Don't know where to see the comments: a spoon means a fool.
In fact, "spoon" in the northwest dialect is the meaning of "fool", remember the first time to watch "a spoon", very surprised, in 2014 at the Golden Horse Awards "a spoon" stood out surprisingly, the best actor two trophies for best new director is more so that Chen Jianbin has been affirmed, chen Jianbin in his forties is already a successful actor in the industry, "A Spoon" as his debut, but also his first appearance as a director.
"A Spoon" is based on Hu Xuewen's novel "Running Moonlight", focusing on the small towns in the northwest countryside, not only retaining the northwest dialect, but also reflecting the local lifestyle and the natural environment of the northwest, and more importantly, the film reflects the real social survival appearance of China's marginal areas, and presents the unknown truth and ruggedness to the audience.
The key point of the northwest countryside, as an important regional feature, is also related to the experience of director Chen Jianbin, who is very familiar with rural life, so many details of the film can be based on his real experience. Chen Jianbin dedicated the first work he directed to his familiar apprentice, which is also an unknown romance.
The film revolves around "Who's the Fool?" The problem unfolded, the honest peasant pulled the strip in the town gave the homeless man a steamed bun, was wrapped in the spoon and returned home, for the spoon that could not go, the spoon could not be driven away, the strip could not survive the conscience, decided to take the spoon with his wife Jin Zhizi, but the family of the strip was not rich, and the honest man grabbed the bribe-taking big brother to return the money for the sake of his son's imprisonment and commutation, while helping the spoon to find a new home.
Spoon wrapped around the pull strip, pull the strip wrapped around the big head brother, in the eyes of the big head brother, the pull strip is a "fool", because the pull the stick begged the big head brother to help find someone to reduce the sentence of his son, the original said fifty thousand yuan to reduce the sentence for a year, but the money was handed over to the son did not reduce the sentence, the pull strip wrapped around the big head brother wanted to recover a little money, the big head brother also repeatedly told him that the money was handed over and things may not be done!
Rastizi was originally an ordinary farmer, with a kind and simple nature, and did not do anything bad, but in the real world, he became a "fool" and was entangled by another fool, which is the black absurd drama in reality.
After asking for help from the village chief and the police station, no one took the spoon, and there was no way to pull the note on the street to paste the "trick revelation", just like this, and since then it has jumped into the trouble pile...
There were several groups of people coming to claim the spoon, and everyone was right, making the puller overwhelmed.
"What good can a fool do?" This problem plagued the noodles for a long time, and then the main thought of the noodles also changed from the fifty thousand yuan cheated by the big head brother to the entangled village chief, the police, the big head brother and other smart people, he wanted to know why the spoon that was originally disliked suddenly became "fragrant food", but the matter still did not make sense, and finally the person who impersonated the spoon was no longer red shore, the son also inexplicably reduced his sentence, and the money for the gift was also returned, but the whole person who pulled the stick was not good, because he was confused and put on the spoon hat. He became the "fool" in the crowd who everyone had to say something.
Smart people use fools to pursue profits, while fools can only accept this reality, and the third brother in the film has a line: "Life is like this." Vaguely conveying the survival wisdom of reality to the puller, but the puller did not understand what life was like until the end, and the sun hat he had worn before putting on the spoon was against the crowd and was surrounded by a group of children, the shot was full of irony.
Children are not yet in the society of the group, but they know to attack the "fool", then the use of fools by adults is not surprising, "fools are not enough" Behind the reality of the problem is the director's reflection on the entire society, because the fool lacks the ability of normal people to live and understand the social life, and is regarded as a useless person.
Therefore, it will be defined as "fool", fool means vulnerable, poor, powerless, honest and simple, the movie "A Spoon" directly faces the dark side of human nature in reality, and completes the criticism of reality through the confrontation between fools and smart people.
In the process of saving the spoon, the puller is constantly frustrated, almost encountering the doubts of everyone around him, and even the wife who has always supported him has erupted because of the harassment of the liar, and the identity of the puller is constantly destroyed, from the initial self-identity of the "good person who is kind to save the spoon" to "the stubborn spoon".
The film is filmed in the northwest, the film does not shy away from the poor mountains and bad waters, wild sand and yellow land there, Chen Jianbin used his own lens to retain the original life texture of the northwest. The living state of the stripe and the golden branch is the true portrayal of the closed group in rural China, the couple unconsciously away from the crowd, their one-way living habits conceal the reality of the rural isolation, when the closed world of the two people is opened by the "spoon", the influx of material and spiritual impact has brought them devastating damage, the questioning and bitterness of the strip, it is the most direct manifestation of this harm, he found that "people are good to be bullied, Ma Shan is ridden" This truth is the result of kindness to him. In addition to a series of troubles, only the daughter-in-law's complaints and the ridicule of the people around her!
The name "Pulling Sticks" is a kind of noodle in the northwest, which has been kneaded and kneaded with toughness, symbolizing the ordinary people who are as honest, responsible, kind, and even a little "axis" as the pulling strips played by Chen Jianbin in the film.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > absurd, black humor</h1>
Chen Jianbin, who has a background as a theater actor, is influenced by drama, and the film has a strong absurd atmosphere, which can be said to be a good reference to the European and American absurdist theater tradition, he is facing a more absurd world with an absurd attitude, and behind the black humor is often hidden pain and misfortune, the film has been in an unknown fear, although there are also laughs in the film, but the film is also pushing the so-called laughter points to the extreme.
"A Spoon" is like laughing and telling a tragedy, in order to become a better self, people will leave some things as they walk, look back and find that these things may never be found again, some funny plots imply the helplessness of life, and the absurdity of drama actually comes from more absurd reality...
In the black humor of A Spoon, the protagonist is everyone in real life.
