"Tears, healing, resonance".
Mentioning this Spring Festival file repeatedly rushed to the hot search, the word of mouth is high, many people will first think of Wen Muye's "Miracle Stupid Child".
This is a story that focuses on ordinary people, and it pulls every one of us who are running for life into a group of empathetic strivers.
Even if you don't have the same situation as the characters, you will find a little comfort in the cruelty and tenderness you tell.
When you see them, you will feel that in a smile, the most moving thing is the preciousness of those ordinary moments under the storm.
The story begins on an ordinary morning, the protagonist Jing Hao takes care of his sister to go to school, the perspective slowly opens, and the warm details are thick with clouds.
The father abandoned his wife and son, the mother died of illness, and the brothers and sisters depended on each other for their lives. The 20-year-old Jing Hao has borne too much on his body, and his sister's heart disease has become a thunder buried in a dull life.
If she doesn't make enough money for heart surgery in a year and a half, her sister's condition is likely to drag down her body.
With the goal of "making money" as the main line that runs through the whole situation, the miracle story of the little people begins.
The city of Shenzhen has given birth to countless entrepreneurial myths, huge wealth and opportunities surging between buildings, it gives many people the impetus to soar, but it also often makes ordinary people fall into the quagmire of choices.
When Jing Hao finally found a rich business, and his sister's surgery saw that there was a landing, the flat ground thundered, and fate dragged him into a cruel vortex that could not be broken.
Take out all your wealth to bet on a batch of goods, but this batch of goods will soon be smashed in the hand, and there is no return.
For his sister's life, his only option was to "gamble again."
Breaking through adversity, the main line of "Miracle Stupid Kid" is a common inspirational story, but it is not old-fashioned.
The portrayal of the details of ordinary people's lives can give the audience a strong sense of substitution, and when slowly reviewing, it is difficult not to be moved by the details.
Nursing home nurses, hearing-impaired laid-off mothers, boxers with violent histories, "Internet café gods" who set a record for the night, grandfather of the watchmaker who is old and strong... Together with the protagonist, they formed a "miracle squad" with a mix of painting styles.
Among them are ordinary laborers, but there are also many who see as losers, because of flawed experiences are labeled as defective products, life has forced them to nowhere.
But we see more of it, it's the helplessness of involuntariness.
Or being squeezed by an unreasonable work environment to cause physical problems, or being imprisoned for standing up and resisting. They struggled to survive in their own way, colliding with sparks in a chance encounter.
The most valuable thing about these "strange" characters is that their stories are not the losers licking their wounds and warming each other.
Instead, an ordinary person with flesh and blood took the initiative to stand up and use the most authentic tolerance and kindness to create a second home in the steel forest.
Another manifestation of realism comes from the fact that each actor contributes a steady performance.
Yi Qianxi's acting skills in "Miracle Stupid Child" have gone further, which can be called a surprise hand in the shaping of the realism of the plot.
Jing Hao in the story is only 20 years old, but he has to bear the pressure of life and gamble for his sister's life.
In different situations, this character has a strong sense of layering. He has to face the rules and language of the business world, and he has to face the law of the jungle for small people to make a living.
In the middle of a vast city, fate treats him like an ant.
The scene of chasing a truck best reflects this identity contradiction, in the face of the criminal gang that stole raw materials, he released great despair and anger, the danger on the road has undergone several twists and turns, and violence has become the most direct means to get out of the predicament.
But in the request to the company's executives, the wounded and helpless he became the weak child, the confrontation in the mall could not tolerate barbarism and sympathy, and a typhoon in the story pushed the atmosphere of no way out to the climax.
It's an adult and a child. Fierceness and innocence bloomed in his eyes at the same time, he wandered between different rules, but what remained unchanged was always firm and gentle.
Zhang Chao, the god of the Internet café, is like a heavy adjustment, and you can always see his big grin and cynicism, like the friend next to you who has been gaging.
Xu Juncong's interpretation gives this character an extra sense of joy, casual, loose, untrimmed, just like his era-sensitive screen name, "chasing the wind teenager", free to chase the wind.
And Wang Chuanjun, who appeared as a "villain", successfully performed the role of Li Ping in a frenzy that made people's blood pressure rise.
In the face of the boss's promises, in the face of the laborers to strike hard, high education, large company supervisors, these halos gave him the capital to demean others. In reality, such examples are rare.
I have to mention the women in the film. In the face of unsatisfactory life, they always have a strong and optimistic aura.
My sister's understanding often brings tears to her eyes. The young actor Chen Harrin melted the play into the eyes, and several warm interactive scenes were like knives in sugar, and the thought of the fate she had to face couldn't help but follow her heart.
The role of Wang Chunmei was played by Qi Xi to be gentle and optimistic about the taste of neighborly affinity, hearing impaired, can only do some unstable work to support the family, she is resolutely uncompromising in the process of fighting with the former division, which also attracts the "disaster of killing".
In the middle of the story, a fight scene is used to recover her foreshadowing, the thug who forced her to sign a contract broke the hearing aid that the child bought, her tenderness turned into rage, and the character performance in the emotional catharsis went to the other extreme.
An axe, a harsh word, the image of seeing emotions more than anything else jumped on the paper. You will feel that this "crazy" character is excusable, or that under Qi Xi's interpretation, you will not help but be convinced that Wang Chunmei, the role, should have such an angry fire in his heart.
You can see that the story removes the stereotype of women. Women can fight lawsuits for physical damage caused by the workplace environment, and can drive excavators to the front-line work site.
Can be patient, but also strong, like countless female laborers in this land, holding up half of the sky, in their posts to shine.
In addition, the shaping of the city has also become a stroke that must be mentioned in the construction of realism.
The large wide-angle overhead view of the vista, the shocking contrast of high-rise buildings when Spider-Man works, the narrow residential buildings, the hustle and bustle of the labor market...
In the story, the different temperaments of the city give different depictions of different lives, and the fates of the characters who travel through different spaces have a more violent contrast.
We have witnessed too many different struggles, too many different destinies. Shenzhen is like an all-encompassing four-dimensional pocket, packing up all the troubles and confusion of individuals into the endless thinking void.
We've all experienced the uneasiness of difficult choices, and the assumptions about the future are like deeper and deeper puzzles. But because of this, we have a deeper resonance with each step of the characters in the story.
Thus, in the elevator at the end, the audience was able to cheer for the final victory like them.
The path they have traveled is also just like the ideal extension of our struggle.
Ordinary people, but also the light of ordinary people.
Moving forward in the wind and rain, taking root in the big city, and reaching the end, there are still people who meet lifelong companions.
In the story, Liu Hengzhi and Wu Xiaoli harvested simple and precious love, and the love that has struggled together and overcome difficulties is always valuable. Drenched in the wind and rain, I know how to hold an umbrella for each other in the future.
Outside of the story, there are also many people who meet people who love each other. Meeting the person who is precious, and the person who accompanies you will also go far and far with you.
At the employee's wedding, Jing Hao, as the director of the factory, raised a toast to wish. He said, "May the good times always be there." ”
Netizens commented that when he said this sentence, he had never had a "good scene" in the story.
We have too many simple wishes, but in the face of difficult and cold reality, good scenes are always difficult to find.
There are no miracles in reality, and even in the pursuit of an ordinary life, fate always seems to pour cold water in unexpected corners.
But between the buildings, in the crowded but warm huts, in the sunshine after the storm, you can always see the "Miracle Squad" on the body of the constantly running self.
People who love each other after watching "Miracle" together may feel this inner fullness more: when you meet a person who is willing to accompany you, because of the existence of TA, each other's efforts will have more meaning.
After tears there will be new opportunities, and life goes on.
You know that the hurdles ahead will be more difficult, but this time, you have a fuller and gentler courage.
