Recently, this urban life drama really makes people can't help but complain a few words! Yang Jue and Deng Jiajia starred in "The Old and the Young". It really opened my eyes, as if I had entered a different dimension of distorted family relationships. There are actually that kind of extremely macho father-in-law characters in it, and this plot setting is simply unrealistic to the point of being unbelievable.
Let's talk about this "Little Days" first, I originally thought that with highly recognized and powerful actors like Chen Xiao and Tong Yao playing the leading role, how can we bring us some real and warm urban life scenes full of fireworks in the world. But who would have thought that the development of the plot is called a cloud and foggy, which makes people scratch their heads.
There is no logic in all kinds of conflicts, as if the screenwriter randomly grabbed a handful of unrelated events from a large basket full of chaotic elements, and then forcibly pieced them together, just to make the audience's heart go up and down like a roller coaster, completely losing its direction.
And the role of that father-in-law, oops, that machismo is displayed at its peak. At home, he is simply a "Taishanghuang" general existence, and everyone else has to obediently revolve around him, and if he doesn't obey at all, it will be thunderous and angry. Where is this a normal family relationship, it's simply a chaotic farce. It seems that this family is not maintained by family affection and understanding, but by the tyranny and domineering of the father-in-law.
Let's talk about "The Old and the Young", let's put aside the acting skills of Yang Jue and Deng Jiajia first, but this plot is really powerless to complain, and it feels like falling into an unsolvable circle. That father-in-law is also strange beyond imagination, he looks like he can't be seen all day long, and everything in the family has to be done according to his ideas, and if he is slightly unsatisfactory, he will blow his beard and stare at him, and he will be furious. Is this really a real-life family? I don't think so! This extreme setting makes people feel like watching an absurd drama that is divorced from reality.
In our real-life ordinary people's families, how can there be so many earth-shattering moths. Everyone is working hard for life, and occasionally there are some small frictions and contradictions, which are also reasonable. But in these dramas, the choreographers and directors are simply doing everything in order to create the so-called conflict and heat. They seem to feel that only by portraying family relationships as chickens and dogs and smoky miasma can they attract the audience's attention. But they forget that what can really move people's hearts are those details that are close to life, real and warm, and the bits and pieces of family members supporting each other and growing together.
In these dramas, there is another phenomenon that makes people speechless, that is, for families with good conditions, the choreographers and directors often portray them as reasonable, and the family is as harmonious as a paradise, as if money can solve all problems. For families with average conditions, it is necessary to portray those annoying characters, as if the poor are destined to spend time in quarrels and contradictions, and have no right to enjoy a happy family life. Isn't that overt prejudice? Is it true that the happiness of a family depends only on the amount of money?
Take myself as an example, I live an ordinary life every day, and there will be trivial firewood, rice, oil and salt at home, and there will be times when I disagree. But we will sit down, communicate calmly, and discuss the problem together. We will understand and tolerate each other, because we know that love and trust between family members is the most important thing. is not like in the play, noisy all day long, irrational at all, as if family affection can be thrown out of the sky in an instant.
I really want to ask the directors, have you really walked into the lives of ordinary people? Have you ever experienced the warmth in the ordinary and the happiness in the trivial? Or do you just sit in the comfort of your office and make up the plot with your own wild imagination? Have you ever thought about how such a plot that is detached from reality will mislead the audience?
We, the audience, want to see works that reflect real life. We hope to see the shadow of our own lives in the play, and to see those who work hard for their families like us. We want to see mutual support between husband and wife, love and education between parents and children, and friendship and mutual help between neighbors. And not those false plots that conflict for the sake of conflict, exaggerated for the sake of exaggeration.
I also want to ask everyone, have you ever watched "The Old and the Young"? What are your impressions? Let's talk together and see if we can let the choreographers hear the voices of our audience and let them know what we really want. I hope that the future urban life dramas can return to the real and show more beauty and warmth in ordinary life, instead of blindly pursuing dog blood and exaggeration, so that we, the audience, can shake our heads in front of the screen and be full of disappointment.
Let's look forward to the emergence of more truly down-to-earth, warm, and heart-touching urban life dramas in the future, so that we can find resonance, comfort, and strength to move forward from the drama in our busy lives.
