Preface
The movie "Charlotte's Troubles" must have been seen by many people, and many people only think that it is a "comedy movie" after watching the movie, and if you really think so, the deviation is a bit big.
I watched this work a second time with anticipation.,Found a different meaning in it.,After reading it, the whole person feels bad.,What is this "anti-heaven idea?"
So what kind of values did this work produce that would make people so disappointed in it?
Charlotte's "Distorted Three Views"
First of all, let's talk about the problems at the beginning of the movie, in order to make up for the "regrets" left by her youth, Charlotte chose to use her wife's money to "put on a façade" for herself. ”
Remember the "point" mentioned above - "window dressing" is spent on the wife's money, and there is one of the three "distorted" views in Charlotte's troubles.
A big man is not doing it properly after getting married.,Twenty years of hard work by his wife.,This can be said to be very bad.,The first time I watched it, I felt funny.,The second time I brush it, I don't think so.。
Here we don't mean to say that a man has to support a family or something, at least don't burden the family, that's right, and what about Charlotte? There is such a good wife in the family who doesn't know how to cherish it, so she has to participate in other people's weddings.
Even in order to "pretend" at the wedding of his favorite goddess, he took the money earned by his wife Xin to rent a dress, which was really shocking.
And when a normal woman sees Xia Luo doing this, I'm afraid she will throw him two ear scrapers on the spot, and then go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau at the same time, but what did Ma Dongmei do in the movie?
Not only did she not get angry with Charlotte, but she was also unconditionally "tolerant" of him, always understanding and tolerant.
Secondly, this is Qiu Ya's wedding, you are an outsider making a fuss at other people's weddings, what kind of logic is this, originally the protagonists of this wedding were Qiu Ya and a rich businessman, who would have thought that it would become a farce of your Xia Luo family, and others dare not say him.
There is also a shocking point of view: that is, why does Qiu Ya want to marry you Charlotte?
Everyone is an adult, so Qiu Ya can't choose her own happiness and marry the life she wants?How does Xia Luo know that Qiu Ya is unwilling, how does he know that Qiu Ya is unhappy?
This point is purely Charlotte's own "conjecture": the school girl can only marry herself, and marrying someone else is unhappy.
The point of view here is really helpless, and later Ma Dongmei gave Xia Luo a "step", but Xia Luo was unwilling to "go down", what kind of idea is this?
may be in the movie, the poem written by Yuan Hua to Xia Luo is more in line with his overall description: going to the banquet alone in chicken feather costumes, all classmates pretending to be chicken feathers.
It can be said that the description of Charlotte in these two poems is extremely apt, which contains full of irony, combined with Yuan Hua's previous sentence: "My poems are all critical", and the meaning he wants to express is very clear.
Xia Luo can be said to have lost face here, made a big fuss at other people's wedding banquets, and he was drunk, his classmates wrote poems to criticize him, teachers and classmates laughed at him, and even his wife, who had been pampering himself, was a little angry.
From this point of view, Charlotte is a proper "giant baby", to be honest, if this kind of man is put in reality, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get a wife, but this is just a movie after all, and the movie must "dare to think and dare to do." ”
"The Dream of a Giant Baby"
Charlotte suddenly realized that she was a little "drunk gaffe", and then ran to the bathroom to wash her face, who would have thought that Charlotte's "highlight moment" it came.
After washing his face, Charlotte traveled directly to his high school days, which is simply God's "love" for a Charlotte who has thirty or forty years of experience. ”
After all, in the twenty years since graduation, Charlotte knows everything that has happened, and it can be said that it is not difficult for him to get rich at all.
However, Xia Luo, who had just "crossed" over, may not be a little uncomfortable, and he didn't think of these at the moment, and what he was thinking about was "School Flower Qiuya." ”
Immediately, under the dull gaze of everyone, Charlotte offered a "kiss" to Qiu Ya, and then did many things that he did not dare to do when he was a student, such as burning textbooks and beating the teacher.
This is actually very much in line with Charlotte's idea, after all, at Qiu Ya's wedding, Charlotte was ridiculed by teachers and classmates for not being able to do it, Charlotte who had done all this suddenly felt comfortable, and seeing that things were almost done, Charlotte jumped from the second floor and wanted to "wake up." ”
Who would have thought that Charlotte not only did not wake up, but also fell and broke his leg, after waking up in the hospital, Charlotte saw his mother who had "died for a long time" sitting in front of his bed, he thought that the dream had not woken up, who would have thought that he would realize later that "he had crossed over." ”
At this time, his mother thought that Charlotte was "mentally abnormal", and even specially invited him to take a look at the "goddess", but the result was definitely useless.
Because he crossed over, Xia Luo understood many things in later generations, so he began to "silently write" the songs of Xu Wei, Jay Chou and others first, as his own "original". ”
As a modern person who has traveled back from "open hanging", Charlotte can naturally rely on the previous memories to "catch fire", and it is not surprising that Charlotte has successfully "caught fire" with the memories of these decades and has become a household name.
I forgot to mention one point here, that is, after Xia Luo came back, a particularly "ironic" thing happened, that is, Yuan Hua's essay won the award, and the title of the award was "My District Mayor's Father." ”
This contains a lot of irony, and Charlotte is very "unconvinced" about this, saying that he is good at Xi?
However, when Xia Luo became popular later, the teacher also changed his face, and even Qiu Ya, who was "forcibly kissed" by him, secretly sent Qiu Bo to him.
Yuan Hua's status plummeted, until the famous scene "A Cut Plum" ———— the "fisherman" Yuan Hua at sea.
Xia Luo saw him so pitiful, so with his former classmates, he recruited Yuan Hua to work under him, and at this time Yuan Hua's poems changed greatly: a heroic rooster costume, flying on the branch to cover the phoenix.
From this point, it can be seen that Yuan Hua is very good at "tending to the flames", a proper sycophant style, but Xia Luo enjoys it very much, looking at the people who were once high, but now they have become their "subordinates", this feeling is pure fantasy.
In the face of his former wife "Ma Dongmei", Xia Luo avoided it, and finally stuffed it into the hands of Silly Dachun, but in the end, when Qiu Ya and Yuan Hua's affairs were defeated, Xia Luo realized that the only person who was really good to him was Ma Dongmei.
At this time, he regretted it too much, and it wasn't until he woke up that Xia Luo didn't know how good Ma Dongmei was, and then his temperament changed drastically and he began to stick to Ma Dongmei all day long.
Comedy films? no, more of a satire
Xia Luo wore a "rooster suit" to the banquet, but the moment he opened the door, he found that he had collided with the "master of ceremonies", and the master of ceremonies also asked: "This colleague, did you go to the wrong room?" ”
After the master of ceremonies finished saying this, the audience burst into laughter, here is one of the more ironic places, at the wedding that he thought was "his first love", Charlotte dressed up to attend, who ever wanted people to think that he was also a "master of ceremonies", this is the first point of irony.
Secondly, the poem made by Yuan Hua: "Going to the banquet alone to dress up with chicken feathers, they are all classmates pretending to be chicken feathers." After this sentence was finished, the audience also laughed, but in fact, this sentence was also full of irony, the same as the point mentioned above.
After saying this, Yuan Hua also said to Xia Luo, "It's all a joke from classmates", this is naked sarcasm, after ridiculing you, he will give you a "sugar", so that you have nowhere to spill your anger.
Later, when their teacher came, this section was the most wonderful "ridicule place", first of all, when the teacher appeared, the narrator gave a description: "I was expelled from school for receiving gifts." ”
Then came the self-description of the teachers and students, Zhang Yang preemptively said, "I was the first long-distance runner that winter", who would have thought that the teacher had no impression at all, and frowned and couldn't remember.
Then Zhang Yang said again embarrassedly: "That year, my dad gave you a Sony radio." As soon as this sentence was reminded, the teacher immediately remembered: "You are Zhang Yang, this teacher can't forget." ”
At first, I felt very funny when I watched this paragraph, but now I look back again and only feel that it is full of "ridicule", as a student teacher, the teacher did not react when he mentioned the most powerful achievement in the school period, but as soon as he said the "gift" given, the teacher immediately remembered what a mockery.
However, this is not the end of the matter, Yuan Hua is more direct, he said directly: "My dad sent a TV." The teacher's answer is like a stream, and it is directly "a talent." ”
In the end, it was our "Dasha Spring", and he hurriedly said to the teacher: "Teacher, I sent a wall calendar." Everyone knows that the wall calendar is very cheap, and the teacher is also very direct: 'The teacher can't remember.' ’
If the gift is expensive, the teacher can remember that the gift is cheap, and there is no impression at all, Zhang Yang and Yuan Hua are famous in sports in school, and the other is a good student in the class.
It stands to reason that this kind of outstanding students will get the attention of the teacher, who would have thought that Mr. Wang only pays attention to the gifts they give, and he doesn't care about the students' performance at all.
And Charlotte, as the person who wanted to "pretend" the most at this wedding, the teacher didn't mention him, which naturally made him very embarrassed, but what he didn't expect was that more shame was still to come.
After the teacher sat down, he asked directly, "Actually, the student I have the deepest impression of your class is that one, Charlotte." And Charlotte thought that the teacher was going to "praise" him, and then his expression became "arrogant".
But Teacher Wang then came with a sentence of "two fools", which directly made Xia Luo's face darken, and there were a lot of ironies in this description, and several people in front of the teacher couldn't remember it, but they said that they were impressed by the students in their class.
The impression is profound, but the excellent students who are good at Xi and sports always can't remember, but what they remember is Charlotte's "second fool", which shows that the teacher doesn't care about the classmates at all, and he is only interested in this "second fool".
At first, the audience will laugh when they see this, but the irony in it is very strong, reversing back and forth one after another, and each paragraph is a satire of this "fake teacher-student relationship".
In Charlotte's dream, Mr. Wang became a tall and mighty teacher who cared for his students, as the saying goes, dreams are the opposite, so Mr. Wang will be so good in dreams, and the irony is self-evident.
However, after experiencing this dream, Xia Luo also successfully realized the importance of the people around him, and he became so "sticky" to Ma Dongmei.
