Listen to the snow and talk about the shadow
Because I didn't catch up with the premiere, on the first day of the release of "Retrograde Life", I couldn't wait to come to the theater, and during the two-hour viewing time, tears flowed countless times.
Gao Zhilei, who ran into walls everywhere after being unemployed, was hit by a car and still insisted on working, and was knocked to the ground by Da Hei because he ran too fast.
The young faces in the streets and alleys, the figures who do not stop for a moment to survive, the sick children, the old people who want to end their lives, are tense and depressed.
But when you see the tired face, in the end, when you bloom a beautiful smile, your heart is inspired and excited, who is easy? It's not easy for anyone!
Gao Zhilei worked diligently for the company, working for 11 years without night and no night, but it can be said that he was fired, there was no reason, or even no excuse, a fluttering sentence of "you were laid off" made a middle-aged man who worked overtime to take insulin every day "get out" out of the door.
The lawsuit of 700,000 yuan can't be dragged on, because, the mortgage has to be repaid, the children have to be educated, the old father fainted to the ground again, and the discount was half 700,000, which soon became 300,000, and the 40 and 11 became the biggest joke.
After losing his job, he didn't dare to tell his relatives, Gao Zhilei thought that this was just a short transition, after all, the top students of famous universities have rich experience, and they think that it should not be difficult to find a job.
But a whole month has passed, and there has been no news of nearly 1,000 resumes, and the only interview is that personnel regarded 78 years as 98 years.
In front of the mocking interviewer, Gao Zhilei was ridiculed and thrown out before he could say a word, and he couldn't hide it anymore, the old father knew his son best, and he was the first to know the truth.
In the face of the old man's expectations, Gao Zhilei could only promise and comfort him with a weak heart, but the assurance did not reassure the old father, but added to his heart disease.
In order to save 20 yuan for his son, the old man forcibly moved the goods by himself despite his old age, but he was so tired that he fainted, and an ICU cost 300,000 yuan, and in the end, Gao Zhilei could only compromise with the company.
It was hard to scrape together enough medical expenses, but the follow-up rehabilitation still has to be carried out, and the mortgage has been owed for a long time, and if they don't pay it back, they may end up on the streets.
The cruel reality made Gao Zhilei unable to support it anymore, and he could no longer disguise it, and in the face of his wife and the old man, he broke the defense for the first time.
The wife is a kind and virtuous woman, and in the face of unprecedented pressure, she does not stay out of the situation and puts all the pressure on her husband's shoulders.
While complaining about her husband's concealment, she planned their future, in order to keep the last bottom line of the house, Gao Zhilei decided to let go, as long as he could make money, he would do anything.
By chance, Gao Zhilei met Yang Dashan, a delivery man, 25-year-old Yang Dashan was both enthusiastic and bold, seeing Gao Zhilei's down-and-out appearance, he kindly let Gao Zhilei join his team.
When he heard that Yang Dashan could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, Gao Zhilei was moved, and now he urgently needs 15,000 to relieve the pressure of repayment.
Just do it, but when Gao Zhilei came to the takeaway site, the stationmaster refused him, not because he was incapable, but because the stationmaster looked at him like an urban elite and felt that he would not be able to persevere.
Fortunately, Yang Dashan, who came later, allowed Gao Zhilei to successfully join the company, in fact, Stationmaster Zhu's worries are not superfluous, Gao Zhilei, who has just entered the industry, is indeed not suitable for running a takeaway job.
Unfamiliar with the road, bad temper, not knowing how to take food, and not accepting criticism, in short, in a month, he received 11 bad reviews.
Seeing the salary of more than 4,000 in his hand, Gao Zhilei felt desperate for the first time, he picked up his mobile phone and typed a few big words "LZ is no longer dry".
But then his father's suicide made him dare not say the word "no" anymore, and when he saw the old father who wanted to end his life, the crying daughter, and the haggard wife, Gao Zhilei decided to fight against the water, and he couldn't give up and fall no matter what.
After that, he seemed to be a different person, he humbly asked his colleagues for advice, and carefully measured every inch of land in the business area with his legs.
Finally, the hard work paid off, Gao Zhilei's performance rose from the last place in the ranking to the top few, and Gao Zhilei, who is constantly striving for self-improvement, let me see countless middle-aged people who are moving forward bravely.
Although their bodies are no longer young, and in life, they have suffered one kind or another injustice, but in the face of the future, they are still forging ahead, just to be respected and have a better life.
In Gao Zhilei's peers, there are many people who are already living in poverty, their lives have never been glamorous, they have low education, no family, in this strange city, they have no other way but hard work.
Lao Li is 35 years old, his life is incredible, his clothes are torn and the tape is wrapped, and his legs are injured by the tape, he is never willing to drink a bottle of water that costs money, and the tap water on the street is his daily routine.
The collision was compensated 15,000 yuan, and the old man was happy for a long time, it turned out that his thrifty everything was for the children, the daughter of leukemia, and hollowed out everything for them.
They couldn't afford to rent a house, so the family of four could only huddle into a dilapidated old house waiting to be demolished.
But Lao Qian was so optimistic, in order to express his gratitude, he picked a small yellow flower from the ruins and happily put it in Gao Zhilei's hands.
Compared with Lao Li, Da Hei's life is not easy, in order to help his disabled little brother, he runs day and night, and his hunger and fullness every day make him fall into serious stomach problems.
Because he has to earn a lot of money to pay off his debts, Da Hei always has to run faster than others, which arouses the jealousy and anger of his peers, who not only speak disrespectfully to Da Hei, but also knock him to the ground.
Lao Li, Da Hei, and the female delivery man who delivered the order with his daughter, they are all so simple and kind, in the face of the suffering on their bodies, they did not give up on themselves, nor were they cynical, on the contrary, they were smiling every day, and on their faces, they were full of longing and hope for life.
"Retrograde Life" uses surreal techniques to truly restore the helplessness and struggle of middle-aged people represented by Gao Zhilei in the face of unemployment and family pressure.
This kind of real and close to life theme makes the audience have a strong resonance in the process of watching the movie, and the narrative style of laughter and tears is touching and humorous.
The whole viewing process is the interweaving of laughter and tears, and the film not only shows suffering and hardship, but also interprets the tenacity and optimism of ordinary people in the face of difficulties.
The vivid group portraits of the characters are not only three-dimensional but also full, of course, the most attractive thing about the film is the inspirational theme, which conveys a positive attitude to life to the audience through Gao Zhilei's story.
Everyone's life is not smooth sailing, everyone will encounter one kind or another ditch and bump, in the face of difficulties, we can't give up on ourselves and be a deserter.
Because our families need us, and society also needs positive energy, avoiding them will not solve any problems, it will only make the situation more difficult.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone, face everything optimistically, believe that you have the courage to challenge yourself, and there must be a way out for yourself ahead.
Thanks to the actors with superb acting skills in the film, it is they who have dedicated such a good film to us with their excellent acting skills, among the many actors, I really can't pick out an actor with bad acting skills, and in the end, I can only say that all the actors are great.
Of course, if you have to give these excellent actors a comprehensive ranking, the following is a shallow ranking made by individuals, please forgive me for the inappropriateness!
First place, Wang Xiao
In the film, the old man played by Wang Xiao really made me cry several times, the vicissitudes of life were full of sourness, and the difficult situation made people cry several times.
For that small home, he gave everything he had, and in order to save more money, he saved money to the extreme, and the scene of being knocked under the car was really heart-wrenching.
In the end, when I saw him covered in injuries and limping home, I couldn't hold back my tears, in the life of Lao Li, in addition to suffering or suffering.
But he still smiles every day, just because he has a good hope in his heart, fortunately, his efforts have paid off, his daughter's illness has been cured, and this time, he can finally laugh.
I believe that a person who loves life so much and works so hard and enterprising, his life will not be bad, in the film, Wang Xiao's acting skills are both skillful and natural.
In the whole process of watching the movie, there is no trace of deliberate performance at all, and the acting skills are completely to the point of swaying freely.
As the second generation of stars, Wang Xiao has not only refreshed his cognition again and again with his excellent acting skills, but also gone further and further on the road to the peak.
"Hurricane", "County Party Committee Compound", and "White Deer Plain" have too many classics, which make people look sideways, I believe that he is getting better and better, and the future must be limitless.
second place, Xu Zheng
Xu Zheng is a well-known actor, director, screenwriter, producer, and voice actor in Chinese mainland, and has won awards such as Best Actor at the 55th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
Xu Zheng, who graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, won the Best Actor Award at the 10th Magnolia Drama Awards in 1998, and then he became popular for his participation in "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie".
Since then, Xu Zheng's self-written, self-directed, and self-starred comedy movie "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" was released for 5 days, and the box office exceeded 300 million.
A month after its release, the box office of "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" reached 1.2 billion, and in the end, the box office of the film ended with 1.269 billion.
The versatile Xu Zheng is not only a powerful actor, but also an excellent director and screenwriter, "No Man's Land" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, "Hypnosis Master" broke 100 million at the box office within four days of release, and the box office of the movie "Heart Flower Road" starring Huang Bo exceeded 1.1 billion.
"Hong Kong Embarrassment", "Players Behind the Scenes", "I Am Not the God of Medicine" There are too many classics to forget, and this time "Retrograde Life" has not yet been released, it has attracted huge attention, and there is no way that strength represents everything.
In this touching film, Xu Zheng plays the middle-aged and down-and-out Gao Zhilei, as a middle-aged unemployed man, when facing layers of pressure, the feelings of helplessness, confusion and hesitation are vividly expressed by Xu Zheng.
The huge gap made him almost choose to give up, and in the end, it was his enthusiastic colleagues and his responsibility to his family that made him reinvigorate, and finally, in the face of adversity, he found the direction of his life.
Xu Zheng in the film, his acting skills are as superb as ever, and his relaxed performance is very infectious.
Finally, thank him for putting ordinary people at the forefront in a unique way, and at the same time, thank him for making all his efforts visible.
third place, Ding Yongdai
In "Retrograde Life", the old drama bone Ding Yongdai plays Gao Zhilei's old father, changing the majestic and deep image of the past, and Gao's father in the film is both kind and warm.
In the most difficult moment for his son Gao Zhilei, it was he who cheered for his son, although he was old, but as a father, he was still the most solid backing for his son.
In order not to burden his son, he actually thought of leaving, and his emotional masterpiece made people cry, the old drama bones are the old drama bones, and the performance without traces is too moving.
And this time, Ding Yongdai also has a major breakthrough in accent, he has changed his more representative pronunciation in the past, and his new image is almost unrecognizable.
The stroke father played by Ding Yongdai is not only in terms of language, but also in action, completely different from the real patient, and the realistic interpretation is really breathtaking.
Of course, there are many, many good actors in this drama, and their performances are also very good, Jia Bing, Xin Zhilei, Ding Jiali, Feng Bing, etc., I won't describe them one by one here, friends who like this kind of inspirational and realistic film, I believe this film will not disappoint you!
