"Music is not about joy or sorrow, it is all about the mood of the listener. The audience has entered the characters, the plot, so there will be a sense of depression. This is the creative team's interpretation of the "bitterness" of "Dear Little Child" on the audience.
As a family drama, "Dear Child" is indeed a little heavy, the heroine Has experienced betrayal, divorce, and serious illness of the child, so that she is confused about "why is it still after the storm", it seems that what happens at every important node of life is inexplicably depressed.
Love is the wind and snow of two people,
But marriage is the tit-for-tat confrontation between two families,
And children are the catalyst for marriage!
From the opening of the film, the woman's ever-changing micro-expressions explain everything, the foundation liquid covers up the colorful imperfections on the face, the stretch marks are imprinted on the stomach, the eyes reveal the helpless sadness, the tears are dried and then the joy of new motherhood is revealed. She is happy for her upcoming child, but also deeply uncomfortable with the upheaval in her body.
When the husband knows that his wife is in the hospital, but he is drinking and watching a ball game at home, this is a dereliction of duty as a husband; watching his wife's postpartum incontinence, after giving her excrement, repeatedly scrubbing his hands in the corridor, not saying anything but in his heart is extremely disgusted, the delivery room is the mirror of marriage! Then to the later derailment, which led to the fragmentation of the family, the contrasting shots in the play are even more creepy, and it is also rarely seen in domestic dramas with similar themes.
There is a famous scene in the play, which is a scene in which Fang Yinuo and Xiao Lu negotiate a divorce and divide the property. At the beginning, the two adhered to the attitude of getting together and dispersing to talk about "one person and half of the property", and when they counted the past "payment" to the family, from the beginning of one person to one sentence, to the high frequency of loud accusations, the once intimate couple did not even allow each other to finish the words. Until Fang Yinuo was emotional, he drove Xiao Lu out of the house, closed the door angrily, walked back and forth in the house to calm his emotions, and couldn't help but cover his face and cry. Fang Yinuo, who was finally paralyzed in the doorway, unconsciously waved his hands and pulled down the cabinet standing by the wall and smashed it on himself. This period of quarrel is full of tension, almost reproducing the vicious state of husband and wife quarrel in life. Those past events that have never been told, but have been calculating in their hearts, rush out of their mouths, and finally end up denigrating and slandering each other's dignity. In this five-minute scene, you will find that even if you have been in love, you may not really understand what the other person is thinking.
Sun Haoyang, the screenwriter of "Dear Child", said that he referred to the rhythm of "Marriage Story", "The closer people are, the more they know how to hurt you." As Nicole's lawyer in Marriage Story put it, "Criminal lawyers show the best side of bad people, divorce lawyers show people the worst side of good people." ”
When real life is brought to the stage, when we see ourselves in the eyes of others, what we get is not only anxiety, but also contemplation and awakening.
Life and suffering have hurt them one after another, and they have grown scales at the wounds, protecting their weakest places. As Zhang Ailing said, "If you know my past, you will forgive me now." ”
Some people complain that everyone is not easy at the moment, and this drama will be cruelly amplified, but this is the real society, a piece of sugar in the water, does not feel very sweet, a drop of vinegar dripping in the water, you will feel that it is very sour, happiness is always short-lived, but sad but will not be forgotten for a long time, why can't everyone look at it directly? It's not that this drama should amplify the suffering, I think it is already very gentle, at least the character family and parental affection in the play are not less!
For example, Xiao Mu is a typical low-level woman, she is kind and hardworking, but she has no culture, her personality is loud, she speaks loudly and atmospherically, and she is a little careful with her eyes and small calculations, loves to join in the fun, loves to play mahjong, and loves to smoke. She pulled the eldest two boys alone, and behind the suffering learned optimism, there was no expectation or demand for the child, but it also made her lack the necessary sense of scale. For example, entering the bedroom of the son and daughter-in-law does not know how to knock on the door, making up one's own mind to let the son and the daughter-in-law live separately, forcing the daughter-in-law to drink the pork belly soup of the milk, worrying that the baby is cold and wearing a lot of clothes for the baby... Later, because of the hilarity of playing mahjong, let the baby's stroller slide away, almost did not cause an accident.
But for her son, she has bowed her head as much as possible, after learning that Xiao Lu cheated and Fang Yinuo decided to divorce, exposed her kind nature, she beat her son, and took her son to his home to apologize, she came to say goodbye to her with her own hot sauce: "I am not here to persuade you to change your mind, blame myself for not educating my children." Yinuo, you have to think clearly, it will be very hard to take a child alone. "The shift in position, the expression of empathy between one mother and another, is powerful. Perhaps it is the reconciliation reached between people after these times have passed, so that people will not be completely disappointed in life.
Fang Yinuo's situation easily resonates with female audiences, and her pain is clear at a glance, from the body, psychology, and universal sociality. It's like "installing a camera in life", especially the fertility pain experienced by the same mother, and fang Yinuo can feel the strong female power in despair. Fang Yinuo is a daughter, a wife, a mother, and these social identities are magnified one by one after she became a mother, and she herself is compressed into infinitesimals. When the school offered to promote her to class teacher, she had to temporarily abandon her personal worth and serve more of the other three identities.
Real pregnant woman image,
Real production process,
The transformation of the real new mother,
And the real family trivialities bring about the oppression.
Every scene is the most authentic and heartfelt appearance of life!
