"I am not a medicine god", a realistic theme movie starring Xu Zheng, the box office of light points exceeded 100 million, and the Douban score was also a direct explosion, 9.0 points.
It directly raised the entry threshold for domestic films in the summer.
Is this movie really that godlike?
Looking back at the story structure of the whole movie, I found that it was actually a routine with "Pancake Man".
Dapeng wanted to make a movie.
Xu Zheng wants to sell "fake drugs."
Dapeng pulled a group of people to be the director of the film himself.
Xu Zheng found a group of people to sell "fake drugs" as their bosses.
Dapeng collected money to disband the production team.
Xu Zheng collected money to dissolve the small company.
Dapeng conscience found that the film was remade.
Xu Zheng's conscience found that he had re-sold counterfeit drugs.
Dapeng movie was made.
Xu Zheng made the state pay attention to medical insurance.
The same routine, but why let the reputation of the two movies polarize?
The reason lies in the word "real".
"Pancake Man" is a fictional story, around the dream, but it is a very niche dream, not a casual person will have the dream of becoming a director.
At the same time, the characters in it are not at all a portrayal of our little people, and we naturally have no resonance when we see it.
Haha a laugh will pass, after all, people's slogan is only "save the unhappy".
And "I am not a medicine god" is a true story, Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, is called Lu Yong in reality, and he is a hero in reality.
The despair of slow-grain leukemia patients in the movie, the sky-high price of "Glenin" anti-cancer drugs, Cheng Yong's smuggling and trafficking of drugs, and the regaining hope of patients, all of which are based on Lu Yong, who is worshipped by patients as a medicine god, a person who has really experienced these things.
So when an old woman in the film says, "I took medicine for three years, ate the house, and ate my family." "I don't want to die, I want to live." "Can you guarantee that you will never get sick?" When these words are said, we will be moved by them, and we will suddenly burst into tears between laughter.
Because these are the real worlds around us. Running around in order to survive, toiling hard for life, all this is to "live".
From "Dear" to "Operation Mekong" to "Operation Red Sea"... This film adaptation of true events allows us to see the cruelty of the world.
And when these truths expand outward and shine into the land of animation, what is the picture?
The animated film released in 16 years of "The Shape of Sound" tells the story of the mutual redemption of the male and female protagonists, and their main theme is to "help you live".
But if you don't stick to a quarter of the movie, you don't feel a little healing at all.
What is the first half hour of the movie talking about?
Elementary school students gang up to bully a transfer student with congenital hearing impairment.
They write insulting words on the chalkboard.
They threw the notebooks they used to communicate into the water.
They pulled off the hearing aids of transfer students.
Did the transfer student rebel?
No! It's all silently endured.
Because in her opinion, it was all her own fault, and she didn't want to cause anyone any more trouble.
Then things were revealed, the situation was reversed, and in an instant, all the people who seemed to be good friends blamed the male protagonist, and the bully became the bullied.
In our opinion, this transfer student is extremely stupid, and the transformation of this bully's identity is also very unreasonable, thinking that all this is just the director's imagination, but in reality, it is often like this.
In recent years, school bullying incidents have repeatedly broken out, perhaps you and I are lucky, have not experienced this darkness, but have to admit that these are real.
On February 28, 2017, Zhu Mou, a female student at a vocational college in Xicheng District, Beijing, together with four other female defendants, used heinous measures to beat and insult two female students without cause in the school's female dormitory building.
During this period, the five female defendants also stripped off the clothes of a bullied female classmate to humiliate them, and used their mobile phones to shoot videos of humiliation and beatings, and afterwards spread them in a small area in their WeChat groups; one of the victims was beaten three times on the same day.
On June 24, 2017, a video of a student of Yanqing No. 2 Middle School being humiliated was posted online, and a student was forced to pick up feces in the toilet.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of 2017.
According to the Juvenile Prosecution Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, in the first 11 months of 2017, procuratorial organs across the country approved the arrest of 2,486 cases of 3,788 people suspected of bullying and violent crimes on campus; 3,494 cases of 5,468 people were prosecuted.
According to another survey, more than half of the more than 36,000 respondents have personally experienced school bullying, of which 1/4 have bullied others, and the vast majority of them have also been bullied by others.
These stark figures reveal the horror of the school bullying incident.
And "The Shape of Sound" puts this bloody fact in front of it, even if it uses a softer painting style, the dreamy ending, can not cover up the painful feelings brought by campus bullying.
Another domestic animation, "Ideal Forbidden Zone", has put China's social problems on the screen.
Teen internet addiction is a headache for many parents, so an institution called the Elite Re-education School for Yucai was born.
The male protagonist is an Internet addicted teenager who was forcibly taken by his parents to this place called an educational institution, which is actually a prison.
Life after that was miserable.
Every day, endless physical training, if you fail to complete the task, you will be insulted and beaten.
Here, no police, no law, the instructor is the authority!
All the actions of the students depended on the face of the instructor, who tried to resist, but what awaited them was a violent beating.
This is the denial of man's ego, the annihilation of his personality, and the suppression of his thoughts.
What we can feel is a deep sense of powerlessness.
Do you think this story is so familiar?
That's right! This is the true portrayal of the "Yuzhang Academy" incident that broke out last year.
It is the one who does not treat students as human beings, who will be handcuffed, who will be locked in small black houses, who will use iron rods as a ruler to beat the palms of his hands, who will be abused into sex, and who will be in the name of justice, but in fact it is hell on earth.
How many students have suicidal thoughts in it, but they can't die if they want to die.
How many students, even if they have escaped the clutches of the devil, still have psychological shadows and even mental disorders.
How can a school full of violence and authoritarianism teach good students?
At the time of this outbreak of public opinion, the animation of "Ideal Forbidden Zone" is to make this kind of school public, to let everyone know that what you think is good for children is actually pushing them into the endless abyss.
Although it was taken down after it was just released, it also made everyone realize that we began to pay attention to social issues.
School bullying and Internet addiction schools are still hot topics in society, and the public has paid attention to them.
These animations belong to the reproduction of this phenomenon, and often there are some realities that are unseemly, but everyone is conventional, and it seems that this "unspoken rule" is regarded as an inevitability.
The domestic manga created by cmj in "The Battle of Bima" portrays the helplessness of the cartoonists into three points.
The gossip and vision of relatives and friends, want to escape from reality but have to face it, and after compromising with reality, there will be dissatisfaction.
What impressed me the most was the shady scene of the manga competition.
The winners of the competition are not the best comic stories, nor the best drawing skills, nor the most skillful use of storyboarding, but those with the most commercial value.
I, a little ignorant, suddenly realized that no industry is really bright and clear.
In such a big environment, is it useful to rebel?
The male protagonist tried, but failed.
This reminds me of another Chinese manga artist, Zuo Hand Han, who won the silver medal at the Japan International Manga Awards for his work "Old Horse".
When he was not famous, he took the manuscript of the work "Old Horse" and visited the publishing house.
The publisher put it down after only glancing at the cover and asked directly, "How many fans do you have on Weibo?" ”。
I was amazed as a bystander watching him describe himself, not to mention the left hand Han himself.
In this era when interests are king, dreams are so far away.
Left Hand Han is a microcosm, because he succeeds, we will know his things.
And behind him are thousands of people who are like him who are struggling for their dreams but are forced by reality.
Art comes from life.
When these realities come into anime, they bring us heavier thinking.
It will highlight contradictions and conflicts in a more exaggerated way.
"Life with Your Head Down", a domestic best animated short film that was selected for the 90th Oscars in 2018, is an extremely exaggerated way to describe the captivity of human beings in modern society as mobile phones.
"Super Venus" shows a history of aesthetic development and a change in people's mentality in just a few minutes. It is not very bloody, but it can make people feel pain when they look at it, and it is extremely touching.
We feel empathy for these animations, even though we know they're fake, but we can't help but look for reality in the fake world.
And this ironic picture will become even more glaring, as if it is mocking our surroundings.
Art is higher than life.
The charm of anime lies in its unique way of expression, which will tell the needs in its own language, thus bringing people into thinking.
It expresses not only the phenomenon, but also the contemplation behind the phenomenon.
When we are accustomed to watching bloody battles, accustomed to ordinary love, and accustomed to humorous and funny daily life.
This time it is time to reflect on the blood-soaked truth behind this.
