<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the joys and sorrows of the little people</h1>
Du Hongjun, played by Fan Wei, is an ordinary man who lives alone with his son after divorcing his wife.
And his job is to be responsible for watching the car, working hard, day after day. He cherishes this job very much, and the work is responsible and meticulous. Whether it is directing the vehicle to reverse the car and parking, or carefully looking at the occupants' vehicles there, it can be said that it is conscientious and responsible, for fear of making a mistake.
His son, named Xiao Yu, has a somewhat rebellious personality and always likes to work with Du Hongjun, which makes him very annoyed. In fact, it was the lack of communication between their father and son, and Du Hongjun's blind strict discipline, which also made Xiao Yu feel psychologically uncomfortable.
Du Hongjun likes Xiao Song, the florist shop owner played by Chen Xiaoyi, and the beginning of the movie is that the two of them are shooting wedding photos, and they have put marriage on the agenda and started to equip furniture.
Just this July, it was originally a good thing, Du Hongjun's mood was also good, although the days were a little bitter, a little tired, fortunately, I could see a little hope.
Unexpectedly, the arrival of a person shattered his hopes and made him make a big mistake and live in prison.
This person is Xiao Song's ex-husband Liu San, played by Zhao Jun, who was released from prison in advance, and when he returned, he repented of the divorce agreement he had negotiated with Xiao Song before, and often beat Xiao Song and Du Hongjun, bent on destroying the good deeds of the two of them.
At the beginning, Du Hongjun was blindly tolerant, he wanted his patience, let Liu San let go, did not expect that his concession in exchange for Liu San's intensification, not only beat him, but also beat his son, and even moved away the wedding furniture prepared at his home, took away their wedding photos.
Unable to bear it, in a fit of anger, he picked up the bricks, took advantage of Liu San's drunkenness, went up to beat him up, and sent himself to prison.
In the movie, you can see Fan Wei's acting skills, his study of life is very deep, the details are very well described, whether it is steps, actions, language, or even a bitter smile, a pity, a fearful look, are so profound.
In fact, he didn't want much, just a stable life, a simple job, a down-to-earth little life, helpless this life is not OK, thinking that all this is caused by Liu San, because of his arrival, everything about himself was broken, so he did the wrong thing with a fierce heart.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > father-son affection</h1>
In the movie "July of the Car Watcher", through the sadness and joy of the little people, you can also feel the touching father-son relationship.
The school let the students donate money to the poor students in the west, and the son Xiaoyu thought of the children of the good teacher who had been taking care of himself and sacrificed in the northwest, so he took out the stamps he had treasured for a long time, prepared to sell them and donate them, and also did his own love.
Unexpectedly, the money he had worked so hard to save was stolen by a few small, so he had to call a few good buddies to fight back together, but he did not expect to be arrested by the police.
After Du Hongjun arrived, he did not understand the actual situation, he saw that his son was not convinced, and he was still confronting himself, very angry, but he still helped his son write a review and took him home.
Here, we can see that on the one hand, Du Hongjun wanted to be a good husband in front of his son and give him a complete home, so he got up early and was greedy, busy, and bought all this.
On the one hand, the son did not understand him, felt that he was incompetent, only dared to shout with him, yelled at him, did not dare to go to Liu San, and in his heart, he felt sorry for his son.
However, every time he went out to find Liu San to settle the account, the words came to his mouth and could not be said, he originally wanted to beat Liu San, but every time he was beaten by Liu San, he came back.
At this moment, Liu San intensified his efforts, ran to the place where Du Hongjun was watching the car, and took advantage of his lack of attention to smash several good cars. The unit asked Du Hongjun to lose the car, which could upset him.
At this time, his son Xiaoyu could not swallow this breath, so he, who was flesh and blood, made up his mind and went to Liu San to settle the account himself, to get justice for his father.
Unexpectedly, Liu San, who was aware of it in advance, gave him a beating, and looking at his son's blue nose and swollen face, Du Hongjun finally made that decision.
It can be said that he went to liu san, on the one hand, for Xiao Song, on the one hand, for himself, on the other hand, for his son Xiaoyu, he wanted his son to see that he was a strong father.
At the end of the movie, he went to the public security bureau to turn himself in, and the son saw his father's appearance and left sad tears.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > everything to calm</h1> down
At the end of the story, everything returns to calm.
Liu San became a vegetative person, and Xiao Song took care of him every day.
His son Xiaoyu left home and went to a distant place to find his mother.
Du Hongjun was imprisoned and undergoing labor reform.
As a small person living in the city, Du Hongjun has been living hard, originally wanted to live an ordinary, ordinary life, these small wishes, did not expect to be finally failed to achieve.
All this is blamed on that Liu San, this despicable villain who saw profit and forgot righteousness, harmed Du Hongjun's family, and also harmed Xiao Song, not only did not bring Xiao Song a happy marriage, but also destroyed another beautiful life for Xiao Song.
The ending is thought-provoking, it is not a reunion ending, but a tragic story. Finally, it also showed the hope in Du Hongjun's heart, to make a good transformation, return to society in the future, and live again.
Here, I saw the heartache, sorrow and joy of a small person, the bitterness of life, tiredness, tears, all gathered in his psychology.
The film vividly shows a journey of his heart, from his steadfastness, kindness, and patience, to his depression, grief, to outburst, fear, helplessness, and then to hope, determination, and make a comprehensive display.
This is also the charm of the old movie, close to life, paying attention to the psychology of small people, grounded, simple and unpretentious, the plot is compact, the conflict is natural, and the actors have a solid foundation and are full of charm.
Life is still going on, I believe that after Du Hongjun returns to society, he will be able to usher in a new life and live a happy life that belongs to him.
Ordinary world, ordinary life, ordinary people, ordinary years, hope in despair, everything will eventually pass.
