The difference between the words "count" and "remember" gives the work an inexplicable style.
You think that Ren Suxi's wang zhao female protagonist is set, but because of this word, the protagonist has changed and become the male protagonist Du Wei who has been calculated and targeted.
01 Fools have foolish fortunes
The Wang Zhao you see, honest, kind, humble, cowardly, and even a little silly, but he has done the most unsmiling and cunning thing: find a father for the child in his belly. Why does the film call her Wang Zhaojun at the beginning, the main line of the movie, the story of an elderly young woman who is pregnant with her ex-husband's child looking for Lang Jun, the metaphor is silent.
Wang Zhao's character is set to be a fool, and the plot is that a fool has a stupid fortune, but he is so indebted to attract people's hatred.
She is the lowest-ranking worker in the company, but she wins the jackpot at the annual meeting every year. She was fired from the company for no reason, but because she had "non-thoughts" about her colleagues who liked to harass people. She is pregnant with her ex-husband's child, but it is also because she and her ex-husband, who has been divorced for two years, are not clear. Even the initial offline meeting with Du Wei, regardless of the sloppiness of the other party, is estimated to be because she purely wants to marry "misfortune" to others. As for why Du Wei was finally taken down in the end, I think it is not only Du Wei's difference, but also the stalking from her in the name of apology...
Apologies can be chased to Jiangnan, this is not a stalker what is it? In fact, Ming Ming Du Wei slowly put down and was ready to start her new life, she appeared again and again...
Zhao Zhao's novels say that she often piles up a bleak and stuttering smile.
The desolation comes from the lack of love from childhood, the mother remarried, she grew up with her grandfather, and the mother had nothing to do but come back to exploit her, as if she had no other relationship.
The knot is her instinct to survive, the instinct to live, and her knot seems to have no bottom line, the company's "nothing, there is strength...", the relationship "congratulations to you...", the game is divorced by netizens and call to "can not leave ...", the bus accidentally touched the person to explain "no foundation, no makeup ...", even open a room is "I went to buy ...", I have seen the lowly, never seen such a self-deprecating and self-deprecating.
Therefore, although the character of Wang Zhao, the heroine, is painful, looking at those shots, there is always a feeling of "hating iron is not steel".
02 The most unorthodox man
Du Wei, Wang Zhao's netizen, Wang Zhao's grandfather's yearless friend, a big grinning rough man, sloppy and untrimmed, economically self-sufficient, self-satisfied, but chose the approach of his own name: humble.
He loves the humble, knowing that the other party's family design, but without hesitation, knowing that the possibility of his stay is almost zero, but he has no remorse. This righteousness also leads to the spirit of old Beijing: words and deeds are hanging on to Lang Dang, but doing great things that stand tall in the sky.
The first acquaintance with old Beijing is in Uncle Yu's book "Play", Yu Qian played from childhood to adulthood, he teased cats, tamed birds, survived eagles, raised dogs, appreciated pigeons, stole fish, crossed horses, and even played out a pet park later. The play of these Eight Flags under the roots of the Imperial City, on the face of the face is all the wind of cunning, the real connoisseur knows that Lizi is the culture of old Beijing, the spirit of old Beijing.
Downstairs in the hutongs of old Beijing, there were often rows of dilapidated sofas and chairs, sitting old men and old ladies, basking in the sun, playing cards, chatting, playing chess was not there, playing chess must be under the shade of a tree, two mazars against a board. Their lives were quiet, content, and filled with the kindness and hard-working energy left over from the courtyard.
Such a tube building is often near the most prosperous boundary of Beijing, Chinese and English mixed and Beijing slices, fashion high-end and bean juice fritters two different lives are so intertwined and integrated, but also from time to time there are rough men like Du Wei, with their necks held high, no bird cage in their hands are also dangling, the arms are not on the eagle is also sideways, there is money in the pocket and eat the cheapest box lunch, in order to match the meal after the meal, burp hard to blow to the sky, with the most dragged posture to pinch the toothpick to floss teeth, incidentally full of confidence to spit dirt into the distance -
Just like in the movie, what we see is the appearance of Hanger Lang Dang, but what we can't see is That Du Wei walks the bird, dangling and paying his grandfather's medical expenses, and grinning every day to accompany the old brother who is hospitalized. After he saw the gap between the rich and the poor, he deliberately cut his nails in public and spoke roughly to leave some self-esteem for himself. He seemingly inadvertently gestured at the door of Super 8 to pull Wang Zhao, who was preparing to open the room, to leave, and a joke easily pulled his friend away. Behind his scruffy appearance, the home is full of green plants and vitality, obviously the image of a rough man, but eating a pig's trotter does not have to take tweezers to pluck hairs one by one...
The perfunctory image has a mismatched delicacy. I believe that all those who watch the movie will feel that Du Wei is by no means a simple three-bungee driver.
Du Wei is poisonous, and his poison lies in the fact that behind the pretending rough man, there is his own unique spiritual pursuit, the proud head is full of unique insights, and the tall and slightly rickety body supports the free and interesting soul. Therefore, at the end of the film, he chose a different life and recognized a wife who was pregnant with a child, which seemed so natural and natural.
03 You and I are mortal
Watching movies, I always like those details, the director with material, every shot has a meaning of existence.
Wang Zhao wanted to commit the plan to a lewd colleague, and after he went to buy a condom, he suffered from morning sickness, and a young man selling lamb kebabs on the other side thought that he was smoking her, and quickly changed the direction of fanning the wind. There is no doubt that this is the brightest part of the whole film, wang Zhao, who has been trampled on by self-esteem for many years, has not been cared for for too long, and the little care and kindness given by strangers who have never known at this moment instantly makes her pick up her self-esteem and pull back from the cliff.
When the sense of self-worth is low to the dust, it is just a little bit of stranger affection that makes a person get through the difficulties.
There are also those simple but deliberate details, all of which reveal the refraction of the lives of the most ordinary people.
Wang Zhaoming was just so sad that he cried, but when he returned home, he hid in the bed, watching the TV series without heart and lungs. Grandpa went to the park blind date corner from very strange to later easy to become familiar. The ex-husband's brother refused grandpa's request to fake marriage to give the child a household registration, and received a marriage license with the current one, and grandpa put away the crutches and left with his head held high. Du Wei pulled the box lunch, while jokingly saying that opening the three trampolines is the window for rich people to understand society. The half-brother spoke out loud about the consequences of not being treated as a child without a hukou. And the repeated appearance of Happy New Year's annual meeting glasses in the movie has always reminded the audience of the joke that "if you win the jackpot, you will be unlucky".
The stories of the little people always make people feel that there must be something hateful about poor people, and they see the shadows of ordinary people like you and me, funny and compassionate, greedy and selfish, hateful and pitiful.
The story of the little people is so loved, like Kore-eda's kind, in a faint tone, the daily life of mortals, trivial, ordinary, but let you feel close to yourself, it is such a life that is often full of the most philosophical.
