Recently, I watched the movie "Donkey Got Water" on the recommendation of a friend, saying that it was to help me see reality better. After watching it, I was really touched and took the time to search for information, to understand all the stories related to it, and then I knew how powerful the shock of this movie was.
The most people talk about this film is the irony of the film, but I want to talk about my own simple and real viewing experience from a different perspective. About the persistence of dreams, the yearning for love.
Because the film is positioned as a black humor comedy, I thought I would be full of joy after watching the film, but I found that I was already in tears. "Donkey Get Water" mainly tells the story of a remote school in the Republic of China period, teachers falsely reported a donkey as a teacher to take a salary. Although the school's treatment was dismal, the four teachers enjoyed it, and it was not until the Ministry of Education commissioner came to check on it that the story suddenly took a turn for the worse, step by step towards an outcome that no one could have predicted.
Sanmao once said: "A person has at least one dream and a reason to be strong." If the mind has no place to dwell, it is wandering everywhere. ”
Four teachers
The four teachers in the film share a common ideal and open a school in a remote village in order to change the status quo of "poverty, stupidity, weakness and selfishness" of Chinese farmers. But at present, there are always people who cannot bear the greed in their hearts, change their original intentions, and go down the path of evil. When the commissioner visits the school, for the sake of the school, the heroine Ichiman decides to "sleepwear" the coppersmith. The next plot is very charming, the coppersmith is disheveled, uneducated, but favored by Yiman, and for the first time feels the beauty of poetry. As he turned to leave, the coppersmith sang a moving love song for Ichiman. After that, the coppersmith was given the idea of teaching without a class by the principal, and soon grew.
When the commissioner suddenly visits, the coppersmith's wife comes to make trouble and argues with Yi man, and the coppersmith angrily rebukes his wife like a hero, which seems to be the transformation of the coppersmith, because Yiman changed the coppersmith. And when the matter seems to be over, Yi Man has to scold the coppersmith as a cattle against his will in order to get rid of the entanglement as soon as possible. The dream kingdom in the coppersmith's heart collapsed in an instant, he threw away the roll of hair that Yi man had given him, and instantly became abominable, losing the guidance of Yi Man, and what the coppersmith had learned before made him accelerate his change in the direction of evil. He trampled on One Man again and again, taking cruel revenge, and finally Man went mad. The coppersmith completely destroyed a man, and it can be said that everyone destroyed a man. In fact, it is easy to destroy the ideal of human beings, because greed and evil are hidden in human nature, and weakness is hidden in the depths of human nature.
A man scolded the coppersmith
Dreams are the pursuit of a lifetime, no matter how vague, always lurk in the bottom of our hearts, so that our state of mind can never be peaceful, until these dreams become a fact. Of course, people's dreams always change with the surrounding environment and time changes. Everyone looks forward to the future, everyone chases their dreams, maybe our dreams will change, but if we forget the heart to pursue our dreams, it is like the men and women in the play, who have a passion for blood but ultimately get nothing.
As for love, Yi Man in "Donkey Got Water" longs for love in her heart, and the songs she sings are full of expectations for love, and she is always looking for a man worthy of love. The crazy Yi man went to a friend's wedding with the flowers she felt were the most beautiful, and in the chaos, the flowers were trampled by the villagers, and she desperately protected them, as if it were the bouquet of her own wedding. For Yi Man, love is the most important, and what she is loyal to is her soul.
A man after madness
Shen Congwen recounted his love in the Xiangxing Sanji: "I have traveled across bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person of the right and best age. "Love is a gift from Heaven, and such a spiritually pure Man may have been waiting for that person all his life, waiting for her love.
For us ordinary people, perhaps love is a moth to put out fire and sacrifice ourselves, just like Zixia and supreme treasure in the journey to the west, Zixia is willing to dedicate selflessly to the supreme treasure, just to adhere to her love ideals. Maybe love is life and death, not abandoned, like Jack and Ruth in the Titanic, women and children can go first, Ruth gave up the opportunity to escape for love, and Jack gave up the opportunity of life for Ruth. Maybe love is to pay silently, to love deeply, just like the female Fujii tree in the love letter to the Fujii tree, Hiroko to the autumn leaves, one side quietly and silently pay, only for the pure love in the heart.
Ideals and love are like colored balls in Jiajia's hands, warm and simple, simple and beautiful. Open the box and face the real world, the ideals and dreams of the past have been shattered, but the colored ball is still alive. In fact, without deliberate, depending on the heart, we can all get our own precious color balls.
