The three primary colors of "The Island Keeper"

The film "Shoudao Man", which reflects the advanced deeds of Wang Jicai, a "model of the people", has won word of mouth with a touching artistic language, leaving a lot of memorable points. The creators firmly grasp the spiritual pursuit of the strivers of the new era, based on telling Chinese stories well, and properly control the emotional color of the film, thus triggering people's long-term thinking and realistic understanding. Red blood is the spiritual foundation conveyed by the film Director Chen Li has directed many films that closely follow the pulse of the times over the years, and is good at echoing the resonance of the audience with positive energy themes. This time, she told the story of ordinary heroes through "Island Keeper", showing the extraordinary life of Wang Jicai and his wife, and also using poetic directing techniques to set off waves in the hearts of thousands of people. For 32 years, for Wang Jicai and his wife, boring, monotonous, lonely, and watchful, just to let the five-star red flag rise on the isolated island every day. The five-star red flag raised is the inheritance of the red bloodline. The film focuses on the details of raising the flag: Wang Jicai and Wang Shihua wave the national flag and rescue the national flag in the fierce wind and rain, it can be said that the national flag is more precious than life in their hearts. The national flag is a symbol of the country, and it is also an important prop and spiritual symbol throughout the film. Wang Jicai and his wife have raised a total of 368 national flags in the past 32 years, and when these national flags and the diary they wrote about the island enter the audience's field of vision, the sacred feelings will inevitably rise in the hearts of the audience. In the film, Wang Jicai's old father is silent and taciturn, but he tells a story of the past affectionately: during the Battle of the River Crossing, he was a former migrant worker. The father of Wang Changjie, the head of the county people's armed forces department, saved the lives of many former migrant workers, but he himself sacrificed himself in the monstrous rivers and rivers, on the bloody road to liberating all of China. He buried a knot in his heart, that is, his gratitude to Wang Changjie's father. Therefore, the old father is a staunch supporter of Wang Jicai Shoudao. As a militia battalion commander, Wang Jicai has the responsibility to support Wang Changjie's work, and he also has the obligation to repay the favor with such behavior, the favor of the individual, and the favor of the family and the country. Personal feelings and family feelings are thus blended together. In real life, when the deeds of Wang Jicai and his wife spread, the reporter went to interview Wang Shihua and found that her legs had serious problems due to her long-term life on the island, but she still insisted on raising the flag and letting the five-star red flag fly high on Kaishan Island. From her eyes, she can see her love for Kaishan Island, and she can also see her love for the country. Without this affection, it would not be enough to support her to continue Wang Jicai's career. They stand firmly on a small island far from the land, in order to defend every inch of the motherland. The fictional character XiaoDouzi in the film is the epitome of the soul of ordinary people who advocate heroes and yearn for the sublime. The young Xiaodouzi came to Kaishan Island to find his father's grave, accidentally fell into the sea, and was rescued by Wang Jicai. His father was a company commander guarding Kaishan Island, and Xiao Douzi followed his father and became a person who watched over the "island keeper". Xiao Douzi was grateful, helping and guarding Wang Jicai and his wife, so that they could gain spiritual comfort in their loneliness. What Xiao Douzi inherited was also a wisp of red blood surging in his heart. Blue loneliness is the protagonist's persistence and persistence The sky is blue, the water is blue, the picture color of the movie "Island Keeper" is mainly blue, and the opening chapter is the scene of the protagonist Wang Jicai fighting with the blue sea. Blue, is lonely, is cold, is melancholy, is sentimental. And blue, again, is the strong emotional color created by the film. Kaishan Island is a desolate island, lonely and shadowy, and every person who guards the island faces a great test in his heart. When Wang Jicai's savage-like image appeared on the screen, that kind of heart-wrenching really involved every moviegoer. His rough skin, disheveled beard, worn-out clothes, and mosquito bite scars, but his gaze was determined and persistent. On the lonely island, he stood at the head of the tide of the wind and the rolling waves, and the resolute gaze behind the telescope faintly showed a hint of depth and melancholy, like Robinson wandering on a desert island. This image is enough to make people believe that he is such a person: as long as the organization trusts me for one day, I will not leave the island for a day; if you trust me for a lifetime, I will not leave the island for a lifetime. Someone once asked about Wang Jicai's experience of going to the island for the first time, and he said, "It's really like a year." During the 48 days of his initial isolation, Wang Jicai gradually understood the value of this job, the equipment for measuring meteorology, hydrology, tides, etc. on the island needed to be maintained, the barracks left behind by the troops needed to be cleaned, and daily patrols, flag raising, observation, and maintenance were all his work. In addition to hard work, Wang Jicai also has his own happiness. He experimented with planting trees and vegetables on the island, pried oysters to put crab cages when rushing to the sea, and tapped the washbasin to remind passing ships. "The microcosm of dust and fog replenishes the mountains and seas; the last light of the candle increases the brightness of the sun and the moon." In order to accompany Wang Jicai, who guarded the island, Wang Shihua resigned from his job as a teacher. "You guard the island, I guard you", and the loneliness of one person becomes the companionship of two people. The boundless blue has been immersed in the hearts of Wang Jicai and his wife, and the lonely island life has sublimated their spiritual world. In the stormy night, the scene where Wang Jicai delivered his wife was so tense that it was almost suffocating. There are no medical conditions, only a hand-cranked phone for help, the life and death of mother and child are unknown... When the cries of children break through the rainy night of lightning and thunder, when the tyrannical sea calms down into silence, this vast blue is full of a kind of sacredness. This scene also interprets the protagonist's tenacious vitality and self-improvement spirit to the extreme, and the blue shows a kind of strength. The role of the daughter is very clear in the film. Because her father's salary was not high, her daughter dropped out of school to work to support her family and support her younger brother. Wang Jicai went down to the island and saw his daughter working in the rotten fish and shrimp, and couldn't help but burst into tears. But when the daughter saw her tired father, she realized his father's difficulty and chose to forgive his father. The hardships of life, Wang Jicai's guilt, and his daughter's understanding make people sad and tearful. The father-daughter affection is vividly released at this moment, cleverly getting rid of the stereotypical portrayal. The narrative style of the film presents a calm blue here. Green Hope is the emotional resonance of the vast audience Kaishan Island is located in the outpost of the Yellow Sea, with an area of only 0.013 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of two football fields. Except for a few rows of empty old barracks on the island, it was deserted and the sea breeze. Green symbolizes natural peace, green represents hope, and green vitality is needed here. It can be realized that the director uses green emotional colors in the film to vigorously infuse the consciousness of life. Everyone waits in the gift box of life for fate to come, or rather, life is waiting. The inner world of Wang Jicai and his wife must also have a kind of waiting, even if it is not known, it is still full of hope. Every detail of "The Guardian of the Island" makes us feel nostalgic, let us perceive the greatness of life, and the creator actively sows green hope in it, and gradually blends the tone of hope. The film adopts a chronicle film structure, from Wang Jicai's arrival on the island in 1986 to his death in 2018, and the story is interspersed back and forth between the isolated island and the mainland. The mainland is a stage of human sophistication, stirring up the great changes of the times, and the island is a pure Robinsonian life. Wang Jicai and his wife planted trees, vegetables and roads on the island, so that the island gradually had a little greenery. They show no mercy to smugglers, uphold justice, and insist on poverty. Of course, they also have their own happiness and satisfaction, such as elaborate conch ornaments, playing cards with the puppies, and singing together with the couple, which fully express their longing and desire for a happy life. With the unfolding of the plot and the creation of emotions, the audience hopes that Kaishan Island will emerge a day early into a vibrant world of green waters and green mountains. When the warship sailed to Kaishan Island, the soldiers who had guarded Kaishan Island gave a sacred military salute to Wang Jicai and his wife; when their sons took over the baton and inherited their cause to protect the motherland's ten thousand miles of sea frontiers; when the ending song "I Guard You with My Life" sounded, the real daily life of Wang Jicai and his wife appeared on the screen... With the continuous laying out and continuous foiling of green emotional colors, the green of hope is also full of the land and mountains of the motherland.
