The English name of "A Good Drama" is "The Island", the island.
In the Pacific Ocean, the sea breeze is salty and the waves are like thunder. Occasionally, a monstrous wave swept a group of living people into the island, and there were company bosses, drivers, and small employees, who woke up and did not know where they were, lonely and miserable.
This story, Huang Bo has been worried about for many years. He said, living on a desert island, can morality still be established? Love or love?
Unfortunately, "other directors didn't want to shoot, so I had to come myself."
He really came, chose a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and trekked through the mountains and rivers every day to find the scenery. Let the boat be upside down in the sea, and the wings of the heart be born, and the live fish fall from the sky, covering the sky like rain.
The water bus, fish rain, Christmas fish tree, wings, etc. in "A Good Drama" are all quite magical and realistic pictures
So everyone is robbing, hungry, cunning, sophisticated, speculative, grotesque and realistic. Paired with classic opera excerpts from the background sound, it becomes a "desert island fantasy fable" that alludes to the evolution of human nature.
Some people say that it is ridiculous and ridiculous, but I love the romance of this fart.
01 Desert Island
I could swim to live on a small island in the South China Sea and bring nothing but a toothbrush.
In 1932, in the movie "Robinson", the male protagonist Douglas made a bet with a friend. Then he went down to the sea with a toothbrush, actually set up a home on a small island in the South China Sea, and domesticated animals to help him.
Not long after, another woman appeared, out of nowhere, escaped from marriage, short hair, wearing only a grass skirt, beautiful and beautiful.
Film history desert island survival films first appeared in 1932, called "Robinson". But there is actually an earlier one called "The Blue Lagoon", which was remade in 1949, 1980 and 2012. Strictly speaking, it is a romance film, and there are very few survival and adventure plots.
This is the "ancestor" of "A Good Drama" and the originator of the film history "Castaway" genre.
Although many critics have called it "a cheap travelogue disguised as a feature film", the title also borrows from Robinson Crusoe.
Published in 1719, the book tells the story of a man named Robinson who encountered a storm on his way to sea, drifted to an uninhabited island, and lived for 28 years, 2 months and 19 days before returning to his hometown.
Illustration of Robinson Crusoe, kneeling to Robinson on Friday, the two look quite similar to the people in "A Good Play".
To be honest, in the teenage centuries, anyone with a little vision, such a story, can make up three or two pounds, it is really not rare. After all, at that time, there were countless people living on desert islands, scribbling all their lives, and people's ears were cocooned.
For example, in 1542, a French noblewoman committed adultery with a young man and was banished to a small island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where she could survive by hunting.
In 1864, a ship departing from Melbourne crashed in heavy rain, and 19 crew members were stranded on a desert island, where only 3 survived due to hunger and cold.
The most famous of all had to be Napoleon. In 1815, the short man was exiled to one of the world's most inaccessible islands, St. Helena. He also lived in a dark house covered with spider webs on the island, did not see the light of day, and eventually died here. A reporter wrote at the time, "This monster will be trapped there in case he disturbs the dormancy of Europe."
But "Robinson Crusoe" is too famous, even known to women and children, familiar with it, Napoleon is obviously not enough weight.
As a result, it has been adapted into a film of the same name many times, and the great Spanish director Luis Buñuel has also made it, as has George Miller, who became famous for "Mad Max".
As for those who can't make it, they simply work the title of the film and rub hot spots, making it look like Robinson Crusoe is related to the past.
For example, "Robinson", "Swiss Family Robinson", "Modern Robinson", etc., all imitate the characteristics of Defoe's characters.
From left to right, Robinson, Swiss Family Robinson, and Modern Robinson are all desert island survival themes, but they are the core of comedy, not enough to call them adventure films.
It was not until 1968 that Duel Pacific was released. Like Huang Bo's "A Good Drama", it takes place on a small island in the Pacific, but the time is reversed to the period of World War II, and the protagonist is replaced by an American soldier and a Japanese anti-war soldier.
Positions force them to kill each other; survival forces them to depend on each other.
So the sunset drained their shoulders, and the two of them changed from the initial you fight with me, chickens and ducks to talk, to the division of labor and cooperation, making rafts and returning to their hometowns. There was no verbal communication, but it was as if they had once had a drink together.
Duel in Pacific, starring Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune, the latter portrays a grumpy Japanese soldier to life, eventually forming a symbiotic relationship with the former, revealing a brief human brilliance.
But the most classic is the millennium's "Desert Island Remains". It is still a small island in the Pacific Ocean, detached from modern civilization, deserted, rocky, occasionally shocking waves crashing on the shore, wild storms, frightening snakes and rats dare not make a sound.
So Tom Hanks, who had been stranded in a plane crash, tried to end his life with a 30-foot bark rope.
But Heaven has the virtue of good life, he drilled wood to make fire to roast crabs, and used the ice knives abandoned by others as a tool to cut coconuts and slaughter fish. Finally, the raft was tied, crossed the ocean, and returned to the human world.
In "The Rest of the Desert Island", Tom Hanks plays a courier who is stranded on a desert island due to a plane accident, and has struggled with nature for five years, and expressing packages to customers has become his belief to get out of here alive. After returning to the city, he saw that his fiancée had married someone else and became a mother, so delivering the package to the destination became his only purpose.
It is a pity that things are not human, and only faith is left. But perhaps because of this, the four words of "The Rest of the Desert Island" reveal a rough and poetic romance.
02 Fantasy
Colonel, it's raining in Macondo.
Márquez looked at the desolate streets and the condensed beads of water from the almond trees of Almond, and sadly typed the words on the telegraph key.
Insomnia, dirt eating, the priest who vacated after drinking hot chocolate, the beauty who slowly became transparent and then disappeared, and Macondo rained heavily for four years, eleven months and two days in a row.
This is the "Magic realism" of "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
A narrative technique that incorporates traditional realism into a little surreal and fantasy implications, causation often seems illogical.
"A Good Play" is exactly that "illogical". Schools of colorful and tons of fish descend from the sky. The heavens and the earth in the giant ship were turned upside down, and the board, tables and chairs were on the head.
"A Good Drama", it is said that the fish rain paragraph has more than a thousand special effects shots, of course, mixed with some real fish, in tons, plus special effects make the whole picture very realistic, there is a sense of absurdity.
"A Good Play"], the design of the inverted hull is very magical, the sky and the earth are upside down, the floor is on the head, and the ceiling is under the feet.
That's why I always think of Rob Gonsalves.
In 1990, he exhibited paintings at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition, including "Riding in autumn", "The Vaudeville", and "On the Reef". Especially "On the Reef", only look at the right half, it is two divers rubbing the sea surface to swim, and then look at the left half, it is clear that it is a clear sky.
The sea and sky are one color, and for a while it is impossible to distinguish between high and low.
In fact, Dalí's paintings often show the world upside down, such as "The Reflection of the Swan in the Water". Because of this, people often compare Rob to Dalí. But instead of following that surreal path, he rushed to magic realism, claiming to "decorate the places he passes in his daily life, pictured "On the Reef."
This is the magic realism that Rob has always insisted on.
Not "Journey to the West", "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", but a little fantasy in reality, a little is enough, which is precious.
"A Good Play" is like this, in the words of the Colombian writer Alvaro Mutis, "I doubt it ever existed."
Yes, you see this no-man's island, strange and strange, Huang Bo and Shu Qi were alone in the cave, and saw her give birth to a pair of green translucent wings, flapping and floating in mid-air. What is true or false?
"A Good Play", Huang Bo flashed in his mind the picture of Shu Qi growing wings and floating in the air.
But love is magic realism.
It wasn't me who said it, it was the Russian painter Chagall who said it. He has painted love all his life, the most famous one is like Huang Bo and Shu Qi, one standing on the ground, the other floating in mid-air.
Born in Russia in 1887, Chagall is a great figure in the history of modern painting, often using symbolism. He is very good at portraying love, and his paintings appear in the movie "Notting Hill". The picture was taken in the early 20th century.
So in 1925, the critic Franz Lew used "magical reality" for visual art. In 1967, Márquez wrote One Hundred Years of Solitude, which is hailed as a representative of magic realism.
1988's "Song of the Wanderer", Behan moved iron in the air; 1992's "Chocolate Lover", the taste of chocolate changes with the mood of women;
Alessandro's "Birdman", the father who is more than half a hundred years old suddenly took off; Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris", the male protagonist jumped back to the golden age in a carriage.
Midnight in Paris is a rare piece of Woody Allen's magic realism style. In the film, the male protagonist repeatedly travels in a carriage at midnight to Paris in the twenties and thirties and meets Hemingway, Dalí, Picasso, and Fitzgerald.
Life is wonderful. It's like the rain outside washing the glass, but you're lying on the bottom of the sea watching the belly of a dreaming whale.
Then you die, sink to the bottom of the sea with your eyes closed, colorful fish come and kiss you, and the next year, a group of islands grow on your back.
03 Fables
On this doomsday island besieged by sea and storms, there are rough laborers and shrewd planners. Those who can dream can control the situation, strategize, and fight back.
This is the fable of human nature in "A Good Play".
Desert islands, suggesting a society of natural selection. Cards, representing the equivalent currency of food exchange. A person who goes from being polite to killing and looting is a metaphor for the evolution of human nature.
"A Good Play", there are people who are good at winning people's hearts and playing with power, and there are also people who seize the mountain as the king through burning and killing, which can be said to be a brief fable of human evolution.
Fable, a literary genre, usually refers to anthropomorphizing animals, plants, or natural forces to give them human qualities, as well as to using figurative stories to pin some kind of meaningful revelation.
Just like Boccaccio's "Ten Days", Chaucer's "Canterbury Stories", the Arab folk "One Thousand and One Nights".
In the 1970s, italian director Pasolini made it all into a movie, known as the "Life Trilogy".
Inside there are nuns and mutes, monks and wives with a husband, kings who marry a virgin every night, and a rooster who is confused by the fox's rhetoric and nearly dies.
He used this to lash out at the ugliness of the Catholic Church, express the ideal of the commoners' pursuit of freedom, and expose the hypocrisy and ugliness of medieval society.
Pasolini's Decameron was released in 1971, and the most classic is the plot of the old nun rushing to make peace with the mute.
Like "The Farmer and the Snake," like "Here Comes the Wolf," and of course, "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
Macondo, a metaphor for Latin America. The lights, trains and movies brought by the Gypsies reflect the cultural changes of the Middle Ages in Latin America.
You see, the so-called desert island, the so-called independent paradise, is nothing more than a condensed society. The author uses small and noisy and vivid and credible allegories to hint at the complexity and simplicity of human nature.
Therefore, Mike in "Flying Over the Madhouse" is free to rebel against authority, but he is removed from the brain lobe; Phil in "Groundhog Day" wakes up and finds that the robot in "Edward Scissorhands" on February 2 is regarded as a monster by the villagers of the town, and is hated and ostracized.
It's all a cold metaphor for society, a hazy and immutable revelation of life, a satire on the greedy and brutal dictator.
"Flying Over the Madhouse" compares society to a huge madhouse.
Edward Scissorhands is a pungent satire of human nature through a fairy tale fable.
In a word: refers to mulberry scolding locust.
Just like "A Good Play", order is rebuilt, interpersonal relationships are reshuffled, desert islands are not bound by physical laws, and there is no moral system between people.
As a result, some people are overbearing and creating evil, some people pretend to be high, play with power, greed and interests are intertwined, and freedom and individuality are deprived.
Isn't this small island in the Pacific Ocean a society? The island is absurd and strange, human nature is capricious, and desires cross fields, cross cities, burn dry rivers, and destroy bridges!
Huang Bo's eyes were warm and sincere, and he filled a pot of old soup, which had been boiled for decades, and told you that there was hypocrisy hidden everywhere on this desert island.
Fortunately, if there are ghosts in the world, there must be gods, and if there is hypocrisy, there must be true hearts. For example, love that can spew out a raging flame and each flame burns on the heart.
"A Good Drama", the picture of Huang Bo helping Shu Qi wash his hair.
Yasujiro Ozu once said that the cinematic feeling he pursues is the aftertaste.
I have always thought that this only exists in family ethics films. But at present, desert islands, fantasy, fables, every point of "A Good Drama" has a thick and long aftertaste, which can be carefully tasted.
I suddenly remembered the scene that Ning Hao described Huang Bo swimming, "He threw himself into the water, without any identity, just a person in the water."
No, it doesn't stop there. He must have been one of the schools of fish that fell from the sky, his tail slapping the water, his body stretched, on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, on a fantasy drift.
Original title: The fantasy drifting of middle-aged Huang Bo
