It can be said that "Grave of the Fireflies" is indeed a bit cruel to many movie fans.
Especially a cute four-year-old child suffered such tragedy. It can be said that many people said it was difficult to watch it again.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare!
"After watching it, I felt bad all over. Although I knew clearly that history was more cruel than what the movie showed, I just didn't dare to watch it a second time!"
"I was crying so hard that I was out of breath. I was mentally prepared early in the morning, but when I saw Xiaodouzi lying there unable to open his eyes anymore, I still couldn't help but burst into tears!"
"Although I knew in advance that this was a sensational film and that it was destined to be a tragedy, I still cried. I tell you that this is a sad film. Even if you are prepared, you still can't resist! I couldn't help but look up the information from that year.
Reality is far crueler than movies!"
"What moved me most about the whole film was not the death of my mother, nor the massacre in the village, but the happy brother who saw his sister playing alone in the mud under the bright sunshine, and asked, "What are you doing, sister?"
In that sentence, I was building a tomb for my mother. My eyes instantly became wet!"
"Suddenly I thought of the sentence in "I'm Not the God of Medicine": What's wrong with her? She just wanted to live. What's wrong with her? Yes, what's wrong with them? Those thousands of people who died in the war
What's wrong with our compatriots? It's unimaginable that there are still people who speak for those beasts and even engage in harassment. What's the difference between this and forgetting one's ancestors?"
"We should feel happier. We are lucky enough to be born in a peaceful era, and to be born in a prosperous motherland today, instead of the era when Xiaodouzi and the others were in the past! Never forget our past history. Forgetting history is tantamount to betraying the entire nation!"
"That sugar bowl has the power of my brother! Unfortunately, there are always a number of candies, and there will always be a time when they are all gone!"
"It's really cruel. Although the movie doesn't describe too many scenes about the Jinling catastrophe, it's hard to imagine the big picture..."
"I really lack the courage to watch this movie a second time."
"Grave of the Fireflies" did not carry out large-scale publicity, but after word-of-mouth fermentation, it did not need to be specially promoted at all.
But it is enough in itself!
However, Li Yi was comforting Mu Qing at this moment.
One of Mu Qing's aunts passed away. Although she was not a biological aunt, she was a very good friend of her mother. When she was a child, her mother-in-law often asked that aunt to take care of her because of her work.
"Woooooo! Why didn't Aunt Yao tell me about her illness? At least she could have..." Mu Qing said sadly.
Li Yi didn't speak, just hugged his wife quietly and listened to her talk.
Li Yi knew about Mu Qing's Aunt Yao, but he wasn't familiar with her because he didn't have much contact with her.
"To be honest, I really don't feel sorry for Aunt Yao. She has worked hard all her life and has never enjoyed anything. But what about her family members? They usually ignore her and don't even know that she is terminally ill.
She became ill and didn't know until she was about to leave."
"Did you know that there is a demented old lady in her family, and Aunt Yao has taken care of her for many years without any regrets, but what? How did they treat her?"
Mu Qing talked a lot, all complaining about her Aunt Yao!
"How could there be such stupid people in this world? How could there be such indifferent family members?" After finishing speaking, she looked up at Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi sighed and said: "This is a typical Chinese mother. In fact, such things are not uncommon in this society. Why do we always say that people only know how to cherish when they lose it?"
"Yes! You asked me why mothers are always so stupid and stupidly sacrifice everything for their families, but..."
"Because this is mother!" Li Yi sighed.
Although his family, his father and his mother had a special relationship, so he didn't feel it.
But in fact, this is true for most mothers.
"In life, when you get home, you hide those things that you can't help yourself. When facing family members, you often have resentments that come from nowhere. These resentments are usually not directed at outsiders, but only toward their closest relatives. Many people actually
It’s not that they don’t understand this kind of hurt, but it’s often difficult for them to truly repent without it being painful to the bone!” Li Yi said.
He suddenly remembered a movie, a rather controversial one.
The heroine in the movie is very similar to the Aunt Yao that Mu Qing mentioned.
The reason why it is so controversial is mainly because the mother in the movie is so upset!
Li Yi remembered that a review of this movie could be said to represent the feelings of many people after watching it.
Reviewers gave the movie the lowest score possible.
The original film was titled "The Best Goodbye in the World," but the title written by the film critic was full of meaning.
"Where do you see this beauty? It's so beautiful!"
"Oh, let me go, where is the beauty of this parting? I was so angry when I saw it!
After reading this, you will definitely have the idea that you don’t want to get married, you don’t want to have children, and you definitely can’t be a full-time housewife!
This mother's life is too frustrating and tiring, and she doesn't get the corresponding respect and love. Her family's efforts towards her are all taken for granted, and this mother still feels good about herself. I can see it all
desolate!
Husband, son, daughter, younger brother, and a mother-in-law with Alzheimer's disease...
Her alcoholic husband is indifferent to her, her indifferent son is disgusted, her third daughter is ignoring her, she is a scoundrel who is a coward for her gambler brother, and there is also a demented mother-in-law who scolds her and pulls her hair whenever she disagrees, and a bunch of relatives around her,
They collectively ignored her, and they were all extremely selfish to death. Except for the younger siblings, it can be said that the abnormal people in this family would only find trouble, even after they fell ill!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was not until he was about to die that he was cherished a little, and he began to collectively express various sadness and reluctance.
As soon as the bastards show off for a little bit, the audience becomes compassionate. NND, the three views are almost shattered!
Where do you see this beauty? It’s so beautiful!
This kind of collective forced change due to "death" deserves to be praised? Using one's own death in exchange for a family to start a good life? So it is so gratifying? What the hell!
Because your wife, mother and sister left, you have grown up. How can you use this kind of atmosphere to express warmth, sadness and warmth?
Is it really suitable? This is such a failure!
You want to tell us that we should cherish it? But the sensationalism fails to find the right point!
I only see tragedy, the tragedy of a woman’s life!!
There is something wrong with values. This is by no means worthy of praise, let alone being eulogized and sanctified!
Maybe I am a selfish person! But I would rather be selfish!"
It can be said that at this moment, my daughter-in-law's mentality is probably the same as that of this movie viewer, who is very upset!
But the truth is even sadder, because this kind of thing is still happening in real life. Many people like to praise a person, especially a woman, for her sacrifice to express warmth.
For Li Yi, to be honest, he wanted to complain about the original version of "The Most Beautiful Farewell in the World", but gradually he felt relieved.
Movies always tell stories, but the original movie does have a more exaggerated approach.
In fact, is there such a mother?
I'm not saying it's common, but it's certainly not uncommon.
Many people will say that we need to treat families in a more correct way, but what about in reality?
What is often even more difficult to accept is that while you are complaining, have you ever thought that maybe you are not as miserable as your children or husband in the movie, but are you really doing better?
In fact, movies are often two-sided!
For a movie like this, some people find it hard to get over it, feel indignant, and think that the director has made some kind of bullshit movie and that his views are not correct!
However, there are also some people who feel that filming it in theaters does not represent publicity, but reflects the problem and how to solve it should be considered.
Just like when a literary and artistic film director shoots stories about the lower class of society and marginalized characters, the same is not to promote this incorrect lifestyle, but to expose this current situation.
Therefore, Li Yi was relieved.
In fact, to put it bluntly, "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which is very difficult to understand, isn't it even more difficult to understand about the sky-high price of drugs?
It can be said that if it were not for the twist in the ending, this movie would be even more unsettling.
Why?
Why?
There is only one disease in the world that has no cure, and that is the disease of poverty!
Everyone knows this truth, but what next?
The same principle applies to "The Most Beautiful Farewell in the World". Of course, in fact, the heroine's family in the movie is indeed a bit biased, because there may be mothers like this in reality, and there are many, but families like this
There are actually relatively few.
It's just that it's impossible for a movie to capture a completely real situation, but what can be said is that in such a family, for example, the daughter falls in love with a married man, the son also faces the difficult situation of the college entrance examination, etc.
Wait, this situation is indeed special, but is it rare in reality?
There are really quite a few.
"What did you think of?" Seeing Li Yi stunned, Mu Qing immediately guessed that Li Yi must have another idea.
"Tell me, if a situation like your Aunt Yao's was made into a movie, could it alert those children?" Li Yi asked.
Mu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "It should be possible! In fact, I also know that many times, children may not want to do that. They just become accustomed to it and ignore the most important things around them.
In the last days of Aunt Yao's life, her son and daughter kept blaming themselves. Although I still think it was too late for them to repent, it at least proved that they were not as indifferent as they thought!
"
"But if it is really made, I'm afraid there will be quite a big controversy, right?" As a director, Mu Qing naturally knows that this type of movie can easily cause controversy.
Because it is very different from "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" captures a common phenomenon in this society. It can be said that many people have deep feelings about it. Even if they have not experienced it, they have at least heard about it.
Therefore, it is very painful, so "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will resonate with so many people after its release, triggering so many people's discussions and overwhelming support.
But regarding mothers, especially with a family like that, coupled with a series of stories, it is easy to cause controversy.
What controversy?
Li Yi mentioned it before, because although this kind of thing is not uncommon in reality, the heroine's experience, or what happened to Aunt Yao, can easily make people angry.
Especially some independent women these days, it can be said that they really hate this kind of thing.
Not to mention women, even men are equally confused.
And Li Yi is famous enough, and the movie he wants to make will be influential enough, so controversy is inevitable.
But regardless of whether it is difficult to express dissatisfaction, or whether it is a complaint, Li Yi feels that if such a movie is made, it will at least have some meaning.
There will be people who are upset, there will be people who will complain and abuse, which actually proves that the movie is successful.
Why? Because while everyone is complaining about the plot and the mother’s foolish efforts in the movie, do they think of themselves?
Thinking of your mother?
If you can think of cherishing everything around you, cherishing your mother and relatives who love you, then the movie will be considered a success!
To use a netizen's words: Most of us are saying "I love you, Mom," but at the same time, we do all the things that make her sad!
Isn't that exactly what it is?
How many young people are not bothered by their mother’s nagging on the phone?
How many people can bear the grievances they have suffered outside and the resentment they have accumulated, and not break out in front of their loved ones?
How many people will always remember the difficulty of their parents? Filial piety often stays in the gestures and words!
For example, every year on Father's Day and Mother's Day, many people often send blessings to their parents on the Internet, but they forget that they don't receive your so-called blessings at all, so why not say it in person?
Many people in society actually have a wrong understanding of full-time housewives. It can even be said that they think women should be like this and often look down on housewives. But what is the reality?
Little do they know that full-time housewives are a truly ignored group, because most of these people are mothers!
Li Yi told Mu Qing the story he thought of.
After hearing this, Mu Qing let out a long sigh and said, "You really want to take the photo? You will be scolded badly!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "Some people will scold them at first, but I believe everyone will understand soon, right? They do need attention and need to be remembered, rather than being casually abandoned in the corner of memory.
"
Many people call their mother stupid and feel that they are not worth it, but who can understand the love of a mother? All mothers are always so unconditionally tolerant, dedicated, and achieve the same goal through different paths.
This kind of great love is the most beautiful!
If you’re not a parent, it’s hard to understand this feeling!
