Leung Ka Fai Ye Tong's movie "I Love You": Life's greatest suffering, only love can surpass
There is no negative emotion that I love you that cannot be cured. If there is, say it again. - "I Love You"
How good is it for Leung Ka Fai, Hui Yinghong, Ye Tong, and Ni Dahong to act together?
The beauty gave a four-word evaluation: beyond expectations.
The part of Ni Dahong's "joy and funeral" whip circulating on the Internet is far from the pinnacle of the four old drama bones.
If the 60-year-old grandmother played by Hui Yinghong can be heartwarming, Leung Ka Fai let people substitute for the "ragged old man" in the park in front of his house in a second... Then Ye Tong is simply unbelievable, she is performing!
After watching this tidbits that hurt to the bruises and sweat on his face, netizens were moved:
"I can't help myself just looking at the tidbits, and I cry a lot."
"They, actors, are acting with their lives, souls..."
The four starring actors of this movie: Leung Ka-fai 66 years old, Ni Dahong, Hui Yinghong 64 years old, Ye Tong 61 years old... Using four 60+ old drama bones to focus on a movie is a bold decisive stroke for director Han Yan.
However, what I admire most about this movie is its theme -
It should be the first film to focus on "how low-income seniors face illness and death as they enter the end of their lives."
In response to these "old people with skin full of spots and wrinkles, skinny, various diseases, and regarded as waste by their children", the director still talked seriously about their love.
Their hard work and pure love for each other is enough to deafen the young people of today.
If I am "always a warning", I also love "Li Huiru"
Chang Weijie, played by Ni Dahong, and Li Huiru, played by Hui Yinghong, represent the elderly in today's society in the two realities of "ice and fire".
Often the ring is ice.
The material is carefree, the spiritual life is also moist, it can be said that there are children and grandchildren who are cared for and have a pension... If there is a fly in the ointment, it is idle and boring - this old head is loaded with the heroic dream of "walking the rivers and lakes with a sword" all day long.
If it weren't for Li Huiru, who was "idle" in the park that day, bullying and picking up rags, he and Brother Shan (played by Leung Ka Fai) and sister-in-law (played by Ye Tong) would not have intersected at all.
Li Huiru is "fire" - she has always lived in the depths of water, and she also feels the depths of others.
She has always lived at the bottom of society, surrounded by either mentally ill patients such as Qiu Meiling who have been abandoned by society, or "rag-picking alliances" like Brother Shan.
Li Huiru is "a gentleman who is poor" and has always helped and comforted everyone: Teacher Qiu helped her, and she was willing to be a nanny for her and take care of her food and living. Brother Shan helped her collect the rags, and she helped take care of her sister-in-law who suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Although Li Huiru lived poorly, she was full, hard, and had a clear conscience. Therefore, when Chang Weiwei, who has a superior life, comes to bully her, she is not afraid at all, and resolutely fights with this "upper-class" old man who is "well fed".
Coming and going, Chang Weijie fell in love with Li Huiru.
The two staged the ultimate romance of twilight love:
He wrote her small notes, secretly watching her read the small notes, and smiled like a flower.
She sewed him pants... At that time, her birds flew in the house, which was a rare fairy spirit in the city.
He joined her garbage collection and threw paper shells and plastic bottles into his pickup truck.
He took her to the zoo and told her that the monkey with the reddest ass was called "Concubine Laugh"...
Chang Weijie likes Li Huiru's stubbornness, strength and beauty, and often guards the fiery and "naughty" look, which also makes Li Huiru's life full of life.
Who believes that this love VLOG of the elderly was read by me with an "aunt smile" throughout the process.
Director, you understand romance...
Brother Shan and Sister-in-law: Different lives, willing to die together
Taking care of a wife with mental and physical illnesses for decades, Brother Shan also has complaints. He said:
"Alzheimer's disease and bowel cancer, one disease is fatal! God didn't know what she had to do. ”
However, Brother Shan's complaint is not against Sister-in-law, but for God's injustice to Sister-in-law.
The pain of bowel cancer will occasionally wake up the mountain sister-in-law. Once sober, she said to Brother Shan: "Husband, send me away." ”
……
The mountain sister-in-law played by Ye Tong appeared for the first time (because she fell off the sofa because she picked up a light bulb), and I thought they were widows without children and daughters. Because --
They live in "slums" and call "dilapidated factories" their home.
The sister-in-law's illness was not mild or short, not only did she rarely go to the hospital, she had no nanny and nurse, and no children to take care of.
Brother Shan's old dragon bell (should be past the ancient), and he is still self-reliant, collecting rags and exchanging money to get by. He wears rags, cooks and washes dishes by himself, the phone is always called by Li Huiru, and no one else looks for him...
But when I saw the back, I knew that Brother Shan had such excellent children!
The eldest brother presides over the listed company, the second brother does business, only the youngest daughter has a worse life, marries a gambler, and is often subjected to domestic violence.
And the reason why Brother Shan's sister-in-law earns a lot, but is so poor, is because for many years, they have been secretly stuffing the money from selling rags to their youngest daughter, so as not to be humiliated.
The other two older brothers thought that their father was biased, and for this reason, they rarely visited their parents.
"It shouldn't be given, this is aiding and abetting abuse!"
Chang Weijie said so when he saw his little daughter come to ask her parents for money, but Brother Shan just smiled and waved his hand.
Huiru also expressed her dissatisfaction:
"Have you all walked to the door, and you don't look at your mother?"
The first time he saw Brother Shan's sister-in-law reuniting with his children was after Brother Shan knew that his sister-in-law had advanced bowel cancer - he bought sleeping pills and decided not to drag his children down and "go" with his sister-in-law.
Before that, he held a "family banquet".
At the banquet, the children could not concentrate and were busy with their own work and daily chores. Brother Shan's children's gifts grandchildren don't bother to play at all, pick them up and see, their parents have to quickly spray disinfectant (grandpa's house is a broken factory after all).
Brother Shan did not even have the ability to let his children listen carefully to his "toast", so he could only say to the children with pleasantries:
"No matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your health..."
(How ironic!) In this paragraph, Leung Ka-fai really played the misery of "people lose their right to speak and dignity in front of their children when they are old" into the marrow).
Finally, the "gathering" ended, and the most important "ceremony" for the life of Shan Geshan Sister-in-law began.
Brother Shan choked with the medicine: Wife, you have worked hard in this life.
Sister-in-law: Husband, why are you crying?
Brother Shan: "Because I like you!" ”
The sister-in-law seemed to be suddenly sober, she took the medicine and drank it happily: "Husband, thank you." ”
After the two were liberated, Chang Weijie and Li Huiru received their suicide note:
"Please tear off the rubber strip (the second elder is a sleeping pill + gas poisoning suicide), I am worried that this will affect the reputation of my children..."
The extreme suffering of life can only be surpassed by love
It is precisely because he often knows the truth of the death of Brother Shan's sister-in-law that at the end of the film, he will "throw the whip and make a big fuss".
Originally, Chang Lao wanted to fulfill Brother Shan's last wish and didn't say anything. However, this "wedding banquet" was so luxurious and grand, and Brother Shan's children so shamelessly amassed wealth with the death of the second elder!
When Brother Shan's sister-in-law was alive, why did the children invite them to such a good meal?
So, when the second son said unashamedly, "What is a wedding banquet?" I think that if the elderly do not have disease, pain is joy and mourning", Chang Weijie finally couldn't bear it. He cursed:
"What is joy and mourning? Is it joy and mourning not to let you serve, not to cause you trouble? Your father and your mother have never eaten such a good meal in their lives? Do you really think their deaths were accidental? That's for you to keep a face! ”
This old man, who has always dreamed of "eliminating violence and safety", finally played the most handsome "holding grievances" once.
He swung his whip, knocked over the feast, knocked away the guests, and knelt down the unfilial children!
"Kirin whip, security liang. Punish evil and promote good and fame!
The first three whips, the fight is the revenge of the white-eyed wolf, and the sharp word is the head of the conscience!
The last three whips, beating no heart, no liver and no filial piety, growing up and forgetting his father's mother.
Repeatedly whipped, hit the false affection and false intention to set up the archway, the face is intimate and the stomach is cold. ”
To be honest, this is the best play I have ever seen Ni Dahong.
Later, the children knelt down for "Uncle Chang". It's a pity that this kneeling is not necessarily a confession of Brother Shan's sister-in-law, but a plea to Uncle Chang not to publish the truth to the world...
There is so much suffering in this world.
The suffering of Shan's sister-in-law is that the children who have worked hard to raise all their lives are white-eyed wolves, and they can only die if they are tormented by illness. - Suffering and sickness.
The suffering that is often taken care of is the regret that the wife did not take proper care of when she was alive, leaving a lifetime of regret - love parting.
Li Huiru's suffering is that "Sister-in-law Aqing" ushered in true love at the age of 60 but did not dare to accept it - suffering yin.
Teacher Qiu's suffering lies in not being able to bear to give up the best experience in his life, preferring to be trapped in the past - unable to let go.
Dean Chen's suffering lies in falling in love with someone, longing to spend his life with him, and being untolerated by the world - unwanted.
These sufferings seem to be inevitable in life, and the world and society have their "inevitable" rules.
It's as if Chang Weijie helped the park ranger, but in the end no one gave him face, and he was still forbidden to throw the whip in the park.
It was as if Li Huiru relied on fighting with the community and temporarily defended Teacher Qiu's bird, but in the end, the neighbors who reported it finally thought of a way to clear the bird...
Fortunately, at the end of the film, Chang Weiwei still transcends these rules and sufferings in some way.
With the forbidden unicorn whip pinned to his waist, he ran to the old village to find Li Huiru and said to her:
"I love you".
At this time, a bird that slipped through the net flew out of the cage of the city tube building, flew over the countryside field, and accompanied the couple...
This somewhat mysterious ending can be called the eye of the movie "I Love You": in addition to the hardships of life, if there is freedom, it must be the power of love.
Only love can transcend all time, space and rules, and let people find eternity.
