tearjerker director

Chapter 1217 From now on I am a lonely child

"A Lang's Story" can be said to be too special, especially in this era, such an authentic old Hong Kong-style movie is too special for old movie fans and old movie critics.

These years are not to say that period dramas have not been made, but they have always been to cater to the tastes of the current audience. It can be said that many times, many things have changed.

Even those old directors who were very good at making old Hong Kong movies back then seem to have forgotten the feeling of the past in the movies they made.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the style of the movie is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because of the different stories.

People of different ages have great changes in cognition. It can be said that they didn’t have to work hard to make this kind of movie in the past, but now they want to make a story like this, but they have too many concerns. .

And the most likable thing is because this is a story about "ordinary people".

Yes, in this year and month, it is even difficult for you to see the stories of "ordinary people" on the big screen.

Why do you say that?

Aren't there many stories about little people?
Veteran film critic Li Qing used this theme to express why he likes this movie so much.

"In the past, many people asked, what is the essence of old Hong Kong films? What is the difference between the old Hong Kong films that you miss and the current films?
After thinking about it a lot, I finally came to a conclusion that the old Hong Kong films in the past always had a "breath of life", and many of the stories they told were about little people.

Some people may ask, isn't there a lot of stories about little people now?

But is that really a small person?
Not in my opinion.

The so-called little people, to put it bluntly, are just us, the audience.

So, if a movie doesn't move you, make you remember, make you feel what you were, make you feel some kind of emotional resonance, then sorry, it's really not us little people.

"A Lang's Story" is undoubtedly the story of a small person.

A man like A Lang, even to some extent, is a role model for many men.

Many people used to regard young and Dangerous boys as idols. This is a ridiculous thing for adults, because adults only divide the pros and cons, while young people don't care about the long-term.

Therefore, you must show loyalty when you come out, and only young people will be serious.

Therefore, every teenager may have once been a prodigal son, or they may have imagined living like A Lang when he was young.

Of course Ah Lang is not a good man, he is a prodigal son, no matter how much you hate such a person, you cannot deny that he is riding on a motorcycle with a cigarette in his mouth, he is cool and handsome when he is running fast.

Men are not bad, women do not love.Whether in movies or in reality, such examples emerge in endlessly.The prodigal son Alang, with weird long hair, is suave and uninhibited.Such an idiosyncratic and rebellious man naturally caught the eyes of Bo Bo, a rich girl who was used to seeing too many ordinary people.

A Lang is an excellent racing driver, and his masculine aura makes Bobo feel that he is a heroic figure, not an easy one.Women all worship the strong and real men. Manly men are not immune to women.

In fact, even if this is put into reality, it is still happening non-stop. Isn't it said that in the campus, bad children always attract people's attention more than good children?
Rebellious children are often more popular than well-behaved children.

At that age, A Lang didn't know what a couple is for a lifetime, and Bobo didn't know that A Lang was romantic, nor did he know the consequences of being with a bastard like A Lang who didn't have a serious job.But she had no hesitation, disregarded her parents' opposition, and regardless of tomorrow, she resolutely eloped with A Lang.She thought that A Lang would treat her wholeheartedly, but she forgot that a prodigal son who had held many pairs of green hands, how could he give up the whole forest for a single tree?

She paid the price for her waywardness. Not only was she cheated by A Lang, but she was also abused by A Lang. The child was born prematurely and could no longer have children.

Although Bobo in the movie seems to be deeply hurt, this is not an exaggeration at all, because this is reality.

This is why most people's first love is unforgettable, but they can't go to the end.

After suffering a loss, Bobo finally understood what kind of man can be entrusted to him for life.So when she fell in love again, she found an honest man who was successful in his career, gentle and gentle, tolerant and caring for her.He didn't care whether she could bear children at all, and even for her, he could accept Bo Tsai.

The director's brilliance, or what makes the movie not disgusting is that Alang is not a "big man" from the beginning to the end, nor does Bobo continue to be "blind". Her new boyfriend, from beginning to end They are all very "real" and "normal" people.

He may be jealous, but he will never vent his anger. His tolerance for Bobo is in stark contrast to Alang.

And this is the truth, people can grow, let alone a woman like Bobo who has received such a painful lesson.

But even such a perfect man, Bobo didn't cherish it in the end.He resolutely returned to A Lang's side, maybe bad men are always more attractive to women than honest men.No matter how bad a bad man was to her, no matter how kind an honest man was to her, in her heart it was not as good as the smile of a bad man.

After Ah Lang died, it was foreseeable that Bobo would still take Bozai to the United States to find his boyfriend, and an honest man would take over. I don't know if it was a blessing or a tragedy.But who can change the eternal truth that men are not bad and women are not in love?

Injuries make women grow up, and in the same way, women teach men to grow up, and Bobo's departure made A Lang, a prodigal son, grow up overnight.A Lang, who was once bohemian and irresponsible, changed his mind and resolutely took on the important task of taking care of his young son after he was released from prison.

In order for Bozai to grow up happily, Alang did not remarry.He raised Bozai alone. Although he was only a truck driver and his life was not rich, he gave Bozai infinite love.Let Bo Tsai, who lacks maternal love, feel a strong father's love.

Father and son are deeply affectionate and share weal and woe.The two's photo stickers were posted in the dilapidated house, and the father and son teased each other, played and played, and had fun in the hard days.

In ten years, things have changed and stars have changed, but deep in Alang's heart, he still thinks of a woman named Bobo.This woman once loved him deeply and was desperate for him, but he failed her, hurt her, and caused regret that could never be recovered.

It was his own fault that he hadn't been a good husband and caused Bobo to leave.He wants to reunite his old dream, but the reality no longer allows him, so he can only transfer his love to Bo Tsai, the crystallization of their love.

His love for Bozai can be said to be everything. Bozai likes Shar Pei dogs. He emptied his savings and bought them for him.He forced Poppy to leave and beat Poppy hard.After Bozai left, this stubborn man shed helpless tears.

If A Lang can turn back as soon as possible, how happy and happy the family will be.But people are always young and frivolous when they are young, and make mistakes that will never turn back.The price a woman makes a man grow up is too great.

Of course, the movie is also sensational, which is director Li Yi's forte.

After watching the movie, we can't help wondering, how can a prodigal son like A Lang, such a "bad man" be forgiven?
Yes, why?
But after watching the movie, I believe that many people will find it difficult to dislike this prodigal son, this bad man, and even to a certain extent, they will still like him, and they will still have mixed feelings in their hearts.

Director Li Yi's cleverness lies in this. What can make people have such complicated and contradictory emotions?
In fact, in terms of love, A Lang suffered a crushing defeat, and there was nothing to wash away. Therefore, the director did not pay much attention to this aspect.

More on the family relationship, father-son relationship.

People have to bear too much in this life, and feelings are undoubtedly the most difficult to let go.Among family love and friendship, family love is the most unforgettable. After all, blood is thicker than water.Simple and almost a movie that reproduces life, but it has a shocking power.When Bozai and his father were having lunch on the construction site, Bozai promised his father that he would buy him a big house and a good car and take him around the world. Bozai’s tone was full of confidence and immature, and his father was relieved and a little tired Smiles seem familiar, did you have the same promise when you were a child?

When the father pretended to be angry and beat Bozai severely.In fact, it was to force Bozai and his mother to go to the United States to live a better life. When Bozai called his father on the spacious and comfortable bed in the hotel, he cried, "Dad, don't ignore me, don't want me." when;
When Dad finally held back his love for Bo Zai and wished to cry alone in the dark and cramped hut without saying a word;
When Bo Zai finally lay down on the big bed and cried bitterly, it seemed that his world had collapsed.

Yes, the man who brought him up little by little in the past ten years, the man who hid suddenly on the street and pulled up his pants and always joked with him, the man who always seemed to be cynical but silently stood up for him in his laughter The man in love may leave him from now on.It's too cruel, how can I not feel sad?I never thought that director Li Yi is also a master at portraying the relationship between men, and the few details are already hard to let go.

I have read many poems of the Song Dynasty, and there are many good sentences involving the love of men and women, but there are very few descriptions of praising family affection. Perhaps Confucius's "junjun, ministers, fathers, sons" are too strict, and the rules of filial piety are too strict. The requirements are too harsh, and during those three difficult years, people can be put into the position of personal loss and bankruptcy, so that in the ordinary life, many things are more indifferent and peaceful because they are commonplace, and they are actually placed in a neglected place. Corners, only perceived and cherished in special moments.

The relationship between Ah Lang and his son Bo Zai began to be like a freshly opened bottle of old wine, exuding bursts of strong aroma because of the almost perfect life storm.This may be a commonplace story. Under the director's tepid control, the character of A Lang has a different kind of gentleness in the unruly.

In my opinion, the most touching part of the film is not Alang's sacrifice to the finish line, but Alang's hard-hearted beating of his son's ass with a clothes hanger in order to get his son back to his mother.Alang's kindness is as irreproachable as his cruelty. He doesn't have the breadth and depth of the father portrayed by Lang Xiong, but more of the tenderness and care contained in "Meng's Mother Moves Three Times".People feel warmth and responsibility in love. The way Alang looked at his child in prison, apart from remorse, exudes heat that can evaporate all the moisture of youth.

This is an ordinary person who only shows his greatness in one or two places. He doesn't have any special scheming. He even orders beer in western restaurants.

In fact, Bozai's role is very brilliant, and Bozai has made people feel distressed since he appeared on the stage.Although he was bribed with various materials by the mother who came out in just a few days, the Shar Pei dog that A Lang bought for him didn't even look at it, it was a child after all.But in the end, I still cried and cried to go home.

Why don't you think this plot is very common?Where can this pure emotion be seen now?

There are no parents who push their children around because of the burden of raising them;

But at the last moment, A Lang was still selfish for a while. He rode on the chariot that he had not ridden for more than ten years, and began to prove himself in the way of a prodigal son. Because, in fact, he didn't have much choice.

What can he do?
For ten years, he was just a worker driving a truck on a construction site. He hadn't read any books, and what he was best at, or what he was most proud of, was racing cars.

After all, it was with this skill that he won the hearts of the beauties back then that he had Bo Tsai.

In fact, in reality, as a small person, there are also not many choices.

Alang wants to reunite his family and give Bozai a better life, so he has to fight, how to fight?He can only use his life.

That seemingly decisive, seemingly chic choice is just the only way for a little person to change his destiny.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it is too difficult for the prodigal son to turn back, but in fact, is it not difficult for the little man to change his destiny?

On the day when Bobo took Bozai away, the lonely Alang returned to the racing field. Now, all he has left is the racing car.

What a failed life, this is all he has left.

He has been a good father for ten years, but at the last moment.
For Bo Tsai, he will never see his dad's smiling face again.

Because he rushed to the finish line with all his strength, but his face was already bleeding and his mind was blurred.

The flames of the motorcycle explosion surrounded him, and it is not known whether the final explosion caused Bozai to be smashed to pieces.

But have you heard the heart-piercing cries of my mother and I?
Do you know how desperate my mother and I were at that moment?
If you know, why don't you come out with the last bit of strength.

I'm in front of the screen and everything is out of order.

The black eyes and your smiling face can only exist in memory.

Unchanged, you stand in the vast world.From then on I was a lonely child.

Mom is back, but dad is gone!

I am not one to cry.

But I, who was in a mess, had already burst into tears. "
