Author (Kang Zezhi)

The giant wheel of reform, riding the wind and waves, has been driving brilliantly for more than 40 years, but there are still film artists like Director Wang Xiaoshuai, who do not indulge in the beautiful present, but rush to the past, to look back at the past that has long been forgotten, perhaps in his eyes digging into history is a kind of planning to think of danger in times of peace, and it is a kind of insight that can only be found after undergoing great changes. "The Earth is Long and Long" is Wang Xiaoshuai's examination and record of national memory, returning to the difficult years of the blue wisps of yanlu, which is a reincarnation that we cannot escape, and we cannot go back to the past.

In the way of small and big, it is the director's usual method, and the sense of civilianization is deeply engraved in the film. With the sadness and joy of the two families to reflect the changes of an era, the little people are not buried in the torrent of the times, but in a different form engraved with the inscriptions of the national history, the orphaned family represented by Yao Jun Liyun and his wife has the kind of small people's resistance and indomitability to fate, after the death of the stars, Yao Jun Liyun still supports each other to live. There is also cowardice and escape, escape from sorrow, escape from the sorrow of the past. There is also the temperature of the world, the warm humanistic care, the friendship that has always been maintained, and it has always been long. The faint civilian sentiment and small ease are the hearts of the small people represented by Yaojun Liyun and his wife, and Wang Dao's insight into the low-level characters is his civilian consciousness's considerate care for the people.

Ordinary life, ordinary life, is Wang Dao's attitude to life, is his vision of life philosophy. Throughout the film, the plot is bland, the film and television rhythm is very slow, until the stars die before the film and television have no obvious variations, and the plot is about the events that people are familiar with, the tide of workers laying off workers, family planning, going to the sea to do business, reform and opening up, most of the audience are experiencers, but it is this kind of personal experience, is plain, often this kind of bland is a resonance, to cause memories of that era, slow variations, no obvious ups and downs, just like most people's lives, bland is the pursuit of the bottom characters For the glorious past, there are too many sighs, but returning to the plain to pick the ordinary is a kind of resonance, for the small people do not need anything vigorous, ordinary is the most appropriate.

The humanistic feelings of the lower-class characters who cherish each other are the theme of the emotional identity that the director wants to express. In the play, Lijun Yaoyun does not abandon each other together, and comforts each other and lives for each other. And later for Haiyan and Haohao's understanding, Haiyan's wisdom and guilt towards them. There is an inexplicable warmth. Maybe this is the temperature that is unique to the world. On the other hand, the film criticism itself's selection of themes and character selection are all low-level and bland. These settings can make the care of this lower group more recognizable.

In general, "The Land is Long and Long" is a summary of the development of the nation, cut from the perspective of popularization, to have a daily to express the development of the times and the small feelings of the people. For this period of history, directors like Wang Dao always have a kind of fascination, that is, the fascination of national memory, this fascination is different from Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" criticism of human nature and national character, and it is also different from Chen Kaige's "Farewell to the Overlord" on the examination of culture, "The Long Day" is the kind of cold and warm heartache that favors small people, and the expression of the ordinary people's hearts is the revelation of the psychology of the common people.
