Editor-in-charge| Towards the evening

As a niche movie, "Goodbye, Li Kele" can be regarded as a small hit in December this year. 

not only won the box office of 12 million on the first day of release, but also earned enough word-of-mouth and tears from the audience. 

Among them, the acting skills of the leading actors Yan Ni and Tan Songyun are also highly praised, and Wu Jing is a special star, although there are few scenes, he is not only an actor, but also a producer and producer.

Therefore, even if "Goodbye, Li Kele" has shortcomings, the overall quality is still guaranteed. 

 "Goodbye, Li Kele" is adapted from the novel "Dad is a "Dog"", it is worth mentioning that the original author of the novel, Wang Xiaolie, is also the director of this movie, and he was also the director of photography of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Although this film is based on dogs, it is not only about the feelings between humans and animals, but also about the growth story of dogs as a medium to convey family affection and say goodbye for the second time. 

01, the father died unexpectedly, and the mother and daughter "turned against each other"

Li Yan originally lived in a happy family, her father Li Boyu (played by Wu Jing) is a skewer shop owner, and her mother Pan Yanqiu (played by Yan Ni) is a teacher. 

But the happy days came to an abrupt end when she was 18 years old. 

In order to satisfy his daughter's wish, Li Boyu took Li Yan to ski, but there was an accident in the process of skiing, and in order to save his daughter, Li Boyu fell off the cliff. 

After all-out rescue, the doctor regretfully said that if he continued to rescue, the final result was not optimistic, and his wife Pan Yanqiu was in a dilemma.

The high rescue fee has already emptied the family's savings, and continuing to rescue is tantamount to forcing himself and his daughter into a desperate situation. 

On one side is reality, and on the other side is emotion.

In the end, after a fierce ideological struggle, Pan Yanqiu made a difficult decision to give up and continue rescue treatment. 

This decision also brought her relationship with her daughter Li Yan to a freezing point.

Li Yan wept bitterly and objected hoarsely, but to no avail, and finally Pan Yanqiu signed a confirmation letter of extubation.

Li Yan couldn't accept and understand her mother's cruel decision, and this matter was like a thorn in the hearts of the mother and daughter. 

On the day of the cancellation of Li Boyu's household register, a puppy escaped from the pet store and broke into Li Yan's life.

And the appearance of this puppy also gradually eased the relationship between Li Yan and her mother, and Li Yan named it Li Kele.

Li Kele's arrival seemed to be a sign, and she felt a picture similar to her father from some of Li Kele's behaviors. 

With Li Kele's company, Li Yan's gloomy world began to brighten, and gradually a smile began to appear on her face, and she also regained the vitality of a high school student.

Li Kele has become more and more important in this family, becoming an indispensable "relative" of their family, and shouldering the responsibility of "taking care" of Li Yan and her mother.

It rained heavily, the skewer shop was flooded, Li Yan and her mother were almost electrocuted, and it was Li Kele who turned off the electric gate in time to relieve the danger;

The skewer shop tasted bad, resulting in the loss of a large number of customers, and it was Li Kele who deliberately knocked the cola into the soup base to bring the skewer shop back to life...... 

Li Kele invisibly took on the responsibility of Li Boyu, so that Li Yan and Pan Yanqiu can still feel that Li Boyu is always by their side in their daily lives.

Although the memories are painful, they are also very beautiful, and in the memories over and over again, the image of the father is not far away, but becomes clearer and clearer. In the process of getting to know her father again, Li Yan gradually came out of the pain of losing her father. 

At the moment when Li Kele and Li Yan met at the wedding scene, Li Yan suddenly understood.

Coke is the best gift that Dad gave him, although Dad can't accompany him, but his love has never disappeared.

But what really made Li Yan let go of all the mustard was Li Kele's departure. 

Li Kele, who once brought infinite happiness and spiritual support to Li Yan, unfortunately suffered from cancer.

Facing Li Kele, who was suffering from a terminal illness, whether to accompany it through the last time or let it be happy without pain, Li Yan wavered.

She wanted to accompany Li Kele through the end of her life, but she couldn't bear to watch it endure painful torture. Between the two dilemmas, she finally realized the difficult choice of her mother Pan Yanqiu in the hospital.

This time, Li Yan did not let Pan Yanqiu sign the agreement of An Le S, but took the initiative to take on this responsibility.

At the moment of signing, she finally understood the pain of her mother's cupping back then.

The moment she put pen to paper, she grew up almost overnight and understood what love was. 

Love is not selfish possession, but fulfillment, and love is not stubbornly possessed, but let go.

went to Wu Jing and Yanni, but was amazed by Tan Songyun's acting skills

In the first promotional video, many people went to Wu Jing, but after watching the whole movie, they were amazed by Yan Ni and Tan Songyun's acting skills.

Although Yan Ni is a well-known actor to the public, she is mainly active in the field of TV dramas, and it can be said that she is still a newcomer to acting in movies.

But in the movie, her acting skills were unanimously praised by the audience. 

She performed in disbelief when faced with the news of her husband's sudden distress and the painful contradiction when making a difficult decision to extubate. 

Especially in the scene where she chased the dog dealer, she vividly expressed her worried and angry emotions, which can be called the highlight moment of the whole film.

In the scene with Tan Songyun, she fully presented the image of a mother's forbearance and having to be strong. 

It can be said that the attempt at the movie opened a new door for Yan Ni, and Tan Songyun, who played opposite her, was also very surprising in her performance in this play.

As a post-90s flower, Tan Songyun's acting career has always been dominated by idol drama girls, which is also very in line with her appearance conditions.

But the 33-year-old Tan Songyun played a high school student, which also made many netizens question that she was "pretending to be tender", but Tan Songyun's performance in the film made them slap in the face. 

It turns out that even if she is 33 years old, Tan Songyun plays a high school student. At the beginning of the movie, she stood up for the youthful and lively character image of a high school student. 

With a baby-faced appearance and a suitable costume, what we see from her is a female high school student with a sense of immaturity and youthfulness. 

The appearance and character design are highly matched, Tan Songyun's acting skills are not crotch at all, and Li Yan's character image is three-dimensional and vivid, which impresses the audience. 

Li Yan's eyes in high school were full of innocence and girlish innocence and romance. In the father-daughter interaction with Wu Jing, she vividly expressed the cuteness and innocence of a little daughter; 

And when her father knew that she was dying because of an accident, she vividly expressed Li Yan's pain, self-blame, and fear; 

When the mother decided to extubate, she cried and shouted and quarreled with her mother, showing the helplessness and despair of a daughter who could not bear the mother's abandonment of her father's life...... 

Tan Songyun's performance is not the same, but according to the emotional changes of the characters, the psychology and characteristics of the characters at each stage are appropriately shaped.

It is precisely because of this that we see a three-dimensional and vivid Li Yan.

After watching "Goodbye, Li Kele", many people left a message:

"At first, I went to watch a movie for Wu Jing and Yan Ni, but it turned out to be a fan of Tan Songyun. ” 

Tan Songyun's fame is among the 90 flowers, although she is not top-notch, but her acting career is particularly stable.

I believe that if it continues, Tan Songyun will definitely develop better and better.

My family can only walk with us for a while, and we have to walk the rest on our own

When I watched the promotional video, I thought that "Goodbye, Li Kele" was a story about people and dogs.

But after watching the movie, I realized that it was a story of a second farewell. 

The father was in danger because he took his daughter to skiing.

After the doctor decided that there was little point in rescuing, the mother, who could no longer afford the expensive medical expenses, finally chose to extubate and give up her husband's life.

The mother's decision was opposed by her daughter, but in the end it was impossible to avoid changing the outcome.

This incident has become a knot in the hearts of the mother and daughter, and this movie is about the process of untying the knot.

In this story, Lee Yeon is a high school student who has no contact with society, and in her life, her father plays a vital role in her upbringing and is the most important person in her life. 

In her impression, the relationship between her parents has always been loving, and she can't understand or agree with her mother's decision.

So she strongly opposes giving up the rescue, even if there is only 1% hope, even if the family is bankrupt, she wants to give it a try.

The world of children is only about feelings, but for adults, there is also a reality to face in addition to feelings.

So when Pan Yanqiu knew that her husband Li Boyu had little hope of being rescued, she chose to give up.

Because she is not only a wife, but also a mother. She has to think about her child's future.

Therefore, even though she knew that her daughter would complain and hate her, she resolutely made the decision to give up treatment. 

The truth is indeed as she expected, her daughter Li Yan did not understand her concerns as a mother, and the relationship between mother and daughter also had an unsolvable knot because of this matter.

Luckily, their relationship began to change with the arrival of the dog, Lee Cole.

But the process is long and painful.

In this process, in the face of her daughter's complaints and incomprehension, Pan Yanqiu chose to use time to change everything, because she knew that if she wanted to change her daughter's mind, it was not something that could be done overnight. 

waited until Li Yan grew up, and it wasn't until Coke was old and sick that she had to be at ease, that Li Yan finally realized the mood of her mother when she was extubated.

It was also at this moment that she completely forgave her mother and reconciled with her mother in the bottom of her heart.

The death of his father was the beginning of the conflict, and Cola's death due to illness resolved the conflict between him and his mother.

Before Coke died, in order to attend Li Yan's wedding, it pulled out the needle by itself, which also hinted at the original father's decision, and he didn't want to drag down their mother and daughter. 

If he was sober, he would definitely make the same decision as his mother.

At the end of the movie, Lee Yeon finally musters up the courage to start skiing again.

While skiing, he saw his father and Coke waving at him, waving to say hello and farewell. 

In Chinese-style family education, death education has always been absent, but death can happen at any time.

Family members can't accompany us for a lifetime, they can only accompany us through a part of life.

And when this journey is over, we will have to do the rest on our own.
