"Mr. Hello Tree", many netizens called it one of Wang Baoqiang's most underrated peak masterpieces, with a Douban score of 7.9, but it was such a drama that became popular many years later
Half of the people can't understand this movie, and the other half don't have the courage to watch it a second time after understanding it.
And the biggest question in the play is: When did "Mr. Tree" go crazy, and is he really alive in the later stage?
"Hello! Mr. Tree"
This is a movie released in 2011, with a box office of only 2 million, because its subject matter is too unpopular, integrating "demolition", "derailment", "human accident", "class", "family affection", "values" and so on.
It is also a reflection of social facts, plus Wang Baoqiang was not a big name at that time, and there were no other famous artists to participate, so it was difficult to attract the attention of those young consumers.
Moreover, the plot is too profound, and the common evaluation of many people after reading it for the first time is: too depressing!
And it is difficult to understand the central idea that this drama wants to express, so its early reputation is not good, after all, who wants to spend money to watch a depressing and incomprehensible "waste drama".
However, with the increasing number of small fresh meat dramas that are out of reality, and the people who watched this drama at the beginning have gradually grown up and entered society.
"Hello! Mr. Tree" has become popular after being silent for many years, perhaps because of the influence of Wang Baoqiang's current status as a big celebrity, or maybe it is because this drama has a lot of resonance with today's people.
Countless people expressed their love for the show after watching it, and more people finally understood what it wanted to express after watching it repeatedly, and many people said that they saw their own shadow in "Hello! Mr. Tree".
There are also many people who say that there will be a "Mr. Tree" in their village. After all, this drama is really too close to reality, and this drama revolves around the protagonist "Mr. Tree" and tells some of the things that happened to him.
"Mr. Tree" was originally a single young man in the village, with no talent, but he was not lazy to do, because of his high seniority, so everyone politely called him "Brother Tree".
And after this hypocritical title, it was everyone's inner contempt for him, and his brother was forced to death by his father because he disagreed with his father's philosophy.
His family's land was occupied by the village chief and he didn't dare to speak out, his classmates were polite on the surface but had to know him, and his only good friend Xiao Zhuang had no ability, "Mr. Tree" longed to be valued, but he was snubbed everywhere.
He always holds a cigarette in one hand and a trouser pocket in the other, which is the inferiority complex and pretending to be calm that he wants to express in his heart.
And when did "Mr. Tree" go crazy, and are the subsequent things that raised eyebrows real?
Trees have actually gone crazy for a long time
Many people say that Mr. Tree has gone crazy the moment he knelt down to the second pig who had forcibly occupied his land.
Many people say that Mr. Tree died on the eve of his wedding, and he wanted to put on a show but because his younger brother did not borrow a crown car, he had a fight with his own brother, and he was really dead at that moment.
To be honest, this drama is the only movie that I don't want to watch anymore, but I can't help but keep wanting to watch it again or twice, so when I watched it for the fifth time, I realized that in fact, Mr. Tree may have gone crazy much earlier than everyone remembers.
His madness has always been a collision of contrasts between the ideal world and the real world, and a contradiction with his inner inferiority complex and the extreme contradiction of longing to be taken seriously but not allowed.
The tree said that he always dreamed of his father, who was wearing a black coat and looking for his brother, and the tree's brother was the father of the tree who was forced to die by his father, and he had little ability but always wanted to establish his majesty.
Because the tree's brother was convicted of hooliganism, he was considered to be a shame on himself, and strangled him, and the tree witnessed the tragic death of his brother, and the spiritual world of the tree was already distorted at this time.
In fact, it is already hinted at the beginning of the movie: the mother burns paper for the tree's father, and at night the tree squats on the tree alone and sees the fire in the distance, sees the place where the brother was strangled, and stands the dead father.
At this time, the tree has begun to detach itself from the real world, he doesn't understand why his father would do such a cruel thing, he doesn't understand why family affection can't withstand a gossip.
At this moment, the tree has entered the stage of self-doubt and denial of reality, and when the tree is hospitalized due to a work injury, his leader comes to see him, and the tree is very happy.
He thought that his status in the leader's heart was very high, and he thought that the leader was coming to comfort him, but the other party threw out two thousand yuan and fired him by the way, and at this moment there was a crack in the spiritual world of the tree again.
He couldn't understand why he was fired for being injured in the line of duty, he thought that he could be appreciated by his boss as long as he worked hard.
And when he was drinking with Erzhu and Gao Peng, although the tree with inferiority complex in his heart was ridiculed by Erzhu, he bowed his head silently and did not dare to face them.
After all, laughing is admitting what the other party said, and he will be very faceless, and if he doesn't laugh, he is worried that the other party will say that he will not give face.
At this time, Erzhuang accidentally rubbed the crown of Erzhu, and the tree felt that drinking with Erzhu just now was his own person, and wanted to let Erzhu give face to Xiaozhuang and a horse, but he didn't expect Erzhu to ignore him at all.
At this time, the little self-esteem that the tree had left was very little, and in the balance of reality and the spiritual world in which it was divided, it was already inclined to schizophrenia.
When Gao Peng got married, Shu thought that his mother had been talking about his family's land being occupied by Erzhu's family (the village head), but Shu had never dared to speak up.
Taking advantage of this good day, the tree thought that the second pig should be in a good mood, so he cautiously said about it, but he didn't expect to provoke the second pig, he asked the tree to kneel down and apologize to him, how did the tree do it?
He went into the house, saw that there was no one, and knelt down for the second pig, and the self-esteem that the tree had worked so hard to maintain at this moment was gone.
He has become a walking corpse-like existence, after all, from the perspective of the whole play, it is the self-esteem that he has carefully maintained that the tree has always adhered to.
And when he wanted to escape from this village and live again in a place where no one knew him, he found his own little Yixin.
This little friend who became the principal actually looked down on the tree in his heart, and the tree actually knew this, but the village was no longer suitable for him.
So he cleaned, he gave Fa Xiao as a driver, he was able to accept it, but when he saw his own Fa Xiao, this educator actually raised a junior outside.
The things he believed in were gone, after all, in the eyes of the tree, Fa Xiao was engaged in a very noble profession, and the tree was on the verge of collapse at this time.
On the eve of Shu's wedding, he wanted his younger brother to borrow a crown for him to save face, in fact, he was no longer for his own self-esteem, but wanted to test whether the only family affection that still had hope still existed.
As a result, he was disappointed that he had a fight with his younger brother, and from this time on, the tree went completely crazy, and the family, work, self-esteem, and friendship in his inner world were gone.
The Ah Q-style world that he had been comforting himself had completely collapsed, that is, there was no more Mr. Tree in the world at this moment, and everything that happened after that was his imagination.
Whether it was becoming a god stick and making the second pig kneel to him and give him compensation, or he cutting the ribbon for a large enterprise, or even getting married was imagined by the tree, on the wedding night in the play, Xiaomei took the initiative to throw Mr. Shu on the bed.
It's just that he is loved but always a passive party expressed in the spiritual world of the tree, even if he goes crazy, he never dares to take the initiative.
And even if he goes crazy, the best love is nothing more than a mute, because a mute can't speak, because normal people don't look at themselves.
When my mother entered the city in her brother's car, tears were on her face, and she once said that she would not leave her hometown because the trees would not leave it.
Seeing this, I thought that the tree was probably dead, that he had gone mad a long time ago, and that he had probably died after he had gone mad.
epilogue
Some people say that there is actually a Mr. Tree in every village, and some people say that they seem to see a trace of their own shadow from Mr. Tree, but in fact, this drama is not only Mr. Tree.
