Preface
From Sword and Fairy to fireworks in the world, Hu Ge's alternative turn
When it comes to Hu Ge, people often think of the heroic costume images he created on the screen, from Li Xiaoyao in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
to Mei Changsu in "Langya Bang".
Every appearance he makes has a light on it. However, recently, Hu Ge's choice of role in the new movie "Stop and Go" has made everyone's eyes shine - he is no longer the unreachable hero, but has become an extremely ordinary, even a little embarrassed 35-year-old unemployed vagrant.
This huge contrast not only made the audience exclaim "I can't laugh anymore", but also triggered extensive discussions and deep thinking on social media.
Plot of the movie: A true portrayal of life
In "Stop-and-Go", the character played by Hu Ge returned to his hometown with exhaustion after experiencing the hardships of the North Drift, but encountered the cold reality of ageism.
repeatedly hit a wall in the interview, just because he crossed the invisible "35 years old" threshold.
At home, he also has to endure the accusations and disappointed eyes from his parents.
In order to maintain the remaining dignity, he chose to pretend to go to work every day, but in fact he wandered the streets and alleys, queuing up with his uncle and aunt to receive free eggs, and his life seemed to have lost its direction.
Those comments that make people laugh and cry
"Hu Ge is acting, I'm real."
This comment is short but hits people's hearts, expressing the helplessness and sadness of many struggling people in reality. It makes us realize that art comes from life, and that life is sometimes more brutal than movies.
"In order to shoot this drama well, Hu Ge has observed me for at least three years!"
The humor is mixed with a hint of self-deprecation, reflecting the general plight faced by middle-aged people in contemporary society, and their deep understanding of their own situation.
"This theme is good, let me see the middle-aged man who is now 35 years old."
Although this sentence has a hint of banter, it also reflects the public's deep concern about the current social structure and employment environment.
In-depth analysis of social phenomena
"Stop & Go" is not just a movie, it is a mirror that reflects the many problems of today's society: age discrimination, difficulty in finding employment, family alienation, and confusion about personal values. Every scene in the movie seems to say to us, "Look, this is you, this is me, this is us." ”
How difficult it is for middle-aged people to find employment
Between laughter and tears, the audience found resonance and triggered a deep reflection on the current state of society. Why are so many people in their first years of existence unable to find a foothold? Why is the family, which is supposed to be the warmest harbor, become a source of spiritual stress for some people? The film does not directly give answers to these questions, but it prompts us to think, to discuss, and to seek change.
epilogue
The appearance of "Stop-and-Go" has made Hu Ge's image more three-dimensional, and has also made social topics get unprecedented attention. In the interweaving of laughter and tears, we see our own shadows and feel the sadness of others. This film may not be able to change reality immediately, but it reminds us that everyone's life is not easy, and understanding and empathy are the strength for us to move forward together.
Behind the smiling comment area, there is a helplessness about reality and expectations for the future. Let's take this resonance and continue to "stop and go" on our respective life paths, and maybe at the next corner, we can meet a different scenery.
