——Fortunately, I received an invitation from @Toutiao Entertainment, and Qingshi Film was fortunate to watch this much-anticipated film at the Shanghai International Film Festival as the first wave of invited media for Hu Ge's new film "It's Not a Trip".
Coincidentally, before watching the film, Bluestone rode a shared bicycle under the scorching sun, and finally arrived 5 minutes before the opening. Sweat profusely into the cinema.
Unexpectedly, in the movie, he was also hit hard in the heart by Hu Ge riding a bicycle.
After seeing it, I want to ride a bicycle again and shout:
It's worth the trip!
Liu Jiayin, the director of "It's Not Worth the Trip", is a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy and won the Berlin Film Festival Film Critics Award for "Cowhide" in 05, and is a director full of imagination.
Of course, the cast of this film is even more amazing, and Hu Ge Wu Lei's second cooperation after "Langya List" will become a topic of interest for many fans.
In addition, there are other supporting roles, Qi Xi Baike Huang Lei, each of them is a powerful person, and the producer Cao Baoping has a sharp style and a unique perspective, and is a well-known director with an international reputation.
If you didn't specifically understand this movie, many people probably wouldn't have imagined that a movie with such a strong lineup turned out to be a "soft wind and drizzle" literary film, soft enough to have the realm of "moisturizing and silent".
Its theme is very special, telling the story of Hu Ge's "professional grade ten eulogist" who broke the self-shackles and walked towards a new life after facing death after death.
After watching the movie, Bluestone's mood is extremely complicated, because this movie is too gripping.
Death is a topic that most people are unwilling to face and talk about, but in a funeral home, death is a daily thing.
The male protagonist was originally a famous school screenwriter, but he accidentally became a professional eulogist, so he needed to often appear in funeral homes, often face death, and chat with his deceased family about various "past stories".
Facing death has become a daily routine, and thinking about death has also become a daily routine.
Aunt Fang, who I often meet, booked the service of the eulogy early, but became an anti-cancer Internet celebrity, death is imminent, but her home is full of life;
Uncle Wang, played by Huang Lei, did not make him realize his regrets until his father's death; a lawyer who likes voice acting, but eventually becomes a regret because his interest is lost;
The sudden death of the basement CEO, it seems so ordinary, it turns out to be the spiritual pillar of everyone unknowingly, but no one will know which will come first tomorrow or accident.
For a person whose heart is like a dead gray and cocooned himself, realize that "accept the ordinary, accept your own inadequacies, live in the moment, and leave no regrets." ”
It will be like seeing light in the dark, like returning to the surface after a long time under the water, greedily breathing fresh air.
Therefore, "It's Not Worth the Trip" is actually not lost at all, but full of healing atmosphere, which looks bleak on the surface, but is actually full of sunny life.
In fact, "It's Worth the Trip" is like a train trying to climb a mountain in the dark, at each stop someone will get on the train, someone will get off, everyone you meet is actually a leader, and when you climb to the top of the mountain, you will be instantly enlightened, like a new life.
Hu Ge and Wu Lei once again played an inseparable "brother", after 8 years, the two reunited under the camera, which will make many fans feel a lot.
Wu Lei's acting skills have improved a lot, and he began to know how to press and act;
Hu Ge is less strategizing calmness than "Mei Changsu", and more simple in the world, and he knows more and more how to master the emotions of "Shen".
Huang Lei Qixi's performance is as stable as ever, Baike's role is very fun, handsome and banditry coexist, like the poisonous tongue representative specially added by the director, it can always come out with the finishing touch, becoming an unforgettable bright color in the movie.
Overall, "It's Not Worth the Trip" uses a simple technique to conduct a gentle and heart-warming examination and reflection on the life and life of Chinese.
For us, in the current impetuous utilitarian and overly fast-food in everything, having such an ingenious and sincere and simple movie can be regarded as a great luck in Chinese movies in 2023.
Here, Bluestone especially wants to say a word:
It is really worth the trip to see such a film at the Shanghai Film Festival. #Shanghai International Film Festival ##上头条看鉴上影节 #
