Premiere scene
Talking about so many titles, just want to say one thing.
The film tells the story of Wang Erhao, a rural woman, who married three men in succession, and after the death of three men in succession, took the brother of her third husband, Shi, and drove between the villages.
The widow Wang Erhao became the "Lone Star of Heavenly Fire" in the villagers' mouths, and everyone was afraid that they would not be able to dodge it, and because they accidentally cured the paralyzed old man, they were labeled as "immortals", which caused the foolish villagers to burn incense and worship.
The widow Wang Erhao and her brother-in-law Shi, poor people who carry the shackles of fate.
A woman with a bitter fate, dressed in shamanic fairy clothes.
A mute, sign language flying and blowing mourning.
King two good and stone
Wang Erhao, who has nowhere to live, just wants to find a house to burn hot kangtou, it is best to sleep until the end of the world, the stone sign language contrast asked her, "Let's drive to the south, all the way to the south." ”
The winter in the north is so long that the sun and the moon are lightless, the wind is cold, the snow is bitter, you ask the heavens, is it only me who is so unfortunate?
It shows you, the paralyzed old man in front of the bed without filial piety to open his eyes and wait for death, the wife who gave birth to 6 daughters was punched and kicked by her husband, and the young girl was raped and pregnant and finally jumped into the well to commit suicide...
Kind as Wang Erhao, still feel that the world is too worthwhile.
"Changing" the sex of the fetus so that pregnant women give birth to sons; appealing grievances for girls who have been sexually assaulted; "guiding the way" bankrupt old classmates accidentally discovering "gold mines"...
Late at night, the widow spoke of her second man, and she did not show the stone with her hand, but more like she spoke to herself.
"He's jumped into the well, a hundred, what about me?" Nothing. In fact, I don't really blame him, I just feel bad. ”
After doing the ritual, Wang Erhao stood in the white expanse of snow, and the girl who had jumped from the well appeared in front of her and said thank you.
"I met a man in the well, who had been there for many years, who had gone up the mountain to pick wild pears for his daughter-in-law and fell down without hesitation, saying that his daughter-in-law was still waiting for him at home, but he couldn't go back."
The wind and snow are silent, the cold winter is cold, she raises the shaman's dress, and the heavens and the earth dance, and the shape is single.
In this scene in the movie, the life forced the viewer to burst into tears, the poor girl can put down her grievances and reincarnate, and the regrets of this bitter woman will finally be resolved.
The wronged undead are comforted, the deceased bring concerns, the people who cherish you, but unfortunately they are gone.
Movies, and no happy ending.
The accidental death of the stone was the last straw that crushed the camel.
Wang Erhao, who had been splashed with hundreds of pee- urine, fell to the ground crying and crawled up like a person who had nothing to do, and the last sentence of the stone was "I will throw away these explosive apples."
Wang Erhao turned around and let out a "boom."
She was a widow and a woman, and she tried to hold back a mirror five times, shattering and shattering, and finally she gave up on herself.
In my opinion, "A Vast North" is like a Van Gogh painting, without figurativeness, all in the charm, filled with delicate emotions under the rough framework, sensitively capturing human feelings and sophistication, and sharply using images to spread wilderness.
I like a sentence by director Cai Chengjie, who said, "It is precisely because of the movie that the original ordinary life can be endured, and in this spiritual world, you will feel that there are beautiful things." ”
Out of the movie theater, a heavy rain that Caught off guard stirred the neon and headlights on the street, and the cool water vapor quenched the body temperature, and I really hoped that Wang Erhao and the stone could come to the south for a walk.
