"Life Event": People who love this fireworks world

Regardless of the film director Liu Jiangjiang or the producer Han Yan, it has a lot of expressions of the life and dialects in the Wuhan well in the film; and most audiences who have watched the film are both grounded and old The subject matter of redemption, especially the hero Musan, played by Zhu Yilong, praised the performance of "with the taste of mud". In CCTV6's "Weekend Viewing Survey", there are also reports of "Fireworks in Life" on the world. Fireworks, as well as the cure brought about by the psychology of most ordinary audiences, are about the main reasons for "Life Event" to create considerable box office and well -received at the moment.

It is worth noting that four months ago, in the propaganda song MV released by "Life", the "God" sung by the second -hand rose band, with the "earth flavor" fashion unique to the band, and many core elements of the film, such as Mo Sanmei's funeral shop named "God of Paradise", the embarrassing funeral professional characteristics of "unable to be able to do it, can be resistant to see", and the theme of "life except death, no major events", etc. With the presence of the Pan, the film itself secretly coincides with the spiritual temperament of this "red and white happy event" band. Director Liu Jiangjiang told the media: "Although we inevitably mention death," Life Event "is actually talking about how to live well. Life."

Obviously, filming of fireworks, living a living, life is the creative purpose of this film and its expectations for ordinary audiences. This is also reflected in the polishing of the film from the plot to the details, and even from the demands of audio and video to the pursuit of the overall style. When this kind of fireworks are permeated on the streets and lanes, people, women, children, and young people, etc., the joy, sorrow, sweetness and bitterness can be used to force the audience to face life and death with their more calm power and the momentum of their hearts. Feel the same. It is also thanks to the permeability and immersion of this fireworks that the audience can inadvertently realize that whether the desperate running on the street or the dedication of the heavy rain, whether the stars in the sky or the blooming of the fireworks in the air, are actually blooming, in fact, they are actually both. It is the poetic presentation of daily life and ordinary life in the film.

In fact, movies are human fireworks.

This kind of fireworks on the world not only originated from the life experience and life experience of the autonomous creators, but also linked with a specific atmosphere and unique atmosphere that they tried to create from the beginning to the end in the process of film creation. It is the capture and grasp of this "air" that is ubiquitous and timely "air" that makes the camera seem to be in a lively and hot market at any time. The crowd that is not just rests. In the combination of acoustic and painting with a lot of instantaneous or wool effects, the rough texture and the wild power of life, but also maintain a relatively rare and normal mind in the face of the image of the deceased's image and funeral ceremony; More importantly, it echoes the family concept of the Chinese and the inherent character of the city of Wuhan. The various interpersonal relationships showed by the film, especially the different filial piety or affection in various families, maybe From time to time, the audience will feel helpless and sighing, but when facing the new life and the death of people, the protagonist father and son (or father and daughter) three generations through difficult dialogue and final settlement, finally elaborated on the fireworks of the world on earth. The true significance makes the theme of the film further sublimate, and naturally leads to a more transparent life and death state: the so -called fireworks on the world are neither the darkness of the world's darkness and the abyss of human nature, nor the individual fate of a chicken hair and the historical logic of the king's defeat. Instead, the stars move and go to the east of Dajiang, but also the continuous and endless generation between people.

Therefore, I can understand why the ending song "The Stars of the Stars" quoted Li Shutong's "Farewell" with lyrics and gentle mood; it can also be understood that according to the theme song "Life Event" created by the film: "I love This clutch loves this sadness, love this fireworks. "Fireworks on earth are originally human purposes. From this perspective, the movie should not have set other ultimate ultimate.

Movies are human fireworks.
