1. Losing weight is just a good gimmick
A few months ago, when I first saw the news of "Jia Ling lost 100 pounds", I didn't know that this was the filmmaker building momentum for the release of the movie, and I thought it was a simple weight loss success story.
The first thing I thought of was a hot search a few years ago, when Yang Ying and Jia Ling were guests on a variety show together, Yang Ying said something unintentionally and was scolded by netizens. I can't remember the details clearly, but to summarize it, to the effect that Jia Ling was subconsciously excluded from the "girl" group by Yang Ying because of her obesity.
Jia Ling, who had a high emotional intelligence at that time, laughed at herself, and the audience almost thought that Jia Ling didn't care about her weight. But when the news of losing 100 pounds came out, I thought, oh, it turns out that even if it has been so successful, Jia Ling still cares about weight.
But no matter what, this kind of movie that integrates the script with a reality show is still attractive, so I went to the cinema to watch "Hot and Hot".
But after watching the movie, I realized that Jia Ling didn't care about weight at all, and what she expressed was not the importance of losing weight.
Although this is a story of turning the tables against the wind, the audience will not find much refreshment in it, after the protagonist counterattacked, he did not kill the villain in all directions, nor did he show off his success with eyebrows.
2. Who is unconsciously unleashing malice on the weak
The narrative of the big heroine in many current film and television works is always criticized, because although the protagonist shouts "become a better self", the root cause and motivation is still "in order to deserve a better person", and he is still seeking the recognition of the excellent opposite sex. This kind of personality, in the final analysis, is actually just a makeover to cater to male power.
Jia Ling's film breaks this cliché. After losing weight successfully, he became beautiful, but it did not lead to love. Losing weight and becoming beautiful may be the biggest gimmick in the promotion stage of the movie, but the appeal expressed in the movie is far from the importance of beauty to women, and even some look down on beauty.
The two important supporting roles in the film, the heroine Du Leying's sister Le Dan and cousin Doudou, are all outstanding beauties, but the former cheated in marriage with his beauty, and was not ashamed but proud, and the latter turned positive in order to work, using the heroine, and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge after the end, and stepping on two feet in two sentences.
These villains are not great evildoers, we are surrounded by such small people, and we can even find our own shadow in them.
After all, Du Leying, the protagonist of the movie, was really a total loser at the beginning, and after graduating from college, she was frustrated in finding a job, and since then she has been in a slump for 10 years, and she has been living by gnawing on old age.
Whoever listens to such a person will inevitably be disgusted, so we are not sure whether we have unconsciously unleashed similar malice on the weak.
4. The kindness of the weak is too easy to be taken as a pleaser
There is no interest in understanding the voice of a weak person. However, when we follow Jia Ling and look at the world from the perspective of a fat woman, we see the unconscious evil in human nature.
The best friend robbed Du Leying's boyfriend and invited Du Leying to be a bridesmaid, because she didn't want to be charged with being a junior, although Du Leying scolded "fuck", she still served as a bridesmaid.
After Du Leying and her sister had a fight, Du Leying still transferred the house to her, so that her niece could go to school, but she only got her sister one sentence: "You should have signed!"
For the sake of the show's ratings, my cousin maliciously edited the video, so that Du Leying was attacked by the group, and she still had the face to ask Du Leying to faint on stage and help her create a breaking point. turned his head and disliked his cousin with his colleagues.
Du Leying is a very kind girl, but no one is grateful, everyone takes her good as a matter of course, and turns her head to tell others about her good or bad.
The kindness of the weak is too easy to be taken as a pleaser. And weakness does not only refer to a girl's fatness, it can be a defect in any other aspect, social status, economic status, physical disability, in short, if a person becomes weak, he has to be forced to bear a lot of malice.
4. Every punch thrown is an indictment of injustice
Regarding the theme of dreams, Jia Ling's choice of "boxing" also has a deep meaning.
In the film, there is a funny and heart-piercing plot, after Jia Ling was hit repeatedly, she fell downstairs at home, not only did she not die, but she didn't even scratch her skin.
Jia Ling cried in the mirror: "It hurts, why is it not hurt at all." ”
The funny lines imply accusations, saying that they are murderous and vicious, but they leave no traces, so even if someone dies, the perpetrators do not have to pay for their lives.
Therefore, the dream of choosing boxing as the heroine is actually a metaphorical counterattack to the malicious intent.
One is the invisible harm beyond the reach of the law, and the other is the violent fighting allowed by the law. Under this metaphor, every punch that the heroine throws when she is practicing and competing is expressing her anger and grievances to those who have hurt her.
5. Declaration of the good-hearted: I can also be unkind, please accept it when you see it
After Du Leying signed up for the boxing match, she always claimed that she wanted to win once. But her definition of winning is different from the average person.
Her goal is to finish the game from start to finish. People who are heavy on winning and losing don't understand the meaning of this kind of persistence in being beaten all the way, but in the end we all understand that Du Leying just wants to prove that she can not be defeated, and if possible, she also wants to prove that she has the ability to fight back.
When I saw the title "Hot and Hot", I knew that this would be a tear-jerking movie, but my tears were not pushed down until I saw the scene in the final boxing ring.
As a newcomer to the competition, Du Leying faced a strong opponent who won four consecutive championships, her movements were always obviously lagging behind, and she was pressed and beaten by her opponent almost the whole time. But while she protected her head with both fists, she kept looking for opportunities to fight back, and against the backdrop of her opponent's rapid punching speed, Du Leying's counterattack looked extremely clumsy, and it was this clumsiness that was particularly touching.
This fighting scene is too much like the process of everyone's training in society, most of the fists that fell like a storm fell down, so Du Leying's persistence and stubbornness that she knew she couldn't do was so tear-jerking.
Today's Jia Ling is admittedly not a weak person, but she must have been deeply hurt by this malice, so she has refined a rubber heart that laughs at bullets in order to make a movie like "Hot and Hot".
There are easter eggs at the end of the movie, Jia Ling smiled and said to fans: "The other party is professional, I just need to hit her, and go back to edit and playback, it looks like she hit me dozens of times." Hahaha. ”
Whether in the movie or in reality, Jia Ling is expressing that in the face of the evil dragon formed by secular malice, even if there is a huge disparity in strength, she must tell the world: Those who are weak and easy to bully in the eyes of people actually have the ability to fight back, but they are unwilling to fight with the evil dragon and become an evil dragon, and finally choose to give in kindly. Therefore, those who are accustomed to stepping on other people's positions and are not grateful, please accept it when they see it.
Today's Journal:
The weather seems to be getting a little hot. There has been no specific announcement in the working group about the day of the meeting. It is estimated that it will be these two days. When I got up in the morning, I replayed two writing lessons, made up the notes for two lessons, and wrote out the prototype of the novel outline, which was still too general, mainly because some of the passages were not formed in my mind. Let's improve it slowly in the future. I slept until 7 o'clock every day for the past few days, and when school started, I still need to resume the habit of getting up at 6:30, and everything is in order to make me feel calm.
