The film is so bland, like a calm lake.
It tells the story of an ordinary family who moved from Inner Mongolia to Fujian for 30 years and later returned to his hometown to visit his dying old friends.
It has terrifying waves, like the sea, and it has a temper tantrum at some point.
It turned out that it was an undercurrent surging underground.
The story takes place in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, where Liu Yaojun and Shen Yingming are good friends living in a family building, the two families often play cards together, and the children are also good friends who play together.
Many years later, at home in the seaside town of Lianjiang, Fujian Province, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Baotou, Liu Yaojun and his wife would not have imagined that they would lose their only child in Baotou.
Later, they went further away for 30 years and wanted to reconcile with life.
What really happened 30 years ago?
30 years away from sadness, more than 2,000 kilometers away from the geographical space has allowed them to achieve inner peace?
Some people say it's not a movie, it's life. This is the Berlin Film Festival's film "Long Time".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >1 Was an accident</h1>
The Children of the Liu Family and the Children of the Shen Family have played together since childhood, and the two families also have a good relationship, often gathering activities, and another neighbor.
The happy days did not seem to last long, and one thing destroyed the peace of the two families.
The Liu family's children died unexpectedly during an outing, and the Shen family children next to them were too frightened to speak.
From his conversation with his parents, it can be found that there is a hidden feeling, although the Liu family is extremely distressed, but they are reluctant to confront a child. In the end, he left his former home in pain.
They lost their only child.
The 2,500-kilometer-away Town of Jianghai in Fujian Province can continue to carry their mood.
That's 30 years.
For 30 years, they have been far away from the factories they are so familiar, from their once-amiable friends who can only escape, and when they look at them, they think of their son's house.
They tried to forget, adopted a child with the same name as their son.
However, the child did not listen to them and often ran away from home.
While they were living in a chicken feather, a phone call from afar brought them back to the once familiar city.
It was as if they had been wandering by the sea for thirty years, and their hearts felt called.
It was a phone call from shen's mother, who wanted to see them before she died.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2 You don't mention it, I don't mention it, the pain will get worse</h1>
When you are young, the world seems to be only black and white, and when it is time to be like old wine, you know that life is not only a taste.
The summons of the Shen family's mother made Liu Yaojun and his wife hear the confession from the Son of the Shen Family.
He didn't harm his best friend, but he was scared to see the child being pushed by himself to swim.
"You don't mention it, they don't mention it, they say they want to protect me young, but it grows in my body like a tree, and I can't stand it."
Having grown into an excellent doctor, the Son of the Shen family may want to make up for his childhood regrets.
Some people say, you simply don't say it, isn't this for your own good feelings and unveil the scars of other people's parents?
Yeah, are you going to be sad again?
Fortunately, the Liu family already knew the truth, but they didn't want to mention it.
However, Chinese, who believe that time will change everything, always think that the pain will pass and not affect the living.
Can this really be reconciled with life?
Look, the son of the Liu family has been carrying guilt for 30 years, but fortunately he has no mental collapse or embarked on a bad path.
The Shen family seems to have put it down, but it always touches the inner pain in the details of life. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as difficult to get along with your adopted son. Even the Shen family's father had cheated on him.
With a long 30 years of time and the distance from space, have everyone really put down right and wrong?
There was another person who did not let go, that is, the Shen family's mother who had to see the Liu family again on her deathbed.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3 "We have money and can have children"</h1>
The Shen family's mother said this sentence on her deathbed, which sounded a little inexplicable.
Only when I think about it again will I find the deep meaning, a pain that stirs the soul.
She didn't just feel guilty that her son didn't save the Liu family's children.
As a family planning cadre, he forced his good friend to kill the second child, so that they would never have their own children in the future and deeply regretted it.
Although the former good friend did not completely turn his eyes on him, he was far away from home and no longer contacted.
Although her own family has a good career and her son has a decent job, there is always a thorn in her heart that has not been pulled out.
The words she said were repenting of herself, "We have money, we can have children."
At this time, I suddenly found that it was difficult to distinguish one thing from another by just right and wrong.
Behind an accident, 30 years of life and spirit away.
There is also the impact on the lives of ordinary people in the context of the era that cannot escape, family planning, laid-offs and so on.
With the departure of the Shen family's mother, the Liu family and his wife seem to have truly reconciled from their hearts.
Write on the back
Try to interpret a movie from a geographical perspective.
Watching "Long Days on Earth", you can feel that the space is far and close, and the time is very long and short.
Obviously, there was a sound of laughter, friends gathered, and suddenly there was great sorrow.
The pain of losing a son, far away from the homeland, laid off and unemployed, a series of blows gradually calmed down with time.
That lively place was in the factory dormitory in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, where we thought we would stay together for almost a lifetime.
Who would have thought that in a few years everyone would be separated.
Some people have been locked up, some have lost their sons, some have been laid off, and their lives have changed. It was as if there was a barred window that could not see the road ahead.
As soon as the camera turns, the Liu family's simple home has a simple meal, and the couple is teaching their adopted son disobedience, and they have long since lost the joy and laughter they once had. The room was also cold.
Yes, this is a Fujian seaside town more than 2,000 kilometers away from the homeland, and they don't seem to have really calmed down yet.
Wang Xiaoshuai, the director of "Long Days on Earth", said that the choice of these two places is to show the sense of wandering after being far away.
Back in the homeland, receiving the confession of his friend, and receiving a call from his adopted son, the good days of the Liu family seem to be coming.
They are at least giving their mental space a geospatial return ritual.
What can be done without reconciliation, but the Chinese who are inseparable from the homeland always have to be far away and return to be truly reconciled from the heart.
Some people say that this seems to be the scar literature of this era, that is, after experiencing the pain of the times, using words to expose and release the pain in the heart.
After the pain, there is no numbness or singing, but a peaceful and calm life, which is worthy of respect for ordinary people for a long time.
