The hit drama "Dear Child" Douban opened a score, unsurprisingly on the 8 points.
Some time ago, it was named "criticized" by the official website as selling anxiety, and people who really watched it were exclaiming: realism. While cursing the domestic drama is vain, and at the same time, you dare not face the reality of life, what do you want the domestic drama to do?
The cast of the show is quite strong, without a single water actor. Ren Suxi, who plays the heroine, can be regarded as the ceiling of the acting skills of actresses of the same type, and Qin Hao, who plays her husband, has several works of fire, and his acting skills are beyond doubt. Hu Kun, the screenwriter and director of this drama, was once the script planner of "The Hidden Corner".
"Dear Child" is based on the 2008 film "Left and Right", for which director Wang Xiaoshuai won the Best Screenplay Award at the 58th Berlin Film Festival. The film is based on the true story, a divorced middle-aged couple has reorganized their families, because their daughter is suffering from leukemia, after the failure of artificial insemination, they have to consider having another child in the same bed, using umbilical cord blood to treat their dying daughter.
Stills from the movie "Left and Right"
The first half of the adaptation of "Dear Little Kids" is almost a completely new story, which uses more details to shape the characters and the Chinese-style family environment in which they live. Compared with the somewhat dramatic story of the second half, these details in the first half are even more desperate, even suffocating, because it is so real that many people call out to unmarried and childless people not to watch.
The first shot of "Dear Child" is when Fang Yinuo, played by Ren Suxi, appears in the shot, wearing delicate makeup. Then she began to remove her makeup, gradually revealing her true appearance: rough skin, melasma, and a tired face, just like many people's makeup before and after makeup. Finally, the woman of the domestic drama will not wear a refined mask that is welded to the face in 24 hours of 24k pure gold.
The next scene is even more shocking, fading her clothes and revealing a huge pregnant belly in front of the mirror, with shocking purple stretch marks, and a distinct black line, as if splitting her body in half. She touched her stomach, and instead of smiling sweetly and happily, she was about to cry, with a complicated expression on her face.
To tell the truth, this paragraph is a depiction that has never been seen in domestic dramas. Since childhood, we watch domestic dramas, the lights off mean the same room, and then in a few days casually spit two bites is pregnant, and then a few days casually stuffed a pillow began to play pregnant women, to childbirth, as long as tearing the heart and lungs shouted a few times, the child was born, after giving birth immediately to restore the slim figure. So for a long time, in the minds of boys and girls, that's all. What's the big deal about having a baby, isn't it like going to a vegetable market and buying vegetables?
"Dear Child" shows what a relatively real pregnant woman looks like, which is not beautiful at all. Does she have the joy of being a new mother in her heart? Definitely. But why are you crying? Faced with her body a little out of control, she was overwhelmed.
Just as many people don't know, pregnant women will urinate frequently, and poor postpartum pelvic floor muscle contraction may leak urine for life. In the play, Yinuo is close to the due date, and the fetus has severely oppressed her spine, making it impossible for her to fall asleep in any position in bed, so she has to lean half on the sofa and rest in a daze.
After Yinuo came out of the delivery room, she experienced the most humiliating moment of her life - she was incontinent in front of her husband. As a sound adult and a decent middle school teacher in society, Yinuo's heart is broken at this moment. And The husband Xiao Pave, played by Qin Hao, is also broken, overwhelmed and disgusted by this scene.
The postpartum heroine Yinuo did not see a single relative after coming out of the delivery room.
After she was pushed into the ward, everyone circled around the child, and no one noticed that she wanted to reach for water to drink, until her own mother hurried back to hand her water.
After returning home from the hospital, Yinuo fed her daughter half a day's milk, and her husband Xiao Lu slept like a dead pig on the side, and she shouted "Husband, pour me a glass of water" without any response. At this time, it was The sister-in-law played by Liu Lin who quietly came in to bring her a glass of water, and she was instantly touched and cried with grievance.
But is Xiao Lu a bad man? Not necessarily. Like many men, he was a boy who hadn't learned what "responsibility" was. Putting him in the workplace may be a good person, in the eyes of friends, maybe he is not bad, but in the family, he is not ready for anything.
He was immature and thin mud between his mother, mother-in-law, and wife, did not learn how to communicate, and finally chose to escape like many men. And Yinuo also after not getting attention and love, in the plight of family and parenting step by step to nervous, anxious and sensitive, emotional instability, in short, the performance of men will be evaluated as "neurotic" kind of woman.
As mentioned earlier, the story is based on true events, but has been criticized for selling anxiety. If we look at the real story, we will find that the TV series still beautifies everything, how to amplify the contradiction and sell anxiety?
The mother who insisted on saving the child did not meet the good husband of the second marriage, after the divorce, the sick eldest son followed the mother, the healthy second son followed the father, and the mother raised the sick eldest son alone, without money. Unfortunately, because the second son was too young to undergo bone marrow transplantation, and the three-child matching type given by the ex-husband was not successful, the prototype ultimately failed to save the eldest son, and the ex-husband no longer raised the second son and did not accept the third son, and all the children were raised by the mother.
In the TV series, there is no financial problem, the heroine has her own career and has the support of her family. What is even more rare is that she met her second husband who was responsible, loved her, and regarded her stepdaughter as her biological daughter. Although his ex-husband Xiao Lu cheated on Xiao San and did not care about his wife, he was at least willing to participate in taking care of his sick daughter after the divorce.
Just as previous TV series glorified the process of pregnancy and childbirth, some of the spikes of reality have finally been smoothed out by artistry. In reality, there are many ordinary and ordinary women, trapped in the cracks between family and parenting, living a difficult life, and forgetting their original existence.
No wonder netizens will say, unmarried and childless don't look. But, without looking, doesn't it exist? Before being urged to marry, women need to be "educated" to choose knowingly and preparedly.
