"Everyone has at least one dream, a reason to make themselves strong, but one day when they find themselves, when they are not wrapped in food, their dreams are often not worth a bowl of egg fried rice, which is not ignorance and superficiality, but to survive." Dreams are beautiful, reality is very bone, just like I will explain to you the movie "Donkey Got Water" next, beautiful and desolate. ”
Donkey gets water = Lu de water
The story takes place in the 31st year of the Republic of China (1942), when several college students with dreams came from the city to a poor mountain village in the northwest and founded a small school called "Sanmin".
At first, their philosophy of running the school was "unity, optimism, and struggle", and they did not want to be blinded by interests and conscience to cause the irreparable tragedy of "division, pessimism, and laziness".
Then again, due to the dismal salary and hardship of life, in order to subsidize the expenses of the school and the teachers, they had to falsely report the donkey who was responsible for pulling water for the school to "get water from the donkey" as a "Lu Deshui" teacher to receive an extra salary from the Ministry of Education.
"Donkey got water" = "Lu de water"
Yesterday, I suddenly received a telegram saying that the commissioner of the Ministry of Education would come to the next day to conduct a surprise inspection and asked the five teachers of the school to be present.
When he was at a loss, Principal Sun found the coppersmith who came to the school to repair the bells in the class, and asked him to pretend to be Teacher Lu Deshui.
"Pei Kuishan" and the bohemian "Zhang Yiman" have been ashamed once before, and they do not forget to be ashamed in the face of the enemy, can shame help relieve stress?
When the two just wanted to leave, Zhang Yiman was called away by Principal Sun and gave the "coppersmith" a haircut.
Even if Zhang Yiman was a little reluctant, it can be seen that the "coppersmith" has a feeling of losing the east corner and reaping the mulberry, and the coppersmith's figure is good.
In Zhang Yiman's original words: "It may be really hard all over the body", and then began to flirt with the simple rural boys, the principal let her teach the coppersmith English, Zhang Yiman was going to pick up the boys' clothes at every turn, simply let the coppersmith come to a princess hug, and finally the principal really couldn't see it and pulled her away.
The commissioner arrived as promised, you don't say that this gentlemanly head shape really has a bit of the meaning of the chairman of the committee, you have to listen to the "Lu Deshui" teacher to give English class, the principal had to take Teacher Lu's voice dumb, as an excuse to prevaricate.
"Pei Kuishan" began to confess to "Zhang Yiman", saying that he would marry her in everything, but she directly refused, and said that he would not provoke him again in the future.
Principal Sun's daughter,"Sun Jiajia," told "Zhou Tienan" that the donkey had to eat the sound pill and actually barked, which happened to be heard by the Shunfeng Ear Commissioner.
There is no way to harden the scalp, let The teacher Ofe Water show that Zhang Yiman taught a few words of English in advance, but the commissioner felt that it was not too addictive, and he wanted to listen to some more complex English sentences, and this next week the iron man was anxious to confess to the commissioner that the "Lu Deshui" teacher was actually a donkey, but Zhang Yiman stopped it.
Zhang Yiman said to the commissioner: "Lu Deshui" The teacher spoke complex English, generally with teaching aids, turned around and went out with Lu Deshui to get props... Before leaving, Zhang Yiman tentatively asked the commissioner a sentence of "good bye"!
The commissioner subconsciously replied: "good morning".
It turned out that the commissioner did not understand English, then the matter was solved, the coppersmith directly used Xinjiang dialect to impersonate English, Zhang Yiman also translated it into a Chinese version of "Reading Shakespeare's Poetry Collection", the two people's donkey lips were not on the horse's mouth, but the commissioner listened to the tears and intoxicated.
At the dinner table, the commissioner happily announced: an important decision of the Ministry of Education, looking for educators who are willing to take root in the countryside without any stains, only "Lu Deshui" is the most suitable, and this month to fund Teacher Lu 30,000 French yuan.
However, the commissioner wanted a photo of Teacher Lu Deshui, and the principal asked the coppersmith to pack it for one more day, but the coppersmiths who were always afraid that "they would die if they took pictures" refused one by one.
At the critical moment, Zhang Yiman had to be sent to appear in the nightgown, and the coppersmith also took the only photo of his life in the image of a teacher, and finally the commissioner completed the task and went back to the Ministry of Education.
The school bell was repaired, and the coppersmith came to say goodbye to Zhang Yiman on the occasion of leaving, but Zhang Yiman looked indifferent, but for the simple and ignorant coppersmith, he was still immersed in a good result for himself and Zhang Yiman...
Zhang Yiman cut a lock of hair for the coppersmith to commemorate, and what Zhang Yiman did not expect was that this would make the foolish coppersmith's fascination with her deeper and deeper, and would become the fuse for the coppersmith's crazy revenge on her later.
Pei Kuishan, who was rejected by Zhang Yiman, seemed to be like a changed person, wearing martens in the summer to hide his lack of confidence in love and hide his embarrassment when facing Zhang Yiman.
In the face of "Zhou Tienan"'s offer to add classrooms to the school, he was willing to donate two months' salary, and when asked about Pei Kuishan, he angrily said: ""
He changed, he was no longer the Pei Kuishan who had a city government, but a person whose eyes were full of personal interests.
Two months later, he received a telegram saying: "The commissioner wants to visit Mr. Lu with the American investor "Mr. Ross." Principal Sun wanted to invite the coppersmith back again, and as soon as the words fell, the coppersmith himself came, along with his uneducated daughter-in-law.
I saw the coppersmith's daughter-in-law, five big and three thick lattice, a face that had experienced the vicissitudes of history, and a rough voice, and as soon as I entered the house, I calmed the intellectuals on the scene.
The purpose of her trip to the school was to observe the coppersmith returning home from school, and with her a series of hey hey changes, she felt that he had always been honest and responsible, there were not so many flowers and intestines, there must be a fox to teach.
Principal Sun faced the brasman's daughter-in-law who did not give up until she reached the goal, and the commissioner and American philanthropist who came to visit the school in the afternoon also became helpless, and had no choice but to ask Zhang Yiman and sacrifice herself for the sake of the overall situation.
Zhang Yiman finally admitted like the coppersmith's daughter-in-law, the mother night fork listened to it and wanted to beat Zhang Yiman, but unexpectedly, the coppersmith, who had always obeyed his daughter-in-law, became the hero who protected Zhang Yiman, and it was a stinky scolding to his daughter-in-law, and the mother night fork was also shocked by the coppersmith's appearance for a while, making herself slightly embarrassed.
As the saying goes: heroes are always alone! Zhang Yiman did not appreciate the coppersmith's excuse for himself, and directly said to the coppersmith:
The coppersmith was silent after hearing this, slowly threw a handful of hair in his pocket on the ground, and turned away.
After hearing this, the coppersmith's daughter-in-law said directly to the intellectuals in front of her: "." In fact, a series of events later occurred that proved that the Mother Night Fork was a prophet.
The commissioner went to a private meeting to hold a small meeting for everyone, asking everyone to speak in front of Lao Mei and said: "The money that the school got is 100,000 yuan, so why does the Ministry of Education give the school only 30,000 yuan?" The reason is that the difference of 70,000 is to help everyone pay various taxes and fees, but in fact, the Ministry of Education or the commissioner himself has filled his own pockets.
All the members of the school were forced to compromise one by one because of the identity of the commissioner, and when the commissioner learned that the teacher "Lu Deshui" was missing and called on everyone to find it, the coppersmith appeared... No, Teacher Lu Deshui appeared.
Knowing that the money of the American philanthropist Ross was donated to his (donkey water) personal coppersmith, he could not want a penny, and only asked the commissioner to dismiss "Zhang Yiman", on the grounds that Zhang Yiman had called him "cattle" And it can be seen that the coppersmith's communiqué personal vendetta has come...
Zhang Yiman, who has always disliked the discipline of others and advocated openness and freedom, had a hard time coming to this remote mountainous area that no one cared about, did not want to leave this easily, and under the coordination of the commissioner, let each teacher scold Zhang Yiman to make him hate.
Other teachers can't go down to scold, the key moment is still to Zhang Yiman, the resentful "Pei Kuishan" volunteered to stand up, "what don't face BZ, JH public toilet bus a scolding, if it is not Principal Sun pulled, I really don't know how many incomprehensible words will be scolded out of this mouth full of knowledge and culture, scolding people without thinking about the draft, Xiaobian feels ashamed after reading it!"
"Zhou Tienan", who has always been impatient and angry and really moralistic, scolded everyone in a roundabout way, alluding to the fact that the coppersmith (Lu Deshui) is not a man is an animal, and the commissioner asked Zhou Tienan to slap Zhang Yiman, but Zhou Tienan did a fake beating, and the "Pei Kuishan" next to him felt that the scolding just now was still not angry, and directly said to "Zhou Tienan" that he did not let you fake beating, let you really fight.
Nakedly expressing the "little heart" side to the fullest! For an alumnus who rejected his colleagues, he liked to fall into the well so much! It can be seen that the previous city government phases were all disguised.
Perhaps, in order not to see the two former friends, for their own vendetta; perhaps, in order to satisfy the coppersmith as soon as possible, not to embarrass everyone, he fanned his mouth, walked to the coppersmith and asked: ""
As a result, the coppersmith (Lu Deshui) was still not satisfied, and made more excessive demands, letting Zhang Yiman cut his hair! At this time, this is like I said before, the moment Zhang Yiman gave the coppersmith hair, it was destined to lay the foundation for himself.
Here to give you a popular science:
In that era, whoever gave his hair to the opposite sex meant that he had promised his future to the other party, so it seems that the coppersmith (Lu Deshui) let him cut his hair in order to punish Zhang Yiman's casualness.
Principal Sun helped Zhang Yiman cut off his long hair, and the coppersmith (donkey got water) was satisfied, but zhang Yiman, who loved beauty, was insane, and a person hid under the table and cried to death... In my opinion, Zhang Yiman is a victim of President Sun's lies, why do you say so? Let's leave a suspense...
Under the mixing of "Zhou Tienan", the incident of the coppersmith posing as Lu Deshui was exposed, and he immediately knelt down in front of the commissioner and prostrated his head like a garlic.
The commissioner knew that he was connected with the interests of the school, and he asked the coppersmith to continue to perform in front of the Americans, and the coppersmith implied that the commissioner killed the "donkey to get water", Sun Jiajia ran out to let go of the donkey, and the guard wanted to go out to kill the donkey, and was blocked by "Zhou Tienan".
A gunshot "Zhou Tienan" fell in response, and after a while he woke up again, it turned out that the guards had run away, and when Zhou Tienan was still rejoicing in his own life, the muzzle of the commissioner's gun was directly on the door of his head, and this time he directly put Zhou Tienan, who always wanted to be the savior, into kneeling in front of the commissioner in fear, crying dead and frequently apologizing.
Seeing that the police officer was going to rape Zhang Yiman, Zhou Tienan immediately changed his body, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shrank in the corner.
Zhang Yiman, who was insane, principal Sun asked her to concentrate on making school uniforms in the house, and not to come out no matter what she heard.
American philanthropist - Ross finally came, Teacher Lu Deshui continued his acting career with another attitude, donkey (Lu) two teachers gathered together, it is really human nature like cattle, cattle like life!
The rector who met Rosson said: ".
Rose was sad to hear this and wanted to take ten thousand dollars to compensate Teacher Lu's family, but who pretended to be the daughter-in-law of the "donkey water" teacher?
The Commissioner first considered the coppersmith's daughter-in-law, but the crowd said, ""
In the end, Donkey Gotshui's fiancée fell on Principal Sun Jiajia, who did not know how to open his mouth for a while, and Zhou Tienan became a lobbyist for Sun Jiajia.
Sun Jiajia, who has always been simple, kind and frank, did not want to do deceptive things, and she said to Zhou Tienan:
Zhou Tienan said to Sun Jiajia, ""
Finally, at the request of my father, I agreed!
In order to express his apologies for the death of teacher "Lu Deshui", Sun Jiajia wanted to tell Ross the truth, but was once again compromised by his father, who knelt down to himself.
Ross asked Sun Jiajia if she had any wishes he could help, and Principal Sun said directly: "She wants to go to the United States for further study." But at this time, the coppersmith "Lu Deshui" suddenly resurrected when he heard it, and directly started from the coffin and said: "I also want to go to the United States." ”
Did Chinese around 1942 have an American dream in mind? No wonder there have been so many overseas Chinese studying, immigrating, and settling in the United States in the past, which reminds me of the storyline of a movie "Chinese Partner".
The film tells the story of Cheng Dongqing, Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang, who met their college friends in the 80s, who dreamed of going to the United States together. It is just that Chinese who have no chance to go to the United States, their hearts are always stirring, and they have the opportunity to go to the United States Chinese, and when they arrive in the United States, they find that their advantages are not valued, and some American dreams are fulfilled, some American dreams are shattered, and some American dreams are fulfilled and broken. Just like the final dream Xiaojun, the Story of the American Dream Shattered and Returning to China, letting go of his posture and working with his former friends to set up an English training school and realize the "Chinese Dream".
Ross felt deceived, Zhou Tienan Pei Kuishan and the two teachers turned on the flickering mode, what Jesus, suspended animation phenomenon all moved out, and really gave the Yankees to the tiger.
Rose decided to put ten thousand dollars as a wedding gift for the two of them, the wedding began the coppersmith's daughter-in-law came to stir up trouble, the police officer rushed to pull out the gun, wanted to solve this scary thing, but where to think of the mother night fork is a practicing family, a pistol was fired, the guard also experienced a gun to wipe the face of the feeling, the gun sounded the whole wedding scene was chaotic.
They fled in fright, the flowers in Zhang Yiman's hands were also trampled by everyone, but the gun was kicked in front of them by everyone from nowhere, and Zhang Yiman took the gun and ran.
A farce ended, the Ministry of Education did not punish the school, several teachers were remembered once, Principal Sun, Zhou Tienan, Pei Kuishan once again joined forces and wanted to shout the original slogan of "unity, optimism, struggle".
Principal Sun found that Zhang Yiman was missing, a crisp gunshot, and a young life was lost.
On the bed in Zhang Yiman's room, there are school uniforms she has made for several teachers... For Zhang Yiman's departure, I remembered the sentence in Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Kangqiao": Quietly I left, just as I came quietly; I waved my sleeve and did not take away a cloud.
⏩ Summary: Revealing the essence of human nature from character changes:
Principal Sun:.
➡ No principle:.
Force the coppersmith to obey.
➡ Dishonesty: In order to solve the tension between life and school expenses, Jean asked the Ministry of Education for an extra salary; in order to evade the above inspection, he asked for an extra salary.
➡ : Incompetent:
@ Dongsheng Detective If you pursue the maker of a series of pessimistic things, it must be "Principal Sun".
Zhou Tienan:.
Pei Kui Mountain:
Zhang Yiman:
Coppersmith: Simple and generous people become cunning villains.
Correspondent:
Sun Jiajia:
Coppersmith's daughter-in-law: On the surface, she is "domineering and a tendon", but in fact, she is a person who is single-minded about feelings and sees through everything.
Just like when Zhang Yiman scolded the coppersmith: "You are an animal", the coppersmith's daughter-in-law, in order to maintain the coppersmith's face, scolded everyone "you are the cattle" instead of Zhang Yiman himself, which shows that the rude and reckless people see through everyone and things.
⏩ Is Zhang Yiman really crazy? Why did she commit suicide?
I see a lot of creators who explain the film, saying that Zhang Yiman is crazy, and I think she is not crazy, but pretending to be crazy!
Reason: "Zhang Yiman" itself is a person who advocates open-mindedness and openness to the extent that he can sleep with men wherever he goes, and his thinking in 1942 was so avant-garde;
Women in the 21st century can not climb the peak, how can a person with such a big heart go completely crazy because his hair is cut?
So why did she pretend to be crazy? In order to escape the people who plotted against her, in order to complete the school uniform, the school uniform is like a flag, representing the original faith and original intention.
When Zhang Yiman's hair was cut, full of tears and a hint of emptiness, the picture of her and several teachers wearing school uniforms kept coming to mind, illustrating the original belief of the school "unity, optimism, struggle", and now the "split, pessimistic, lazy" look among colleagues, everyone abandoned her, she became a victim of everyone, she was cold... Heartache cried.
The school was no longer a place where she sought freedom. She didn't know where she deserved her free way of life, and only death could truly set her free.
⏩ Who was the bouncy ball that Sun Jiajia took away? What does it mean?
It must be Zhang Yiman's!!! The flowers that were trampled by everyone at the wedding scene, she cried so sadly, the flowers were like Zhang Yiman's hair, so she loved beauty, she was most afraid that she would not be beautiful one day, she was ridiculed as an "ugly duckling", imperfect herself, she would rather pretend to be crazy and sell stupid life...
At the end of the movie, the "bouncy ball" runs to every place, implying that Zhang Yiman pursues a "free, open, optimistic" outlook on life, which is her beautiful dream! Even on the day of death, let the soul be free and free...
The movie "Donkey Got Water" is officially defined as a "comedy" Many viewers watched this movie and had mixed reviews, saying that it was a play copy rather than a complete film.
@ Dongsheng Exploration I personally feel that "Donkey Got Water" is more to highlight the "tragic" color, from the beginning of the crowd one lie round another lie, self-deception, to the final change in the mood of the crowd, the change in the essence of human nature, it can be seen how pitiful the life is.
I think comedy or tragedy are mutually infiltrative relationships, just like every movie of Stephen Chow, when we watched Stephen Chow's movies when we were young, we thought it was a comedy, and when we grew up, we found that it was all "gray humor" tragedies.
Another "drama" highlights the overall look and feel, while the film reflects more of the outstanding characteristics of each character's expression, physical action, and language, which is a point that the drama cannot capture.
I think this movie is not only a complete film, but also a fine product that China has not been able to make in recent years, what do you think?
