Before watching "Everything Like You", I knew that it was about the theme of old age, and the bones of the old Chinese drama were all exhausted, in addition to carrying a few more packs of paper towels, more than full of reverence. Just thinking that no matter what the movie is, it is a feeling to be able to gather these national treasure-level celebrities on a big screen and accept the tribute of the whole people. But after soaking 2 packs of tissues and watching the film, I got three unexpected.
The first one did not expect to see myself- the magazine-style sunset reading was actually written by several young directors.
Since halfway through life, seeing the parents who stand on top of the sky grow older, become more dependent on themselves, and even become unlovable, and the friction with themselves is even more hurtful than when they were adolescents, every time here, they will reflect on the course they have traveled and think that their lives must not be like them.
I always thought that only at this age, with the experience of skin, will I think about precipitation. But the 10 stories shown in the magazine-style chapters of the film, each of which is like a mirror, illuminating thousands of households, 10 stories, more or less can see their own courtyard, bedroom, living room, such a deep narrative, actually from the hands of young people, and not from the perspective of young people to face the process of life withering, not compassion and perfunctory to watch life wither, in order to earn tears, bluntly stirring the audience's tear glands.
The young director, between the virtual and real narratives, calmly tells the ordinary stories that happen in ordinary people's homes from a level-level perspective, or as deep and quiet as "Hanging Memories"; or laughs and scolds like the pair of living treasures that cut off their double eyelids, making people envious of the sunset red that wants to copy; more like the two mouths in "Old Companion", they walk away to know what is a companion...
The story is very old-fashioned, and empathy is seen everywhere. Especially in "Old Partner", every time the black screen is converted, the story is more tense, and the character personality is more full, just like the blank space of Chinese painting, without too much brush and ink, the virtual place is the most seen in the years, the most seen in the director's fire. Every story in the film is not delayed, the camera is clean and deep, making people laugh in tears, making people sigh that all this is from the hands of young people! In the process of practicing kung fu, the directors have reached the realm of seeing themselves.
The second did not expect to see the world - telling the story of old age can be so blindly warm and not boring.
When it comes to the elderly, the Internet is more of a car accident scene, each with its own incredible. Especially after the unaffordable thing happened, the old man slid down to the chain of social contempt at a rapid pace. The bad guys get older and almost become the backdrop for many social phenomena. But in the film, the twenty old people have their own old methods, each has his own leisure time, no negativity, no noise, and no public topic sense that tries to win the audience's greatest common denominator with gray.
Originally worried that such a consistent main theme of the narration will make the characters flat, but the film restores life itself to the greatest extent, so that each character's personality stands up, not a dragonfly, deep and good-looking. Only by seeing the heavens and the earth and knowing what is the essence of life can we restore life - higher than life.
The third did not expect to see sentient beings - after reading it in tears, I wanted to know how their future life would be.
I really can't spoil too much, I have to go to the theater to know, after the performance, standing on the steps wiping tears, and always wondering: What about after that? How did they live later?
"Everything like you" is like this, always want to open the screen to see the role of Teacher Qin Yi later know that his wife is gone? If the role of Teacher Yu Lan is gone, what will Teacher Page cry with a snack basket? The role of Teacher Lei Kesheng is gone, what about Huan Huan...
After reading the literary works that are said to be good, I always want to know what kind of person the author is; after watching the film, I always want to know what kind of disease this should be after the characters. It is probably the Fa Xi after the storyteller sees all sentient beings.
Don't say anything, go to the theater to find the shadow of your old man. Oh, and don't forget to bring a few more packs of tissues... (As of press time, the scheduling rate of this heart-warming public welfare film accounts for only 0.1% of the total number of films in the country, which is a pity, and I hope that you will be touched by the number of scenes that have been scheduled.) ）
