Fifth-generation director Huang Lixin is good at showing real life through small characters, if I choose a film with Huang Jianxin's style, then I am willing to recommend the film "Back to Back, Face to Face" (referred to as "Back to Back"), this 1994 film has been rated by 37,000 people, and still maintains a super high score of 9.4 points, better than 99% of the feature films, many people will even give five-star praise, thanks to the director's portrayal of the classic characters, but also from its profound philosophical connotations of life.
From the title of the movie "Back to Back", it can be known that this movie wants to express a set of hypocritical styles behind a set of faces, Huang Jianxin formed a realistic reflection and stylized film style in that year, so "Back to Back" through Wang Shuangli, the acting director of the cultural center with strong work ability, constantly encountered work difficulties, reflecting the social phenomena that prevailed at that time, to see the big in the small, to know the small, and many truths have practical significance in today's work.
The film is mainly two lines, one is through his tricks to various successor curators to make trippers, expressing his desire to "become an official", the other is his family life, his father's traditional conservative ideas of preferring sons to daughters make him always long for a grandson, so he painstakingly tortures his granddaughter, hoping to get a birth permit by making his granddaughter "disabled", fulfilling his wish to get a grandson.
Niu Zhenhua was once a drama actor, his performance is simple, usual, soft and rigid, he played Wang Shuangli deep in the way of the officialdom, good at scheming, such as for the daughter of Director Leng, he tried to provide a post for her, this is a kind of interest transmission, and this phenomenon was repeatedly forbidden in society at that time, and it became a common practice.
The film uses a humorous way to ironize, cold and unable to participate in the "open recruitment", this "integrity" approach could have achieved its goal through black box operations, but at this time it has become a hot yam that cannot be shirked. At this time, Wang Shuangli's little cleverness came in handy, and he instructed all the judges to give each applicant the same score to end this comical farce, which was not only easy to use, but also "fair and just".
As for the newly appointed Director Ma, Wang Shuangli used the housing problem to clamp down on the inflamed accountant Li, and behind his back, he actually warned Li Accountant not to think that the new leaders had come, so he ignored those who were actually in power, and at the same time, he also repaid Li Di with some construction kickbacks. Profit and temptation, chaos and take."
Wang Shuangli adopted the method of isolated leadership, recruited Li Accountant, Lao Song and Lao Luo of the literary group into his command, ostensibly constantly giving advice to Director Ma and making him mistakenly think that he was his own person, but these suggestions were all faint moves, and as a leader, he naturally had to bear the responsibility brought about by it, and the leader's sentence "will not do things" has determined the future of Director Ma, and all actions are driven by interests.
In addition, the network has a special role in China, in the health inspection, the construction period was artificially delayed, so that the new curator is full of attitude, which fully proves the ability gap between the new curator and Wang Shuangli, and the "leader umbrella photo" shows that Wang Shuangli attaches great importance to details, and understands the heart of the leader.
In the cultural center, although because of institutional reasons, most people rely on dead wages to eat, Wang Shuangli always has no money, colleagues always wait for salary, everyone is eager for their work not to go wrong, which constitutes the most direct motivation for Wang Shuangli to want to be promoted, they want to work more at ease, although the responsibility is heavier, but still enjoy it.
The next successor, Director Yan, is a secretary, who is partial to civilian work, has little experience in grass-roots work, and because he has just taken office to monopolize power, this practice is tantamount to marginalizing Wang Shuangli, which is a subordinate to wang Shuangli, who is scheming and calculating, and this kind of open gun and dark arrow fighting method is very distinctive, and the essence of "back-to-back" is displayed through the "lower nine streams" means of shoemakers, which has its profound connotation.
First of all, this shoemaker is no one else, it is Wang Shuangli's old father, according to his father's words, "I have been repairing shoes all my life, what person has not seen", although at the bottom, but the people at the bottom have the wisdom of the people at the bottom, so the old father's shirtless battle has a very good sense of "show to meet the soldiers", which also shows that after Director Yan reflected on the "people are water, officials are boats" Truth, water can carry boats, but also can overturn boats, which provides a clear and clear case lesson for all rulers.
Chinese intellectuals always pursue the concept of "the poor are good for themselves, and the rich are also good for the world", so Wang Shuangli, who has been repeatedly frustrated in the workplace, will also be lost and hesitant, and Xiao Yan will be reinstated after he leaves, which is a feature of the officialdom, which makes Wang Shuangli realize that he is "not hard in his roots", not in the struggle for power, but in the struggle for power, there is no hope for his own efforts, in the workplace, this phenomenon is still there, reflecting the words "step back from the sea and the sky".
Wang Shuangli has a kind side, when the monkey exposed the scandal between Director Yan and Xiao Lele, he took a firm stance: "Xiao Lele is a girl's family, let her behave in the future?" Obviously, the struggle at work is one thing, and the personal attack is another, and even if this way can give him power, he feels very ashamed, which is his bottom line as a person, so he returns to the philosophy of "contentment and happiness".
Heaven will not fail everyone who cares, after the recovery of a serious illness, happy to get a noble son, Wang Shuangli's view of fame and fortune is more interesting, at this time, Director Yan and Xiao Lele ran, this unexpected continuous reversal has become the biggest highlight of the film, the more deliberately want to get but often self-defeating, this real and unexpected experience is more likely to have a sense of substitution.
The valuable thing about the film is the open-ended ending, in the smoke-filled cultural center, Wang Shuangli is in a hurry every time, this small temple constitutes the prototype of the officialdom for thousands of years, people can't see through, can't figure it out, but it has its own operation law, in the end there will be a successor or Wang Shuangli as the curator for the audience to choose for themselves.
Among all sentient beings, everyone is "hard" to live, sometimes those seemingly "clever" tricks finally become stones to smash their own feet, "Back to Back" with rich connotations, three-dimensional vivid character images and several realistic work and life cases, for us to connect the "blood bond-like political alliance", it seems to be "internal friction", in fact, it is the life we are experiencing.
