Chapter 1203 After the horse is shoed, there will be iron
Of course, various excessive interpretations will not actually affect ordinary audiences.
Well, to put it another way, in fact, most viewers will only hear: "Oh, there is a movie "Into the Dust" that is quite popular recently."
Yes, they don't think that the current domestic social culture has become a middle-class culture.
The popularity created by these topics makes the movie look more "hot".
But this is enough.
And more film critics and more media people focus on the movie itself.
Such as details.
Liu Fei, as a rich second-generation film critic, does not understand the countryside at all.
The suffering in rural areas is actually very unfamiliar to him.
"I, Liu Fei, and those who know me, all know that I have never suffered much since I was a child. Therefore, if you ask me to comment and dig out these things from this aspect, you are obviously making things difficult for me, Liu Fei.
Details, details, details.
The third detail is looking at each other.
So let's look back and enter the first highlight, the blind date. In the middle of the meal, Tie's brother suddenly went out to beat and scold the donkey, scolding it for eating too much, and asked it how much more it would eat? At this time, Ma had
Tie is also eating. This also implies the relationship between You Tie and his brother. He has always been a cow and a horse in this family, and he is the donkey.
At the same time, there is also a rather ironic point. If it were not for the panda blood, the people in the village would not even know that Ma Laosi is Ma Youtie.
I think there are actually two perspectives: in the brother and sister-in-law's house, in the village, there is iron and there is donkey; but does the film want to tell the audience that the horse has iron inside is extremely precious, which is very rare nowadays, but there are many
No one can see it.
Later, we quickly learned that the fourth child was the male protagonist, and his name was Ma Youtie. This was almost a clear indication that the horse was nailed with iron paws, which is a symbol of being tamed and the beginning of becoming a donkey. A free wild horse is not
It will be "iron". In addition, the donkey in the film wears a big iron bell on its neck, which is very conspicuous and keeps tinkling, echoing the name Ma Youtie.
Including the moment when Youtie walked into the house dirty and sat down to eat, a young boy playing with his mobile phone in the background suddenly got up and walked out. That was Youtie's nephew who was about to get married, and it was also because of his nephew's dislike that this
The family decided to kick the hard-working Youtie out of the house on the pretext of marrying a wife and starting a new family. Later, the lines between the matchmaker and the hostess also echoed this detail.
He takes credit and pays it back no matter what. This is the most basic integrity of his life.
A horse has iron and a donkey, but he has the blood of a panda.
I believe everyone who has watched the movie will easily remember that the first shot of the film is a window of an adobe house, and a woman keeps calling for the fourth child off-screen. While the audience is waiting for the fourth child to appear from the window, a donkey appears.
He stuck his head out of the window and looked towards the source of the sound, and then the real No. 4 appeared from the window. This was the first hint - No. 4 was the donkey.
This can be seen from the things Ma Youtie did after that. He did not repay the favor and regarded the reward given by the other party as a loan.
In my opinion, many things shown in this movie are hidden in the details.
First, the first detail, donkey!
A horse with iron is a donkey!
It’s the same scene. When Ma Youtie was called to eat, he brought a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. My brother said to him, there are vegetables on the table, why did you bring rice and steamed buns at the same time? I thought
This detail has two meanings. The first one is that Ma Youtie has been mistreated in this family and he is used to eating only staple food. The second layer is that the staple food is grains, and the donkey basically only eats grains.
This plot is actually very interesting. Some people may say that this plot was arranged just to show being sucked by blood.
The selfishness of human nature is vividly displayed at this moment.
Even at this blind date dinner, Guiying has been eating staple food, which implies that she is in the same situation as Youtie.
From the initial request to rescue Zhang Yongfu, the villagers began to feel disgusted and complained, saying that they were the ones who needed to be saved. However, when they learned that they only needed horses and iron, their reactions were completely different. They began to laugh and began to have nothing to do with themselves.
Hang high.
In addition, the poorest old widower in a village and the richest boss in the village have the same blood type. In fact, from this point of view, the essence of each of our lives is the same, and there is no high or low.
divided.
Isn’t it interesting? There is iron, there is iron, there is iron, there is iron, haha. I admire Director Li Yi for directly showing what is hidden in the name. Of course, it is possible that I am overthinking it.
Why do you think so? Let’s take a look at the details shown in the movie.
Let’s look at the second detail, panda blood!
Even if it's just these, this is a movie that can be called an explosion of details.
Etc., etc.
The bad director is also very good at using the plot to criticize the mulberry and the huaihuai. It is obviously a very life-like plot, but it is hard not to make people think about it.
Is this a strange setting? But you have to admit that this is a very real setting.
Therefore, I only interpret this film from the film itself.
Putting aside the emotional doubts, I still think this is a good movie, because it shows the skill of the director. Although I am not a director, I have learned about this industry. I have also read countless films, and we know many works.
It is common to use lines to narrate, which is not efficient or advanced. In this movie, the above plot only lasts three minutes, and a large amount of information is conveyed in details through seemingly simple shots.
But I think it's not just that.
The above is a summary of the detailed metaphor about donkeys and about the fact that a horse with iron is a donkey.
Let’s not talk about anything else but the movie itself.
Why mention this in particular?
Because I think this is a very, very moving design in this movie, that is, the two glances between Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying.
During the blind date between Youtie and Guiying, the two actually never looked at each other. After Youtie went out to feed the donkey and returned to his house, the camera stopped moving: on the right side of the picture was a mirror.
You Tie is eating, and there is a wooden door on the left side of the picture. There is heavy snow falling inside the wooden door frame. Guiying is standing in the snow, staring straight at You Tie, motionless, even a little sluggish. At this time, You Tie
He raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head shyly, completing the first time the two of them looked at each other.
The last time the two people looked at each other was after Guiying's death, in their new home. It was also a fixed-camera shot: on the right side of the screen was Tie, who was eating an egg, and on the left side of the screen was Guiying's posthumous photo.
She was placed in a wooden frame and stared directly at Youtie, motionless and a little dull. At this time, Youtie raised his head and glanced at her, then silently lowered his head, completing the last time the two of them looked at each other.
If you look at it carefully, if you freeze these two scenes for comparison, you will find that the two looks at each other, the characters' eyes, movements, and positional relationships are almost exactly the same. Even Guiying is also the same.
It was also installed in a wooden frame, but the first time it was a door frame, and the second time it was a photo frame. Because there are so many detailed echoes between these two shots, I believe it must have been deliberately designed by the director.
The echoes of looking at each other one after the other will give you a sense of sadness, as if one glance has lasted for thousands of years and everything has changed.
