In the past few days, the Syrian poison gas cloud incident has become the focus of attention at home and abroad, and the video of the poisoners struggling on the Internet is even more shocking.
We are always living in natural and man-made disasters, and behind these man-made or natural disasters, how should this group of people who have survived "luckily" face their own lives? What if you start a new chapter in your life?
Today, Xiaobian recommends a film with a similar theme for everyone, but in addition to natural disasters and man-made disasters, it more nakedly exposes the darkness and growth of human nature, that is, the Japanese director Yuan Ziwen's "Yongcai" by Yuan Ziwen, a professional B-grade film.
Directed by Enko-wen, the film is based on the manga of the same name by Shiko Furutani, starring Shota Someya and Fumi Nijido.
Set against the backdrop of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear accident, the story tells the story of the desperate youth and transformation of middle school student Sumida, revealing the state of life and the cruel life of people after the disaster.
A great earthquake, and the tsunami and nuclear leak that followed, destroyed the lives of countless people, who were like walking dead in the world while redeeming themselves and destroying themselves.
A fifteen-year-old middle school student living in The Field, after the disaster, lived with his mother and a group of victims and friends in his family's boat yard, and from time to time endured his father's beatings and harassment by debt collectors.
He longs to be a most ordinary person, does not want to be with scum, and wants to be a good adult.
During Sumita's youth, his inhuman father hoped that he would die to get insurance money, and his mother left him and ran away from home.
Sumita, who grew up in such an environment, seems to be full of numbness and despair in his eyes, he is not good at talking, deliberately arming himself, but in the repeated injuries, he erupts his inner dissatisfaction and grief about the status quo of survival.
Among Sumita's classmates, Chazawa is the only one who appreciates and likes him, and she is also the one who makes Sumita change and be reborn. She recorded every wonderful quote of Sumita, and took care of herself to break into his life, crazy but with some cuteness of the middle two.
Chazawa is a simple girl, but endured too much life unbearable, she and Sumita experienced a similar family background, but still with the most simple worship and love of Sumita, so that life is always full of color.
A person wants an ordinary life, but heaven has allowed him to experience the ruthless crushing of a cruel life.
In the step-by-step trap set by life, Sumida finally stepped out of the cordon and committed an unforgivable crime, and his self-destructive behavior is even more regrettable and unbearable.
Sumita is unfortunate because he has experienced too many real-life fears that his peers can't stand; he is also lucky because by his side, there are a group of friends who really care about him.
If a friend is the skeleton of Sumita's life, then Chazawa must be the blood in Sumida's body.
It was she, with a persistent love, who guarded him and saved him.
No one could have imagined that it was such a middle school girl who became a turning point in Sumita's fate and became a growth partner who accompanied him to the end.
The film "Yongcai" was nominated for the Golden Lion Award at the 68th Venice Film Festival, and the protagonist Someya Shota and Fumi Nijido also won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival.
At the same time, the powerful soy sauce group composed of Suzuki Apricot, Yoshitaka Yuriko, nishijima Takahiro, etc. in the film also became a highlight of the film.
From the perspective of film and television style and tone, "Mediocre Talent" is dark, violent and bloody, and also symbolic. There are too many meanings hidden in the film, which also reflects the image style of director Yuan Ziwen.
The people in the film are all abnormal, a group of people who have suffered from the hardships of life, people who have wandered on the edge of life, seem to be mentally abnormal.
And the true reflection of them in such a state is the cruelty of human nature.
From killing, to being killed, from being a madman, to taking care of my own life. People full of devastation, in this question mark-filled, cruel and ruthless society, have to choose to use their lives as memories to "kill themselves".
Sumita said: Ordinary is the best.
The film reflects the extraordinary experiences of an ordinary group of people. After the great creation, people demand a kind of never-ending ordinariness in life and the inner turmoil, but they can never break free from the trauma.
"Life in the world, not hard work has results."
This spiritual emptiness and negative energy have impacted people's hearts again and again.
In addition, the film also reveals the living conditions and growth process of young people.
In the time when they have vigorous memories in their youth, they use their maximum resistance and dissatisfaction with life and true fate, from not accepting defeat, to admitting defeat, to finally numbness, which is the great change brought about by growth.
They are resentful and self-destructive after stubborn resistance.
The depiction of this dark road in the film is so depressing that it is difficult to breathe.
There is nothing cruel in the world.
The film does not end with this suffocating darkness.
The warmth and hope brought by the ending make this film full of negative energy "negative and positive", turning into a redemption film full of hope.
The so-called desperate situation is like this.
After a heart-wrenching encounter, he seized the last light of life.
Some people just live and do their best.
Don't seek happiness, as long as there is no blandness of catastrophe, you are already very happy.
