Recently revisited the movie "Fanghua", although the residual heat of the film has passed at this time, it leaves us not only with remembrance, but also with deep thinking.
Liu Feng is the "living Lei Feng", like Comrade Lei Feng, who works hard and complains, has won countless titles of advanced individual and excellent pacesetter, and has a skillful mind, can repair floors, make cookies, and play sofas... Can constantly surprise others. Such an excellent person can supposedly capture the hearts of countless young girls, no, people can only accept his benefits, but the thought of him having "dirty" ideas makes him frightened, disgusted, and disillusioned. He is not like the bell ringer Quasimodo in "Notre Dame de Paris", ugly, one-eyed, hunched, but still not getting the respect he deserves.
For the "touch the door" incident, Liu Feng also saw the current situation clearly, and also "saw through the British name is not counted, can not be used to exchange true feelings and happiness." A former heroic model, who was exposed to reports, interrogations of the "good manners", and the verbal criticism of those who had received his countless favors, people drew a clear line with him in this way of falling into the well to show that they were correct in their thinking, and even "the most ugly bad words were spoken by Liu Feng himself, who said that he was outwardly learning lei Feng, and inside he was a bourgeois pit, smelling like flies and dirty maggots." Speaking of such an incomparable point, others naturally let him go. "This is the persecution instinct of the people of that era.
As for the period of the Vietnam War, the good old man Liu Feng disregarded his own life and death, insisted that the driver transport ammunition to the front line, made military merits, and once again as the object of commendation of the whole army, but at this time, the crippled Liu Feng had already seen all the glory, and the sacrifice of life for righteousness in the eyes of others was also a subconscious desire for death for Liu Feng.
The only person who really identifies Liu Feng's kindness is He Xiaoman (He Xiaoping in the movie), "a person who has never been treated kindly, can best identify kindness, and can also cherish kindness the most."
He Xiaoman's beautiful childhood ended when she was four years old, when her father committed suicide after being knocked down, and then remarried with her mother, as a drag oil bottle, and was not welcomed in her stepfather's house. Her mother may love her, but in order to gain a foothold in her new family, she has to seek perfection and bear the burden of humiliation. With the birth of her younger siblings, Xiao Man's status in the family became lower and lower, becoming the object of everyone's hatred and bullying, and only when she was sick with fever and dying, her mother would hold her tightly in her arms, "She felt that she was held smaller, smaller and smaller, small enough to be reloaded into her mother's body, into her womb, where she returned to the furnace, and when she came out again, she had the same name as her younger siblings."
Therefore, she was eager to leave her family, and she used entering the army and entering the literary corps as a life-saving straw. Unfortunately, the new collective did not give her a sense of belonging. Here, she is a freak who loves to hide and eat, an outcast who smells of swill, and an outlier with dark and thick hair. In an environment of isolation and ridicule, it is Liu Feng who gives He Xiaoman support and respect, just as he supports and respects everyone. The feelings and dependence in Xiao Man's heart gradually sprouted, "Xiao Man once lived in the sea of disappointment, met the first island, and landed."
After "touching the door", she saw through the indifference and ugliness of the literary troupe, so she would rather pretend to be sick than dance anymore, and she was the only one who did not say bad things at Liu Feng's criticism meeting, and the only one who sent Liu Feng off.
The film "Fanghua" carries Feng Xiaogang's strong personal feelings, a kind of remembrance of the years of the former literary troupe, but also a remembrance of his youth, so the film presents the carnival of young men and women in the cultural troupe collective, singing and swimming, showing the sad parting and tears of the crowd when the cultural troupe disbanded, and even presents the fragment of He Xiaoman's solo dance under the moon that he took the initiative to add, intoxicated and beautiful.
But Yan Geling's You touched me is more of a calm reflection and repentance, and even a cold criticism. She described He Xiaoman's desolation and resistance in his stepfather's family, described Liu Feng's criticism and betrayal by everyone, described the unladylike and superficial scenery of Hao Shuwen and Lin Dingding, described the small soldiers who falsely reported their glorious age and enlisted in the army but were sent to the battlefield to die in a vacuum, described the prosperity and chaos of the SAR in the early days of reform and opening up, described Liu Feng's indifferent daughter who had been staring at her mobile phone at her funeral, and so on, so that after reading the original work, it was difficult for me to imagine that Yan Geling's novel could pass the review of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, because it was too cruel. Too destructive, too disillusioned.
But I still praise Feng Dao's "Fanghua", which still reflects Feng Xiaogang's consistent critical, ironic and slightly absurd entertainment, just like "1942" and "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", he is one of the leading figures of this generation of directors with personality and conscience. Now popular movies, such as "Hello, Li Huanying", although the box office is often billions, has achieved great commercial success, but some people even shout that Jia Ling has surpassed Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, which is really nonsense!
At the same time, I also praise Yan Geling, I believe that the writers who can write these works such as "Young Girl Xiaoyu", "Lu Criminals Yanzhi", "Jinling Thirteen Chao", "Fanghua" and so on, must also be a great woman with strong personality charm!
