Under the high pressure of the city, everyone is suppressing their true side.
Many people seem to be emotionally stable, but in fact there are detonation points everywhere inside.
We're actually sick, but we don't know it.
The most extreme representative of this type of person in "Bridge of Sighs" may be Liang Shuyuan, who is far beyond the urban disease of other characters.
When the fifth episode of the plot develops to Liang Shuyuan's "sudden" insertion, we have a serious sense of cutting the content of the first four episodes.
Not only in terms of content, but also in style, it suddenly became weird, interspersed with video stop-frame images and sound processing that made people creepy.
We found that the screen of the plot at this time suddenly flickered, and the colors suddenly changed to night high-contrast mode.
Many people's first reaction is that the screen is broken, but in fact, that is Liang Shuyuan's inner world.
Liang Shuyuan and Zhong Huai'an, the couple, are the most ordinary couples in the play.
Liang Shuyuan has achieved a little success at work, but she is always distressed by her grumpy husband Zhong Huai'an.
Zhong Huai'an, who can't get the results of scientific research, only blames the injustice of society, never takes on the responsibilities of the family, and even suspects that his lonely and weird son Zhong Jiajun is not his own child.
Liang Shuyuan and Zhong Huai'an were too busy and focused on themselves, unable to see each other's needs and predicaments, and blamed each other because of the gap between ideals and reality, so that they went further and further.
Zhong Huai'an is only focused on realizing his dream of being a scientist, and the pressure, frustration and Liang Shuyuan's high salary make him extremely psychologically unbalanced and despise his wife's work.
Liang Shuyuan couldn't stand Zhong Huai'an's neglect and anger, and sarcastically mocked his lofty ambitions.
Liang Shuyuan, who lacked her husband's attention and understanding, found a little solace in the young and well-behaved intern Hu Qiyuan, and after a night of spring breeze, she saw the reaction of Hu Qiyuan's mother, and woke up with a wry smile.
In fact, from another perspective, if one person has a high salary, the other person can reduce the pressure of making money and research with peace of mind, isn't it great?
Unfortunately, it is difficult for human expectations to change because of reality.
Zhong Huai'an was too immersed in his own world, and finally abandoned his wife and children to chase his dreams.
Angry mother and missing father, in this extremely distorted atmosphere, Zhong Jiajun is obedient to the point of dropping out of school.
From Zhong Huai'an's perspective:
I gave up my dream to stay here for you, I sacrificed a lot.
From Oh Liang Shuyuan's perspective:
You are a big man who doesn't work all day, I support you, I sacrifice more.
Husband and wife both feel very wronged by each other, feel that they have sacrificed too much for each other, but they have not been understood and rewarded, is this husband and wife model very familiar?
When the director uses a flashback method similar to a glitch to highlight Liang Shuyuan's psychological distortion, the audience seems to feel the suspenseful atmosphere created by Hitchcock again.
When Liang Shuyuan met Hu Qiyuan, it was another irresponsible rotten peach blossom.
Liang Shuyuan, who had nothing to rely on, could only be strong to raise her children, but she didn't expect the child to also suffer from illness.
These misfortunes overwhelmed Liang Shuyuan and led to mental problems.
After that, Liang Shuyuan was dismissed from the company again and met Hu Qiyuan again.
Liang Shuyuan came to work in Hu Qiyuan's father-in-law's roast hotel, and took care of the store with her shrewdness and ability.
The life that had just returned to the normal track was interrupted, and Hu Qiyuan's girlfriend He Leer fired Liang Shuyuan out of jealousy, a move that annoyed Liang Shuyuan's strange son Zhong Jiajun.
A fire destroyed the shochu hall.
Liang Shuyuan was abandoned again.
Later, Zhong Huai'an's dream was completed, but he did not achieve fame, so he returned to Hong Kong to live a family life with peace of mind.
The status of Liang Shuyuan and Zhong Huai'an is now reversed, and Zhong Huai'an's return has brought unprecedented peace to the home.
Similarly, in the face of the conflict between marriage and ideals, Zhong Huaian can choose freely and ruthlessly, and advance and retreat in the conflict.
As a woman, Liang Shuyuan can only be confined to family life, burdened with the stain of gui, and mentally deranged from the burden of family, workplace pressure and lack of emotion.
In Liang Shuyuan's world, everything that is wrong is someone else, and what is wronged is herself, constantly rehearsing the role of being a victim in her own imaginary world.
She blamed all the wrong things on her mentally ill son Zhong Jiajun, but in fact, her son was the most normal person.
The expressions of the individuals in the poster are full of meaning.
Although Liang Shuyuan is also missing half of her body like Zhong Huai'an, the positions of the two in the picture are different, obviously not the right people, and their age and identity in the play are also very different.
And Liang Shuyuan's head and neck connection has been completely broken, suggesting that she is mentally disordered and her mind can no longer control her body.
The least happy are the ones who laugh the most, because they want to hide the fact that they are unhappy, or they can't look at it directly.
Liang Shuyuan's situation was the most worrisome, but she smiled extremely brightly, but her slightly overlooking expression was gloomy, as if she was going to do something unreasonable in the next moment.
Liang Shuyuan is represented in the play by wine.
I think the reason why I use wine to represent Liang Shuyuan is not only because I worked in He Leer's father's bar, but also because of the blurred state of reality and illusion after being drunk, just like Liang Shuyuan's mental state, I can't tell the truth from the false.
This almost terrifying atmosphere seems to be a bit out of place with the delicate style of the whole play.
But in fact, the narrative style from the POV perspective has a new shift, and the thriller elements added to the sky and Liang Shuyuan's extremely unstable psychological state are surprisingly suitable.
The character setting of Liang Shuyuan itself is not particularly brilliant, but Wu Yongwei interprets the state of middle-aged women who are in a state of mental collapse and even close to splitting very well.
Liang Shuyuan's eyes and expression were gloomy and terrifying, and the flashing discoloration and noise were really creepy.
Women in the workplace are unable to balance the contradictions between workplace pressure and family relationships, as well as the helplessness and despair of life, which is vividly shown in Liang Shuyuan.
When she was young, she was obviously a vigorous and resolute professional woman, but she spent many years in family life and became a terrible mother with a strong desire to control.
Liang Shuyuan even became a copy of Hu Qiyuan's mother, pushing her son to the brink of collapse with her own hands, and she also made herself uneasy.
But the most unexpected thing is that the later plot trend proves from another aspect that Liang Shuyuan's real psychological state is far from being so bad, and it is Hu Qiyuan who really has serious psychological problems.
Every time Hu Qiyuan gets out of control, he lives with others, and ironically, when he tries to escape twice, he is beaten back to the prototype by Liang Shuyuan.
At first, when I saw Zhong Huai'an leaving, I felt that Liang Shuyuan was really pitiful, and thought that if Liang Shuyuan could be with Hu Qiyuan, after all, Liang Shuyuan would not force Hu Qiyuan to do anything, and He Leer could be with Li Ziyong.
Later, I learned that the screenwriter was still old and spicy, and he designed Liang Shuyuan to think of Hu Qiyuan only when she and her husband were not having a good time.
No one has ever really loved Hu Qiyuan, so he will not really love others, it is useless to resist and face, so when he can't bear it, he escapes from one person to another.
In this cycle, the more obedient you are, the more you are disliked and passive.
Nothing else matters except toy freedom, and there is no plan for a love career.
