"The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", this is the first work of Xie Jin's reflection trilogy.
Although its criticism was insufficient, it still attracted a lot of controversy at the time.
What is deficient is that it puts political reflection in the aftermath and pushes ethics and morality ahead, and moral criticism and reflection greatly exceed politics.
Why?
Director Xie Jin once said:
Our future films are going to tell people what is true, good, and beautiful, the combination of Luo and Feng, and we are going to prepare a big book to turn upside down moral standards.
This is for its personal reasons.
Of course, there are also reasons for the times, which will not be elaborated here.
The love of the film is obviously fascinating, because he is pure and beautiful, and after comparing Song Wei and Wu Yao, it is even more precious.
As good sisters, Song Wei and Feng Qinglan actually have a common admiration for Luo Qun, but at first we see that Feng Qinglan gave up her personal admiration and took the initiative to help the good sister Song Wei and promote her and Luo Qun's union.
"I have observed for you, this is a pure crystal-like person, if you want to love him, you have to take the initiative, or you will miss the opportunity." 」
Although Feng Qinglan was observing for Song Wei, he was actually observing for herself.
After that, there was Song Wei's initiative, and a big white horse completely fulfilled them.
In the face of Song Wei's success in pursuing love, Feng Qinglan said:
"Bless you, a sincere and fiery heart you have found."
The film's praise for Luo Qun again and again is said through the mouth of Feng Qinglan, and it can be seen from his eyes that this is from the heart, but for the sake of good sisters, giving up personal happiness highlights the deep sisterly love and Feng Qinglan's selfless innocence.
Even after Song Wei abandoned Luo Qun, Feng Qinglan still did not give up on saving Luo Qun through Song Wei, but she still paid by mistake.
At first, Song Wei was under pressure and took the initiative to break off relations with Luo Qun for the sake of her personal future, and her selfish nature was exposed.
But you can see that his heart is also making trade-offs and struggles, but helpless selfishness has the upper hand.
After she and Wu Yao married, in fact, she has always blamed herself and wanted to help Feng Qinglan and Luo Qun, but on the one hand, she hindered her future, on the other hand, she was already married, had a husband and children, and was worried more, and once again let her miss the opportunity for redemption.
Finally, the environment has changed greatly, and Song Wei and Luo Qun have also experienced persecution, so Song Wei is empathetic, of course, she has always been self-blame, guilt, making it difficult for her to sleep, especially after everything is getting better now, Feng Qinglan and Luo Qun still live a miserable life, coupled with the promotion of others, and finally let Song Wei give up her personal interests and go to the road of justice.
For Feng Qinglan, after Song Wei betrayed Luo Qun, her heart was naturally disappointed, but for herself, she could not be like Song Wei, who insisted on justice and principles, and planned to help Luo Qun and be with Luo Qun. "I don't tell lies".
In the face of the complex environment at that time, Feng Qinglan had her own bottom line and principles, of course, she was also stubborn, which was the side that distinguished her from Song Wei.
Seeing that Luo Qun was writing a check, Feng Qinglan said: What do you check?
When Luo Qun asked, "Where exactly is my problem?"
Feng Qinglan was, "I don't think you have any problems."
So simple and clear, but also decisive, reflects Feng Qinglan's personality, but also her identification and understanding of Luo Qun.
When she saw song Wei's letter of severing relations, Feng Qinglan was first surprised, and then looked at Luo Qun with pity and sadness.
From this moment on, Feng Qinglan planned to help Luo Qun and firmly sided with him.
Later, after Luo Qun was sent down, Feng Qinglan became the only person to visit him.
This not only reflected the harshness of the environment at that time, but also saw the indifference of human feelings, only Feng Qinglan was the one who cared about The Love Luo group from beginning to end.
At this time, Feng Qinglan was still happy and happy, because she and Luo Qun came together, and she was recognized by the village lady as Luo Qun's girlfriend.
Seeing that Luo Qun still maintained his hard work in a difficult situation, Feng Qinglan was deeply shocked and inspired.
"I support you", the words were said, and I saw Feng Qinglan's firmness.
After a flash flood, Luo Qun's situation was even worse. And it was also after the failure to ask Song Wei for help at this moment, Feng Qinglan also made up her mind to walk with Luo Qun for the rest of her life.
In the face of the confessional pursuit of colleagues, Feng Qinglan refused.
"It's impossible, assuming he needs to, and I'm determined to be with him"
Still decisive and determined.
And the colleagues even told a lot of reasons, wanted to persuade Feng Qinglan, such as life problems, family, society to look at their vision of the problem, but also asked: Why do you have to carry such a heavy cross.
These things have long been thought out for Feng Qinglan, so she said:
"I'm going to see Luo Qun now, she's sick right now."
When others were worried about various pressures and life problems, Feng Qinglan was ready, and what she was worried about was Luo Qun's physical condition.
This is the unwavering pursuit of love, unswerving, this is true love.
Seeing Luo Qun lying on the hospital bed, Feng Qinglan hugged tightly and cried.
Then prepare to take Luo Qun away.
But at this time, Luo Qun already had a feeling of self-abandonment,
Faced with Luo Qun's refusal.
Feng Qinglan said: Let's go fool, I still have five yuan on me, and five yuan is enough to get married.
There was light in her eyes, because she saw happiness.
At a time when everyone thinks it is suffering, only she sees happiness and beauty, and here the goodness of human nature shines brightly, because she longs for such pure and sincere love, and now she has also received it, so all suffering is not a problem for her.
She pulled the scooter and carried Luo Qun out of the village.
In order to shoot this scene, director Xie Jin took the crew to the northeast to shoot, and finally presented this touching scene, rendering the difficult situation and persistence of Feng Qinglan pulling Luo Qun forward in the snow and wind.
This scene was imitated and reproduced in "Mountains and Seas" at the beginning of the year, which is also deeply moving.
In such a difficult environment, the camera sweeps by and pulls the book, you can see their respect for knowledge and they still do not forget to learn, and they still have hope for the future.
It is also worth noting that Feng Qinglan wears a red turban on her head, and red also appears many times in the film, in addition to the turban and sweater, etc., intended to break the dull atmosphere, give people hope, and represent a better future.
After that, they began a poor material life, but the spiritual life was exuberant and rich.
But I never expected that during the Cultural Revolution, Luo Qun suffered inhumane physical destruction, and Feng Qinglan was also tortured and almost died, but Feng Qinglan did not tell Luo Qun about this matter, even in danger, Feng Qinglan still showed selflessness and innocence, how could such love not be great?
Of course, Feng Qinglan's body was also completely destroyed, facing death at any time, but at this time, she still did not forget to write a letter for Luo Qun's intercession, and she also believed that the future was beautiful, because this was the inevitability of history.
At this moment, Feng Qinglan wrote a letter to Song Wei, in which she did not criticize Song Wei bitterly, but praised her kindness and wisdom, believing that she could recognize the facts and hoped that she would not be a person who hindered the progress of history.
"Goodbye friends of my youth".
The last sentence in the letter shows that Feng Qinglan has no resentment towards Song Wei, and it can be seen that she is tolerant and generous.
Before dying, Feng Qinglan confessed everything, and in the face of Luo Qun's guilt, she said:
"It was you who gave me the most precious revolutionary ideals, convictions, sentiments and love."
These obviously overshadowed everything, allowing Feng Qinglan to fear all difficulties and break through all obstacles.
However, in the end, it was a pity that Feng Qinglan did not hear the good news of Song Wei's enlightenment.
In this film, director Xie Jin began to pay attention to the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature, and carried out artistic portrayal and rendering, and reached the peak of "Wrangler" and "Furong Town".
Material deprivation can make life miserable, but spiritual abundance can resist everything.
Although Feng Qinglan is ordinary but great, his love for Luo Qun is selfless and firm, five dollars of love, the highlight is love, after twenty years of companionship, Feng Qinglan has also obtained such love, so she does not regret.
