introduction:
"She was strapped over my shoulders, wearing a tube skirt that wrapped tightly around her legs, her hair hanging low to my waist. The clouds in the sky were hurried, and there were only two of us in the mountains. I just hit her twice on the ass, and it was so hard that the burning sensation was drifting away. After the fight, I didn't care about anything else and continued to climb the mountain.
Chen Qingyang said that at that moment, she felt weak, and she collapsed and hung on my shoulder. At that moment she felt like a spring vine wrapped around a tree, and a bird was clinging to a person. She never wanted to pay any more attention to anything else, and forgot everything in that instant. In that instant she fell in love with me, and that could never be changed. ”
This is the end of the writer Wang Xiaobo's classic work "The Golden Age", writing that Chen Qingyang was slapped twice by Wang Er in the novel. At that moment she suddenly realized that Wang Er loved herself as his woman, not some "great friendship", and from that moment she was like a spring vine wrapped around a tree, a bird clinging to a person, and fell in love with him forever.
The novel ends abruptly at this point, but it reverberates for a long time. All along, it has been discussed by readers who like his works why Chen Qingyang, who was beaten, fell in love with Wang Er.
The movie I'm talking to you about today, one of the scenes is similar to here in "The Golden Age", and when I revisited this movie recently, I suddenly thought that Wang Xiaobo must have been influenced by it. Because the hero in the play also gave the heroine a slap in the face.
The name of this movie is very haunting, it is a black-and-white film made in the United States in the 1930s - "One Night Wind".
<h1>A "One Night Wind" wind flow</h1>
Once when I recommended this movie to my friends, they all had ambiguous expressions, mysterious smiles, and kept squeezing each other's eyebrows and making eyes "huh huh huh". But after watching it, I can't help but marvel, saying that although the film is old, it has a lively spirit, and when you look at it, you know that "Roman Holiday" also borrows many of its bridges, but its story is better than "Roman Holiday", which can be brushed again and again.
It's certainly worth brushing up on and over again, and we know it by looking at the achievements of this old film and the sensation it caused at the time.
It was the first work in history to win an Oscar Grand Slam. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, all went into its pocket. The record remained there for forty years until 1975, when it was equalized by Flying Over the Madhouse.
The film was also the first film to win both the Academy Awards and the National Board of Review Award for Best Picture. And it succeeded in elevating the second- and third-rate production companies in Columbia Pictures directly to the ranks of first-class film companies.
In the play Clark Gable played Peter, the dress of the wide coat, V-neck shirt and wide-brimmed hat led the trend of the times and became the most fashionable dress for men at that time. Also because Clark Gable did not wear a vest under his shirt during the filming of the filming of undressing in the hotel scene, people began to think that wearing a vest was very old-fashioned, which affected the sales of underwear and directly led to the closure of many underwear factories.
During that period of the Great Depression, people lived extremely poorly, but they were willing to buy a ticket to the cinema to see this comedy, laugh out loud together, and dispel the clouds of sorrow. The crowd that bought tickets lined up from the box office door to the sidewalk, and many people were mesmerized and watched it over and over again.
So I'm also willing to recommend this movie to you – friends who see this article, it may not make you understand the big truth, but it will definitely make you laugh and laugh.
Is there anything better in this world than laughter?
<h1>II. New reflections on "One Night Wind"</h1>
Books are often read and often new, and the same is true of movies.
Watching this movie before, I was always confused by Clark Gable's smile, thinking that this person's soul and appearance are so picky, interesting and beautiful, without money, there is no money! It should also be the object of fascination of thousands of young girls.
Then rewind over and over again, watching him and Ellie pretend to be husband and wife and quarrel, deceive the detective sent by their father, the two people chattered and secretly lived; and he said that he had a lot of experience in stopping the car, and he could not stop a book, and then Ellie stopped on the side of the road, the skirt was lifted, the beautiful legs were exposed, and immediately there was a car "quacking" a foot brake. Then the two men exchanged looks, Ellie was triumphant, and he was very depressed.
Although these scenes have been watched many times, it is still very enjoyable to watch each time.
While being happy, I also wondered:
The title of this movie is "One Night Wind", the two people shown in the movie have been together for three nights, which night does this "one night of wind and current" refer to?
Because the three nights and nights have their own fun, I have not been able to get a correct solution.
Watching this movie now, I'm starting to focus more on other characters. For example, Ellie's father, Monopoly Andrews.
He loves his daughter to the point of fear, and everywhere he lets the bodyguards follow his daughter, and the lively and free Ellie of course has to resist, so that she escapes her father's sight again and again. It also inspires us to love our children, but not to let our love become a child's imprisonment.
He knew that the pilot his daughter was dating, Kim Weasley, was a playboy who was deceiving his daughter who was not deeply involved in the world, and of course he strongly opposed his daughter's association with him, so he did not hesitate to lock her daughter on the yacht, and when the father and daughter quarreled fiercely, he could not help but slap his daughter, so Ellie jumped into the sea and fled to New York to meet the lover. Seeing this, I can't help but reflect on how the child's rebellious psychology is "reversed", and parents and children may ruin their children's lives by being tough.
I also began to pay more attention to the female protagonist, thinking that although this girl has all kinds of spoiled bad problems like the male protagonist hates, she is indeed as vibrant as the male protagonist likes, full of vitality, and is a cute and good girl.
After reading it many times, I began to think newly:
Apparently, Peter had begun to like this naïve chick who was a little squeamish and a little arrogant from the time Ellie gave her money generously to the little boy whose mother was sick. But when did Ellie begin to fall in love with this poor journalist who was downcast? When did they start to understand their intentions?
After watching it several times and thinking of Wang Xiaobo's "Golden Age", I began to trance:
When Peter handed the box to Ellie and let Ellie carry it, he freed his hand and slapped Ellie hard on the ass. Ellie, who was still elated, knew nothing and couldn't help but scream.
Maybe from that moment Ellie fell deeply in love with him.
And the "one night" of "One Night Wind" is talking about which night, and there is an answer.
<h1>Three small rivers sparkling, all are hazy of love</h1>
To prevent Shepley from reporting Ellie's whereabouts to Ellie's father, Peter dragged Ellie into the run.
Suddenly, a small river appeared in front of me.
The film makes that segment extremely beautiful, especially hazy:
The moonlight and stars reflect the water, the small river is sparkling, and the river gently sings and flows. Ellie trusted Peter completely and stood on the wood by the river, and then Peter carried her on his shoulders at once. Thus the two men began to wade across the river.
The little girl was so excited that she had never experienced such a river crossing, and she carried Peter's shoes and deliberately shook them, and the shoes gently hit Peter. Peter criticizes her for not making a fool of herself, she obediently stops, but her mouth continues to talk to Peter, and the two argue about whether Ellie's father, Andrews, will "turn his back".
You say a word to me, the more you talk, the little girl is still stubbornly saying "my father is very good at backing people", Peter handed him the right-hand box, quietly said "help me take it", and Ellie just took it, and was slapped on the ass by Peter's free hand.
From that moment on, she fell in love with him. It's just that she herself hasn't realized her love yet.
At the haystack, she continued to complain to Peter that she was cold and hungry, and although Peter thought she was in trouble, he still felt sorry for her and went to find food for her.
At this time, Ellie did not know that Peter was walking away, and she continued to be hard-mouthed, pretending to be strong. She said proudly:
"You're getting really nasty! You scold me as soon as I open my mouth, if you hate me, you can leave, you can leave at any time! Why are you still staying? I have no problem alone! ”
After saying such a long paragraph, she could not hear Peter's ridicule, she looked back and found that Peter was no longer here, she really panicked, when had she become so dependent on him? She didn't know it, but when Peter reappeared with a large handful of carrots, she immediately threw herself into Peter's arms and cried.
She told the inexplicable Peter that she was too scared to forget about being hungry, and Peter couldn't help but get mad, complaining that "you can really drive people crazy." Then he still picked up his trench coat and put it on her. Two people face to face, the first time they were so close, no, the first time they realized it was so close, aware of their own hearts, but neither was sure of each other's hearts.
One was thinking: I am the big trouble in his eyes, a stupid and bad-tempered squeamish ghost! He was with me just to use me, just to get a scoop.
One was thinking: Can't fall in love with her, she's someone else's fiancée, she's with me, just using me to find the playboy.
But they all know that they have each other's shadow in their hearts.
<h1>Fourth, the ambiguous period of love, hitting is kissing, scolding is love. </h1>
If the spanking in front of the two people has not yet sensed each other's love, then the angry scolding that Peter blurted out later completely revealed the love he hid in his heart.
The two men got into the scammer's car, and when they got to a restaurant on the side of the road, the scammer pretended to get out of the car to eat, and asked the two of them if they were going. The hungry Ellie was overjoyed, but was overbearingly rejected by Peter on the side.
Peter asked: Are you going to trick him into inviting you to eat?
Ellie replied: "Of course, seriously, I'm hungry. I'm going in.
When you're done, you're going to get out of
Peter took her hand and scolded her rudely: No! Otherwise I'll break your neck!
Both men froze, and Ellie vaguely sensed peter's difference, but she was too young! Peter did not read through such a move.
When Peter finished speaking, he knew that he was disrespectful, because he accidentally exposed his inner secrets. He dodged Ellie's exploratory gaze, somewhat helpless, and he turned his face, not daring to look into Ellie's eyes, full of unnatural writing.
Although Ellie did not fully understand, but there was already a tacit understanding in action, she finally obeyed, endured hunger and did not go. Later, in the car she took back, like a wife who was distressed by her husband, she carefully wiped the blood on Peter's forehead, and then took a carrot from Peter's clothes, a carrot she would rather starve than eat, and silently ate it one bite at a time.
Her heart was hidden in the carrot that had been eaten.
Now let's look at the two fights and scoldings in the movie, which can unlock the love of the hero and heroine and unlock the previous problem.
A man, a gentleman who beats a woman like this, scolds a woman, there is only one possibility, and that is that he feels that this is his own woman, his beloved woman. Otherwise he would always be polite to her.
In the same way, there is only one reason why a woman can be accepted by such a man to be beaten or scolded, that is, she also loves this man and accepts this man's love. Otherwise she would have slapped the offending man with her backhand.
"Hitting is kissing, scolding is love", this is the case in this ambiguous period of unclear love. Their tacit understanding is that there is a different intimacy between beating and beating, scolding and being scolded, and they all acquiesce to this intimacy and enjoy such intimacy.
Such a plot is in this movie, wang Xiaobo's novel, and also in Jin Yong's "Flying Fox Biography":
Round sex said, "You just have to go west, don't worry about me." I have my own way out. Hu Fei's chest surged with blood, and he drank: "We are both dead and alive together!" What nonsense are you talking about? Follow me. Roundness was drunk by him so roughly and violently, and the sweet antipathy in his heart was used, knowing that he was seriously injured, he could not make the soft whip, so he lifted the reins and followed Hu Fei on horseback.
At the critical juncture, Hu Fei no longer hid it, and his true feelings were revealed, and his "rough voice and violentness" were full of love for Yuan Ziyi, and Yuan Ziyi also experienced Hu Fei's love for him in this "rough and violent", so he felt sweet and very useful in his heart. You see, "hitting" or "scolding" are two people who have eliminated the sense of distance between ordinary people, and in this seemingly rude act, there is an extraordinary "ordinary" love.
So I would say that the most windy night, the most windy moment, is wading through the moonlit river, in the pasture, under the haystacks, on the soft hay laid, two people staring at each other, kissing the time when they were not kissing.
<h1>postscript:</h1>
Many times, love is not spoken, but made. Love or not love a person, take a person's love or not, you can know by looking at their actions.
For example, when two people hitchhik on the side of the road, Peter gently uses a knife to carefully remove the hay buds from Ellie's teeth.
If Ellie didn't love him, she wouldn't let the man get so close to her, and she wouldn't let Peter pick her teeth. Similarly, Peter would never have picked her teeth if he didn't love her.
After all, such a thing as flossing teeth, if you don't love, you will just endure it for both parties.
