Unitary Ganju Shi Wen (Original)
An unknown director, a group of unknown actors, a script with an uncomplicated story, but the audience will never forget!
Wang Mao, no, it should be called "dog leftovers". He was an orphan and didn't even have his own name! He was adopted, sent to Songshan to study art, and spent ten years wandering, only picking water for ten years!
Back in the township, in order to marry Xing'er (the heroine), he needs to build two tile houses as a "bride price". But where does the money come from? - Be a soldier!
For this long-cherished wish, he became a soldier three times, but these three times experienced different things: a national army, a puppet army, and a new fourth army. The first two times voluntarily, the third time cheated!
However, just as he was about to return to his hometown to see Xing'er, he became angry, shot and killed many devils! His marksmanship was accurate, and his guns killed him. However, he was eventually captured because he ran out of bullets. The leader of the devils humiliated him in every way, and was about to kill him when the instructor appeared with his soldiers...
The apricot in the film does not say much, but the person looks beautiful. Her father didn't want to marry him to a dog, so he did everything he could... However, she always had dog leftovers in her heart. Helpless, in the chaotic world, it is not easy to survive!
In the end, Apricot was brutally killed by the leader of the devils. Their family, including the traitor, was also killed.
The ending is unexpected, otherwise, how could the laughter caused by the previous black humor disappear? At this moment, all we hear is a cry of exclamation! The atmosphere of the film suddenly became solemn...
The "mansion" that dog left to support itself in his heart collapsed violently. Apricot, the faith in his heart, was torn apart alive. As a small person, the dog has his own dreams, which is not how difficult it is to reach. This would have been easy to achieve in times of peace through honest labour; but war, this abominable war, has turned everything into nothingness.
There is no "country", where is the "home"!
So far, the theme of the film has been displayed in front of the audience through the way of "seeing the big in the small". I always think this is too cruel, director, you are so desperate! However, if you think about it, this alone is not enough to highlight the theme!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that this ordinary life was really hard-won! Let us sincerely bless those "little people who are full of blood and tears, struggling in reality"...
