Who would have thought that in domestic dramas, you can actually see a group portrait of women in a bathhouse?

Recently, this adaptation of Li Juan's essay collection of the same name "My Altay" has finally been released, and this bathing scene is so brilliant.

The heroine Li Juan came to the bathhouse to take a bath with her mother and grandmother, and the camera swept away, and there were naked and soaked bodies everywhere, but there was no trace of eroticism and uncomfortable feeling.

Some people are playing chess in the pool, some people are bathing, strange women rub each other's backs, become interested, and sing songs in praise of their hometown Altay, the whole picture is harmonious and moving.

was able to shoot the footage of the women's bathhouse so warm and delicate, it is not difficult to imagine that this is the work of a female director.

Director Teng Congcong's last work, which is also her first work, is one of the most feminine films in recent years, "Send Me to the Green Clouds".

And this "My Altay" can be called the spiritual + visual double medicine of contemporary young people.

Although it is a national drama, in addition to the beautiful scenery that people yearn for, the characters in the play are more vivid and full of wisdom under the brushstrokes of female directors.

Not much to say, let's taste the products 👀 together

Beautiful Altay

Each frame is a visual enjoyment and a concrete representation of artistic conception

The story takes place in the beautiful Xinjiang Altay, where the heroine Li Wenxiu went home and ran a commissary with her mother Zhang Fengxia after repeatedly hitting a wall at work in the county.

She gradually discovers that the hometown she longs to be away from is so beautiful.

In the hope of Xie Shu, the green mountains are there, and there is a lot of green grass on the Su Causeway.

Blue sky and white clouds, dense jungles, endless green wilderness, herds of cattle and sheep, and teenagers galloping horses.

Whose dream scene was filmed here?

There is no soft light, no deliberate post-creation of the scenery blockbuster, and the scenery here is naturally unadorned.

Each frame is as beautiful as wallpaper, and when you look at it, your eyes and heart are healed.

The characters do not need to be beautified and polished, they are full of simplicity and wildness, and the shots of their daily lives are like the embodiment of prose poetry.

Among them, it is not only these heart-warming beautiful pictures that make the sheep unable to take their eyes off, but also the aesthetic expression of the lens language.

This cut will definitely be able to enter the life picture of Batai.

The camera pans from top to bottom, and the viewer's perspective thinks that this is an upward shot of him on the tree, and the next second, the branches of the tree move the surface of the water, causing ripples.

Batai is a Kazakh boy who loves to ride horses and shoot arrows, and is full of wildness.

The face has natural sunburn spots and chapped traces of frostbite, revealing a primitive hormonal feeling.

From the perspective of a female director, the love scene is no longer an earthy flirtatious scene of male fantasy, nor is there a moving idol drama plot.

When two people meet for the first time, they don't look over the heads and do their own things after looking at each other, and they secretly have feelings for each other in their daily interactions.

Sitting on a tree and using the exchange of words to break down barriers step by step, and taking a small step towards each other's world, it is a pure love full of sincerity.

Healed by the scenery and moved by the innocent throbbing, the migrant workers felt less class smell after seeing it.

Director Teng Congcong is very good at creating atypical female characters, from Sheng Nan in "Send Me to Qingyun", to Zhang Fengxia, a mother who has never been mentally exhausted and open-minded.

There are no golden sentences and heroine plots that are always valuable, only the truth expressed in the most unpretentious vernacular, and the real desire and vitality of women.

From the perspective of a female director

The beauty of an atypical woman

How should a Han woman with a dead husband and a mother-in-law with Alzheimer's disease live in the sparsely populated pastoral areas of Xinjiang?

Zhang Fengxia, such a woman full of buffs, has no bitter feelings and no entertainment life, so she snorts melon seeds and sits with local women and teaches them to swear.

When her daughter disagrees with herself, she will not use her mother's name to bind her daughter and interfere in her life.

At the same time, she will not be kidnapped by the role of mother, and her daughter's advice will not stop her from moving towards the life she wants.

When the daughter did not get a sense of recognition in the county, and when she returned home to ask her mother for the account, she found some sense of value.

Zhang Fengxia did not talk about anyone's pursuit or persuade her daughter to open her eyes, but instead questioned the definition of the word:

"What is useful, I didn't give birth to you to let you serve others, you look at the trees on this grassland, is it useful for someone to eat? It's nice to stay like this without being eaten. ”

Zhang Fengxia, like her name, has some chivalrous spirit on her body.

In her opinion, it's not a big deal, the daughter apologized to herself after losing her grandmother, she crossed her feet and said, what's this, just pick it up if you lose it, I often lose her.

Zhang Fengxia does not have the characteristics of mothers who like to sacrifice their children in previous TV dramas, she is self-centered and sees her daughter as an independent individual.

When her daughter decided to stay on the ranch, she told her daughter not to feel that her knowledge was higher than that of the locals because she had been in the county, and that the local culture had its uniqueness, not to destroy, but to respect.

Zhang Fengxia's free and calm appearance is easy to be liked by the audience, but when Tolkien, another widow character in the play, appears, it is a different style of painting.

Tolkien's husband froze to death in the snow after drinking, and she and her two children wanted to remarry, but they were caught up in local customs and gossip from the people.

Tolkien's undertones are sad, but suffering women are not the same.

previously had an optimistic aunt who was abused in "Dark Glory".

The character of Tolkien provides more answers to the image of suffering women, who are not bitter women who are lifeless and unwilling to socialize.

When she goes to the prom to dress up, she doesn't dress up for anyone, she just dresses up because she looks forward to the ball.

There is also a section that the sheep particularly likes, Tolkien always wanted a washboard, but her husband drank more than 2,000 yuan of wine on credit, and never bought her a washboard.

Later, Tolkien had a new boyfriend, Chaoge, and in order to express the new boyfriend's love for Tolkien, there was no link to buy a washboard.

Instead, he borrowed a washboard from Li Wenxiu, and Tolkien gave Li Wenxiu a piece of croissant soap in return, using mutual assistance between women to fill the gaps in Tolkien's broken life, rather than a filter of love.

There is no need to deliberately create a beautiful scene of friendship between women, such a small act can pull the hearts of two people and get closer to become friends.

There is also a group portrait of women in the bathroom mentioned by the sheep at the beginning, there is a mother washing the children's clothes, and a grandmother holding a rattle for the child in deep thought, everyone sees each other naked, without any male connotation.

The women the camera sweeps over are all relaxed, comfortable and alive.

Let's take a look at Li Juan's description in the original book:

"Taking a bath in the bathhouse, my ordinary body, my ordinary limbs, will soon be wrapped in heavy clothes and walk in the twilight ordinarily. This ordinary life, this ordinary peace. I'm not young anymore, but I'm far from old. ”

There is also Woolf, who appears more than once in the play, and it is of course gratifying to see her in domestic dramas.

She is a beacon of women, a pioneer of feminism.

And when "My Altay" appears, the audience is intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, and they will also be moved by the female perspective and female characters in the play.

Zhang Fengxia, Tolkien and other atypical female images will also serve as a benchmark for domestic dramas, and more diverse and in-depth female expressions are what the audience expects from female characters.
