actually a bit simple and cliched, but as a commercial film, it is enough.
But in comparison, "Into the Dust" is more favored by film critics and media people.
After all, at this point in "Into the Dust", for many people, it may be due to those "rural" themed film and television works, so many people have the illusion that in today's domestic rural areas, every household can
If you live in a small western-style building, you can even drive a car.
In fact, the rural life in many film and television works gives people the feeling that it is more abundant and richer than the life of people in the city.
For this reason, the emergence of "Into the Dust" can be said to be the most special local film in recent years.
Because "Into the Dust" does not conceal it and displays the suffering in front of the public in an extremely straightforward manner.
Why do some people say that "Into the Dust" is a peasant film made for the "middle class"?
Because that's the truth.
Who is the biggest audience for the movie?
"What really touches people is often not the deliberate sadness. It may just be the sound of bottles and whistles in the rain trough, the light of a candle on the way home at night, the cold boiling water again and again, and the imprint of wheat on the hands."
"While watching the movie, I often felt uneasy: I was afraid that Ma Youtie would fall when he was standing on the beam, and I was afraid that he would suddenly collapse when Ma Youtie went back to work after being called to draw blood.
When they went down to the river to rub their backs, I was afraid that Guiying would be washed away by the flood. I was even afraid of the flashing lights when they went down to the river. I was also afraid that the donkey would suddenly collapse one day."
The times are developing, the economy is taking off, and as farmers are giving free blood transfusions to the city again and again, many people are getting rich, just like Zhang Yongfu's family. They are undoubtedly the first to get rich, but they are still treating the bottom farmers.
They sucked blood greedily.
As the two films began to be screened for general audiences, there were more and more comments about these two films.
"The current movies are too far away from the earth and the soil. So far away that I often feel suffocated just watching these cruel and real shots. The wheat in the field is destined to be harvested by the sickle, but when harvesting,
Do they hurt? You can't even shed a tear for them, because tears are too hypocritical. From winter to spring to summer to autumn, they live a silent life. Fortunately, there are still people who care! Thank you, Director Li Yi!"
"After watching "Into the Dust" and then watching "Warm Spring", I feel that this may be complete. Simply "Into the Dust" or "Warm Spring" are just one aspect. Only the two together are complete.
Both sides.”
The answer is yes, but objectively speaking, are these wealthy people still farmers?
There are always only a very small number of people who make a fortune by farming. The farmers in the villages become rich. In fact, it is more because they have entered the city and completed the transformation of their status.
Isn't the indifference of human nature shown in "Into the Dust" actually a microcosm of the entire society?"
"I don't remember where I read it. It said that the farmers in China are very good. The farmers are as silent as the soil and as deep as the soil. Ma Youtie is like a Bodhisattva growing out of the soil."
"I watched "Warm Spring" first and then "Into the Dust", and my mood suddenly became extremely bad!"
"It's calm, immersive but not dull, the details are touching, and there are some unique interests. But when I watched it, I felt that I was cruel, and poetry was also a kind of cruel. People who can endure hardship will have more and more hardships for them.
, Those who can endure it will become more and more able to endure it, but once they have seen the beauty of life and the feeling of love, they no longer want to endure it. Living is more uncomfortable than death. And, no matter how miserable and miserable a man is, there will be more pain than death.
He is a worse woman."
Although "Warm Spring" continues the tear-jerking style of director Li Yi, and although "Into the Dust" makes people's hearts choke after watching it, I still prefer "Into the Dust" because film and television works like "Warm Spring", such
There are many works that praise truth, goodness and beauty, but there are too few films like "Into the Dust" that explain suffering."
"It is the farmers who are giving free blood transfusions to the city again and again."
"In the new era, we always see new, interesting, and future things, but the shadow of the past is always there. The pain buried in the blood is the fate of swaying like wheat."
This is a statement on a shallow level, but on a deeper level, the rural areas shown in "Into the Dust" certainly cannot be a universal situation.
Will real farmers become the main crowd watching movies?
Obviously this is impossible. The real majority of people watching movies have always been the "middle class".
"Some people hunt donkeys, and some people protect donkeys; some people don't forget to put tadpoles back into the pond when fetching water, and some people catch toads and tie them to their wrists when passing by; some people say they borrow a yard to return home.
One code, some people ask others to donate blood and ask if your clothes still fit; some people work hard to lay bricks and build houses just so that they can live a stable life; some people apply for buildings for others without consulting in advance and demolish brick houses.
Just for the 5,000 yuan price difference; some people want to find a decent place in the world, and some people choose to hide in the dust. It's been a long time since I've seen such a penetrating local film.
"The most terrifying thing is not that poverty limits our imagination, but that one day we lose our imagination of poverty."
"The story of "Warm Spring" takes place in an era of material scarcity and economic backwardness. However, although the small village in the film is not rich materially, it is extremely full spiritually, and everyone is full of strong human touch.
Some people may find it unreal, but people who came from that era can say with certainty that this is very real. At least in that era, things like that in "Into the Dust" were definitely less common than now.
Just like the Zhang Yongfu family in "Into the Dust", they are actually no longer farmers.
Otherwise, why would there be "Warm Spring"?
Doesn’t it mean that other rural film and television works must be false, because there are farmers who are richer than people in cities?
"Some rural areas are as heart-warming as "Warm Spring", but some are as cruel and desperate as "Into the Dust"!
Of course, this does not mean that there are no negative reviews. In fact, there are quite a few negative reviews.
"I am also from the countryside. Forgive me for my lack of experience. Both "Into the Dust" and "Warm Spring" were shot too deliberately. The former is too bitter and the latter is too sweet, but these are not our real rural areas.
!”
"Director Gou probably doesn't have confidence in the movie and is afraid of being criticized, so he made two movies together. But I have to say, if I should scold him, I still have to scold him. People like Ma Youtie are hard-working and are good at farm work.
, A person who is honest and willing to work will be disliked by others? No, right? However, I can understand it, because Li Yi himself has nothing to do with the countryside, and it feels ridiculous anyway.
It seems that in his eyes, he is either a good person or a bad person! Either he is as humane as in "Warm Spring", or he is as indifferent as in "Into the Dust", as if there are only these two kinds of people in the world."
