If extramarital affairs and domestic violence are the fatal injuries of marriage, then those who should leave must be separated. If there is no little three who has not cheated and has no domestic violence, then why should we choose divorce? The movie "Lucky Elevator" explores such a problem, people to middle age, love for ten years, seems to have come to a situation that must be left, but in just a few hours after the elevator encountered a failure, the male and female protagonists through fierce debate, facts are better than eloquence of the still existing feelings, as well as their own calm thinking in a relatively independent space, and finally gave an answer they wanted.
The two people have been together for a long time, and their shortcomings have gradually been exposed. The male protagonist became restless, more and more glassy, constantly all kinds of broken thoughts, unsatisfactory work is all complaining, and even some groundless accusations are pointed at the other party in the marriage, he mistakenly thinks that this is the closest and most beloved person, so he can be unscrupulous. The heroine also often accuses each other of various problems, never considers the problem from the perspective of the other party, is not good at encouraging, often strikes, does not know how to operate, but feels tired.
Liu Tingzuo interprets the male protagonist Cao Xiaojun as real, very comedic, song Ziqiao, who plays Fan Wenjuan, has a movie face, which is very beautiful and very good at acting.
Two people facing the state of marriage are like frightened wild horses, not knowing how to stop their own contrarian steps, seemingly unable to find the root of the problem, and unable to solve the mystery that can be solved. Just like the marriage in "The Siege" is like a walled city, the people inside want to come out, and the people outside want to enter. However, the film turns such a city that has trapped many people into an elevator, and more vividly expresses how to work together to avoid risks and run your own small life in a small space.
Director and screenwriter Yan Fei still has his own unique views on marriage, and it is precisely because he is self-written and self-directed, so in the handling and grasp of many details, it is still very reasonable, and it hides some seemingly simple and random pictures and props, but it is a sharp point to point out the real situation of men and women in the marital state.
The scene is set in the old house where the hero and heroine once lived, and they don't come back often, but it looks more like the home they met when they got married, which means that they may have forgotten why they came together in the first place? Two people trapped in the elevator, more like the true portrayal of "marriage is the graveyard of love" in the eyes of many people, the meaning is very profound, sometimes always want to escape, may find a skylight, but in fact, it is impossible to escape, because you have to face all the problems, only encounter problems to solve the problem is king. The male protagonist has always treasured a red wine bottle opener, which is good for a person, a promise to a person, and a man's responsibility and responsibility. Similarly, the trophy that the male protagonist has always kept is a true portrayal of the hope of being respected by the other party. Children are still an indispensable reconciliation in marriage, more like the glue and lubricant of marriage, and you have to admit the existence of such a reality. Eventually, the elevator stopped on the ninth floor, what a beautiful allegory.
Simple stories, not complicated scenes, for the shooting requirements and processing, are quite complicated. Especially after the male and female protagonists are trapped in the elevator, if they want to interpret the story more richly, they must break the dilemma and find a breakthrough. Especially the female protagonist in the elevator sunroof after the tears do not stop, the male protagonist in the elevator skylight after the tears, to achieve the same scene of the same resonance effect, may usually be too anxious too dry, when alone in such a relatively independent space, only to find that it is inseparable from each other, or want to experience this marriage. The so-called "divorce cooling-off period" in reality must have meant this at first, whether it is controversial or opposed, in fact, calm thinking does have a meaning.
The story is reasonable, and the ending is unexpected. The film not only helps us find the answer through the fable story of "One Thousand and One Nights", which is easy to understand. In the same way, when the elevator maintenance worker arrived, a different way was used, allowing us to see that marriage is "the authorities are fans, and the bystanders are clear". The real solution to the marriage dilemma will not be an outsider, and the help of outsiders will only be the point, handing you tools, how to repair, or the marriage parties themselves. This kind of meaning of seeing through and not saying broken, let the audience feel empathy, marriage, must be operated, knocking, tight and loose, the result will only make the marriage more solid.
What is love? What is marriage? I think that the movie "Lucky Elevator" has given the answer, meeting you, not an accident, is the luck of this life.
