Mention Ge You, we are all too familiar with him, he is a trump card in "Feng's Comedy", that bright bald head, harmless eyes of people and animals, a mouth leaking out two front teeth, quietly squeezing out lines, revealing a desireless style everywhere, making people look at Coke.
Ge You's comedic image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that as soon as the play is performed, people will play, and the "Night Feast" of that year caused the audience in the theater to laugh frequently, and many people said that Ge You could only act in comedy.
In fact, the audience familiar with Uncle Ge knows that this is a misunderstanding of him, and the drama he plays, and even the tragedy is not inferior to his comedy, such as the gambling-addicted rich young master he played in "Alive", who experienced ups and downs and tasted the sadness of the world.
In the realistic film we introduce today, Uncle Ge also contributed superb acting skills, which makes people reminisce for a long time.
This is Director Lu Xuechang's 2003 film "Carla is a Dog".
This film requires a certain amount of experience to taste it well.
When Pi Ge first watched this film, he was still a junior high school student, and he rented this disc with his brother in the video store for ge You's name on the weekend, and wanted to spend a relaxed and hilarious night, but the effect presented by the film was disappointing, the plot was as dull as water, dull and boring, and our brothers struggled for an hour, and finally gave up halfway because of drowsiness.
However, after graduating from college for many years, I occasionally remembered that there was still a vague impression of this film, so I found it to relive, not only watched the whole film in one breath, but also had some unfinished feelings, and then Savored it carefully, and also tasted a different taste.
The time of the film is the beginning of this century, when the Beijing stray dogs were flooded, the news of citizens being bitten by dogs occurred from time to time, the public security bureau required citizens to apply for a dog license, a 5,000 yuan, the workers at that time were only a few hundred yuan a month, many people continued to raise dogs without a license with luck, and Ge You played the second eldest of them.
However, the police quickly found their home and took the puppy Carla away, and a day later, Carla was taken to the wilderness and disposed of, leaving only 16 hours for the family.
From the story point of view, this film can be called "Rescue Mr. Dog", for a bastard puppy, the second family can toss enough, look at Coke and sad; from the perspective of time, this is another movie version of "Beijing Twelve Hours", the whole film takes place in one day, and the messy things that happen during the period are dizzying.
There is no doubt that "Carla is a Dog" plays with black humor, the director spent 100 minutes on the surface about "looking for dogs", but in fact about "looking for people", and a line from the second oldest person in the movie reveals the answer: Only in front of Carla, I feel like a person.
Ge You scrapped a nest in the film, the second was wearing the clothes of the eldest one, stooping on his back, with a beard, his eyes were sluggish, he saw everyone cowering, even his sleeping face was tense and convulsive, as if someone was going to beat him in the next second, and he lost himself in panic.
The film is 100 minutes long, the second brother as the protagonist did not appear until the 21st minute, there is no real name, it is called the second brother, even the screenwriter is too lazy to name him, can be called the most nested protagonist.
In the play, he also has no sense of existence, he is an ordinary worker in the factory, he has no status in the family, his wife is very strong, his monthly salary has to be handed in, and occasionally he wants to be intimate and has to wag his tail and beg for mercy. The son also looked down on him, blatantly saying in front of strangers that his father was a scumbag.
Only Kara treats the second brother as a person, and every day when the second brother enters the door, he will greet him at the door and think of ways to please the master. Carla is there, the dignity of the second is there; when Carla is lost, the second is really the second oldest who can no longer be hardened by reality.
The dog, the introduction of this film, it successfully connected the details of the little people, and the second brother shook out the bits and pieces of his body on the way to find the dog.
Carla connects human feelings.
First, let's talk about the husband and wife of the second eldest.
The old couple had obviously spent seven years of itching, transitioning from love to affection, and his wife was considerate enough for his life, giving him good wine and good dishes, but she could not iron his numb heart.
The two communicate mechanically every day, the toilet lid is broken, the child should go home to eat, and the elderly in the family should visit Yunyun. This is the current situation of many middle-aged couples.
Let's talk about the father-son relationship of the second eldest.
As mentioned earlier, the son despises this nest daddy, and in order to resist him from listening to the songs of the Korean group, he wears wide pants that are not different, in order to stand against his father.
The second eldest is also unaccustomed to his son, he not only cut off his son's pants, his son does not come home at noon he is also indifferent, and going to school to find his son is not as important as finding a puppy.
The film is 100 minutes long, and most of the previous time the father and son have not appeared in the same frame, until the last son is imprisoned, and the father and son have completed the silver screen first gathering. Ironically, the two men stand alone outside the locked door, one in the door, and an iron fence separates father and son from two worlds. The son was arrested because of the grievances, the second brother did not listen to the son's explanation, without the bottom line of dignity to apologize to others, until the end the father and son could not stand together, sad and lamentable!
Then talk about an ambiguous relationship between the second brother outside the marriage.
Yang Li is an old colleague of the second eldest, and the two were once card friends at the mahjong table, and they have some inexplicable relationships with each other.
Kara was given to the second elder by Yang Li, Yang Li said that Carla was a wild breed born of her dog and wild dog, and the director actually implied here that the two were once good friends.
In the film, Yang Li's ability to flatter the old er is to borrow his dog certificate, and it is to open up a relationship for him to rescue Carla, and finally Carla can go home smoothly because of Yang Li's divine assistance.
Compared with her wife, Yang Li does not have her duty, as a divorced woman who makes friends with hemp, behaves frivolously, and takes off her underwear in front of the second eldest. But she can give the second brother true dignity and quench the thirst in the second brother's heart. The second brother did not have the courage to steal affection, and continued to live honestly and dutifully, and the love between the two will also disappear.
Finally, let's talk about my son's brotherhood.
In order to save Carla, the son asked for help from his friend Xiao Fat, but Xiao Fat escaped from the battle. Later, Xiao Fat was bullied by Huang Mao at school, and his son came to the rescue, Huang Mao fell a crushing fracture, and his son was imprisoned, but Xiao Fat never appeared again like a person who had nothing to do.
The son hates his father and vows to stand against him, but he only does the skin, and in essence, like his father, he has only weak goodness. As the saying goes, your kindness would be meaningless without teeth!
Kara also connects reality.
In the film, Carla was clearly marked with a price of 5,000 yuan! The second eldest's salary is a few hundred yuan a month, the private money he has painstakingly hidden for many years is only 1500 yuan, and the joint property of the husband and wife is only 30,000 yuan! Looking around, Pig only saw four words: Man is not as good as a dog!
Regarding the second eldest, there are some interesting details in the film that are worth savoring.
The second brother came out of the mahjong room, his friend asked him to borrow money, the second brother clearly did not want to borrow money, but also pretended to be generous, groping on the body for half a day, the other party recognized his tricks, sadly left. The second did not go far, cheered in the bicycle stall, and pretended to ask the other party how much money, the other party wanted two cents, he took out a hundred yuan bill, the other party could not find it, had to wave his hand to let him leave.
Two details, the second brother with two riot operations to get out smoothly, we can imagine how calculating this person has to be! But the same irony is that in buying a dog, the clever he was calculated, cheated of 300 yuan, and also entered the game!
To put it bluntly, the reality that Carla exposed is that the second oldest is the bottom of society, such a person is looked down upon in daily life, he superficially loves dogs, but in fact, ye Gonghaolong, is to find a weaker animal than himself to live the addiction of being a master.
The film explains very clearly, when the second brother and Carla really came into close contact, Carla acted indifferently and resistant.
At the end of the film, Carla was rescued, the second brother found the fig leaf, the film ended abruptly, and the dead knots on the second brother's body were still not untied and perhaps did not have to be untied.
Is it lucky or unfortunate for him that a wreck is still alone, living numbly by a dog?
