tearjerker director

"Grandma's Home" or "Love Homecoming" began to be released on a large scale.

For a movie like this, you can't expect it to start out like one of those popcorn movies.

This is a low-cost feature film. Even if it is directed by Li Yi, it is still a low-cost film.

This kind of movie is not a commercial blockbuster, so although the theater chain gave Li Yi a lot of money in scheduling because of his past performance, the National Day schedule is a popular period after all, so it doesn't actually have much advantage in scheduling. .

But the result was beyond Li Yi's expectation, or it was beyond the expectation of many people.

Although Li Yi is the big devil in the film industry and his movies can often create miracles, after analyzing many movies of the same period, we feel that this time Li Yi's movie is not a very "popular" movie. Even a little lukewarm.

It can be said that the movie does not have too many ups and downs in the plot. The whole movie is as bland as water.

This kind of movie may receive a lot of praise and get a good reputation, but it is difficult to say how much it will achieve at the box office.

But sometimes it proves the saying, the more people lack something, the more they want it.

What do people lack now?

The pace of life is getting faster and faster, and the distance between people and relatives is getting farther and farther.

For this reason, many people were deeply touched after watching this movie.

"I just watched this drama last night, and it seemed like it was magical. It was obviously very straightforward, and the plot was obviously bland, but I cried like a mess.

So, tears and sobs accompanied me until the moment when the subtitles appeared.

In fact, I know that I cried, not because the movie was so touching, but because I missed my grandma.

Therefore, Director Dog really understands the audience. He understands what we, the people, are missing, so he shows us whatever he wants. How can we prevent people from being sensationalized and crying?

Some people say that Li Yi's movie is not sensational, but what I want to say is that when the movie is written "dedicated to grandmas all over the world", it is already the most sensational.

Because this kind of sensationalism is the real sensationalism. He just uses such a story to make us think of that person, that figure, ourselves, and many, many more!

Returning to the movie, I was very moved. It seems that I haven’t seen such a touching movie in a long time.

At first I told my friends that I would definitely not be able to watch it, because I couldn’t bear to watch it, knowing that I would cry in shame, but I still wanted to see my grandson understand my grandma’s effort without complaint and feel deeply ashamed, so I held back tears and persisted until the end.

Director Li Yi's casting skills are really impressive. If the role of the grandmother had been a healthy and nagging old lady with a mean face in traditional stick dramas, it probably wouldn't have such a tear-jerking effect. ,

But her body is always curled up, and her figure is not rugged. It is precisely because of her figure that it highlights her friendly image. Her hair, which is almost silvery, is floating loosely in the dusty air in the countryside. Her eyes are a little misty. Does it mean that she has experienced a lot and seen through a lot, or is it a simple and uncontaminated mood that she has never experienced much?

I prefer the latter perspective of thinking. In that small countryside without many material temptations, my mother-in-law spent more than eighty years from birth to old age, facing the same environment and the same kind of people. In her world , may not be too troublesome, but it is more precious. I'm not old enough to fully understand the old lady's mood. Faced with such a rude little grandson, she obviously didn't think too much about it. Even if she was called an "idiot", she didn't think it was an insult because her In the world, there is only family affection and family members. I really like this kind of mother-in-law from the bottom of my heart, not because of her pitiful appearance, nor because of sympathy, nor because I feel unworthy of her, but because I like her, I like her affection, and perhaps the most important thing is that she Reminds me of my grandma.

From the initial rejection to the later heartache, isn’t this the mental journey of many of our grandchildren when they face their grandmothers in the countryside?

One can't help but think about how many children of this generation, who are used to living in big cities, are willing to come to the countryside where grandma lives. There are no delicious snacks, no fun toys, and no interesting things. Amusement parks, of course, don’t get great TV shows.

The grandson Xiaowu in the movie is like most children who have gone through the same experience, and the game console naturally became a life-sustaining treasure. His grandmother, who has been working alone in the countryside all her life, has been tanned all over her body. Her skin has lost its elasticity and is full of wrinkles. Because he has never met her and will have to live with her alone for a period of time, this inevitably makes him a little repelled and afraid. Moreover, her grandmother He cannot hear or speak, and can only express "I'm sorry" in sign language when he feels he is not being satisfied.

I saw some comments saying that grandson Xiaowu is too hateful, but in fact, I don't think so.

Everyone is talking about grandma, and what comes to mind is grandma, but they talk too much about grandma and ignore the little grandson. His performance at that time was also very good. I never felt that he was hateful from the beginning to the end, because there are always people around us. Are there many such children?

Looking back, not to mention the naughty kids now, even when we were children, we were so arrogant. I even think that it is impossible for many urban children to be like little boys and finally know how to teach their grandmothers to write letters and cover their grandmothers with quilts. I even think that it is just the director's wishful thinking to beautify the world of this little bully.

Many of our children living in cities have their grandparents take care of them when their parents have to work. But when the little bullies get angry, they are much scarier than Xiao Wu in the movie.

There are several points in the movie, such as the food that grandma regarded as a treasure, but Xiao Wu didn't take it seriously. He ruthlessly rejected grandma's kindness and only wanted to play the game console all day long. After the battery of the game console ran out, his game He was addicted, restless, and yelled at his grandma to buy batteries, but grandma had no money and could not help Xiang Yu, so he rummaged around her house and even stole her hairpin while she was sleeping, trying to take it away. After selling it, buy the battery.

This scene made some people think that this child was too ignorant.

But we ask ourselves, is Xiao Wu's performance really out of touch with reality?

Even when we were children, didn’t we do similar things? At that time, weren’t we all centered on ourselves? Many people say that they love each other across generations, so they dote on them.

But we ourselves have enjoyed that kind of pampering. Many times we did something wrong and got into trouble. When our parents wanted to beat us, didn't it mean that our grandparents came out to protect us?

They didn't think as much as our parents did. I remember my mother once complained about my grandmother, saying that she always doted on me and never allowed me to be scolded or beaten. How could she take care of the child?

He also said that he was often beaten by his grandmother when he was a child, but my grandmother hugged me and told my mother that she would leave at some time and she would not be able to see what happens to the child in the future, but at least for now, she hopes that the child will be well. Good!

I was ignorant at the time and didn't understand it at all, but now that I think about it, I can't help but burst into tears.

The unbearable weight of life is the love from grandma. This point cannot be refuted. Some people may say that it is Xiao Wu’s mother’s fault that Xiao Wu needs to go to the countryside to live with his very poor grandmother who lives alone. Maybe this is not wrong, but it also reflects that the grandmother’s love is for her daughter and grandson. Gender-specific indulgence, the weight of this love placed on anyone, is a weight that life cannot bear.

Because parents love their children, they love deeply and responsibly, but grandma’s love for us has no purpose!

I remember seeing in the movie, Xiao Wu told his grandma that he wanted to eat fried chicken, but grandma had never seen that kind of thing before, so she took the family's specialties to the market to sell them, and then bought a chicken in the rain and brought it back to Xiang Yu. When we were making stewed chicken and gave him the most delicious chicken legs, he was very angry because it was not fried chicken. He angrily pushed his rice bowl directly to the ground and scattered the rice all over the floor. Grandma reluctantly picked up the rice bowl, and because of frugality, she put the rice scattered on the ground into her mouth one by one and ate it.

I couldn't help but cry again, because this scene actually happened countless times when we were children.

This is the case even now. I remember that outside the school, a grandma picked up her grandson and wanted to eat the cakes sold at the roadside stall. However, after buying it, he felt it was not delicious after taking two bites and wanted to throw it away. , grandma quickly picked it up and ate it herself.

This made Sun Tzu feel very embarrassed. In fact, all of this had been happening.

It's just that most of the young children don't understand that the older generation, they don't have to worry about food and clothing like we do now, and the frugality of their generation is engraved in their bones.

Another example is that because Xiao Wu saw the little girl he liked, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed by riding in the car with his grandma, so he asked his grandma to sit on the next bus.

Don’t call it a child, isn’t it less reported in the news? Many parents go to visit their children in college, but the result is that the children are afraid of being embarrassed and even dare not recognize them!

This is true for adult children who have already received education, let alone children?

Grandma took Xiao Wu to the market to sell pumpkins and eat, but she only ordered one portion for Xiao Wu and used the remaining money to buy him shoes.

She herself was wearing a pair of worn-out shoes. They always wanted to give the best they had, but they never thought of asking for anything in return.

In the past, I actually disliked, even hated those long shots that were shot to the end without deletion, because they always made people feel very pretentious and boring.

But at the end of the film, the scene of grandma walking home with a cane on the steep stone road at the foot of the mountain was shown using a long lens commonly used by film school students. I used to dislike this so-called laziness the most. pattern, but when I saw that scene, I finally understood that the profound meaning of many films, and our emotions, are the important hub that drives the emotional spin of all films.

I just remember that I hope that shot will not stop, just like the love we give to our loved ones cannot stop. It was in that scene that I learned how precious it is to bring love home and hide it deep in your heart.

Therefore, Director Dog really understands us. The movie may seem like a dull plot, but as the story progresses its inner language can penetrate the depths of each of our hearts.

Because each of us has feelings, and when the film is based on trivial details in life, it will undoubtedly allow each of us to deeply invest our feelings in the film, and let our feelings develop with the development of the film. It develops based on the emotional development in the film.

It’s more because we who watch movies have grown up, and our grandmothers are also old.

Therefore, when the grandmother in the movie was talking to her friend who owned a grocery store, another old man said "see you again before you die", which moved me very much. This is the great wisdom of life. The grandmother in the movie took the supplements brought by her mother to see another old man who lived alone. The old man also sighed, I am fine, I am just old.

Their indifference to material life and respect for life are something we must learn from throughout our lives.

I'm very happy and sad, but the happy thing is that Xiao Wu in the movie finally feels the love of his grandmother.

Sadly, I didn’t realize it until this moment.

In fact, after watching the movie, my mind went blank. I wanted to go home inexplicably, but I knew this was impossible. Maybe the world is like this. We grow up and gain youth, but at the same time we also Losing them is a sad pattern.

The title of the movie is "Love·Going Home", but I prefer the other title "Grandma's Home". It is the place that carries our warmest love. That place may not be big, and it may not have a big TV , there is no computer, it is even very simple, but it is our warmest grandma’s home! "

Just like the film review above, in fact, many people are moved not by this "other people's stories", but by their own experiences.

They were not moved by the rickety figure, but by the figure in their own memories or minds.

One film critic summed it up: “

The movie uses the most plain story, but easily made us cry. Because movies always remind us of how long it has been since we visited our elderly people at home. They always love us without regrets and raised us, but we don’t have time to accompany them until they grow old. Sometimes I even feel that they are very old and annoying, and they don’t understand our lives at all. Little do we know that they have given us all their best time. I hope that we can cherish the time when the elderly are alive, work hard to accompany them, and don’t leave any time for ourselves. Sorry, please be filial to the elderly. "
