Appreciation of Jia's American Literature: Jia's Movies

I have seen all Jia's films, from Shan Jutu to Shan Jutu, and even his quasi-commercial film A Story of Twenty-four Cities for real estate companies. I have carefully watched it twice. But if you ask me which movie of Jia's I like best, it beats me. As far as I'm concerned, his movies are my favorite, but there are two, and they are even numbers, so I can't choose: which one is him? Hometown trilogy? Ren Xiaoyao, the last movie, is a famous Three Gorges man.

Like what? Hometown trilogy? Like the frustrated heroes in the first two movies, Binbin and Xiaoji in Ren Xiaoyao are still losers. In movies, they often whizzed through the street on big motorcycles with cigarettes in their mouths. And behind this noise, they seem to have nothing but their buddies, and their vibrant youth and alternative love are also close to reality. The saddest thing is that the family behind them is as cold as ice, and they are almost no way back. Finally, they decided to take risks and rob the bank together, committing the most brutal crime.

Under the gloomy sky, in the almost empty city, two young people step by step towards the abyss of life in the general sense, but they seem to have no choice but to go on. In this way, a movie doesn't need any criticism, satire or curse, but it makes people shudder.

At the end of the film, Bin Bin was arrested for robbing a bank, and the cynical old policeman asked him to sing a song. Binbin sang Richie Jen's "Ren Xiaoyao": Let me be sad or regret, you don't know how to hate heaven; Let me suffer, make me tired, and be happy with the wind. Heroes are not afraid of being born too weak, but are proud of their ambition.

In the bizarre world, people's pursuit of freedom has never stopped. Although the winners are dazzling, the efforts of the losers never fade, and sometimes they are even more thought-provoking and touching. This is perhaps the most touching place for Ren Xiaoyao, and it is also the most lethal emotional weapon for almost all Jia's films.

Besides, the Three Gorges good people. In 2006, the Three Gorges Good Man won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, which was really good news for China films at that time. Since Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige switched to commercial films, China films have been silent in the three major international film festivals for many years. Some people say that in the first decade of the 2 1 century, China films won international respect because of Jia. At that time, many people were not convinced, but now it seems to be true.

Under the foggy sky of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, a miner named Han Sanming went to the local area to find his ex-wife and children in the sentimental and turbulent atmosphere of the relocation of the Three Gorges Project. At the same time, a female nurse named Shen Hong went to the local area to look for her husband who had been avoiding her. Finding and waiting is not easy. During this period, different kinds of life appeared in front of them, watching everything happen in front of us, and then some went out, some stayed away, some stayed, leaving only helplessness.

The following are some fragments of the Three Gorges Good Man:

Workers asked Han Sanming if he had seen Kuimen, but Han Sanming saidno. Workers took out a ten-dollar bill and told him that Kuimen was printed on the back of the bill. Han Sanming immediately took out a fifty-dollar bill with Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River printed on the back, which is his hometown. This cross talk in the movie is like a burden, which makes people feel deeply. How much do we know about our hometown and country?

Shen Hong found her husband Guo Bin, and she knew it was too late. But when Guo Bin held out his hand to her, he still held his hand. With the Three Gorges Dam under construction as the background, in a pile of huge rocks, they were detached from things and danced. Is this an episode of life or an eternal continuation of life?

Han Sanming finally sat down with his ex-wife who left that year:

? Where are my children? Han said:

? Working in the south. ? Her ex-wife answered it.

? Isn't this the south?

? In Dongguan, further south. ?

? Is your current husband good to you?

? Not a husband, run the boat with him for me to eat. ?

? You are much darker than before. ?

? And older. ?

? I am so good to you, you must run.

? At that time, he was too young to understand. ?

I always thought this passage was all I saw in the movie? Reunion of old love? The most touching, textured and embarrassing one on the scene has never been surpassed.

At the end of the film, the workmates are going to Shanxi Coal Mine with Han Sanming, and Han Sanming tells them that it is not easy to get into the mine. Go down in the morning, I don't know if I can come up at night. The workers were silent for an instant. For a long time, the glasses touched again; When the camera flashed, it was Han Sanming and his workmates carrying their bedclothes. The heaviness and solemnity of life are between near and far, static and dynamic.

Ren Xiaoyao and the Three Gorges Good Man, I really can't choose the one I like better. I am young and frivolous. Like Binbin and Xiaoji, I had an ideal in a small corner of China, but I was always only one step away from annihilation. Now, I'm a little older, and like Han Sanming and Shen Hong, I'm nostalgic, frustrated and struggling, but I still want to keep the light of human nature that has precipitated in my heart. I think which of Jia's two films I like, just like which one I value more and what kind of myself I value. Who can simply choose?
