Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" can't be understood? If you don't understand it, that's right.
The whole movie highlights a "crazy" word, people are crazy, the times are crazy, followed by the audience is also "crazy", and the audience's "madness" is confused and confused.
"The Sun Also Rises" consists of four parts, Madness, Love, Gun, and Dream.
The first part should have been a dream, but Jiang Wen put it at the end, and it was Jiang Wen's intention to mention the madness in the second place to the first place.
To tell the audience bluntly, this is a story about "madness", which is equivalent to setting the tone for the film.
The love, gun, and dream in the back are complementary to "madness".
Love is the madness of the times, guns are the end of man and the madness of the times, dreams are the beginning of man's madness.
In 1958, Li Bukong (played by Jiang Wen) is Alyosha, also Old Tang.
After coming down from the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I learned their romance in getting along with the big brother of the Soviet Union at home.
With the craftsmanship of being able to make small shoes into big shoes, the talent of blowing trumpets, as well as the martial arts of shooting guns, and the literary art of writing letters, he has enlarged the belly of crazy mother (played by Zhou Yun).
At the same time, Li Bukong met the young Lady Tang.
A few meaty words plus the marriage proposal method of learning soviet Wenqing took her down, and on the side of the crazy mother, Li Bukong gave her a lie that he had died.
At the same time that Li Bukong and Tang held a Su-style wedding, the crazy mother gave birth to Li Dongfang on the train tracks.
After Li Bukong had it, the crazy mother gave Li Bukong good news in the direction of the sun, Alyosha, don't be afraid, our children are fine, the train stopped on it.
Don't be afraid, Alyosha, I will live well and raise the child as an adult, and when you come back, he will smile and the sky will light up, and the sun will rise as usual.
In 1976, a decade of unrest was nearing its end.
Li Bukong became an old Tang, separated from his wife, and it was difficult to meet, so he had an extramarital affair at school, and the object was Dr. Lin (played by Chen Chong).
Just one night after the movie was played, five girls watching the movie were played as hooligans, and Teacher Liang, who was also watching the movie, was treated as a hooligan.
Forty-two flashlights chased after him, and a teacher Liang ran in front of him, through Old Tang's room, and bumped into Dr. Lin, who was also afraid of being caught on the windowsill, and Dr. Lin deceived Teacher Liang and caused him to be wronged.
In order to prevent their secret affair from being magnified, Old Tang and Dr. Lin designed to plant a bribe for Teacher Liang and put the hooliganism on the ground, but Teacher Liang saw through their ruse, and the school also returned his innocence.
But Teacher Liang is a person of integrity, and he must not look at anything that is against morality.
On the grounds of please eat and thank you, Old Tang and Dr. Lin were hooked, and Old Tang killed him.
After that, Old Tang was sent to the countryside where Li Dongfang was located to undergo labor reform, and the crazy mother learned that she was crazy, and later she got better and disappeared.
Old Tang took Mrs. Tang to the village in a tractor driven by Li Dongfang.
Old Tang spent all day hunting in the forest with a group of children, and Mrs. Tang, who was alone in the empty house, was born and became acquainted twice, and brought a green hat to Old Tang in the stone house built by Li Dongfang's crazy mother.
Old Tang had planned to stop the matter.
But Li Dongfang's sentence "Your wife's belly is not like velvet at all" angered Old Tang, and he shot his son and killed that absurd era.
However, Old Tang did not know that Li Dongfang was his own son, and Li Dongfang did not know that Old Tang was his father.
In this story, Old Don is a fake madman, and the crazy mother is really crazy.
Li Dongfang and Lady Tang are unknowingly crazy, and Teacher Liang and Dr. Lin are forced to become crazy.
Old Don has a handiwork that can turn small shoes into big shoes.
In the era when little bourgeois style was full of style, in that era of shortage of materials and lack of cultural life, Old Don was the eternal god.
Since it is a god, the flowers have passed in the bushes, and the leaves are not spared, nature is not a problem, so Old Tang is in the three women's WuShan, Yun Dream idle.
But the heart is a god, and the old Tang who is not a god is a mortal after all.
He met the second woman and did not want the first woman, so he began to pretend to be crazy, to fake death to get rid of the crazy mother, and to throw away Li Bukong to welcome Lady Tang's embrace.
People often say, "Forget you, wait until I forget myself", and Old Tang first forgot himself, and then forgot you, this kind of reversal, if you don't pretend to be crazy enough to even believe in yourself, I'm afraid it's really crazy.
Old Tang, who pretended to be crazy, came to the age of real madness, but he suddenly woke up again.
After hearing Madame Tang say to Li Dongfang, "Your Uncle Tang said that my stomach is like velvet," Old Tang went to Beijing to look for velvet and wanted Li Dongfang to die to understand.
When he arrived in Beijing, after Cui Jian's enlightenment, old Tang Shicai woke up, and it turned out that women betrayed themselves mostly because of themselves, just like when they abandoned their crazy mother.
But this sobriety did not last long, and Old Tang went crazy again.
At that time, Li Bukong began his own sins with "your belly is like velvet", and now his son exposes Li Bukong's little Bourgeois lie with "your wife's belly is not like velvet at all".
Li Bukong fired two shots into the sky to start the act of pretending to be crazy, and Old Tang shot several shots at the sky to wake himself up, and then fired another shot at Li Dongfang, which was really crazy.
Crazy Mom doesn't have the same mental journey as Old Don, because she is really crazy.
When she was young, she guarded his hope of not dying, took his children, to his hometown, his hometown was green and green, and her dreams were full of enthusiasm, but none of the red belonged to the crazy mother.
The mad mother was not crazy, but her heart was crazy, because she was too familiar with his little bourgeoisie, so she could not forget, but she forgot what he looked like, so she had to run before old Don was put here.
This situation made the mad mother's heart die, but she did not want her son to experience her tragedy.
So she began to touch the stones on the tree and the river, changing into a different look, making Li Dongfang hate her crazy and forget the familiar her.
Li Dongfang did as she wished, but Li bufanously obliterated all the efforts of the crazy mother, and their madness together pieced together the madness of the times.
As for Teacher Liang, a normal person is among a group of crazy people, then his normality is abnormal.
After Teacher Liang was hanged, he had a smile on his face, he was laughing at the madness of endless criticism in this era, and even more laughing at the madness of people who could not stop their desires.
His hands were in his pockets to be the pride of the literati against that era, and the smile he hung was finally relieved.
Teacher Liang's madness, Old Tang's madness, crazy mother's madness.
Jiang Wen uses smooth rotating shots, beautiful pictures, and magical jumping plot development to represent, and in "The Sun Also Rises", everyone is crazy, even people who are not crazy have become crazy.
This kind of movie that is normal on the surface and crazy on the inside, it is too normal for the audience to understand it.
Because not understanding is the biggest meaning of "The Sun Also Rises", after all, as a normal person, who can understand the heart of a madman, naturally can not talk about empathy.
