Looking back at the movie "The Two of Us", I still have a feeling of wanting to cry, the relationship between the old lady and the pony is really warm and touching, and this movie has also won a lot of honors, such as the "18th Tokyo International Film Festival" and the "25th Golden Rooster Awards for Chinese Cinema", why is this movie so touching?
I once saw a sentence from Shen Congwen: In this world, so people with true temperament, their ideas are always different. And the story of the pony and the old lady getting along is that there is a distance of ages, a gap in thought, and a difference in ideas...
In this film, the film tells the story of the old lady and the girl Pony is in a rental relationship, from mutual unaccustomed to often quarreling, as if two people have a hundred unpleasant eyes, but unconsciously, the two people accompany each other to establish a deep feeling, to the end of the mutual reluctance. The two main roles are as follows:
Old Lady (Jin Yaqin): Owns a courtyard to live alone, and has a house to rent.
Girl Pony (Gong Zhe): A girl who is studying in Beijing and wants to rent out a cheap house.
Clip 1: The first time we met to rent a bargain
The old lady has a courtyard very close to the school, the young girl pony, looking for several houses, and finally found the old lady here, the old lady and another old man to discuss the house price, the girl is young and not much money, so it can not be too high nor too low, the two people bargaining look really interesting, ginger or old spicy, the old lady has already figured out the girl's mind, the rent is determined to be 200 yuan.
Clip 2: Borrowing a refrigerator and borrowing an electric stove does not give in to each other
Pony: You are also too selfish, what can not be discussed, talk to you clearly, you have pinched the telephone line, gas is not allowed, water and electricity also let me pay money, you are too bullying.
Old Lady: Who bullied you and shouted in front of me?
From this passage, it can be seen that the two people have many contradictions in the process of getting along!
Example 1: Pony asks the old lady to borrow a refrigerator
The old lady said: Then you have to give me a little electricity money, or you can buy me a big carp, I love to eat carp.
Although the pony was reluctant in his mouth, he was forced to compromise and had to buy carp for the old lady.
Example 2: Winter is too cold, the pony asks the old lady to borrow an electric stove, and the old lady lets the pony watch and do it by herself.
The pony was very angry, and for a breath, he bought an electric stove for himself the next day.
Clip 3: The problem of paying a phone bill
Pony learned that the old lady has a telephone, so occasionally borrow the phone, but the old lady saw that the phone bill was expensive, so she wanted the pony to pay the electricity bill, the telephone line did a diversion, originally discussed the old lady to pay 30 yuan, the others are ponies to pay, because the old lady calls less, the pony fights more, the old lady fights more frequently, so because of this also often quarrel.
Once the old lady cut off the pony's telephone bill, only because the pony call was too noisy to affect her sleep, fortunately, when the grandson came to see the old lady, because he learned the computer and did technical processing, the old lady's change to mute will not affect sleep. But the good times were not long, because the pony went to pay the phone bill, and several long-distance calls cost her more than 200, so the pony looked for the old lady to theorize, and the two people were tit-for-tat.
Pony: I'm not a millionaire, why should I carry the black pot.
Old lady: Don't wrongfully accuse me. That's right, they are all at this age, can they not be on money, what is the use of recognizing people, and managing food to eat?
The two people were tit-for-tat, both felt that they had been wronged, they both felt that it was each other's fault, the pony was angry and ran away from home, the old lady was also angry, tore the sticks on the wall and the red double joy, and used crutches to beat down the lanterns in the courtyard, and the relationship between the two people was inseparable. The lanterns on the ground were stained with dirt, as if the relationship between the two people was also estranged.
Later, finally found out the truth, it turned out that the grandson hit, the grandson put 200 yuan in the pony's house, he left guiltily, the old lady knew that she had wronged the pony, so she felt very sorry for her, has been waiting for the pony at the door, come back, as if waiting for her relatives.
The neighbor advised the old lady: Stinky temper, what is unpleasant in the New Year's Day, can live for a few years.
This sentence, said how many old people's heartache, people are old, thoughts are not much, the old man actually understands, but the psychological stubbornness is not willing to admit, and finally the old man is Chinese New Year's Eve, waiting for the pony to return, the pony was very angry at first, but the kind pony still chose to forgive, the two people happily ate Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and the familiar big carp.
Clip 4: Pony interviews the old lady
The pony school assigned a special homework, recorded the day with the old lady, gave her a massage, accompanied her in the sun, washed her hair, made her food, and also knew from the neighbor's grandmother about the old woman's past experience: riding a horse, serving as a soldier, saving the wounded, being an official, unfortunately the husband died in the second year of marriage, there was no child in his life, and his only daughter was also an adopted daughter, so his personality was somewhat withdrawn.
From this, the pony can understand the old lady's inner world even more, and it turns out that the old man is a kind person. The two people from playing and making trouble, to the current mutual understanding and mutual companionship, the more you look at it, the warmer it is, especially this scene to help the old lady wash her hair, jokingly said: you can't charge you 60 when you go to the barbershop. The joking chat method makes the relationship between the two people more harmonious.
Clip 5: Pony helps the old lady decorate the house
Why is it that the pony and the old lady have a better and better relationship after spending a long time together? Whether it is an annul, paying the telephone bill, lighting the electric stove, borrowing a refrigerator, Xiao Ma feels that the old lady originally seems to be unreasonable and calculating everywhere, so she is very aggrieved, and the old lady looks at her, which is also a hundred unpleasant.
In fact, decorating the house pony was originally well-intentioned, but the old man did not appreciate it. Because the old man's house layout looks too deserted, so according to his own ideas: the first time is to clean up the house, the feeling of useless removal, the result of the house is empty, the old man is not used to living, many things can not be found, living is very unaccustomed; the second time, the pony to the old man's wall put a lot of posters, the old man complained about looking at the poster can not sleep.
But because two people accompany each other and warm each other, the generation gap is getting less and less, and the psychological distance is getting closer and closer. Since the pony came, this courtyard feels angry, the pony will decorate its own house, will also help the old man decorate the house, the New Year will also paste the Spring League, buy red double happy words, hang festive lanterns in the courtyard, and will also accompany the old man to eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and she eats her favorite carp.
In the end, people always have to be separated, and girls have grown, grown up, and gained love, so they have a better place to live and move away from the courtyard. And the old lady also fell ill later, with elements of missing ponies and factors of physical old age. The old lady's daughter took the old lady to the countryside for care, and the ponies also came to visit, and finally this handshake was really tearful.
When the pony received the phone call to learn the news of the old lady's death, the empty mood must be very sad, it felt like losing a person who grew up with her and gave her joy, and perhaps there was no one to quarrel with her anymore. The adult world is not the same as the world of the elderly, and it is not easy to achieve empathy, but after watching this movie, to be honest, I was really touched.
The story of the pony and the old lady is based on a true event, and I think such warm and bland feelings are the most moving! With the passage of time, the two gradually became each other's dependence, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cycle began, the old lady diluted the loneliness of the years because of the arrival of the girl, but also because the girl had more joys and sorrows, the loneliness of the old age faded away, and the heart was also full.
In a person's life, you will meet many people, there will always be a person who will be a noble person in your life, perhaps give you warmth, may give you troubles, may accompany you to grow, I hope we can all live happily. The story of the pony and the old lady is over, from quarrelsome to mutually exclusive, but our lives go on, and cherishing the opportunity for two people to quarrel may also be a kind of happiness.
