tearjerker director

Chapter 1200 The most frightening thing is that we have lost our imagination of poverty
It is foreseeable that for film critics and media professionals, "Warm Spring" is more like an addition to "Into the Dust".

There is no way, these days, movies like "Warm Spring" are actually a bit simple and clichéd in plot, but, as a commercial film, it is enough.

But in comparison, "Into the Dust" is more favored by film critics and media people.

After all, "Hiding Into the Dust" at this node, for many people, may have benefited from those "village"-themed film and television works, so many people have the illusion that in today's domestic rural areas, every household can Living in a small mansion, you can even drive a car.

Even, the rural life in many film and television works gives people the feeling that it is more abundant and richer than the life of urban people.

For this reason, the appearance of "Into the Dust and Smoke" can be said to be the most special local film in recent years.

Because "Into the Dust" has no cover, and it shows those sufferings in front of the public in an incomparably straightforward way.

Why do some people say that "Into the Dust" is a peasant film for the "middle class"?

Because that's what it is.

Who is the biggest audience for the movie?

Will real farmers become the main crowd of moviegoers?
Obviously it is impossible, the main popularity of real movie watching has always been "middle class".

This is an argument on a superficial level, but on a deeper level, the countryside shown in "Into the Dust and Smoke" is of course impossible to be a common situation.

Otherwise, why would there be "Warm Spring"?
Doesn't it mean that other rural film and television works must be false, and there are farmers who are richer than people in the city?

The answer is yes, but objectively speaking, are these wealthy people still farmers?
There are always very few people who get rich by farming. The peasants in those villages become rich, in fact, it is more because they have entered the city and completed the change of identity.

Just like Zhang Yongfu's family in "Hidden in the Dust and Smoke", they are not farmers anymore.

As the two films began to be screened for general audiences, comments on the two films gradually increased.

"What really touches people is often not the deliberate piling up of tragedies, it may just be the whistle of the rain gutter, the candlelight on the way home at night, the boiling water is cold again and again, and the wheat is branded on the hands."

"Some beat the donkey, some protect it; some fetch water and don't forget to put the tadpoles back into the pond; some pass by and catch toads and tie them around their wrists; One yard, some people ask others to donate blood and ask if your clothes still fit; some people work hard to build brick houses just to live in peace and stability, and some people don’t discuss in advance to apply for buildings for others, and demolish brick houses It's only because of the price difference of 5000 yuan; some people want to find a decent place in the world, and some people choose to hide in the dust and smoke. It's been a long time since I saw such a penetrating local film.

Although "Warm Spring" continues the tear-jerking style of director Li Yi, and even though "Into the Dust" makes people feel dizzy after watching it, I still prefer "Into the Dust", because such film and television works as "Warm Spring" There are many works that extol the truth, goodness and beauty, but there are too few films like "Into the Dust" that interpret suffering. "

"It is the peasants who give blood to the cities for free."

"The story of "Warm Spring" took place in an era of material scarcity and economic backwardness, but in the small village in the film, although the material is not rich, but spiritually, it is extremely full, and everyone is full of strong human touch. Some people may think it is unreal, but those who came from that era can say with certainty that it is very real. At least in that era, there were definitely fewer such things in "Into the Dust" than now.

The times are developing, the economy is taking off, and with the blood transfusions of farmers to the city for free, many people have become rich, just like Zhang Yongfu's family. They are undoubtedly the first to get rich, but they are still treating the poorest peasants They suck blood greedily.

The indifference of human feelings shown in "Into the Dust and Smoke" is actually not a microcosm of the whole society? "

"The most frightening thing is not that our imagination is limited by poverty, but that one day we lose our imagination of poverty."

"Calm, immersive but not dull, moving details, and some unique tastes. But when I watched it, I felt that I was cruel, and poetry is also a kind of cruelty. Those who can bear hardships will have more and more hardships for them. , people who can bear it will become more and more tolerant, but once they have seen the beauty of life and the feeling of love, they no longer want to bear anything. Living is more uncomfortable than death. And, no matter how miserable or miserable a man is, there will be more His worse woman."

"I watched "Warm Spring" first and then "Hidden Into the Dust and Smoke", and my mood suddenly became extremely bad!"

"I don't remember where I read it. It is said that the farmers in Huaguo are very good. Farmers are as silent as the land, as deep as the land, and Ma Youtie is like a Bodhisattva growing out of the soil."

"During the movie watching process, I often felt uneasy: when Ma Youtie was standing on the beam of the house, I was afraid that he would fall, and when Ma Youtie was called to draw blood, when he went back to work, I was afraid that he would suddenly fall down. When they went down the river to rub their backs, I was afraid that Guiying would be washed away by the flood, I was even afraid of the flashing lights when they went down the river, and I was afraid that the donkey would suddenly fall down one day."

"After watching "Into the Dust and Smoke" and then watching "Warm Spring", I feel that this may be complete. The pure "Into the Dust and Smoke" or "Warm Spring" are just one aspect, and only the two together can be complete Both sides."

"Some rural areas are as heart-warming as "Warm Spring", but some rural areas are as cruel and desperate as "Into the Dust and Smoke"!"

"The current movies are too far away from the earth and the soil. I often feel suffocated just watching these cruel scenes. The wheat in the field is destined to be harvested by the scythe, but when harvesting, Do they hurt? You can’t even shed a tear for them, because the tears are too hypocritical. From winter to spring to summer to autumn, they live a silent life. Fortunately, there are still people who care! Thank you Director Li Yi!”

"In the new era, we always look at new, interesting, and future things, but the shadows of the past are always there. Those pains buried in the blood are fate swaying like wheat."

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no bad reviews, in fact there are quite a few bad reviews.

"I'm also from the countryside. Forgive me for my ignorance. Whether it's "Into the Dust" or "Warm Spring", the filming is too deliberate. The former is too bitter and the latter is too sweet, but this is not our real countryside. !"

"Director Dog probably has no confidence in the movie and is afraid of being criticized, so the two movies are released together, but I want to say, I should scold, I still want to scold, a person like Ma Youtie, he is hardworking, and he is a good hand at farm work , Honest and willing to work, such a person will be disgusted by others? Can't it? However, I can understand, because Li Yi himself has nothing to do with the countryside, and he feels absurd anyway.

It seems that in his eyes, he is either a good person or a bad person!Either it is as humane as "Warm Spring", or it is as indifferent as "Into the Dust and Smoke", as if there are only these two kinds of people in this world. "
