"This movie is not about success, it's about happiness."
Author | Ginger ginger
Exploded.
I'm talking about the word of mouth of the film.
In this year's lively Spring Festival file, as the audience's ratings have surfaced one after another, "Miracle Stupid Child" directed by Wen Muye and starring Yi Yanqianxi has received more and more true feelings of Amway.
The total score of the five platforms was the first, and countless people were touched by laughter and tears.
Even in the People's Daily's Microblog, the first few high-praise comments are the "tap water" of "Miracle".
And after watching the movie, I want to say:
Director Wen Muye, who has been excellent from "I Am Not a Medicine God" so far, is worth it.
Yi Qianxi, whose acting skills are progressing rapidly and his performance is delicate and heartfelt, is worth it.
This film, which is about changing one's life against the odds and about ordinary efforts, is worth it.
01 Child
In "Miracle Stupid Child", there are two heart-wrenching children in the opening scene.
Sister Jing Tong is a cute and sensible little angel. She laughed sweeter than a lollipop, but unfortunately had a hereditary heart disease, and the doctor recommended that she have surgery as soon as possible.
The elder brother, Jing Hao, is a big boy who has just turned twenty years old and has not yet taken off. He tried his best to take care of his sister and make a living by repairing his mobile phone, but he could not get rid of the constraints of life.
Finally, faced with the high cost of surgery, he had to choose to "gamble"...
The film is called "Stupid Child", but Jing Hao, played by Yi Qianxi, has a convincing "cleverness" when he appears.
He is the "Jing boss" who will repair any mobile phone, relying on technology to crisscross the legendary Shenzhen Huaqiang North;
It is also a "Professor Jing" who can disassemble the technical work into a fool's tutorial, and the "dismantling tutorial" launched can be called the ceiling of the tutorial industry.
However, in the eyes of some people, he is indeed a bit "stupid".
"Stupid" is too stubborn - doing business with technology is not by flattery, and large customers let him "erase zero" He also sticks to his neck to collect the price; he desperately wants to do the right thing, even if he is sneered at, he will never turn back.
"Stupid" in the front - a young age dares to think of a big big plan, at a huge risk and gritted his teeth hard; to look down on their executives diss up softly, spit out famous sentences such as: "Call me a working boy?" Aren't you also working part-time? "Other companies don't do it and you don't do it, are you their subsidiary?"
He is even more "stupid" in pride - obviously he has endured too much pressure that should not be borne at his age, and he has obviously reached a situation where there is no way out, but he has never once exchanged his miserable experience for sympathy.
In order to fight for a chance, he still struggled to run with his whole body injured;
Because he could not pay the rent, he was locked by the landlord and left his sister homeless;
In order to pay the workers, he climbed in the hot sun outside the towering office building to do high-altitude cleaning;
He was in a car accident in order to chase down the people who stole the goods, and was advised at the police station that "young people should not worry about these things"...
Countless times when I was not understood and not treated kindly, I was sad about his suffering, but I was worried that he really used his helplessness to "sell misery".
But fortunately, this "stupid child" who did his best not to hesitate did not once exchange weakness for sympathy.
That's great.
Suffering stole too much happiness from him, but it did not deprive him of integrity and backbone.
What he uses to communicate with the world is always his own thoughts, efforts, and courage, not age, identity, and encounters.
02 Miracle
Before watching the movie, I already knew that this is a story about "dreams".
I also vaguely worried that behind the description of "miracle", will it be too suspended urban fantasy?
But the story of Jing Hao in the movie, instead of levitating, is full of countless truths that will make people laugh or make people feel sad and moving.
Jing Hao's road to pursuing his dreams was really hard.
He has experienced changes that have changed countless people like policy adjustments, and he has also encountered the grounded dilemma of employee harassment.
In the second half of the film, I even pray in my heart: "This should be the most miserable, right?" It won't make him worse anymore, right? ”
You see, it's like a lot of real-life dream stories, and even harder than some dream stories:
It begins with surprises, forced into difficulties, despair at lows, every birth is persistent, and ecstasy is in the realization of dreams.
But the amazing thing is that looking back at the whole movie, what is brought to the audience is more brisk and relaxed.
This has a lot to do with director Wen Muye's comedic way of expression.
The heavy goal of raising money for your sister's surgery and the frustrations of starting a business don't change a surprising reality: It's a movie that will make you really laugh.
The protagonist of the newborn calf who is not afraid of the tiger, the "unreliable" team, the unbearable life-like dialogue... All collided with countless cute laugh points.
The role that contracted half of my laughter was definitely the "wind-chasing teenager" played by Xu Juncong.
As the god of the Internet café and the holder of the continuous night record, he always has the melancholy hairstyle of the blonde handsome man on the QQ head, and slightly holds his head high, guarding his pride and glory.
Perhaps the reason why this character is funny is that he reminds you of the proud and melancholy man you have met, the big child who seems crazy but is actually naïve.
If you observe carefully enough, you may also find some familiar and cute old faces in the movie, such as Zhang Yu, who plays the captain of the high-altitude cleaning team, or Xu Zheng, who flashes by at the wedding banquet and plays the chef of the village.
Looking back at Jing Hao's success, if only a few words are described, it seems to be brilliant as a miracle.
But behind this, it is the film's heartfelt praise for "hard-working dreamers" and the belief that "God favors stupid children".
And jinghao, who gritted his teeth and persevered and passed the hurdle, is also the epitome of countless people who have created miracles for themselves with their hands in the process of shenzhen's rapid development and China's rapid development.
03 "You"
If you want to say the biggest reason for recommending "Miracle Stupid Child", it is probably that it strives to tell a story that is miraculous to the point of "changing your life against the sky", just to really encourage every hard "you" with heart.
The most touching scene in the film is in the most lively gathering, Uncle Liang asked Jinghao:
"What are you going to do?"
The boy, whose cheeks were flushed with drunkenness, flashed a polite and shy smile: "You know, treat your sister." ”
Uncle Liang said, "I'm asking—what about you?" What about yourself? ”
At that moment, Jing Hao's eyes suddenly switched from the excitement in front of him to confusion and vulnerability.
He had been used to growing up desperately to take care of a child for too long, forgetting that he was still a child.
A child worthy of dreams, hopes and futures.
If the direct reason for Jing Hao's efforts at the beginning was to raise money for his sister's surgery, then the unexpected gain in the process of his efforts afterwards was to feel more and more his dreams and strength.
"I Am Not a Medicine God", which was once highly acclaimed, is impressive because of its wonderful group portrait modeling. And now, director Wen Muye has once again shown the group portrait portrayal skills that almost no shot wastes in "Miracle Stupid Child".
The most evocative thing in the movie is the stark "you" in the film.
Look at how "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Jing's team is - Lady ear back, Internet café god brother, nursing home disabled grandfather, amateur boxer...
And the reasons why they first met under the director of JingChang were exactly the same:
The low wages here can only attract these "big gods" who really can't find other jobs.
They seem to be the "little people" in life, but with the advancement of the plot, they show the "loneliness" and "courage" of each small character, outlining the story of their own growth and happiness.
Some people have experienced social injustice, but choose to fight this injustice with their thin bodies to the end;
Some people remain kind in the constraints of life, and do not want to live up to friends and partners;
Someone once gave up on himself, but because the person he loved was determined to reinvigorate...
In the end, the most gratifying thing is not how impressive success they have achieved, but that after they are confused, injured, and fallen, they bravely choose to live hard and create miracles for themselves.
After watching the movie and making up a few tidbits, I saw director Wen Muye say, "This movie is actually not about success, it is about happiness." ”
Yes, compared with success in the worldly sense, we are more certain and more should pay attention to, perhaps it is the "happiness" that we really care about. And this is the most beautiful "miracle" in the world.
What the film wants to tell us is precisely this simple but warm truth:
As long as we work hard, we can pursue the happiness we want.
— THE END —
