Han Han's "Four Seas" is not a very clever movie, but it is also not a bad film. It's just that I have watched too many cool dramas in the cinema over the years, and many people have been unable to face such a cruel real life. What's more, it's a day like the Spring Festival?
In the face of this vast sea, the struggles and efforts of the little people may not all be satisfactory, and in the end it is just a big dream, just returning to the same place. Even, it is better to stay where you are.
Someone left a message on the Internet saying that he didn't know what Han Han wanted to say. But I think, perhaps, only those who have read "The Outsider", or "Manchester by the Sea", or at least people who have read works such as "Shoko the Camel", only those who understand the background of life, can probably understand what Han Han is talking about.
"I'm getting close..." The dreams of the little people are always shattered when they are close.
The characters in "Four Seas" are probably such a life and ending.
Wu Renyao, the male protagonist who only wants to get love and Zhou Huansong, is the heroine who dreams of opening a small shop or fishing back a motorcycle for her boyfriend.
And Wu Renyao' father Wu Renteng, who is young and has run around the world and is old, wants to make up thirty thousand for his son but messed up the translation, Zhou Huange, who plays in the small city and only wants to win once, and even the captain of the stunt team in Guangzhou, is like this.
Does it remind you of Shoko the Camel? The driver who desperately wanted to own his own rickshaw all his life. Every time it was close, there were always accidents of one kind or another, crushing his efforts.
Some people say that the first part of "Four Seas" is very funny, laughing every minute, but the back is very pulled down. What I want to say is that it is not a pulling down, but a loneliness, loneliness and sadness after the joy has dissipated.
A group of small-town youths, living in their own world, are very satisfied, very confident, and create their own grand celebrations. Wild motorcycle races, night shows with jubilation on the roof... But all this, in fact, is the same as the name of the "ode" brother and sister, but it is a false wish, and in the end, it is "dead".
The bustling city in the distance is not necessarily the future of the youth of the small city. Wu Renyao can still only ride his motorcycle, and Zhou Huansong can still only be her restaurant waiter. The dream room was right in front of them, but they just couldn't open the door.
Some people say that the second half of the movie is like a PPT. I guess it refers to the part where Zhou Huansong is looking for a job. However, friends, thousands of migrant workers who come and go in the city, their lives in the eyes of another class, is not like the same PPT? Page after page, no one will remember them.
The outside world is not what it is imagined. Wu Renyao, who had amazing driving skills in the small town, was lightly compared by the retired drivers, and also opened his vision. It's really different.
Zhou Huansong died in a car accident, which seems to be a very sloppy method. However, those who play with the knife die under the knife, and those who will die in the water will die in the water. The basis of this story is the motorcycle, dying in a car accident, is the impermanence of life, but it is also the "fate" of this story.
In fact, "Four Seas" is a typical Han Han movie. Watching "Four Seas", it always reminds people of those characters who disappeared inexplicably in "After Forever". Most of the stories in this world will not have a happy ending. This is the truth.
If you don't struggle or work hard, there won't be good results. But after struggling and working hard, it is also true that there is no better result.
Joy and carols have dissipated, and the "no one wants" people have returned to their original points, continuing the fate repeated from generation to generation. This is probably what "Four Seas" wants to say.
