What kind of film and television works can be called good? Everyone's answer is different because everyone's tastes are different. Xiaobian believes that a good work, at least after the audience has watched it, will have the idea of wanting to watch it a second time.
A good movie needs time to precipitate, and it also takes time to slowly taste. The next Taiwanese movie that Xiaobian wants to recommend is worth spending this time.
First of all, let's talk about the background of the story, in 1949, the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek began to retreat to Taiwan, and the story we want to tell is based on this background.
The name of the story is "Say Love to the Wind", and it was released in Taiwan with another name, "The Wind In the Family". Whichever name it is, it is all related to the wind. What does the wind represent? The wind is invisible, comes and goes without a trace, representing drifting.
The film is co-starred by Guo Caijie, Guo Biting, Yang Youning, Li Chun, Hu Yuwei, Ke Jiayi, Li Xiaochuan, Zou Xuanqi and so on. The film was released on June 26, 2015 in Chinese mainland. Director Wang Tong carefully prepared for this drama for 5 years and spent 36 million yuan to create. The emphasis on the scene, retro costumes, and low-rise village waiting all bring back to that rustic era, showing the changes of the times in Taiwan for more than 60 years.
In the play, Guo Caijie debuted with long hair for the first time, and Guo Biting cut her long hair short for this drama. Li An's son Li Chun offered Guo Caijie his first on-screen kiss.
After the film was released in the mainland, there were not many audiences who saw it, and to this day, there are only 7425 people in the Douban movie, with a rating of 6.6 points, and the editor feels that, in all fairness, this rating is low, and this work should be more than this point. However, this kind of niche slightly literary film, the audience is indeed not much.
The male protagonist of the story, Sheng Peng (Yang Youning), is a company commander of the Kuomintang army and receives the order to die, but in the face of the heroic People's Liberation Army, it is certainly impossible to hold. Sheng Peng was injured, under the protection of Xiao Fan and Shunzi's two brothers, in the process of escaping in the town, met a little boy, out of sympathy for the little boy, they took the little boy with them, and since then the little boy has three fathers. In the process of fleeing, they encountered the Kuomintang troops who had withdrawn to Taiwan, and the commander of the Tong regiment said that Lü Bu had three fathers, so he named the little boy Xiao Fengxian.
The group boarded a boat bound for Taiwan, and when they went, they looked across the sea from the mainland and never returned to their hometown in their lifetime. Sheng Peng has a wife at home, when he left home, his wife was pregnant, counting the time, should have been born, he missed his wife very much, and he also wanted to know whether the child was a boy or a girl, he wanted to return to them, but the reality was that he was getting farther and farther away from them.
On the ship full of gunfire, Sheng Peng and his party and Qiu Xiang (Guo Biting) and Qiu Mei (Guo Caijie) befriended each other, but they did not expect that such a fate of Pingshui would accompany each other for a lifetime.
When he arrived in Taiwan, with the help of Commander Tong, Sheng Peng retired from the army. Xiao Fan and Shunzi sneaked out to catch up with him, and the identity of the deserter made the two fearful all day long, and the deserter was caught back, and he had to shed a layer of skin without dying. In order to solve the worries of the two people, Sheng Peng went to the pawnshop to remove the wedding ring to dredge the relationship, and helped the two get a formal discharge certificate, and the two were no longer afraid.
Fate tricked, Qiu Xiang and Sheng Peng met again, Qiu Xiang had feelings for Sheng Peng, Sheng Peng also had an interest in Qiu Xiang, but Sheng Peng could not forget his wife in the mainland, so he did not dare to open his heart to pursue Qiu Xiang.
Time kept flowing like that, and Xiao Fengxian was slowly growing up and starting to go to school. Xiao Fan and the noodle stall owner's girl Ayu (Ke Jiahui) married, Shunzi was dissatisfied, unable to live a peaceful life with them, so Sheng Pengtuo relationship, sent land to Shunzi, Shunzi left, went to the mountain to plant pears, only appeared twice, once at Xiao Fan's funeral, once at Xiao Fengxian's wedding, but from the final photo situation, the three brothers who came to Taiwan, Shunzi should be the happiest one, with a wife, but also have children.
Xiao Fan's child was not yet born, and in a fire, he died to save people. Since then, Ayu has been running a noodle shop with Sheng Peng while pulling two children to grow up.
And Qiu Mei and Xiao Fengxian are also in love with each other for a long time. Sister Qiu Xiang's affection for Sheng Peng, Qiu Mei could naturally see it. Under the arrangement of the two, Qiu Xiang and Sheng Peng met again. Qiu Xiang is going to study in the United States, in fact, to marry, she does not want to marry. Sheng Peng finally plucked up the courage and gave her a flower with tied hair, and then the two went on a date and embraced and kissed each other.
Originally thought that the two would get married, but soon after, Qiu Xiang's father was arrested, in order to rescue his father, she had to go to her nominal fiancé's family, and in this way, her relationship with Sheng Peng ended in vain. Then the Qiu family moved, and Qiu Mei and Xiao Fengxian also broke off contact.
At the same time, in the long-term relationship, Ayu also developed feelings for Sheng Peng, but was rejected by Sheng Peng. Under such circumstances, Ayu could no longer live under the same roof as Sheng Peng, so she took the child and left.
Later, when Xiao Fengxian went to the bank to withdraw money, he met Qiu Mei again. They are also considered to be green plum bamboo horses, this time met, the feelings of the two heated up sharply, and finally talked about marriage.
Sheng Peng, on the other hand, also inadvertently met Ayu again, and Qiu Xiang also flew back from the United States. Because of the marriage of the two, the deceased who has been separated for a long time will finally reunite. It's just that the years have changed, the surrounding environment has changed, and everyone has changed.
After a brief encounter, it was a sad parting. Everyone was gone, and only Sheng Peng was left, sitting in the deserted room in a daze.
Feng Xian and Qiu Mei had children, and Sheng Peng was already full of white hair, and finally, his limit arrived, and throughout his life, he did not return to the mainland again to see his wife and children.
And when Feng Xiandu was old, he finally found out about Sheng Peng's relatives, that Xiao Fan once said that the brother-in-law who was accidentally killed by Sheng Peng was still in the human world, and Sheng Peng's son and wife died not long after they went to Taiwan, but Sheng Peng never knew, and finally the way he met his wife could only go through a pair of wedding rings, and the story ended from then on.
The whole story has no swinging intestines, but songs and tears, stirring up and downs of conflict, but after reading it, it makes people have deep regrets. If Sheng Peng had known that his brother-in-law had not been killed by himself, and that his son and wife had died, perhaps his life would not have been so lonely.
Maybe people's lives will always leave with a little regret.
