Many viewers who have seen the movie "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" have a good evaluation of this movie, and Douban also gave a high score of 8.6. People who have seen the original novel have said that the movie is much warmer than the novel, although it still makes people pierce the heart.
When I first watched it, Ma Xuewu, who was sympathetic to many people in marriage and finally committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, was squeezed into the river by a wife who was so strong and incomprehensible, which was really pitiful. But after two brushes and three brushes of the movie, I realized how despicable Ma Xuewu, who jumped into the river and committed suicide, was to take revenge on his wife.
He forced his wife, Li Baoli, to exhaust her efforts to raise their two sons alone, but after 10 years, she was swept out of the house, all because of a photo of his lover hidden in the book before jumping into the river. He concluded that the rude wife could not have turned over his books, and that he had shown them to his son.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > seems to take the marriage they need, but it is actually the beginning of the tragedy</h1>
The heroine Li Baoli's mother's home conditions are very poor, but she is a fish vendor in the vegetable market. But a city girl who grew up in Wuhan, a beautiful person, in the 90s, the identity of a city person made her a little proud. Her husband, Ma Xuewu, was a college student in the 90s, and his status as a countryman made him feel a little inferior, but he also had some intellectual pride in him.
The combination of Li Baoli and Ma Xuewu is not a vigorous love, but more like a transaction to take what they need.
Li Baoli looked at the identity of Ma Xuewu University student, rejected the many suitors around her and chose this poor rural student who had nothing, in her words:
"Literate people have a high IQ, this thing has been passed down from generation to generation, and the son I have born will not be bad after that." In the future, my son will go to college, become a high official, and make a lot of money, and I will not worry about it in this life and the next life, and I can also get the light."
After graduating from university, Ma Xuewu from the countryside was assigned to work as a technician in a factory in Wuhan, and in order to take root and stay in Wuhan, he could only change his hukou to become a city person by getting married.
In this way, Li Baoli, a small citizen of the city, married Ma Xuewu, a "phoenix man" in the countryside, and the hidden dangers of marriage were also buried here.
Li Baoli does not look up to Ma Xuewu, who is a nest, although she has only moved into a big house because of her husband; Ma Xuewu also looks down on Li Baoli, who is a vitriolous and mean city servant, although his wife relies on this strong money to support the family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > marriages where women are strong and men are weaker and farther apart, is it a woman who is strong or a man who is weak? </h1>
Although Li Baoli is a city person, in the end, she is a big grinning city rough person. From a young age, he followed his mother in the vegetable market vendors, and his mother's shrewd and strong, the vulgarity of the city servants was blue, and she was good at calculation and mouthless.
When she moved, she would angrily rebuke the moving company for sitting on the ground and arguing with a group of men in the cramped alley; she would unceremoniously take it away when Ma Xuewu handed the mover a cigarette, and scold Ma Xuewu with a foul mouth that "the nest will pretend to be a good person"; and even more when Ma Xuewu did not want to sleep with her, she would insult her husband without any cover, "Is it not okay?" ”
And Ma Xuewu was basically silent in this marriage, when the moving company sat on the ground, he felt that more was better than less; watching his wife argue with others, he felt ashamed to hide; his wife disciplined his son, he never helped or resisted, and would only do some small actions with his son behind his back to express protest.
Coupled with the fact that Ma Xuewu was promoted to director of the factory office, the rise in social status and the fall of family status formed a strong contrast.
On the outside he is the director respected by everyone, inside he is a "countryman" who is disliked everywhere, and li Baoli's marriage has slowly become his shame from the beginning of the high climb, and it is reasonable to light up the red light.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > derailment was thought to be a rebellion, but became a bigger handle</h1>
Since ancient times, men have three great joys: promotion, wealth, and wife change. Obviously, the first two ma xuewu are already there, and the third is also eager to move.
After being promoted and moving to a new home, Ma Xuewu forcefully proposed a divorce to Li Baoli and slept in the living room from then on. Every day, on the grounds of overtime, I did not go home, but actually invited female colleagues in the factory to drink wine and eat lobster.
Li Baoli panicked, she did not expect that her husband would divorce herself, he obviously vowed to be good to himself for the rest of his life in front of his wife. But obviously the man's mouth is deceitful, the oath is the most unreliable, she still has to work hard to save the marriage.
Therefore, Li Baoli laid down her body for the first time in the world, prepared meals every day and waited for her husband to return, and even became cautious in speaking. In the end, he also moved out his son Xiao Bao to persuade her husband to go back to the bedroom to sleep, but some people outside Ma Xuewu were not flustered and were not moved at all.
Li Baoli sensed that something was wrong with her husband, what gave him such arrogance? She wanted to find out. So Li Baoli followed her husband and accidentally found her husband and Zhou Fen, a union clerk in the factory, walking into a hotel arm in arm.
She inquired all the way to the door number of the two men's rooms, and listened to the sound of her husband and the other women struggling outside the house, and Li Baoli was so angry that she wanted to pick up something and smash the door and enter the bed, but she did not do it.
She walked out of the hotel trembling, dialed the telephone booth on the corner, and reported Ma Xuewu and Zhou Fen for prostitution.
In the 1990s, the issue of work style was a matter of great importance, especially for state-owned enterprises. Li Baoli knew what her approach meant, but she couldn't bear to swallow her anger.
Not surprisingly, Ma Xuewu was demoted and Zhou Fen was directly expelled. Li Baoli pretended to go to the police station to lead people without knowing it, although Wan Jian had to defend her husband with a few words:
"Man, as long as a woman takes the initiative to paste it, which is not like a cat that has lost its paws." Someone talks to him, is he attractive, I don't care about it? ”
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > one blow after another, and he killed himself to give his wife a fatal blow</h1>
Ma Xuewu never expected that his wife would look at his cheating so calmly. Out of shame and gratitude for not surrendering, Ma Xuewu never mentioned the divorce again and took the initiative to move back to the bedroom.
In fact, if Li Baoli can change and slightly restrain her unforgiving nature, perhaps the family can be maintained, but the premise is that she has to unconditionally forgive her husband's betrayal.
But if she forgives her husband, how can she forgive herself? Li Baoli can't do it, and few women can really do it.
Therefore, her harsh rebuke to her husband has become more intense, and superficial forgiveness and acceptance have become her chips, "countrymen", "nest waste", "bad manners", she finds inner balance in verbal revenge, and also pushes her husband farther and farther away.
Not long after, Ma Xuewu's old wife came from the countryside, her son moved to a new home, and she wanted to come and spend time with her son, but she never knew her son's situation.
Ma Xuewu didn't even say hello, and directly picked up the old woman, which made Li Baoli very unhappy. On the one hand, when we are poor, you do not come, but you come with you, so why? On the other hand, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and Li Baoli feels that her position is threatened.
Her displeasure was written on her face, and her mother-in-law greeted her and pretended not to hear, and when she arrived at home, she immediately ordered Ma Xuewu to send the old woman back, there was no place for her.
But she was still soft-hearted after all, watching her mother-in-law leave with a large bag and a small bag, and silently clean up the house. The essence is not bad, but a woman's attitude towards her in-laws often depends on her husband's attitude towards herself.
Ma Xuewu's bad luck is still behind. It was difficult to settle the old woman, Ma Xuewu received a notice from the factory, and recently asked for layoffs, because of the style problem, Ma Xuewu was the first batch of layoffs.
Ma Xuewu was depressed in his heart, and there was no one to tell him, so he could only go to find his old lover Zhou Fen again. In Zhou Fen's place, he learned an unacceptable reality: the person who reported them that day was Li Baoli!
From the director of the factory office to the ordinary employee to the laid-off worker, but in just a few months, he could have completed the class jump through the promotion of the position, but his wife personally destroyed everything for him. Having lost his only proud capital, and having lived under the oppression of his wife all his life, he suddenly felt desperate and sad.
On that day, it was raining heavily in Wuhan. Ma Xuewu hovered over the Han River Bridge. In the notebook, he left a letter to his son Xiaobao and his mother, and carefully hid the photo of his lover Zhou Fen in the book, even though he jumped into the Han River, with dissatisfaction and revenge.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a flat burden to pick up the burden of the family, sweating all his life, but since then he has become a family coolie</h1>
Hearing the news that Ma Xuewu committed suicide, Li Baoli was not only sad, but also more gritted teeth of hatred. "Isn't his M's Ma Xuewu unemployed?" Can you jump into the river? All the men in the world are like you, and the Han River will be full of floating corpses! Ma Xuewu until his death made Li Baoli look down on him.
At the funeral, his son Xiaobao slammed into Li Baoli with force: "You gave it back to my father, you forced my father to die!" In the eyes of the son, the father has always been bullied by the mother, and the father who is gentle with him is forced to die by the mother.
Li Baoli felt that her son was still young and did not understand things. You Ma Xuewu is dead, the family cannot collapse, without you we will still live, and we will live better.
In order to support her family, Li Baoli quit her job selling socks on Hanzheng Street and started a "flat burden". This means that with a flat burden in the market string, there is a need for porters she rushed up to pick goods for people, dozens of pounds to 18 pounds, the remuneration of about 5 yuan trip, dirty and tired and undignified.
A beautiful city girl ran to sell coolies, was called to drink, the men rushed to work in the pile, the girlfriend looked straight away from the tears, but only the girlfriend would hurt her.
The mother-in-law is at home with her grandchildren, and Li Baoli's salary is handed in every day. Xiao Bao remembers her mother, Li Baoli can't go into her son's heart every morning and return late, and slowly she has become a coolie in the family, not a family.
10 years, in the movie is a black curtain flash, but many parents like her hard work really survived the 10 years. Bending her back and boiling her hair white, from the beautiful young woman to the city maid, Li Baoli's pride and dignity were washed away with sweat.
It was not easy for Xiaobao to take the college entrance examination, she was nervous and excited, it was rare that she did not work for a day, and she wanted to spend a good day with her son at home. The mother-in-law said: "You still go out, don't hang around at home, Xiao Bao is more upset when he sees you."
Li Baoli only promised to give the money to her mother-in-law, instructed the college entrance examination to eat well for Xiao Bao in a few days, took a flat burden and went out again, where did the mother-in-law not know, where Li Baoli had a place to go, but she did not care.
Fortunately, Xiao Bao competed for gas and scored the first place in the city, and the future was naturally bright. In response to her expectations before marriage, "educated people have high IQ, this thing will be passed down from generation to generation, and the son I will have after that will not be bad."
Li Baoli thought, ah, another 10 years of struggle, for Xiao Bao to go to college. Then earn money to buy a house for Xiao Bao, watch him get married and start a family, and then he will be able to enjoy happiness easily.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the nest husband's fiercest revenge against the strong wife is hidden in the lover's photo hidden before jumping into the river</h1>
"I salute you with this glass of wine, and after drinking you, I will not be my mother." It was you who hurt me for 10 years without a father, and now that I'm finally grown up and admitted to college, I don't need you anymore and I've had enough of you. Tomorrow, you will move out of here, this house is left by my dad, it has nothing to do with you."
Li Baoli would never have thought in her life that such words would come from the mouth of her son Xiao Bao. Like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, crushing the mother's dream.
Li Baoli wanted to find her son theorized, and it turned out that her son was as indifferent as she had treated Ma Xuewu. In the suicide note and book left by his father, he found a photo of Zhou Fen, and later, he went to look for Zhou Fen.
When they met, he did not have the slightest harsh rebuke for his father's lover, but respectfully asked her: "Did you and my father really love each other at the beginning?" How are you guys? ”
Zhou Fen looked at Xiao Bao and said to him, "Do you know what your father did before committing suicide?" It's to confirm that the person who reported it is not your mother, and then he went to jump into the river."
Xiao Bao placed Zhou Fen's photo in front of Li Baoli and said to her: "It was you who forced my father to die, and I finally know why he didn't leave you a word until he died, it was you who forced him to die!" Why did he clip a picture of that person in a book? Because my dad knows, you can't turn this book! ”
This is where Ma Xuewu is fierce, he knows what his wife cares about, but he wants to destroy her; he knows that his wife will not turn over his own books, but his son will.
You see, Ma Xuewu has been gone for 10 years, but she is still tormenting Li Baoli in a ghostly way, so that the proud she has never dared to say a word in front of her mother-in-law, like atonement as a cow and a horse.
In the eyes of the child, the father who was unfaithful to the marriage was not half at fault, but instead had endless pity and remembrance, and even betraying the family became love in his eyes. Ma Xuewu used his "loss of voice" before his death and his "silence" after his death to tell his son all the time: I was forced, I am innocent.
The stronger Li Baoli could not win the war with her son, although she shouted that she would fight bo gongtang with her son.
She packed up her belongings, just in time to carry things. When the real estate deed was handed over to the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law said: "In fact, I know that you have not been easy for so many years", turned around and said: "I will go as soon as possible to complete the transfer, to the name of Xiaobao"
Li Baoli, a person with a foreign surname, left the home where she had lived for 10 years, and her merit and fame had nothing to do with her.
His son Xiao Bao watched his mother leave downstairs, and Ma Xuewu's hatred in his heart and the selfish indifference passed down through his blood made him not say a word to his mother. Where can Li Baoli go? No one cares where she goes, and no one cares what kind of life she will live in the future.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end:</h1>
When I first saw this movie, like many people, I would unconsciously hate Li Baoli, a woman with a mouth, but after a closer look, I found that most of the tragedy came from Ma Xuewu's meanness.
He despised his wife's servant, but he was content to enjoy the convenience of his wife's shrewdness; he did not dare to rebel against his wife, so he always posed as a victim in front of his children, distorting the relationship between parents and children; he wanted to fulfill his filial piety, but he only put a mess in front of his wife.
He has always only played yin, is arrogant on the inside, and flatters the outside.
There is a detail in the movie that when the old woman came to surrender, Ma Xuewu did not say hello, so Li Baoli's dissatisfaction was also reasonable. But after Xiao Bao took her grandmother home, Xiaozi Ma Xuewu sat on the living room sofa with both hands, busy cleaning up, or the annoying Li Baoli.
"Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" is a woman's tragedy, a woman's gentleness is spoiled, a woman's strength is cold, and a man's dignity is not given by others, but defended by himself.
This movie also makes us reflect: how to enter marriage cautiously?
The tragedy of ma Xuewu and Li Baoli's marriage is not so much a tragedy caused by the personalities of the two people, but rather a tragedy that is doomed from the beginning.
There are not many couples who are attracted to each other, or what attracts them is not the other's own advantages, but the external conditions, and even for the other party itself, they are not looked at by each other.
But marriage is not a short contract, marriage is a lifetime of happiness and long-term running-in.
If you don't look at each other from the beginning, then in the days to come, you will only look at each other more and more. Because life is a process of stripping away the cocoon, the grind of life will only expose us more ugliness and embarrassment.
This movie is so real, so real that it seems that Li Baoli is some aunt Li around us, even with a little shadow of her own life. Small-character movies always carry a little sadness in the truth, perhaps, this is precisely life.
Come to think of it, who doesn't have a sad life? Who isn't hurt by life? But we can't be the deserter-like Ma Xuewu, to be the Li Baoli who shines with a thousand rays, with diamonds and horns, flesh and blood.
You don't have to worry about how miserable she will be after leaving that home, the small people in the crowd, self-amusement and security are their greatest skills. Life kisses me with pain, and I still have fun in pain.
