Directed by Bao Bell. (Remade from the Korean film of the same name).
It's very beautiful, while watching it, I cry and laugh with them in the film.
According to the time given in the film in 1997, this year they were in middle school, then, that is, they are now in their 40s, a proper middle-aged person.
I don't know how others are, but I think the friendships in middle school are the most innocent, especially the friendships established in junior high school.
However, it must be the middle school era in the 1980s and 1990s. Because after entering the 21st century, with the change of policies, the pressure of further education is getting heavier and heavier every year, and under the stick of the middle school entrance examination, it is difficult to say whether there can be the time and friendship that was easy to play in the last century. Not to mention that today's students don't have as much time to build deep friendships, and in their spare time, the vast majority of them are exhausted with various training cram classes.
Therefore, "Sunshine Sister Tao" is a story for middle-aged people, and only peers can feel empathy in the old shadows of the dusky years.
The past times are the most unforgettable.
But I also have to say that since it is art, there will be techniques such as processing and refining exaggeration. For example, in the finale, Lin Qing, who was very successful in his career, distributed his property to the difficult households in his classmates and sisters before his death, and they did not mind at all who Lin Qing gave to whom he did not give, so many property distributions, people who were not assigned, there was no different reaction.
This is idealistic.
7 female students have their own stories, in addition to the protagonist Zhang Lijun, the experience of other female students is very concise, but almost all of them have an account, their experiences almost represent the experience of middle-aged women in their 40s today.
From middle school to middle age, most people will take the same path, high school graduation, college entrance examination, college graduation, work, marriage, and have children.
You are not admitted to college, you are going to 985, 211 school, or ordinary universities, junior colleges, after graduation whether you work decently, what people are married behind, poor or mediocre men, your men are not elite, have you received a share in China's rapid economic development in the past 30 years, how is the relationship between your husband and wife, fortunately unhappy, children are not contentious...
The 20 years of a woman's life, experience or not experience marriage, whether you are admitted to college, how to work, the impact on your future life can be greater, the more to the back, the difference and gap between each other may be greater.
In fact, although your friendship in middle school was particularly beautiful and united, if in these two or three decades, the development gap between you is very large, and the friendship is difficult to sustain. The so-called circles are different, it is difficult to have a common language, in addition to the common warmth in the memories, what topics can not be tired of talking?
Out of society, everyone has to become realistic, just look at the mentality of everyone at the classmate meeting.
Of course, it does not mean that friendship does not exist, but it is difficult to return to that state of pure love and carefree, after all, after twenty or thirty years of time and space, how can there be no estrangement at all, and the appearance has changed greatly.
Zhang Lijun, Lin Qing, Qiu Yuhong, Yang Mei, Zhu Zhu, Li Youran, Huang Xiaojuan.
The protagonist will say last, let's talk about the others first.
Lin Qing was very neutral in middle school, and she was also the child king among these girls, like their eldest sister, one side had difficulties, and she came to help. She had sworn that she would protect the 6 of them. After 20 years, she has a successful career and has saved a lot of wealth, but no amount of wealth can return her life.
Perhaps, her wealth is exactly what she worked day and night, and bought her life.
She was alone, strong in front of her, and became a different person because of the torment of illness, and her vulnerability and helplessness could not be hidden. In the last moments of their lives, their sisters reunited, and after reuniting, they did a big thing together - high morale, unity of will, for Zhang Lijun's daughter to stand out, and a group of campus who bullied Zhang Lijun's daughter fought, and both entered the police station, not ashamed, but proud.
Yang Mei, a small book fan in middle school, married after graduating from college, has two daughters, her husband is unreliable, she is a widowed marriage, the family outside the home depends on her, the husband plays games at home to make her and has a violent personality, looking at the husband and wife feelings are not good. From work to life, it is obvious that Yangmei has not been satisfactory in the past 20 years.
Qiu Yuhong may be the most bumpy bar, the marriage is not smooth, the child is born disabled, she sold everything for her daughter, endured the hardships of life, and seems to be quite degraded. But she has a tough side in her, that is, she does not give up her responsibility as a mother, loves her daughter, and always guards her.
The eldest sister at that time, Da Lin Qing, left her a house after her death, and set up a foundation for her to help children who need help with her daughter and her daughter, and after the three-year business investigation period was passed, Qiu Yuhong will become the manager of this fund and benefit more children.
Zhu Zhu, who was a funny person at that time, is still the same after he becomes an adult.
She has a funny personality, after she became an adult, she did micro-business, her thinking did not change, and she could only watch others dry houses and luxury cars. Her career is successful, love is not happy, I don't know if she is unmarried, or fate has not arrived, she is single and dashing in middle age, one person eats enough for the whole family is not hungry, but I don't see her sad for this.
Huang Xiaojuan, married to a rich woman, is keen on plastic surgery, thinking that she can rely on hue to attract her husband to be single-minded, but after people reach middle age, she also wants to open, no longer entangled in feelings, you cheat on it, money gives me in place, buy a house for my mother's family, and then buy me a luxury sports car, I will turn a blind eye to your business, and you maintain the surface prosperity of the husband and wife, we do not violate the river water.
Li Youran, the school flower-level figure in the middle school at that time, had been on the cover of a magazine and had an arrogant and indifferent appearance. In fact, her arrogance is only her protective color, and the real she is a girl who lacks love. Her father married her stepmother less than a year after her mother's death, making Li Youran hate her father and hate her stepmother, using a hedgehog-like personality to resist others from spying on the hole in her heart. But when others treat her sincerely, she quickly breaks her mind and pulls out her lungs with you.
In middle school, she and Hua Meinan fell in love early, but fruitlessly. Later, in order to help Zhang Lijun out, she was stabbed in the face by her sister-in-law classmates who also lacked love, and she said goodbye to the star dream. There is no adult Li Youran in the film, so we have no way of knowing whether she is living well after she is an adult. But the scar must have stimulated her soul greatly, and after the injury, she refused to see the sisters.
The female advocate Lijun had a crush on Hua Meinan when she was in middle school, and after a while of flower obsession, she found that Hua Meinan and Li Youran were together, and she was devastated. After graduating from college, Zhang Lijun got married, her husband was very good, they had a daughter, Zhang Lijun became a housewife, and her main career was to manage housework and serve her husband's daughter.
Middle-aged Zhang Lijun became a transparent person in the family many years later, and her husband had no passion, felt familiar and boring with each other, and her teenage daughter reached a rebellious period, choking on speech, and hated being disciplined by her mother.
Zhang Lijun, who was once cheerful and lively, has a much calmer personality after adulthood, no longer so carefree and one-sided, life has changed her, she lives, with her husband and children as the center, so that their satisfaction is the direction of her efforts.
Until she accidentally met Lin Qing when she was in the hospital, she was touched and thought about stopping and thinking about what she really wanted in this life.
There is a comparison, only to know the bitterness.
Compared with the other sisters, Zhang Lijun is the most beautiful among them.
Although there is no passion for her husband, the family is complete, the husband and wife are respectful and respectful, and they can get by each other on the face. There are houses and cars, although the husband is also middle-aged, but the charm of rich middle-aged men, the ability to make money is not bad.
At the end, Zhang Lijun went to pick up her husband and go home, this time, giving up the steering wheel and letting her husband drive by himself.
The husband was keenly aware of her difference and asked, "I have been on a business trip for two months, and nothing has happened at home, right?" ”
As long as she wants, the communication between the two couples is not a problem.
Because the husband Zhang Lijun is looking for is much higher in quality than the husbands of Yang Mei and Huang Xiaojuan.
The finale is not frustrating. Lin Qing is gone, but the rest of the people will get together as they did then, support each other, and support each other.
Lin Qing made arrangements for the sisters who had a more difficult life one by one and solved their worries.
At Lin Qing's funeral, Li Youran returned. They did not fall into too much sorrow, because Lin Qing never really left, she would live in their hearts.
Friendship lasts forever!
Very touching and can be seen.
