"Donkey Got Water" is a comedy film written and directed by Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, starring Ren Suxi, Dali and Liu Shuailiang, and released in Chinese mainland on October 28, 2016.
Adapted from Zhou Shen and Liu Lu's drama of the same name, the film tells the story of a remote school in the Republic of China period, when teachers falsely reported a donkey as a teacher to receive a salary. On December 2, 2017, at the 14th Guangzhou University Student Film Festival, the movie "Donkey Got Water" was selected as the most popular film for college students.
Since the film was adapted from a play, many things had to be seen after watching the play to be able to reach a more accurate conclusion.
At this time, I just followed some of the feelings and judgments I saw, with the movie as the main body.
To talk about this movie, the role of Zhang Yiman cannot be avoided. After all, several important plot developments have been related to her, not to mention that she involves several very eye-catching parts: sex, death, and the unforgettable song.
Although her appearance is plain, when the word beauty is mentioned, people unconsciously associate her with this word.
The film's slogan: "I'll tell you a joke, but you're not allowed to cry." ”
Lu Xun, the great writer, pointed out in "On the Fall of the Leifeng Pagoda Again": "Tragedy destroys the valuable things of life for people to see, and comedy tears apart the worthless things for people to see."
It just echoes the era in which the film is involved.
It can also be understood that this is a tragicomedy, and it cannot be directly defined in terms of comedy or tragedy.
Zhang Yiman's death, on the other hand, is more tragic.
It is not easy to point out directly what value she has, but the beauty alone has already made people feel valuable, so that her disappearance has a strong sense of tragedy.

What exactly does Zhang Yiman want? I didn't feel it very clearly, I just felt her entanglement, embarrassment and death again and again.
For example, when Pei Kuishan mentioned her past, her attitude was mainly avoidant. When a person has some experience, it is natural to have an evaluation of this, but her evaluation is very vague, hazy, and fragmented. Simply put: very awkward and hazy, but has been sentenced to death by the surrounding environment.
Later, whether it was Pei Kuishan or the coppersmith's attitude towards her, and this entanglement, embarrassment, and death, it seemed to be surprisingly consistent.
Why is that?
Let's take a different perspective.
First of all, we need to know that the era they are in is a very tangled value, especially for women.
In that era, we had just got rid of the imperial system, got rid of the feudal era of arranged marriages and the idea of male superiority and female inferiority. But knowing that you are wrong does not mean that you know right. Exactly how men and women should get along is still a matter of great uncertainty.
And, Zhang Yiman is here, especially in terms of sex, which is very far ahead, and can even be described as sexual openness.
After all, physical freedom is also a very important right belonging to the individual, so why not listen to the needs of the body and have fun in time?
And the feeling she gave me was that she probably didn't know what she wanted at all, but was just looking for it and having fun in time. Just in the search again and again, she constantly felt more and more hopes dashed and desperate arrival. Perhaps, she is a Nala in "Doll's House" after leaving, who knows the importance of resistance and going out, but where to go.
03
However, Lu Xun calmly pointed out in "What Happens After Nala Left" that Nala's end is either to fall or come back. Among them, four classic quotes are still deeply touching:
1. Freedom is not something that money can buy, but it can be sold for money.
If it weren't for the lack of money, the story might not have started. It is because of money that there is such a name as "donkey gets water" and the embarrassing situation of creating another lie for one lie after another.
Among them, when Zhang Yiman faced the coppersmith, although it is difficult to say that she directly sold herself, the series of performances she gave to people was to exchange money for money through the body, but the money was not directly obtained by the coppersmith, that is, the kind of prostitute who gave the fee, but the pajama coppersmith to complete a thing, and then let such a group of people get money and enjoy the benefits it brings.
It's really similar to a kind of sexual bribery, or even selling yourself. And Pei Kuishan understood it in this way, and it broke out.
2, the most painful thing in life is that the dream wakes up and there is no way to go. The dreamer is happy; if he does not see the way to go, the most important thing is not to wake him up.
For the fact that Zhang Yiman slept with himself, the coppersmith actually had great doubts. From the perspective of human nature, he actually hopes that the event is more like a beautiful female ghost or fox spirit in "Chatting with Zai Zhiyi" who falls in love with a man of good character, so that he can't help but be emotional or similar to repaying kindness.
However, Zhang Yiman adopted a direct suppression attitude in this area, calling the coppersmith a "cattle". And this just echoes the original intention of several people at the beginning of the film, saying that they came here to solve the peasants' "stupidity, poverty and selfishness".
In such an environment where old thinking is broken, it is impossible for a small place, even if it is closed, not to feel the atmosphere of serious decline in self-status and serious destruction of self-esteem. However, in order to be able to continue life, many people adopt a state of continued self-paralysis.
However, Zhang Yiman's "cattle" seriously broke the wonderful dream of the coppersmith associated with a series of them.
Indeed, a true warrior, dare to face the bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood. However, when a person is not a real warrior, but has to face the harsh reality, but there is no way out, it is easy to do extreme things. After all, the shortest way to alleviate the feeling of being bad is to find someone worse than yourself, or someone worse than yourself, to crush and get a feeling of "at least a cushion after death".
Later, also for money, Sun Henghai, that is, their principal, gave such an important dominance to the coppersmith, causing those people to fall into a deeper hell. According to the organization, even if the coppersmith is a teacher, his power and status cannot be higher than that of the principal. However, the principal was on such an important matter, for money, let an object they originally thought needed to be helped to get rid of "stupidity, poverty and selfishness" into a state of calling for the wind and rain.
This seeming concession not only did not make the whole situation better, but entered a more disorderly state.
On the contrary, it is a bigger trouble behind, so that the whole situation will not be miserable so fast.
3, because people can forget, so they can gradually get rid of the suffering they have suffered, but also because they can forget, so they still have to make the mistakes of their predecessors.
Money was like a baton with powerful magic, allowing several teachers and relevant superiors to live and die for it, and later including coppersmiths. Even after an extremely chaotic situation, once the interests are mentioned, the crowd can directly carry out "arranged marriages" for them, and even perform the art of "reviving the dead", and crush Zhang Yiman, a woman who was originally at the forefront for the interests of the group, again and again. Even if she becomes ugly and crazy, she still can't stop the whole situation from developing in a more and more vicious direction.
Will it be done again in the future?
Zhang Yiman gave a pessimistic answer. Perhaps, she had already answered this once before, perhaps just like the things that Pei Kuishan had mentioned.
In my judgment, Zhang Yiman may have thought too simple of women's freedom and independence at the beginning, thinking that it was enough to find a good environment. So there was something pei Kuishan mentioned, but it was obvious that the place made her very disappointed, so she changed to such a seemingly free mountain village far away from the crowds, trying to find new hope.
But where can the inertia formed over thousands of years be so easily resolved?
Women's independence and freedom seem to be glamorous, but in fact they are weak, and in such a difficult and chaotic era, it is really difficult and luxurious to obtain these.
It can also be said that her heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper.
Perhaps, at that time, she was desperate to find that the big cities and small places were the same, or even worse.
And so there was that gunshot.
She seems to have the inertia to bring vitality to people, but constantly open up the dark side of human nature. Let the situation that was just a little worse at the beginning be activated continuously, and then enter the infinite cycle of deterioration, then activation, and then deterioration.
It's not necessarily her fault, but it has something to do with her.
4. There is a rogue spirit in the world, and the essence is resilience.
Zhang Yiman is an obvious idealist, pursuing perfection, but does not have strong enough self-protection and coping skills.
In particular, it underestimates the evils of human nature and the ability to cope with them.
In fact, the principal and the relevant personnel showed that they did not have relevant abilities at the beginning. If people have good self-management skills at the beginning, there is no need to have such a series of management positions.
As mentioned in "The Ragged Crowd", the group has too many characteristics that are easy to create chaos, making the whole situation out of control. Therefore, it is very important to keep the whole in a state of not getting out of control.
Zhang Yiman, on the other hand, had the inertia of rushing ahead recklessly. Of course, she may just want to repay the favor, and the principal was willing to take her in and give her a new hope.
This may be why she took the initiative to solve the problem by sleeping when she was glued and everyone did not force her to take that way to solve the problem.
At that time, the administrators should have come out to stop it, but the principal gave the power to the group. And, this kind of thing, he did it again and again.
It is true that using the power of the group to suppress people can quickly reach the goal, but the power of the group has a very big problem: the IQ is not high, and it is easy to be confused. And the series of things that followed proved this.
04
Indeed, Zhang Yiman is real enough, beautiful enough, and enough to attract attention, she is like an elf, like a princess, like a demon, and like an angel, which makes people always pay attention to it.
Truth and beauty are always so impressive, but being able to impress people and whether the person can survive are two different things.
And, as an adult, one of the things that you need to do is to know what you want, not to be like a child, just look around with ignorant eyes, and let yourself unconsciously walk into difficult right and wrong.
