tearjerker director

Ke Bai still has some influence in Taiwan, and it is true that in recent years, Taiwan movies have been a bit weak, so when his film review was released, many supporters suddenly appeared.

"One word awakens the dreamer! Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case. The performance of Baodao Ba's literary and artistic movies in the 90s is indeed not bad!"

"Those local directors now know how to throw the blame every day, and never seriously think about whether there is something wrong with themselves!"

"To tell a story, you have to tell a good story. Whether it's retro or innovative, as long as you tell a good story, it's OK. But so many directors don't understand such a simple truth."

"Actually, how many moviegoers are experts? What they need is to understand and figure out the ins and outs of a story. However, many current movies can't even do the most basic thing. They always like Carrying private goods, I always like to show off with some inexplicable empty shots, calling it art!"

In fact, many viewers don't care about the filming method used in the movie at all. The key is, can people understand it?
Can it make people look cool.

No need to rack your brains to understand, no need to scratch your head to think.

As for whether it is the way out for Formosa Films, how can ordinary audiences really care about this?
Compared with the film reviews written by directors like Ke Bai, other film critics are not as "professional".

After all, in this day and age, film reviews and the like are mostly written for ordinary movie fans, not for so-called professionals.

A Bi, a famous writer and film critic from Hong Kong Island, gave a more emotional interpretation.

"Shuicheng Township in "Lu Binghua" is a beautiful place in Baodao. Under the lens of the director, the mountains there are beautiful, accompanied by quiet flowing water. In the last picture of Gu Aming, there The mountains and running water are all red, and the splendor makes my heart ache. It turns out that things in the eyes of children are invisible to us when we grow up.

I can’t help but take out the paintings my daughter drew when she was a child. In my memory, every time my daughter finishes drawing a painting, she will take it to ask for praise, but as a mother, I always praise it with my mouth every time, but I am at a loss in my heart. , because many of the colors in it are full of absurdity and doubts in the eyes of us adults.

Thinking about it now, maybe my daughter may also have a strong talent for painting and a strong sense of color, but there is no Bole like Teacher Guo to discover it.

There is actually no difference between us and Gu Aming's father, and we also don't understand the world of children!

Back to the movies!

There is a wolf dog there, everyone calls it "Gu Zhui", Gu Zhui always waits quietly on the shore of the house for the return of the little master after school, then wags his tail and pounces on him to make out with the little master, Gu Zhui also It's very naughty, otherwise why don't you sit down quietly and let the little master draw a picture for it?However, in the end, he was caught by the more mischievous little master, and then tied to the door to cooperate with the master to complete the picture that no one can understand. The ancient awl in the painting is red all over, which is not what everyone saw Grayish brown, A Ming said: that is because the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Gu Zhui's body!
It turns out that what children see is indeed a world full of fantasy.

There are many characters in the film, such as the mischievous Gu Aming, the hardworking Gucha girl, the heroic teacher Guo Yuntian, and the beautiful but unapproachable teacher Lin Xuefen.

At first I heard that this is the new work of director Li Yi, who is best at tear-jerking, and when I heard the song "Lu Binghua" during the promotion of the film, I thought it was another story about family affection and great maternal love. So, from the very beginning, I went to watch this movie with the feeling that I was going to be moved by the movie once!This is probably very familiar to many old fans of the dog director.

However, after watching the movie, I found that I was wrong. This is not a movie about great maternal love, but the dog director is worthy of being a dog director, and I was still moved by the movie.

It's a very strange thing, even though I know I was wrong, this is not a film about great maternal love, but I knew from the very beginning that I would watch it quietly, from the very beginning, I knew it from Gu Aming's appearance This is my favorite movie.

Looking at it, I had a very strange feeling. I knew that Amin would leave us in the end. In my feeling, I thought that Amin would be swallowed by the raging water on a stormy night. His life is just like his pictures, what he brings to everyone is the blaze of summer flowers, but the last Amin left quietly with his last picture beside a stone by the river, which is his In his dream, he wanted to paint the beautiful landscape of his hometown, just like Qiulan, quietly, Amin left us.

In fact, the plot of the movie is far from innovative, but a bit old-fashioned, especially the ending, we can even guess from the beginning that Amin will leave us, but it is such an old-fashioned story, but it can still be played. Moved me to tears like rain.

Even sometimes, in retrospect, I don't understand why this happened.

Therefore, in the process of watching the movie, even every time the melody of the song "Lu Binghua" sounded, I couldn't help being sad.

So many times my eyes were wet with tears:
It was the first time that their two siblings sang "Lu Binghua" together. In fact, this passage did not seem to be worthy of tears, but maybe it was more emotional. Maybe my mother left me very early, so, hearing this song, I couldn't help but think of my mother, but I forgot what my mother looked like, so I couldn't help crying.

Then when Amin said to his sister very weakly, and then the sister comforted him, the singing sounded again, and he began to worry;
When Chamei found Amin lying motionless in the pigsty, she cried out worriedly, and it started to rain;
When he was in the hospital, Amin said to the teacher: I have to go back to paint, here is nothing, there is no color;
When his father was rowing the boat, holding back the pain, he said: Those who are alive cannot die, and those who are dead cannot be saved;
When the doctor said to the tea girl: Mom is not here, you are the mother.Chamei agreed tearfully;
When Amin took the painted "Mom" and said to the teacher: I only remember the way she touched me;

When Amin came home sad and disappointed, he climbed up the wall and tore off those paintings, and said to his sister: I don’t want to paint anymore, I never want to paint anymore.
When the colored paintbrush was thrown on the river by Amin, only Gu Zhui silently accompanied him;

When the teacher was about to leave, he said to Amin: Don't ask the teacher why, okay?Amin looked at him, seeming to understand, but sad, watching the teacher go away, even more sad;
When they carried Amin stiff into his coffin;
When Chamei sang a cheerful song sadly, many reporters walked into the classroom to interview, but she didn't show any expression;
When the camera cuts to her standing in front of the land god, she tremblingly said: When the land father-in-law is free, don’t forget to tell the underground Amin that he has won the first place in the world;

The last time, Chamei’s speech at the meeting: Although the scenery is still there, everyone can’t see his paintings.

"Why should the poor lose so much?" This is what Amin asked Mr. Guo Yuntian choked up when he knew that he could not represent the school in the painting competition.

Thinking of it, there will be a special feeling in my heart!Our Gu Aming's paintings are so beautiful, real, and cute, the beautiful rumors of "Tiangou Eats the Moon", the exaggeration and horror of "Tea Insect", and the "Mother" that touched our hearts, We like the world he described. That world is a children's world with a fairy-tale texture. Everything there is free from the hypocrisy and cunning in the adult world, without the calculations and calculations of the real society, and there are only innocent eyes. Children are careful there Running a small world of his own, isn't our Gu Aming just a kid who said "the emperor didn't wear any clothes"?
But the cruel thing is that adults can't see our world, and they won't understand our paintings, of course, because there are no interests and calculations in Amin's paintings, and who can understand children's world and pictures?And who can understand what the children say?
Even the closest person, my father, doesn't understand. Even the elder sister who loves him the most, just thinks it looks good, and doesn't understand how good his paintings are. Everyone thinks he is not doing his job properly.

Gu Aming outside the campus is just an innocent child, and this kind of mentality also makes him more insight into the intuitive feeling of life, so the paintings he creates are all telling the stories of life, and each painting is It expresses the most real inner needs of children, which is impressive.

The so-called inspiration comes from life. Gu Aming was able to draw so many paintings, even drawing with a brush, because it was what he thought in his heart, what he saw with his eyes, and what he experienced personally. His family was poor, so he drew pigs growing up. When he grew up, he rowed a bamboo raft with his father and sister and happily sold big fat pigs for money; he felt that his father had worked hard in catching tea worms in the tea garden, so he drew a dark blue sun so that his father would not be hot; he hated Silkworms in the tea garden, so he painted big silkworms eating the tea leaves grown at home; he missed his mother, so he tried to piece together memories and painted a portrait of his mother...

What the movie shows us is an extraordinary genius, but it may be countless neglected students.

In school, Gu Aming was the "bad boy" in the eyes of the teacher. When he was not labeled as such, all the bad behaviors he did took it for granted. Teachers and principals make funny faces, he always plays ball and games in the place where he studies...

Maybe such a child would be regarded as a problem student in anyone's eyes, especially when his academic performance is so poor.

But the fact is that the stories and campuses in "Lu Binghua" are common phenomena in life. Even in today's society, there are still some school teachers who have no "teacher" at all, and the phenomenon of power-climbing also exists. .

Thinking of the different attitudes of teachers towards students with good academic performance and those with poor academic performance when I was young, it may be that there are too few teachers like Guo Yuntian, which makes the students with poor academic performance worse and worse.

Of course, it is not only the teacher, but also the environment and parents that created the ancient Amin tragedy.

Because the child's first teachers are the parents, if the parents do not protect the child's spiritual world, then such tragedies will still happen.

In fact, to a certain extent, Amin was lucky because he met the teacher Guo Yuntian who called himself a "fool", but Amin was also unlucky, the reward came too late, and he could no longer see his own beautiful certificate.Isn't Amin's misfortune caused by the so-called rules of adult society?Between this luck and misfortune, Amin walked away quietly, accompanied by the beautiful melody of "Lu Binghua", hoping that Amin in heaven could see his dear mother
There is also an extremely distressing character, Gu Chamei!

In fact, except for the sadness after the last hope was shattered, and the cruel fate, Gu Aming was actually extremely happy when he was alive.

Gu Aming's father, in fact, he doesn't have many lines in the movie, but he can still feel a lot of delicate psychological activities; I am very relieved to be praised by the teacher!

Although he scolded Gu Aming, he still loved his son in his own way like most traditional fathers.

Although A Ming doesn't have a mother, he has a sister. Gu Chamei has almost done everything a mother can do, just like the doctor told her, if your mother is not here, you are your mother!

She thought the same thing in her heart, and she did the same thing.

Gu Aming also met such a good teacher as Mr. Guo, which allowed his talent to be unearthed and shine out.

But compared to Amin, Gu Chamei, who is a woman, in this feudal, oppressive and conservative social environment, had to give up painting and study, and help out at home because of her poor family. Taking care of tea trees, taking care of younger brothers, cooking, and feeding pigs are also the epitome of the status quo of girls under the influence of "boys over girls" in the society at that time.
In fact, is Gu Chamei not talented?

No, Teacher Guo also said that Chamei has a strong color. It's not that she has no talent, and it's not that she doesn't like painting. It's just that she has to give up because the family needs her.

Just like many mothers, women are weak, but mothers are strong. Like many mothers, Chamei gave up many opportunities for herself, just to realize the ideal opportunity for Amin, but she herself never thought about it. So the tea girl is the most distressing thing in the whole film.

Gu Chamei is a sensible older sister. She is hardworking, careful, and shy. She cooks the family’s meals with a big shovel in front of a high stove, ferryes her younger brother home from school with a long oar, and takes care of her when her father beats and scolds her younger brother. When she was young, she would always protect A Ming, even though she would also be in a hurry with her father and run with her younger brother. When other girls were still childish, she taught them how to catch tea worms.Because of her poor family, and in order to allow her younger brother to continue his favorite painting, she gave up her studies and stayed at home looking at the sound of books on the campus across the river.When she was alone, she sang quietly, but she didn't sing in front of the teacher, watching her younger brother encourage him to stammer.
I still remember that when Amin came back from the hospital, she happily said that she was recovering soon, and when she was able to catch up with the competition, she had such a sad expression on the bamboo raft.

Amin is gone, but Chamei will continue to live. She burned all of Amin's paintings in front of Amin's grave. At that moment, we can't imagine what she was thinking, but we can feel her overflowing The sadness of the silver screen. "
