Director Han Han's new film "Four Seas" is being screened, telling a simple and pure love story, Wu Renyao played by Liu Haoran and Huan Song played by Liu Haocun like each other, the real reality makes them unable to smoothly carry out their love affair and rush to the difficult road of making a living.
This is the fourth work directed by Han Han, starring Liu Haoran, Liu Haocun, Shen Teng, Yin Zheng, Qiao Shan, Wang Yanlin, Zhou Qi, Wang Yanlin and so on. Before Han Han's "After Forever" may show the confusion of life, and then the director's "Flying Life" is a tribute to racing cars, "Riding the Wind and Waves" may be a release of parental love, and this "Four Seas" feels like a commitment and vision of love and responsibility.
Almost orphaned, Wu Renyao has been dependent on his grandmother since he was a child, his mother died early, his father wandered around, and the allegorical feeling of the movie title "Four Seas" is a commentary on wandering. In fact, people's lives are to find belonging in the continuous wandering, whether this belonging is hometown or metropolis, in fact, it is a choice for Wu Renyao.
The film more cleverly portrays the story of two generations, which is the story of Wu Renyao and Wu Renteng, father and son, the understanding of responsibility and obligation is not the same, and the expression of love is also different. Father Wu Renteng has been wandering, falling in love with different women, and eventually has his own new home and children, and Wu Renyao is in love with Huan song, destined not to be impressed by other girls, has always wanted to help Huan Song reduce pressure, so he privately decided to make his own choice.
The film emphasizes the individual's pursuit of life, some people may say that Wu Renyao is a love brain, almost taking his own life in order to celebrate, but Wu Renyao is happy to do so, more willing to pay for his beloved person, he does not desire to celebrate his love for himself, so he just silently sacrifices all this, mainly for the beloved to reduce the burden.
Huan song actually did not want to rely on Wu Renyao to pay off his brother's debts for himself, they decided to separate, although this made it difficult for Wu Renyao to accept, but Huansong may have always felt guilty about Wu Renyao in his heart, because Wu Renyao's car was detained by the traffic police. So later, Heying let people steal the car, in order to make Wu Renyao feel sorry for him, because his beloved car was back. But it backfires, some things are not something you want to accomplish, and regrets always remain in everyone's minds in a broken way.
The expression of emotion throughout the film is delicate and sincere, and Wu Renyao and Huan Song actually do not express their love for each other, but they have acquiesced to such an ending in their hearts. Maybe love is always imperfect, because there are regrets and flaws. The film is still in place in the treatment of many details, which plays a certain role in portraying the character characteristics of the characters.
Han Han's directing skills are still constantly improving, and "Four Seas" is undoubtedly a relatively pure love movie, because the male and female protagonists basically have not kissed and hugged the camera, and they have always maintained a pure and perfect image of each other in their hearts. This is not a tall love movie, of course, it is not a pure racing story, but the desire and regret of ordinary young men and women for love in their hearts, because imperfection has memories worth cherishing.
The film lineup is strong, in addition to Liu Haoran and Liu Haocun starring, there are also cameos by Shen Teng, Feng Shaofeng, Wan Ziliang, Huang Xiaoming and Qiao Shan, whose performances are remarkable, and they are also the foil of green leaves to red flowers, complementing each other and making a deep impression.
