Chapter 1531: When I grow up, I finally become you
"Big Fish" is Li Yi's first film after winning the Oscar for Best Director, and this film does not have the war part in the original version that made Chinese people very unhappy, so it is natural for it to be imported into China.
In fact, although many things in this movie are of North American style, such as Edward's outlook on life, love, etc., in fact, because it is a relatively mainstream outlook on life, "Big Fish" is
The domestic release does not have a worse reputation than the one in North America. On the contrary, because compared to North America, the family relationship is actually more important in China.
And "Big Fish" has a lot of aura blessings, so it is obviously not a popcorn commercial blockbuster, but it has become a popular and topical commercial blockbuster.
And because of Li Yi's identity, "Big Fish" has been interpreted differently by some fans.
"As expected of a dog director, I feel that his skill in sensationalizing and tear-jerking has improved again. At first glance, there is nothing sensational about "Big Fish", but who can tell me that I actually cried during the funeral scene!"
"There are actually many things in "Big Fish" that are rarely seen in Hollywood. For example, when a person knows how he will end up, he will be fearless in the process and pursue what he wants bravely, even foolishly.
Silly blessing.
It can be said that this is a typical core of stupid people having stupid blessings! Rather than saying that the brave have no fear, it is better to say that the ignorant have no fear! Yes, Edward himself cannot see the way of his death, no one can.
, but this does not prevent him from thinking and imagining for himself! And this gives him the courage to face everything!"
"When I saw this movie, I suddenly felt a lot of emotions. However, it was not my father, but it reminded me of my grandfather. I don't know if anyone is like me. My grandfather is a veteran who has been on the battlefield and once served as a soldier.
Bandit, he always liked to tell my dad and us grandchildren about his past when he was alive. Those stories were obviously processed in the same way, but we all believed them to be true and admired them.
My grandfather.
But as we grew older and acquired a broader knowledge base, none of us were willing to sit quietly beside our grandfather and listen to him talk about his turbulent and glorious past.
Because we always think that grandpa is bragging, but when grandpa was buried, the military medals that were found made us extremely ashamed! Unfortunately, even if we want to listen to grandpa’s stories now, we can’t hear them anymore!”
"The extremely disgusting saying "you'll know blabla when you become a parent" really comes true in this movie. Maybe it's because I am already a mother of two children, so I understand this.
Movie. Anyway, I really cried!"
Liu Fei, a die-hard fan of Li Yi, is now a father, so he particularly likes this movie.
I wrote a review for this movie for the first time.
"First of all, the introduction defines this as a fantasy movie, but the shooting method is a combination of reality and fiction.
All I can say is that it’s you, Director Dog, who is as awesome as ever!
For the son Will in the movie, his father Edward has been talking about his past experiences since he was a child. He tells stories one by one. The stories are all fantastic. His father encountered witches, giants, circuses, and twins who share the same body.
And a big fish that no one can catch. The son was very excited when he was a child, but became bored when he grew up, because he felt that everything his father said was false, and he also felt that his father would tell his legendary experiences anytime and anywhere regardless of the occasion.
It was very embarrassing. In the end, the son had a quarrel with his father and left his hometown...
When the son grew up and got married, the father grew old and became ill, but the father's stories still did not stop and he began to tell his daughter-in-law.
The father in the movie is really a very cute old man.
So the question is, what is so touching about the movie?
In fact, there are two voices on the Internet. One is that the movie is mediocre and even a little confusing. What is the movie supposed to say?
Another one is moved to tears, but when I look back carefully, I still don’t understand why such a movie moved me to such a complete mess!
Let’s analyze what’s so touching about the movie!
First of all, we have to ask a question: In the eyes of every child, what kind of father does he dream about?
I believe that many people don’t have a clear answer to this question, because it’s not the kind of father we fantasize about that determines the kind of father we will have.
The father is there, no matter what your relationship is, the father-son (daughter) relationship is there!
Going back to the movie, I have to say that when Will was a child, he admired his father very much. The bizarre stories his father told were nothing short of wonderful to the children. They were not the picture books and fairy tales we saw.
Comparable. Such a father is probably the perfect elder in the eyes of every child.
Not only Will, I believe that if you can be like Edward, your child will also regard you as the most admired object. He will tell the story to many children and be proud of it!
In "Big Fish", the relationship between father and son is actually divided into three stages.
The first stage is when he was a child. At that time, Will's relationship with his father Edward was undoubtedly very good. He admired his father who could tell bizarre stories and was also his own father!
The second stage is the pain of growing up. At the beginning of adolescence, the children gradually grow up, start to think independently, distinguish truth from falsehood, and start to rebel. Therefore, the relationship between Will and Edward has reached a deadlock!
But this stage is long, because we who are not parents don’t understand it at all.
In the third stage, when we become parents, we realize that raising our children by ourselves is not just about playing with us, but also more about eating, drinking, sleeping, and worrying about all kinds of things. In that state, the father in the movie still remains interesting.
On the other hand, I tell those stories to the children with great interest, whether they are fictional or true, there is a lot of love in them.
The ways in which these loves are expressed are different! What remains the same is the love a parent has for his or her children!
Why are we moved?
In fact, the reason is very simple. It is a feeling of "when I grow up, I finally become you"!
This is another way of saying "you'll find out when you become a parent."
As every child grows up, he may feel disillusioned with his parents.
When we are children, we will think that our parents are the best and our gods. If we have any difficulties or confusions, we will turn to our parents for help as soon as possible. But when we grow up...
Just as Will grew up, he resented his father continuing to tell those stories and felt that others would be embarrassed. At this time, the father he had admired since childhood became disillusioned in his eyes, so the atmosphere between him and his father became worse and worse. However,
, when his father became seriously ill, he brought his pregnant wife home.
On the day when he was critically ill, Will stayed with him in the hospital. His father was already in a very bad condition. He asked Will how he died when he saw him in the witch's glass eye. Will said to his father regretfully:
"I don't know that story, you haven't told me." However, he saw tears of sad anticipation flowing out of the corners of his father's eyes, and his lips began to tremble, so he could only stroke his father's shoulder and said, "Okay, I
Try it, but I need you to help me get started."
The father looked at Will with pleading eyes and said, "From here."
Will started his idea. He now understood his father's thinking. He tried to use his father's mind to think about the problem. Since his father liked big fish and often imagined that he was a big fish, he had to arrange the ending of a big fish.
So he said: "It was one morning. I fell asleep next to your bed. When I woke up, I saw you. You seemed to be much better. You said to me, let's get out of here. You asked me to
The wheelchair was pushed over, and you said we didn't have much time, and we would be safe as long as we left here. You got on the wheelchair, and we fled together. Doctors, nurses, and guards all came to stop us..." At this moment, the scene also rehearsed.
Then the story started to flow smoothly. The camera followed Will's description and allowed us to see the ideal scene of his father's death: Will pushed him and started to escape, and Will's wife and mother also appeared in the picture.
During the trip, they tried their best to stop the nurses from chasing. Will successfully pushed his father into the elevator and ran downstairs. "Your precious little antique red car is parked there. It is very new and shiny. I picked it up."
You, put it in the car..."
In the picture, Will drove his father across the highway in a car. There was a traffic jam on the way. His father's giant friend suddenly fell from the sky, pushed all the cars in front of him, opened up a special road, and they quickly drove to the river. All
Everyone was waiting by the river. All the friends in Edward's life, including all the members of the circus, the conjoined twins, the widow, the poet Nord, all the people of Ghost Town, and his comrades in the army...their faces
No one in the room looked sad or sad. They all wanted to see Edward and bid him a happy farewell.
Will held Edward's body and walked slowly to the river. Edward kept saying goodbye to his old friends. At this time, Sandra was also standing on the water, happily waiting for Edward. Will put his father's body
Entering the water, Edward suddenly turned into a big fish. He circled around for a while and slowly swam toward the center of the water...
This story, like every story his father has told before, is full of whimsy and golden warmth. After the son’s story was told, his father passed away quietly in such a wonderful fantasy. So, this last story,
The son made it up for his father, not what the father once said he saw in his glass eyes.
In fact, it was only at this time that Will truly understood the meaning of his father's stories.
So, after his son grew up, he finally became another father. The last scene shows Will's son happily telling his friends these magical stories about his grandfather, and Will, who has become a father, is excited
Responded to his son cheerfully.
In our arrogant youth, we were impatient and tired of our parents, and always felt that we could never be such people. However, when I looked back on my parents' years in my thirties, I found that I still have some of them in me.
Shadow. At this time, there is no disillusionment, but the feeling of "When I grow up, I finally become you". We do not seek to copy our parents, but accept the influence our parents give us, and live out our own open-mindedness on this basis.
.
Just like Will in the end, he is actually continuing his father's life in his own way.
Of course, if a movie wants to touch people, it must be more than just these.
What moved me in the movie was not only Will's transformation, but the supporting characters were also impressive.
I don’t know if anyone will notice Sandra as the mother. In the movie, no matter what fantasy stories her father tells or how unhappy her son is, she always looks at her husband with admiration. When her husband and son have a relationship, she always looks at her husband with admiration.
She didn't do anyone's work, she just encouraged her son to know more about his father.
The second is their family doctor. In the father's story, he was not there on the day Will was born. The baby popped out of his mother's belly in a very funny way and slid down the corridor for a long time, which made the doctors and nurses wonder.
He was shocked. When his father was seriously ill and hospitalized, he told Will the real birth situation. It was unremarkable, but he said he liked his father's version.
Yes, in those scenes where the son is tired of his father, everyone else is listening to the old man's stories with great interest.
Love needs to be watered with heart. The movie actually interspersed many scenes. After Will began to try to understand his father, he discovered that all his father's fantasy stories were based on prototypes, but with romantic colors added, such as the giant.
It's not actually that high, but it's still very high. For example, conjoined twins, there are indeed such a pair of twins, but they are not conjoined...
These romantic colors constitute Will's wonderful childhood and his father's interesting soul. The touch of this movie comes more from when the young son asked to tell stories, and those bizarre stories came out one by one. Here, it is touching
Deepest fatherly love.
Finally, Edward's life is not the life of each of us!
I once rode a horse and sang loudly, and I also sang softly.
There have been friends who have been with me for life, and there have also been feelings that I feel regretful about missing.
But nothing is as important as his family, wife and children.
He gave up his dream of being a big fish that no one could catch.
Therefore, please do not look down upon these fat-bellied and aging men in your family with disdain.
He is also a big fish. For you, he has to breathe on land with thin air.
Those who live with dreams are lucky, and those who die with dreams are immortal. May you and I both live as a light and become a story told by others.
Edward did it, so his story is actually more exciting than what he tells it! Isn't it?
