In recent years, literary films have become more popular, including some excellent literary films.
For example, Xiaogang Feng's "Youth" tells the story of a generation of enthusiastic young people in the 1970s and 1980s.
Nothing Demands tells the indomitable spirit of several generations in Tsinghua University for their ideals and motherland.
Not long ago, You Shi Jun was moved by a wonderful rehearsal. Let's not talk about those explicit shots and extreme dance pictures. It's very attractive from the cast.
Sandra, yes! She is Lin Qiyue and An Sheng in the left ear and July. She is an actress born for literary films, and her acting skills and looks are impeccable.
Elaine Chung, yes! She is Xiaosui, a female soldier of Fanghua Art Troupe, and won the Best Newcomer Award in the 25th Beijing University Student Film Festival with this film.
With such excellent actors, this film is worth looking forward to. However, a closer look at the director's name "Xu Zhanxiong" seems strange. After another search, it turns out to be a virgin work.
With curiosity, You Shijun carefully read this article "Buckwheat Nagano", and then wrote this article with a puzzled face.
The originality of Buckwheat Nagano is still relatively good. The film tells three stories of three characters, and each story is intertwined in time and space, connecting three unrelated people.
At first glance, there are quite traces of cloud images staggered in time and space.
However, many people have two kinds of feelings inexplicably after watching this movie. One is "Elaine Chung is so beautiful", with a charming figure.
The other is "What's going on?" Is my IQ suppressed by movies?
After watching the movie with doubts, an egg at the end instantly gave us a shot in the arm, not because our IQ dropped, but because the director ruthlessly suppressed it.
The whole film is actually praising homesickness, and it is not easy for young people who have left their homes and dreams to work hard outside.
Without the director's final "didactic" summary, no one would have thought of how a good literary film turned sour.
I have to say that this new generation of director Xu Zhanxiong really dares to shoot, and many European and American master directors can't easily control the staggered space settings, so they are stuck in the plot.
In order to appear more "advanced", the film was finally blurred.
Buckwheat Grows Wild tells the different growth stories, different life experiences and the same tragedy of the three protagonists.
Qiao Yun played by Sandra is a girl born in a small city. Their dream has always been to live in a big city, experience a better life and turn themselves into movies.
But in the face of her sick mother, she didn't have the courage to leave until her brother-in-law raped her.
Sandra's most classic moment in the film is the "floor play".
From the first alert, using language to explore, and then looking for a dagger to protect herself, Sandra showed a little woman's timidity and fear to the fullest.
Then, when the violence happened, Sandra's heartbreaking roar and empty and desperate eyes from the overhead camera angle tore everyone's hearts.
That rape was more like a girl declaring war on the world. She was no longer afraid and bravely chose to go to the big city with her boyfriend.
Unexpectedly, a car accident happened as soon as I entered the city, and my boyfriend was killed. Qiao Yun lives sadly in this dream big city.
Li Mai, played by Zhong Xintong, is an outstanding leader of the Song and Dance Troupe. Her dream is to show herself on a bigger stage one day and even perform abroad.
When opportunity comes, tragedy follows.
Li Mai collided with Qiao Yun on her way to the airport, and her own thigh was badly injured, leaving a permanent scar.
In order to survive, Li Mai had to lower himself to be a dancer in various karaoke bars and dance halls. When she thought she was in love, love rat tricked her into losing everything.
When she thought she had a chance, it turned out that everyone else was coveting her beauty.
In order to get a job, she sacrificed her body, but she didn't expect the other person to die unexpectedly because she was "too excited".
I have to say, Xiaogang Feng has a good eye. In the movie, Elaine Chung perfectly shows a girl's repeated state from heaven to hell to heaven and then to hell.
The superposition of various complex moods makes Elaine Chung's beauty fully bloom.
Many viewers' first impression after watching the movie is "This woman is so beautiful".
When she went to Japan with her dreams, Li Mai smiled and danced. When the car accident kept her away from the stage, she chose to face it in despair, and dancing was accompanied by a kind of persistence; When in love, Li Mai's smile and dance like a rebirth from the fire once again let us see her former state; When she took off her clothes and chose shame, what we saw was a pair of empty eyes and numb limbs.
A beautiful woman who takes art as her lifelong goal can only give up art for the sake of life. This is the reality of life and the tragedy of mankind.
Johnny, here he comes.
With his outstanding performance in the Operation Red Sea, Johnny won the Hundred Flowers Award Award for Best Newcomer in one fell swoop, and was later praised as the "little villain" in Flying Life with Shen Teng.
This time, Wu Feng, played by Johnny in Buckwheat Grows Madly, is more like a deliberately created role, connecting the first two heroines.
Wu Feng is an upright but dark man. Because he secretly loved Li Mai in the opposite building, he finally chose to sacrifice himself to help her get rid of the body.
Without Wu Feng, Li Mai and Qiao Yun would be passers-by or even enemies.
Wu Feng's dream is simple, to get rid of the present living conditions and be brave to be himself. But life is like a quagmire, once you get into it, it's hard to extricate yourself.
It is a good story that buckwheat grows wild, but it has no soul.
We feel sorry for Li Mai's miserable life, Qiao Yun's unyielding fate, Wu Feng's dedication and dedication, and the director's immature control ability.
Three seemingly tragic stories are exactly the necessary stages of our life growth. The growth of Qiao Yun, Li Mai and Wu Feng eventually became the name of this film.
The most important purpose of a literary film is to arouse the feelings of the audience, but all of us will misunderstand the director's intention.
It's probably not that the audience's thoughts are too thin, but that the director's thoughts are too immature.
As a feature film, Buckwheat Nagano was successful because Sandra, Johnny and Elaine Zhong Zhen dared to play it well.
Without their outstanding performance, Douban may not even reach 4.3 points.
As the failure of a literary film Buckwheat Nagano, the director's ability to control the story really needs to be improved.
Although each story is a bit of a wandering foreign land, it is not profound and the expression of ideas is not thorough, so that the audience can't find the core idea.
One really dares to shoot, and three really dare to act. In order to gain attention, the plot of Sandra's rape was directly put on the notice.
A good literary film, as long as the audience can guess the core of the idea, is like a "suspense drama", and its reputation can be imagined.
