I haven't known how to write a film review of "Stop-and-Go".
Douban scored a high score of 8.0, not just for Hu Ge and Gao Yuanyuan.
This is Ye Qiuchen's 24th year of writing and writing, but after watching the whole movie, I suddenly felt that I had nowhere to write.
As a middle-aged person, as a middle-aged person who loves to write, as a middle-aged person who still has a desire for creation, it seems that every plot is inadvertently pricking my nerves.
How miserable is a middle-aged man who makes a living from creation, it feels as if he has said it all in the movie, but it seems that he has said nothing.
Wu Di, who is over 35 years old, chose to return to his hometown because he couldn't get along in Beijing. He couldn't find a job that suited him, and he was in a gap for a long time, but he directly refused the job that his father gave up his son asked him for.
I met my favorite old classmate Feng Liuliu, and learned that when I was a child, my nickname was the "green onion" of which green onion you counted, not the smart "Cong".
The plot design here is amazing, and it directly gives Wu Di's life a question.
He is living in the gap between self-perception and reality, and he has been struggling to survive.
Wu Di's mother, Jiang Meiling, once joked that her son was not poor by chance, but by strength.
But Wu Di disagreed, he felt that he could fight again.
Feng Liuliu asked, Liu Zhong, who is in the same class, has become the vice president of private equity funds, haven't you all met him in Beijing?
Wu Di said that he may be living in a different Beijing.
Yes, it seems that there are really many "Beijings", and there is a world of difference.
In addition to breathing the same air, income and class determine the quality of your life.
Feng Liuliu is also a middle-aged woman, she worked as a reporter, often staying up late and working overtime for the topic of the documentary, and in the end she couldn't do what she wanted. I have to take care of my children after work, and I don't have the time and space to belong to me.
Don't middle-aged people want to change?
Of course I want to, but sometimes I just want to.
Because the cost of change is too high, Ms. Jiang Meiling is right, people always subconsciously choose the easier path to take.
As for the other, more difficult mode, let the people of the parallel time and space do it.
In reality, most people stop there.
So, they photographed this "parallel time and space".
Wu Di, who has always been too lazy to fight for it, is ready to make his script "It Seems to Be an Old Man" into a movie with multiple encouragements.
Life is realistic, but words and movies can still be dreamed.
In order not to shatter the dream, you have to shoot it, otherwise it will be in vain.
Everything is very simple, my own text is the script, my house is the shooting scene, my old classmates are the filming party, my sister is the staff, and my mother is the heroine.
In addition to the plot of the feature film, Feng Liuliu also filmed a lot of tidbits and details on the set, if it can be edited carefully, the effect should be good.
It's like when the wig flies, everyone laughs, and the audience in the movie is also the audience.
But the unexpected came.
Ms. Jiang Meiling left this world suddenly.
For a dream, Wu Di lost his mother.
Feng Liuliu's boss took the existing materials and edited the documentary of "Wu Di, a Failed Youth in the North Drift", and signed himself as the director, and actually won the award.
And what about the guy who is actually making movies?
Wu Di finally waited for a 5% discount on the prototype of the massage chair, but his mother who wanted to give a gift had already left.
Wu Di was about to invite Feng Liuliu to go to the concert together, and the other party was also typing, but he didn't send out the message.
Ms. Jiang Meiling's mung bean soup popsicle is only the last one, and it is gone after eating.
So, let's do some more.
Wu Di made up the scene of the movie, and the father who was most opposed to him took the place of his mother and played the heroine with his back.
He is making mung bean soup popsicles, he is playing Ms. Jiang Meiling, as long as he is still doing these things, then Ms. Jiang Meiling will never leave.
I don't really like the dog-tailed mink "three years later", if I can end the finale after Wu's father turns around, it will actually be more perfect.
The down-to-earth Wu Di drove a taxi, and happened to meet Feng Liuliu, who had remarried, on the road.
The two cars are staggered with each other, stop-and-go, just like life.
Finally, Ms. Jiang Meiling won the Best New Actor Award at the 10th Heat Wave Film Festival for "It Seems to Be an Old Man".
This is actually the creator of "Stop and Go" giving personal emotions to it, which is not only a beautification of reality, but also a beautiful hope.
Hard work must always be rewarded, although hard work may not necessarily be rewarded.
This movie is too suitable for middle-aged people to watch, and it seems that only middle-aged people can understand it, or only middle-aged people can find resonance in the story and then empathize.
What are middle-aged people still tossing around, but what are they living without tossing.
Father Wu said at the end of the film that none of their generation lived the kind of people they wanted to be.
Is it just their generation?
Who has lived to be the kind of person they want to be?
Life is like that, it's not that good, it's not that bad, just get used to it.
Accustomed to their mediocrity, they have flattened their mentality, and life is just life.
In life, how can you not leave regrets?
You don't have to think about saying hello and saying goodbye to everything, you just know what kind of person you are, and you just need to be worthy of your heart.
In fact, there are four layers of movies in the whole movie, the shallowest is the documentary "The People Who Returned to Their Hometown", then "It Seems to Be an Old Man", then the stories of those who made the movie in the camera, and finally "Stop and Go".
You will find that these people who make movies are much better than the movies they make.
This may be the original intention of the creator, the important thing is not the work itself, but the people who work together and work side by side.
This is the first time Ye Qiuchen has watched a movie directed by Long Fei, his professional sense of smell is still very sensitive, he is good at capturing the details of life, and the lens is also very old.
Hu Ge's plasticity has become stronger again, not only can control "Flowers" in a high position, but also can perform "Stop-and-Go" ordinarily.
Gao Yuanyuan is very beautiful, and the character is very complete.
But what impressed me the most in the whole movie was Ms. Jiang Meiling's actor Yue Hong, who was real and delicate.
Zhou Yemang's last scene poked me very much, and hit the softest place in my heart.
After watching "Stop-and-Go", I was so uncomfortable that I almost blocked all my emotions in my chest, and I couldn't even cry.
Because it's not just a movie.
Is the movie any good?
Good shot.
But a good movie is never easy to make.
