tearjerker director

Chapter 1417: Everyone is right, but the society is wrong

There are thousands of people, and different people will have completely different feelings when watching the same movie.

Even Ye Lanqiu is disliked by some people, who think she is "competent"!
Even for Chen Ruoxi, some people think she is right and that everything she does is just what a media person would do.

Of course, such people are always in the minority, but there is a film review on the Internet that takes a different approach.

This film review comes from Liu Fei, a die-hard fan of Li Yi.

"It's time for director Gou's movie again, "Search". After watching this movie, I felt that it was a movie worth watching. Although I can't tell you what it is, but just like the title, I finished watching it. After the movie, I was searching in my mind, what was I searching for?
I saw many people commenting on this movie on the Internet. I saw many people complaining about Ye Lanqiu and being upset about Ye Lanqiu's ending. I saw many people scolding Chen Ruoxi, Tang Xiaohua, Yang Jiaqi, and even scolded Yang Shoucheng.

Similarly, I also saw many people scolding Ye Lanqiu, saying that the irony is that she was not a mistress, but she became a "mistress" before she died!
These comments made me a little confused. Initially, I went to watch it because it was a movie directed by Li Yi. I thought that this movie should be a related film made in line with the "Anti-Internet Violence Charity Fund".

I actually didn’t have any other thoughts about this movie, but after watching it, I felt that the movie was so enjoyable, and even after the movie ended, what Ye Lanqiu said at the end of the movie echoed in my mind: " I want to live every second, every minute, every hour, every day." Then the scene stopped abruptly.

We are accustomed to asking after watching a movie, "What does the movie want to express?"

Yes, what do you want to express?I am also asking, but I am not a dog director, and none of us are Li Yi. Just like a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, each of us has a different interpretation of this movie!
And perhaps Director Li Yi wants us to search for our own answer and let us choose such an answer ourselves, just like Chen Ruoxi in the film chooses to make big news and does news from a critical perspective instead of Try to understand why Ye Lanqiu didn't give up his seat. It's just like Ye Lanqiu chose to leave and endure the cold violence from the media without taking out a piece of her cancer test report to defend herself. It's just like Shen Liushu chose not to do it. Explaining the scene between himself and Ye Lanqiu, he continued to face Mo Xiaoyu arrogantly, bringing a set from the mall to his home.
There are so many reasons why we need to search to create such a movie.

Therefore, I have always been a bit confused about what to write in my film reviews.

Then I thought about it, first of all, let’s start with what kind of story this movie tells.

What story is this movie about?
I think it is actually the story of a butterfly, and the movie itself is designed to tell a story.

Why is it the story of a butterfly?Because this is a group drama, a drama in which the fate of many people is changed because of one person or one thing.

Therefore, this movie reminds me of two sentences. One is "Butterfly effect - a small butterfly flaps its wings and disturbs the air, causing a storm." The other sentence is "The butterfly returns again." Beauty, after all, cannot fly across the sea."

Because Ye Lanqiu accidentally discovered that she had lymphoma and became distracted, it caused a turmoil that changed the fate of herself and the people around her. Like an innocent butterfly, she had to shoulder moral responsibilities. She also chose He took the initiative to end his own life.

However, Chen Ruoxi just did what a media person understood she should do, but in the end she went against her lover, lost her job, and suffered infamy.

Some people may think that what I said is biased, but what I want to say here is that if you ask someone else about the things Chen Ruoxi did, everyone may think she is wrong, but if you ask a media person , I think definitely a different answer.

It's ironic, but it's true. In fact, this can be seen from the reactions of people around Chen Ruoxi in the film.

This is a group portrait film with multiple lines of narration at the same time. In the fast editing room, there is no real protagonist, and the story is simply told in a neutral and non-evaluative manner. We prefer Ye Lanqiu because she is a graceful female The dancing butterflies are as brilliant and beautiful as being independent in the world.

The appearance of Ye Lanqiu really surprised me, but what I actually saw was a kind of pale beauty.

Before watching the movie, my understanding of Ye Lanqiu came from watching the movie trailer in the theater. My impression was of words such as mistress, and I prejudged Ye Lanqiu, but when I saw Ye Lanqiu dressed so beautifully and elegantly while squeezing into the bus. Shen Liushu’s sentence "You have never been on a business trip with me" found that my definition was wrong. I immediately adjusted my attitude towards watching this movie because I am a fan. As a self-filling audience, Meimei has watched the incomplete trailer once and filled in her guesses about the characters in her brain to define the characters and characterize the film. Although most of the time, I can judge almost exactly, but this time I Or choose to watch the movie carefully and thoughtfully like a student in class.

In the movie, I saw a lot of things, so fragmented that it was difficult to organize them into orderly language.Perhaps because I have been in contact with many media people and have also taken some media courses, I was extremely sensitive to the cold and violent portrayal of the media in the film, and I also noticed the role-building of media people such as Chen Ruoxi and Yang Jiaqi. With relish.

Although the movie is largely exaggerated, it truly reflects the social phenomena in the self-media era and the current situation of media people’s survival in the current environment.

Pay attention to media people like Chen Ruoxi and Yang Jiaqi, is she really wrong?From the standpoint of ordinary people and from a moral standpoint, they are undoubtedly wrong.

However, the sad thing is that in the current media environment where they are media professionals, their colleagues will not think that they are wrong!
Therefore, they themselves will not think that they are wrong. They will only think that they have done what a media person should do.

From this point of view, no one in this movie did anything wrong, but we did feel a sense of sadness. Therefore, this is a movie with the appearance of a romance film, the temperament of an artistic film, the essence of a commercial film, and the emotion of tragedy.Chen Ruoxi was right. She exposed the incident of Ye Lanqiu not giving up her seat and continued to promote it. This is the instinct of every media person. She needs this news to increase her status and popularity, and then she can buy a house and make herself , boyfriend, boyfriend's sister will not become a stray cat.So from her standpoint, she won't think she did anything wrong!

As for Ye Lanqiu, for a media person like Chen Ruoxi, she is her prop. If not she, it would be someone else. What is wrong with Chen Ruoxi?

Yang Jiaqi is right. She took this scene on the bus out of the sensitivity of a media person and out of a citizen's sense of public morality;

She made a good move and pulled Chen Ruoxi down and replaced her, but she was taken advantage of, not to mention that the good news she shot was also taken away by Chen Ruoxi.

She has always been innocent. Even if she is not innocent, it is an unintentional mistake. At least she thinks so, because she does not think she has done anything wrong. Why should she help Ye Lanqiu? Helping Ye Lanqiu does not do her any good, but only There may be disadvantages, such as offending Chen Ruoxi or even being blamed by people in Taiwan.

So what's wrong with Yang Jiaqi?Why did she do so much for Ye Lanqiu?
You may think that there is a big reckoning at the end of the movie, but what is the reality?The fact is, before this assistance case from the "Anti-Cyber ​​Violence Fund", how many cases have you seen that were liquidated?

No!This is reality!On the contrary, the finale in the movie was purely made by the dog director to satisfy the needs of the audience!
Closer to home!
Mo Xiaoyu was right. Seeing her husband cuddling with the young and beautiful female secretary, how could she not be nervous when she had long lost her youth and beauty?No sense of crisis?Her husband didn't explain anything to her, how could she not be suspicious?What happened to her calling the TV station and scolding the mistress?
Besides, she also admitted her mistake to her husband, although that had nothing to do with Ye Lanqiu.

Shen Liushu was right, he was a man. Is there anything wrong with a man putting success first?It is true that his feelings for Ye Lanqiu are impure, but that is human nature. With such a beautiful young woman hanging in front of him every day, the eunuchs are the ones who are not tempted, not to mention that they actually have nothing.

There are also those three experts who debated fiercely, the aunt who scolded Ye Lanqiu and told her to leave, those netizens who hacked her blog and used the most vicious words to scold her. Everyone has a responsibility to attack the unscrupulous people and the mistress. OK?Everyone does this, what’s wrong with me?

You see, this is a movie in which no one is wrong, but it makes us feel too much sadness.Just like butterflies flapping their wings one after another, the storm comes quietly because of these dancing butterflies.

Ye Lanqiu was right, what was wrong with her?She takes the bus and she has cancer. She is very pitiful, right?Why give up your seat?Teasing?It's just an outlet for despair.

What's wrong with her?

Let me say it with my personal emotions, Ye Lanqiu in this movie is too beautiful, but not perfect. Director Gou made the most extreme rendering of Ye Lanqiu's temperament and beauty in the movie, so good, so desperate, so Gorgeous, so passionate, she chose the most decisive way to end her life.

But Ye Lanqiu is untrue, because she did not express her love even in her last suicide note. She treats her love with the same unexplained and unexpressed attitude as she faces doubts and abuse. Ye Lanqiu ended his life gracefully and calmly, so Ye Lanqiu really makes people feel so distressed that they can't breathe!

Having said so much, many people may think that I have incorrect views, and that I actually speak for people like Chen Ruoxi and Yang Jiaqi, saying that they are not wrong. Some may also say that, in fact, I Also a keyboard warrior.

I know you will be very angry after reading this review of mine, but don’t be angry until you read it!
First of all, from a broad perspective, the movie involves an issue of privacy. "Human flesh search" is in the vacuum zone between Internet standards and legal supervision in real society. It targets all kinds of people. The incident in the movie is caused by a lack of morality, and it is reasonable. It can be followed, but it has caused harm to the parties far beyond the moral punishment, and the result has been justice. However, in reality, parties who have encountered "human flesh searches" cannot achieve this result, not to mention that some of them have suffered To the point of exaggeration or even slander, the process of "human flesh search" has gradually evolved from "doing good and looking for the truth" to an act of "just looking for a position", and the truth behind the incident has been put second.

On the other hand, philosophically speaking, there is a difference between the essence and the phenomenon of things, and the phenomenon is not equal to the essence. The online video in the film is the phenomenon of things, and the movie leads the audience to find the essence of the event.But in real life, phenomena often determine the essence. Who would pay attention to the truth behind the incident?
And the reason why I say those people are right is that it is actually the greatest tragedy and the greatest misfortune of our Internet era.

Because Chen Ruoxi and others can be found everywhere in reality. They do something that violates morality. They do not think that they are wrong. The outbreak of the Ye Lanqiu incident will only make Chen Ruoxi and others feel that they are unlucky and just happened to be. Encountered, Ye Lanqiu's suicide incident, a life was lost!
Let me ask, if Ye Lanqiu had not made that choice, what would have been the ending?
Ye Lanqiu receives treatment. As the news cools down, Chen Ruoxi and others will start to concoct other news to attract attention. In the end, Chen Ruoxi and others may forget that they ever reported on this person named Ye Lanqiu.

People may also forget that they once criticized a person named Ye Lanqiu verbally and in writing.

As a result, Ye Lanqiu was forgotten, and the hurt she suffered seemed to have no trace.

Some people say that the Internet has memory, but sometimes the Internet is also the best at forgetting.

But if we put it into the current society, will Ye Lanqiu and others be more forgotten, or will the truth finally be revealed like in the movie?
Therefore, in my personal opinion, what the movie "Search" reflects is actually an idealized event, expressing the film's creator's accusation of online violence, but the result is still guiding the public to pay attention to the truth behind the incident.In real-life cyber violence, everyone can be a victim or a perpetrator. Whether the result is right or wrong, it will have a great social impact.With the help of Ye Lanqiu's final ending, the film also places the positive effect that the director wants. We need to think calmly about online violence. If you are not careful, you will be blinded.

At the same time, it is also a warning that the Internet is really not a place outside the law. By the way, I have also made a donation to the "Anti-Cyber ​​Violence Charity Fund". I hope that there will be fewer and fewer cyber violence incidents and the world will get better and better! "
