Three Gorges Good Man Film Review

There is a huge relationship between film and literature, so among many China directors, some people like to use historical themes to make their own understanding and analysis of the nation and the times. And some directors consciously assume the responsibility of recording history. They focus on the current social environment and attack people's hearts based on real life. Jia is such a director who records reality.

In his films, the audience can always find that truth and fiction coexist, even more than fiction, which is the personal style of director Jia. He is like a historian, writing history books in the form of movies. Of course, his works are mainly about the changing scenes of the China era and the living conditions of the lower marginal figures. We can always vaguely discover the great events that have happened in China in recent decades from his film works. This article is about such a movie. He truly depicts the living conditions of small people in social life, which is very grounded. This seemingly boring movie is like a treasure, writing the history of little people.

The director used a long lens to show the magnificent immigrants to the audience just right, and vividly recorded a great project of benefiting the country and the people in China at the end of the 20th century like a sculpture. In this work, the choice of music adds a lot of color to the whole film. The soundtrack at the beginning of the film uses the background music tone in the ancient folk art "Lin Chong", which establishes the emotional tone of the film and also metaphors this group of people. These immigrants who are on their way home, like Lin Chong who ran away from home, are filled with endless bitterness, helplessness and desolation.

Han Sanming and Shen Hong, two strangers who have traveled thousands of miles to Fengjie to find their loved ones, have similar feelings. With the collapse of buildings and the rise of water level, the once peaceful and beautiful life is disappearing, people's true feelings are disappearing, and those rich cultures are disappearing ... The original life track is gradually blurred and disappeared.

Han Sanming traveled thousands of miles from Shanxi alone to the ancient city of Fengjie, which was about to be flooded, looking for his wife Ma Yaomei, who was bought 16 years ago. In his eyes, there are dilapidated and hurried Fengjie Old Town, Jianghu artists with magic, motorcycle boys who try their best to make money, immigrants who ask about the implementation of policies around the leaders, and the striking words "Phase III water level line156.3m". All people are struggling at the bottom of society around money, their own interests and the most basic survival problems, and this process is so tragic and shocking.

In Fengjie, Han Sanming met Mark. This so-called mark is actually a rogue, but Jia shows his sense of justice in this character. What a punk. He no longer muddles along, but has more feelings. He has been worried about whether the current social environment is suitable for them, because the characters in the film are too nostalgic. When people's survival is in crisis, the so-called truth and justice are often ignored, and Han Sanming's true feelings in the film are even more valuable. In this chapter called "Smoke", the scene of building demolition appeared for the first time, which indicates the beginning of disappearance and the irretrievability of the disappeared things.

In the film, Han Sanming, who is looking for his wife and children, joins the demolition team and earns 50 yuan money one day. In the film, he and his workmates use RMB to recall the plot of their hometown, which is the highest praise for the true feelings. Neither money nor power can stop our memories and attachment to our homeland, but immigration means that the fallen leaves will float forever. While the workers are tearing down the house in full swing, on the other side are people who are focusing on spraying alcohol disinfectant. The contrast between the two forms a strong contrast, which makes people move.

It's like the building has been cut open, with banners, awards or posters of Jay Chou hanging on the wall, revealing everyone's living conditions and spiritual world before the demolition. But all this has changed and been abolished with the construction of the Three Gorges Project.

The reality is so funny, the waves behind it seem natural, so the magical color of the film is logical. The director used surrealism to make a UFO appear in the sky, and only two outsiders, Han Sanming and Shen Hong, saw it. On Fengjie Day, everyone in the quilt and the new city was immersed in the pursuit of money and interests and the struggle for survival. Shen Hong traveled all the way from Shaanxi to Fengjie, looking for her husband Guo Bin who had not come home for two years. At this time, Xi Bing has become a contractor and has another wife in Fengjie. After many twists and turns, he found his wife, Shen Hong, and decisively filed for divorce. In the factory where Guo Bin came, a group of people begging for compensation had a fierce quarrel with the factory director: by the river, 16-year-old girl who wanted to be a nanny was lonely and embarrassed; Next to the highway is the intricate ancient base site of Han Dynasty being issued; And that dilapidated building collapses from time to time. All the scenes give the truest portrayal of reality and worry about the disappearing culture.

Among the four chapters of "cigarettes, wine, tea and sugar", the last chapter is the most intriguing. People who live in misery and pain need the sweetness of sugar. Maybe this is just an extravagant hope, but this desire is enough to warm people's hearts. The entertainment life of migrant workers can only be to watch vulgar performances, but it is also a rare spiritual sustenance. Like a madman, the people who demolished the building wrote the word "demolition" all over the old city of Fengjie. There is a touching scene in the film, in which three opera characters, Liu, Guan and Zhang, are around the table or playing games or saying nothing about food. True feelings seem to exist only in stories, and the true feelings in real life have been drowned out by surging monetarism, interest relations and the hardships of survival. The reality is so confusing, everything is so confusing. Reality is sometimes cruel, and Mark's death strongly proves this.

In that chaotic and cruel environment, violence is respected. The theme song of "Shanghai Beach" under the pile of bricks renders a kind of heart-wrenching sadness and pain. Han Sanming found Ma Yaomei, and she promised to go with Sanming. Their concept of happiness is simple, just a piece of white rabbit toffee. Their feelings are as bland as that collapsed building, but they are crashing and fierce. At this time, the music of "Lin Chong Running at Night" sounded again, and there was a sad agitation of a hero's stranger. At this time, the third-phase water level line of 156.3 meters will not pass through everything behind, and all people will begin to walk in a piece of disappearance and unknown. Jia Dao's movies are like this, which makes people daydream in the endless unknown. Perhaps, this is also the normal state of small people in life, with mixed tastes and rich colors.
