Originally, I only wanted to lie flat during the Spring Festival holiday, so although I watched "Miracle", "Sniper", "Killer", "Watergate Bridge" and "Four Seas" five Spring Festival files.
I also watched two very interesting films, "Eating Men and Women" and "Waterfall", but some of them planned to publish film reviews after a while, and some did not plan to write anything at all.
I didn't expect to see a black post of "Miracle" last night, I commented a few words in the heart of discussion, and I was blocked.
At one time, I feel a little speechless, and at the same time I feel that when a film review sent out by a person can only accept praise and cannot accept criticism and discussion, it is also quite terrible to act arbitrarily.
For the first time in my life, I was blacklisted, so I decided to write a film review of "Miracle" and discuss it with everyone, partly for the questions of netizens, and partly for last night's black posts.
To be clear, I write film reviews purely for love to generate electricity, there is not so much behind the dark transaction, if there is doubt about what I wrote can be discussed in the comment area, in the heated discussion I will definitely not delete, but do not have no factual basis to denigrate.
Let's get down to business.
There is only one disease in this world, and that is the disease of poverty
There is a hot question on Zhihu: "What moment makes you feel that everyone in the world is suffering?" ”
Gao Zan's answer basically revolved around lack of money and illness.
This reminds me of the sentence in the movie "I am not a medicine god": "There is only one disease in this world, and that is the disease of poverty."
In the past, I always regarded poverty as a word, but the oppression of real life and this time watching "Miracle", I suddenly realized that the original word can be divided into:
Poor and sick are two bitter words, and the most bitter thing in the world is probably the combination of poor people getting sick.
Schopenhauer once said:
"Life is a drama, aside from external differences, the core of everyone is the same, they are poor actors, full of powerless pain for their fate." 」
Jing Hao, played by Yi Qianxi, was initially the one who was full of powerless pain about his fate.
Her mother died early, and her sister suffered from hereditary heart disease and usually needed to take medicine to maintain, but she also needed to collect money to complete the heart transplant as soon as possible.
Family rent, water and electricity, sister's tuition, weekday medical expenses, etc. all need to spend money, and the cost of heart transplant surgery also needs hundreds of thousands.
The devil combination of poor people + sick, a complete ordinary family of four may not be able to bear it, but twenty-year-old Jing Hao needs to face it alone.
But how difficult it is for a low-level person with no education, no qualifications, and no background to legally earn a sum of money in a short period of time.
When I bought a batch of flawed second-hand mobile phones with all my wealth, I planned to refurbish and sell them to make a difference.
Fate and Jing Hao made a joke again, the country cracked down on the refurbished machine market, and the mobile phone fell into his hands.
The pain of fate and powerlessness was instantly pressed against Jing Hao, who was only twenty years old, but he did not dare to stop, because the god of death was asking for his life.
How humble can poverty be?
I think that being poor can make people humble enough to stand up to bend their spines.
Because you can't pay the rent and the factory rent, you need to bend over and over again to plead with the landlord for a period of grace;
Because you can't find employees, you need to bend down and plead with acquaintances around you for help;
Because you can't find a job, you need to bend down and ask someone to give you an introduction;
Because of the illegal money, you need to bend down and apologize;
Because you can't afford to pay your employees' wages, you need to bow your head and plead with the manager to pay a little deposit;
Because after struggling with friends, you also need to bend down to pick up the scattered cash scattered on the ground;
Because the house was forcibly taken back, it was necessary to bend down and ask someone else to take it in....
Twenty-year-old Jing Hao bent down again and again, and his cruel life made him lack a little youthful arrogance in his whole body, humbly struggling in the quagmire of life, leaving only a little stubbornness in his eyes that had not yet confessed his life.
Poverty can make people humble enough to save their lives.
In the film, Jing Hao has two fatal acts.
The first time was when two illegal alchemy boys stared at his pile of old mobile phones, drove to steal them in the middle of the night, and were caught by Jing Hao when they loaded all the mobile phones away and planned to leave.
The two people who stole the mobile phone saw that the momentum was not right, and they were going to drive away, at which point Jing Hao quickly rushed up to fight with them and picked up the truck in the form of death.
He had passed death several times to stop the van from escaping, and the first thing he did after falling out of the car with one of the thieves was to grab him first with his hands with two broken fingers to prevent him from escaping.
At the police station, the policeman said to him: "Just for a bunch of old mobile phones, don't even want to die?" Not. ”
He replied firmly with a look in his eyes: "As for." ”
The second time was when he concealed the news of a finger injury and continued to work dangerously at height.
Three days after being found injured, the foreman Yue Ge roared, "Don't you want to die?" Drop the bucket down today, drop you down tomorrow? How did Xiao Xu die, have you forgotten? Ask for money, don't die, go! ”
Both the policeman and Brother Yue asked Jing Hao, "Don't you want to die?" ”
In the same sentence, the policeman asked lightly, because he had not been tripped by money for life and death, and he did not understand that some people have to have money before they die.
Yue Ge asked hoarsely, because he was also a poor man struggling for life, and he could understand some of Jing Hao's difficulties, but he didn't necessarily know that moment was tormented by the countdown of the God of Death.
Most of these people who have not been tripped by money and who have questioned the rationality of the pickpocketing plot are people who have not yet been forced into a desperate situation by life.
Here to confess my favorite actor Zhang Yu, whether it is the squad leader of "The Unknown Generation", "Sniper" or the Yue Brother in this film, whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, each of his roles is particularly vivid, and it is not clear that it is Zhang Yu without careful reading.
Just like Tao Zhiyong in the film, he gambled money, but Jing Hao could only gamble for his life.
Desperate, Jing Hao put everything he could use on the gambling table, losing his future and his sister's life is gone, for Jing Hao's old mobile phone and aerial work can be exchanged for money, and money can buy life, his sister's life.
The two heavy rains in the film, the first of which extinguished his dream of making a fortune by refurbishing the machine, and the second almost extinguished his intention to sell parts to Zhao Zong.
I don't know if he ever thought about a hundred of these difficult times?
Maybe working at height and desperately picking up cars is a gamble on every opportunity he can take advantage of, or maybe it's a kind of self-harm that is almost crazy?
The rich may only need to spend money to buy their lives, and there is only one death barrier in life.
But the poor must first sell their lives for money, and then they can have money to buy their lives, and which step is wrong is an abyss.
The two seem to be only one more step, but the poor are often accompanied by low education and no background, and how difficult is it to make some clean money without breaking the law?
The disease of poverty is indeed contagious, and it is difficult to replace the resources of wealth, talent, and power at the bottom, which is the biggest barrier to breaking down the class.
This is also why learning is a shortcut for the children of the poor to counterattack, because only knowledge can always flow downward despite class barriers.
"Miracle" was complained that the ending was too fake? If you have struggled because you have been poor, you will find that that is the reality
In the film, I have three favorite clips: the first is Jing Hao as the director of the factory speaking at the employee's wedding; the second is Jing Hao in a lifeless posture to pick up the car, after being fallen down, he still stubbornly gets up and catches the thief with his injured finger before falling; the third is his counterattack at the end.
But these three fragments were spat upon by many people, and at that time I was really envious of those who could spit on them, because they may never have been treated with full malice by life.
The general wedding spokesperson is either an elder or a unit leader with a higher social status than him, but when Liu Hengzhi got married, he was a twenty-year-old Jing Hao who gave a speech as a factory director.
You see that he has become a boss and a spokesman at this moment, which means that from this moment on he is not only fighting for himself and his sister, but also the employees and their families who rely on him to eat, which is a change in social status and responsibility, but unfortunately some people say that this is to cover up the cruel atmosphere.
Jing Hao's pickpocketing behavior has been discussed earlier and will not be repeated.
Some people also question why the movie is called Miracle? In addition to the highlight moment at the end of Jing Hao's entrepreneurial success, where is the shadow of miracle in the film?
Manager Li in the film knows nothing about What happened to Jing Hao, only when he is a migrant worker with a soaring dream, he ignores Jing Hao's embarrassment, because he does not see value in him.
Zhao Zong is not interested in Jing Hao's life, but he is willing to give Jing Hao a chance, but also to prepare a road for his company, which is a win-win cooperation, but for Jing Hao, Zhao Zong is also a nobleman.
After learning that they had paid countless heartaches to achieve his conditions, Zhao Zong only had one sentence: "It seems that this work is very hard." Then quickly switch business models to negotiate the next cooperation.
Therefore, the capital market emphasizes efficiency, rights, and money, but does not talk about human feelings.
When you can't prove your worth of money in the capital markets, everything here is so cold.
So where is the miracle? I like the interpretation of this miracle by Douban netizens:
Miracles are the watchful eye of every ordinary person.
The early employees of the Jinghao factory were all people at the bottom of society who could not find a job for a long time, including factory women workers whose ears were deafened, clock repair workers with limited mobility, Internet addicted teenagers, marginal people who squatted in prison, and workers with a family of three squeezed into one room.
Twenty-year-old Jing Hao gave full face to Liu Hengzhi's wedding, he forgave Zhang Chao, who was angry and left, drove away the people who intimidated her to sign the contract for Wang Chunmei, and so on.
His sincere efforts were exchanged for the end because when he could not pay the factory rent and could not pay the workers' wages, the employees automatically claimed the task and helped him complete the order together.
Some people say that the behavior of employees who are willing to help rush to work without receiving wages when they are too busy with their own worries is too fake.
In this regard, I just want to say that after stripping away the cloak of money, you can really find that there are still so many ordinary people in this world who have the brilliance and goodness of humanity.
And the kindness and brilliance of this ordinary person is like a beam of light that has brought miracles to Jing Hao's career.
Some people say that the success of Jing Hao at the end is not realistic at all, and most people in real life are entrepreneurial failures, and the heads they touch are broken and bleeding, and they return home disappointed.
But I feel that only by believing in the existence of miracles can there be real miracles.
Because belief itself is the driving force that supports the people at the bottom to move forward.
Someone asked when they were confused:
What kind of end point is worthy of the ups and downs of this road? ”
I think the end of the film is fixed on the 26-year-old Jing Hao becoming the CEO, bathed in flowers and applause, his sister's illness is also cured, the few people who worked with him at the beginning have their own good development, and the perfect reunion is the best answer to the above questions.
In fact, the end of the film reminds me of Yi Qianxi's personal experience, who is also a headwind reversal of the low-level characters to some extent.
Before TFboy debuted, he had also been playing in the circle and had been tepid.
After the debut of the group, he is not the most popular one, and even some fans say that he is ugly, and his resources have not been too good after the dissolution of the group.
This year's Spring Festival file, he rushed to the list of tens of billions of box office actors with two movies in one fell swoop, becoming the first person after 00, which is a miracle, which is somewhat similar to Jing Hao's journey.
The more natural the miracle, the more always appears in the conquest of doom.
Yi Qianxi's 10 billion box office is like this, and so is Jing Hao's twenty-six-year-old CEO, but unfortunately, people can only see the scenery in front of people, and are not willing to pay the efforts of people.
Nietzsche said:
"If there really is a miracle in this world, it is just another name for effort."
When desperate efforts are rewarded enough, this is a miracle in itself, and if even the people at the bottom no longer believe that effort can produce miracles, then life will be swallowed up by darkness.
I used to not understand why everyone liked to watch unnourished comedies, until someone commented that the world was already so bitter, why can't pastimes look at something that makes them happy, even if it's fake.
So please believe in miracles, believe that there is always a beam of light that will illuminate your own flower path, and work with the king.
