Original: Snow First Clear
There are many actresses around the world who have won the reputation of "film queen", but do you know who the oldest actress is?
She is the Chinese actor Huang Suying.
Mention this name, I believe many people will feel unfamiliar. This is because Huang Suying has been playing "small roles". Like Mama Wu in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Grandma Gazi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and Old Lady Huang in "Flying Over the Old People's Home".
At the age of 84, Huang Suying won the Huabiao Award and the Best Actress Award at the Chinese Film and Media Awards for her outstanding performance in "The Man Who Hurt Me in the World Went". In order to portray the role of mother, she was 82 years old at the time and shaved her hair.
"The Man Who Hurt Me the Most in the World Went" was released in 2002, directed by Ma Liwen and starring two actors, Sichengova and Huang Suying, with a Douban score of 8.4. Sichenkova is familiar to everyone, she is the filial piety of the Kangxi Dynasty, the second grandmother of the "Great Mansion Gate", and a well-known artist.
The film is based on the author Zhang Jie's collection of essays of the same name, taken from the real experiences of Zhang Jie herself and her mother.
In 1991, Zhang Jie's mother, who was in her eighties, died. In more than a year of grief, Zhang Jie used more than 100,000 words to record the last eighty days and nights of her mother's life, as well as the self-blame and mourning in her heart that could never be filled.
On the basis of retaining the original emotion of the original work, director Ma Liwen screened out the textual materials suitable for the audiovisual media of the film.
The original work is biased towards the portrayal of the character's heart, and the film is more through the superb acting skills of actors such as Sichen gaowa and Huang Suying, which triggers the emotional resonance of the audience and presents fragmented and fragmented characteristics.
The film mainly tells the final moments between a middle-aged female writer and her mother.
Parents are there, life still has a place to return; parents go, life is only the way home. For the middle-aged female writer Ha, her life still has a place to come. His mother, 80 years old, lives in a half-house in the courtyard, and he hired a babysitter to take care of her mother's diet. She always felt that this mother, who had supported the family alone at a young age, would not lose to aging so easily, so she was at ease to focus on her writing, signing and going abroad.
A chance homecoming, first through the bustle of the neighbor's house, and then saw the cold and cold of the mother. In the face of the little nanny's reminder, the mother's first reaction is to grab the phone. In the face of the sudden visit, the first thing the mother asked was: "Who are you looking for?" The mother, whom she had not seen for many days, suddenly became trembling, her vision became blurred, and her consciousness was not very clear.
This paragraph of detail is portrayed very vividly, that is, how many elderly people living alone are cold and helpless, and they are also echoed one by one in the follow-up. The action of grabbing the phone has been injected into the subconscious of the elderly, and this subconscious, after the subsequent confusion of the elderly, once used the bathroom shower as a telephone. Subconsciously, the mother's daughter would only contact herself on the phone. The last time we met, I can't remember when, when the neighbor praised her daughter as a well-known writer and her granddaughter studied overseas, but the mother was most envious of the three generations of the neighbor's family, and the children and grandchildren were on their knees.
Reminded by a friend, Ha took his mother for a physical examination. The result of the examination is that the mother has a pituitary tumor and brain atrophy.
On the one hand, it is conservative treatment of waiting for death, and on the other hand, it is the high risk of advanced-age surgery, so that the sadness and joy of life are written in this way. She asked her husband for help, and all she responded with was casual indifference. She called her daughter in a foreign country, but her daughter said that she had recently been unable to take an important exam, and at this moment she felt that she was alone. The doctor told her to make up her mind, and she could only shout to the doctor in collapse. Fear, helplessness, depression, worry, all kinds of complex emotions wrapped around her heart. Facing the problem that could not be faced, she wanted to turn back to escape, but was surprised to find that her mother was calmly watching her behind her back.
Compared with her daughter's uneasiness, the mother had already made up her mind early: I must have surgery, I don't want to live like that.
After the operation, the attending doctor's radiance and the expert's successful judgment gave a shot of cardiotonic agent, as everyone knows, it seems to be recovering well but it is already exhausted. Mother and daughter raised a glass to drink together, while strengthening exercise, as everyone knows, all this is dancing on the crater, tomorrow and accident really do not know which comes first.
The doctor's professional judgment gave Ha too optimistic capital, she also followed the doctor's advice to "strengthen exercise", regardless of the mother's 80-year-old age, stunned to move the treadmill, fast running, long jump up, the mother is obviously unable to do enough, but can not stand the daughter's pulling, death threats, hard support for a movement that is not suitable for an elderly patient who has not recovered.
In addition, Ha's blind optimism about his mother's body, in addition to intense exercise, also has the ability to take care of himself. When she went to the toilet, she asked her mother to go by herself, but finally one day, her mother could not get up, and the daughter still felt that her mother was pretending to be ill. The mother knew that her limit was approaching, but she did not dare to say something decisive, but only instructed her daughter: "Tomorrow will change, it will be cold, go out and wear more clothes, you will not let me rest assured."
No matter how old the daughter is, the mother still treats her as a child. Sure enough, tomorrow's world really changed, and my mother was gone.
One second before she thought that her mother was pretending to be sick, but the second after that, she had already regretted it too late, she had never thought that her mother would go so fast, just as she had never thought that her mother would grow old so fast.
When her mother was gone, she was annoyed, remorseful, hated herself for not listening to her mother' words, hated her self-righteousness, and hated her fierce words to her mother even more. This kind of remorseful grief is more grief-wrenching than ordinary grief. At this moment, she felt that she was the murderer of her mother: "I failed, I lost to my mother." I can't overcome fate, I can't challenge God, my mother died unjustly, I killed my mother, it was my stubbornness that killed my mother..."
When her daughter returned from the United States, she had already been reduced to an empty shell in chagrin, remorse, and sorrow. A similar scene is played out again. Ha picked up the phone next to him and asked the person with a low eye, "Who are you looking for?" The film ends abruptly here, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.
The film uses a first-person narrative perspective, so that the audience can quickly enter the plot, at the same time, such a plot, many people will encounter, it is easy to resonate with the protagonist.
Children are always content to enjoy the love given by their mothers, but they have never thought about how to repay their mothers' love, and perhaps as people have sung, the greatest love in the world is motherly love.
We are always used to complaining about our mother's nagging, accustomed to enjoying her care, but how much do we do for our mother?
We always push back on work is too busy, life is not easy, but we never find that we grow up much slower than our mothers are aging.
Perhaps, what parents hope for is not necessarily the soaring of their children's successful careers and high-flying, but also the short companionship of parents three meals a day.
"The son wants to be nurtured and does not wait" is the saddest word in the world, if we can understand more, care more, do more things for the mother, even if we can't change the natural law of life, but we can also reduce some regrets.
