Ask, what did you ever watch a crying movie called?
Strangely enough, as a child, I didn't have any concept of tragic drama I don't understand why my parents secretly wipe away tears while watching a movie Also lied to you that it was yawning Some movies were watched happily as children When I grew up, I cried and watched
That's what this movie is
I didn't know Zheng Zeshi before
Just remember to call "Fat Cat"
Now I know
I still call him
Fat cat.
Why Me? 》
This movie is self-directed and self-acted by Zheng Zeshi, the screenwriter is Huang Baiming, I did not expect to amuse us a childhood "happy ghost", writing a tragedy is still the same tear-inducing.
This is not a commercial film, but it almost became the box office champion of that era, and Zheng Zeshi also won awards during that time.
So, where does this movie reach God?
Character One: Fat Cat
Pure is simple, neuropathy is neuropathy, the two are not the same
The fat cat has the body of an adult, but the burly body contains the head of a child
He was born incompetent, but he was sensible, just a small child
He knows how to help his mother, he knows how to greet people, he doesn't make noise, he doesn't drool
Monica will sing to the beat of raindrops out of tune
But he has always been called neurotic, the villagers avoid him, and the bullies bully him
Only the same innocent child, willing to play with him
He was not wrong, just born in the wrong era, just "bad fate"
He wanted to help his mom, but it was self-defeating every time
Mom and Dad are the spiritual pillars of Fat Cats, so when Mom dies, Fat Cats stop smiling
When Mom and Dad were insulted, he finally resisted and picked up a kitchen knife
Not because he was incompetent, so he picked up the knife, but because of the times, because fate finally drove an honest man crazy
Character two: Fat cat mother
For the mother is just
Fat cat mom is the deepest maternal impression in my heart
The fat cat lives in the countryside, the father died early, and the thin mother survives by selling tofu flowers, but the bitterness of life, the fat cat does not know, because his mother alone bears all the sorrow.
The mother sells tofu flowers and will be chased by the patrolling police.
Every time it rains in the house, there are also various tin cans to catch the rainwater that leaks in.
Every time the neighbor came to greet him, he only wanted to borrow something, but he never paid it back, and he also scolded his son for being neurotic.
The husband died, but he still had to lie to the fat cat, saying that his father was going to the United States to sell stinky tofu and give the fat cat hope of survival
The fat cat is simple and sensible, but he is bullied by bullies every day, goes to work to wash dishes and messes up people's bowls.
As a mother, she has endured too much pressure, too much heartache, and a lot of suffering that cannot be described.
The only time my mother broke out was talking to her social worker Koko about the fat cat's second half of her life
She hated the environment at that time, the people at the bottom could not get help, she hated those who said that their son was neurotic, she hated her unfair fate, but she had no choice, she beat the fat cat who was bullied by the bully, and she could only sprinkle anger on the fat cat.
She also resents that the fat cat is a low-energy child, but she is a mother, or chose to pull the fat cat alone to grow up, alone to endure everyone's strange eyes.
Until I finally fell ill.
The death of the fat cat's mother was a tear point, and the mother's death did not close her eyes.
She still wants to live because she's gone, what about the fat cat?
Theme: Harsh Reality
Harsh social reality
The film is more about showing us the hardships of people at the bottom of society and social workers
Social worker Koko is bent on helping the Fat Cat family, but there are too many helpless policies and helpless people who need help
Director Zhou opened a few drawers full of information and told Koko that there are too many families like fat cats under the sky, and he also wants to help fat cats first, but if he helps, what about other people who are equally hard?
Social workers try very hard to help people in need, but they always get a notice that "wait a few more years and you'll be lined up."
This is also why Director Zhou has always stressed that we should not invest in feelings, because we are not omnipotent
Social workers can only provide care and help, but they still cannot change the fundamental suffering of the people at the bottom
It's like koko tried to help the fat cat family apply for relief benefits several times, but it has not been successful
How ironic it is that social workers cannot invest in emotions
Also, why do fat cats fear the police?
This is also worth pondering
I would like to know what kind of things the "happy ghost" Huang Baiming has experienced before he would write such a script with such indignation and give this story a "Why should there be me?" "Such a name.
As the fat cat mother often says, all this is bad fate.
