Introduction: Love accompanies the growth of young people in an era, and in the face of reality, the repressed youth of the fathers seems to be released in the next generation. Times are changing, the contradiction between family affection and love has always existed, some people have married love, and some people have chosen to live for love under the barrier of family affection. The cruel emotional convergence evolves into another mode of youth, leaving people with profound memories of the times. The short years of youth are the most precious and beautiful times in everyone's life, and it is only without regrets that this life can not be wasted. However, the inexhaustible state of life and the background of the times have killed the youthful dreams of some young people, and the dedication of youth has been abandoned by the times. Released on June 3, 2005 in Chinese mainland, the film "Qinghong" tells the tragic story of a father and daughter in the early 1980s. Youth is stifled, love is obstructed, in exchange for rebellion and contradictions. Director Wang Xiaoshuai takes the construction of the third line of the country in the 1980s as the background and takes the youth love story as the starting point, showing the impact of a big era on tens of millions of small families, which is very contemporary.
This film is made with great sincerity, with the director's personal experience to express the fate of the father's generation in a simple lens language and blue and gray images. Not only does it look real from the characters to the scenes, but there are many unique personal labels in the narrative technique, which makes people feel a lot after watching it. Real, absurd, showing the cruelty of youth.
The times and youth always seem to be closely linked, a special period when fate is bound by the times and the family, and many things can only succumb to reality, which reflects the cruelty of youth. In the depressed and bleak years, life always has to go on, but the process is full of struggle and confusion. From the perspective of emotional color, Wang Xiaoshuai's emotionally sincere film is very different from the previous fresh, romantic and free youth genre films, which show a sense of oppression that is powerless to change, and the silence is full of open and dark struggles.
From the perspective of the theme and style of the film, the nature of the literary and artistic film that aims to reflect the story of youth determines the overall story line and rhythm of the film. Through the reproduction of the life scenes of the old era, the audience is triggered to reflect on the relationship and communication between father and daughter family members. The impact of an era on the fate of the family and the individual is enormous, and the fate of the heroine experiences the youth pain of that era. With the director's precise detail control and the excellent performance of the actors, the film was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or in the main competition unit of the 58th Cannes Film Festival and won the Best Jury Award, which was well received in the international film world.
A film that traditionally tells about youthful love and family conflicts, it has become unusual because of the introduction of the background of the times. Regarding the times and youth, in the Tragedy of the Chinese Style, we express our thoughts and feelings about that era.
<h1>The film focuses on the poignant journey of the little people under the tragedy of the times, the youth that should be colorful has become dull and tasteless, the dedication of youth has been abandoned by the times, and the collision of youth and reality is full of many helplessness</h1>
In a given era, it is impossible to measure the right and wrong of a person, and the individual and the corresponding group only have a sense of confusion after responding to the call of the state. The director experienced that era first-hand, but most of the moviegoers he faced did not experience the turbulent and unassigned wandering life. An entire generation has been exhausted for the sake of that lofty ideal in their hearts.
Through the story of the struggle between the father and daughter of an ordinary family, the director tells the helplessness of people in that era who cannot choose their fate, and uses a lot of detail to describe the bitter journey of the little people under the tragedy of the times. The times have created a group of blood-boiling backbones, participated in the construction of the motherland, and they left their hometowns to come to the poor and remote areas, leaving their unforgettable youth and sweat.
Just like the title of the movie, Qinghong is both the name of the heroine and the dark red in cyan, which is given the meaning of incomplete life. In addition, the strong nostalgia added to this film is inside, representing the voice of a generation. They leave their youth where the motherland is most needed, but they bear an increasingly strong sense of homesickness and the conflict of inner resistance.
Third-line workers find ways to squeeze out their scalps and return to their homes in big cities with their families, making this reverse migration particularly eye-catching in the context of China's great social changes. The generation full of faith and energy dedicates its youth but is abandoned by the times, and the youth of their next generation becomes dull because of this barrier. In the face of the harsh reality, youth becomes gray, full of endless helplessness and depression.
<h1>This film focuses on the confrontation between father and daughter, reflecting the impact of the changes of the times on the fate of individuals in contradictions and conflicts, and the hopes and confusion of the two generations are reflected</h1>
Qinghong, played by Gao Yuanyuan, is in her youth, and she is a typical representative of the next generation of third-line workers' families. When he grew up, he followed his parents to the west, and had no specific impression of his hometown of Shanghai, but instead regarded Guizhou, where he grew up since childhood, as his hometown. At the age of 19, she looks weak from the outside, but on the inside she shows unusual strength and bravery.
The whole film revolves around her youth and emotional experiences, and the tragic ending is like the shadowed youth of that generation, accompanying them for the rest of their lives. There was everything she needed, friendship, home, childhood, and as her father made the decision to return to Shanghai, she decided to confront him.
Xiao Gen, played by Li Bin, is Qing Hong's first love, and Xiao Gen, who came from a local peasant family, is a little inferior and insecure in the face of Qing Hong's feelings. Under the ignorant youth, he was lonely and distressed about the unpredictable ending of his love affair with Qinghong. Perhaps, with Xiao Gen's current work and family background, it is difficult for him to give Qinghong a happy future, and a tragic love ending is inevitable.
For Qinghong, Xiao Gen is inseparable, and he has become a key figure in the constant struggle between Qinghong and his father. The beautiful love affair between Qinghong and Xiaogen was roughly interfered with by her father. Qinghong did not hesitate to use extreme means of fighting to fight, while Xiao Gen, in order to show his adherence to love, made the most extreme and shameless behavior and became a victim of the times.
Yao Anlian plays Qinghong's father Lao Wu, a representative of the authority of his father's generation and a hot-blooded young man who was once full of faith. When he was young, he did not listen to his parents' persuasion to come to a remote mountainous area and became a third-line worker in a state-owned enterprise factory. In the wave of reform, he made a bold choice of fate for the sake of years of nostalgia and a better environment for Qinghong's growth, and also paranoidly destroyed Qinghong's youth.
Qinghong did not understand her father's wishes, and the conflict between father and daughter intensified. The changes of the times made his father's original positivity and human feelings evolve into today's bitterness and depression, so he restricted Qinghong's personal and emotional freedom, imposed his will on Qinghong, and evolved his repentance of his past youth into an almost severe discipline.
<h1>The budding of youth, the helplessness of life, and the paranoia of parents, the film explores the fate of the characters in the cracks under the collision of youth and reality in a realistic style, giving people reflection</h1>
Xiao Gen is a rural youth from a humble background, while Qinghong is a middle-class person from a big city, and the gap in identity determines that their relationship will undergo more tests. The difference between urban and rural areas in special periods has caused a huge gap between superiority and inferiority in the hearts of people in these areas, and this sense of distance is from the inside out. As a result, Qinghong's father's cruel repression and contempt brought invisible harm to Xiao gen, and the interweaving of inferiority and strong love and hate made him explode in an extreme way, hurting the loved ones and taking his own lives, how sad.
Qinghong has her own dreams, expressing the pursuit and yearning for love under the budding of youth, but a relationship that is not optimistic has formed an increasingly tense relationship between father and daughter. His father imposed his own will on Qinghong, and Qinghong chose to resist. Under the fierce undercurrent, it was more the father's anger and the silence of the blue. The contradiction between father and daughter alludes to the collision of reality and youth, which is also the root cause of tragedy. A father who has been under the pressure of life, out of responsibility and protection for his daughter, invisibly leads to tragedy. Sending Xiao Gen to the road of no return while ruthlessly strangling Qinghong's youth, hitting her soul.
The fathers' generation could not redeem their sacrificed youth, so they pinned their hopes on their children, with a kind of paranoia and power, not caring whether the next generation accepted it or not. In fact, they show inner torment in the face of the helplessness of life, and the more they impose interference, the more they can only bring about the opposite result. Not wanting the next generation to repeat the tragedy, they have to intervene roughly in the youth of their children. In the face of the cruel reality, the small resistance of countless young and red people is useless, youth becomes insignificant in reality, love ends, helpless departure and life end, becoming the final destination of the characters under the youth.
<h1>Youth will eventually disperse, family education should pay attention to the communication and guidance of children's adolescent rebellion, and pay attention to eliminating the communication gap between the two generations, in order to make youth regretless</h1>
Everyone's life goes through several periods of particular importance, among which the rebellious period of adolescence is particularly critical to a person's growth. It is very important to find a balance between heavy schoolwork and precious youth. Children in this period have a rebellious personality, do whatever they want, and in the face of the emotional experience of the initial opening of the love sinus, many people are at a loss, which will invisibly produce a lot of harm.
School education can only make children pay attention to the accumulation of scientific knowledge in their studies, and the communication and guidance of children in the rebellious period of adolescence rely more on family education, and the spiritual communication and patient teaching of parents and children can make children feel a sense of happiness in their youth.
Youth is only an important stage in the journey of life, as we grow older, youth will eventually end up, and the fate choices that everyone faces are different. During this period, there are not only beautiful and simple romances, but more importantly, the accumulation of life experience. They have dreams, the love and pursuit of youth, represent the expression of personality, reality let the edges and corners of youth be gradually smoothed out, and what they gain is valuable life experience. Youth without regrets, in the balance of family and personality freedom, more is to guide rather than impose interference, we encounter a good era, then enjoy youth well!
