"What are the most memorable memories of my life?"
"Youth"
Not because of the fine fluff at the corner of the teenager's lips under the small depth of field, nor because of how memorable the early love is, nor because of the roar of the youth that has been solidified, but because of the most rapid and unique growth.
Taken apart, "Dog Thirteen" is the story of a thirteen-year-old girl and a dog.
It won the Crystal Bear Best Picture Award at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, director Cao Baoping excelled at more realistic films, and "Li Mi's Conjecture" and "Glorious Rage" were both based on social news.
The script of this movie was created by Jiao Huajing after the 80s, in which she integrated a lot of her own personal experience, and then described the pain of everyone's growth through such a small and inconspicuous ordinary girl Li Play.
Director Cao Baoping said in an interview: "This is a film about a girl growing up, and it can also be understood as a difficult time to grow up. ”
The heroine Li Play is played by Zhang Xueying, who has not yet fallen into the "Peppery Soup" incident five years ago, and is young and simple, stubborn and independent.
She is like a child who has been thrown into the adult world prematurely by her father, the adult world is prejudiced, selfish, hypocritical and cruel, self-righteous, and everywhere is the shadow of her isolation, pain and confusion, so she can only be forced to cover herself into a large glass cover, in which a dog named Einstein accompanies her.
Sometimes she also feels that the starlight is not so dim, and it is okay to apply for English classes.
But then Einstein was lost, which was the first thing adults taught her.
She was deceived, beaten, and coaxed, and she learned to be silent and compromised, to accept her stepmother's lies, to pretend that the second dog was the original Einstein, and then the adults said she understood things.
Li Play asked Gao Fang, "Have you ever seen a real adult?", and Gao Fang did not answer.
I don't think we can answer either, because it's such a heavy word that's too broad and abstract, and neither of us has ever seen what a real adult looks like, because we all sadly resonate with this movie.
Sadly perfect understanding when the second Einstein was sent to the dog meat restaurant by the whole family, Li Play's how many tears hid in the despair that could not be expressed, and when Li Play picked up the piece of dog meat at the dinner table and said "Thank you Uncle", his heart was desolate and quiet.
After watching this movie, I suddenly understood why the cruel youth written by Guo Jingming was so sought after, except for those words wrapped in gorgeous exaggerations, every boy and girl in his pen has a sadness that can resonate with us.
Many people in Douban said, "If there is no resonance, do you know how lucky you are", and when Li played hesitantly and swallowed the dog meat in front of her, she finally succeeded in becoming the adults' favorite look.
And along the way, why are we not like this, those youthful feelings, the sound of dreams and faith shattered in the wine glass, broken slowly and delicately in the growing years,
The film content is too real frame by frame, evoking too many resonance and memories for us, but Li Play eventually reconciled with himself and grew up, and we have long passed the age of not being understood, so when we grow up, we should not have reached out and hugged ourselves long ago.
