The film review "If I don't remember my voice"

I first saw the movie If I can't remember my voice, which was recommended in the online video push. The push keywords were words such as "depression" and "stress", so just watching the trailer kept my appetite. However, I have always been a person who didn't look at the shooting background and synopsis before going to the movies, so I bought a ticket with an uneasy heart of "empathy" and "self-healing". I even prepared a pack of paper towels for fear that I would cry for nothing ... < P > However, the biggest feeling after watching it is that China movies really need to go through time and weather to carve good works. Therefore, it is conceivable that this film with a score of 8 is undoubtedly a bad film, but I don't want to maliciously slander and vilify this film in the spirit of respecting the work and the director. In other words, seriously speaking, because I have so high expectations for this film, no matter how many times I want to go deep into this film, I will still be forced to play frequently by the meaningless emotional line and the overflowing sad atmosphere. Therefore, I'd like to make some humble comments on this movie that I was looking forward to but came back disappointed. As an ordinary person who studied literature for four years in a university, wrote a script and loved movies, I would like to make some humble comments:

1? Plot: As expected, the ending is bad, and the tactics are old-fashioned

Let's talk about the overall plot first. The Baidu entry is like this: Xin Tang, the hero with super ability to control sound, met Ji Xuan, a girl from the same school's folk song department, when he was sweeping his parents' graves. Ji Xuan's outrageous behavior in the cemetery made Xin Tang very disgusted, and Xin Tang's indifferent reaction also made Ji Xuan dislike it. By mistake, two people who don't like each other are accidentally bound together. In the process of being forced to get along, Xin Tang realized his feelings for Ji Xuan, and Ji Xuan slowly opened his heart. However, just as love is sweet, Jixuan's dark past is uncovered, and the secret of Xin Tang's super power is also discovered by Jixuan. This relationship is in crisis again, and the fate of two people is destined to be taken to an extraordinary distance.

The brief introduction of this movie when purchasing tickets is: Xin Tang has the ability to create happiness for others through sound, but after using it for the same person for three times, his life will be bound to this person, and only when the other person is happy can Xin Tang survive. By chance, Xin Tang saves Ji Xuan (played by Zhang Ruonan), a network celebrity of the same school who is preparing to commit suicide, and they are bound by this. Ji Xuan looks cheerful, but actually suffers from depression. At first, Xin Tang tried his best to make Ji Xuan happy in order to survive, and then he really devoted himself to affection. It's a pity that Xin Tang's secret will always be revealed, and Ji Xuan's dark past has also been revealed on the Internet ..............................................................................................................................................

To sum it up in one sentence, as an alien, the male host cured the female host suffering from severe depression with love and life.

However, the initial publicity stunt and main words of this film are "depression" and "cure", which seem to be in line with the current social hotspots. However, at the beginning of the film, it was a monologue of the man. The man explained that he was a man with super powers and needed to rely on human hunger and happiness to continue his life. His parents had already died when he was a child. Therefore, the man and the woman meet for the purpose of worshipping their parents, and then we can imagine the situation of the man in the movie, forced by life, and live broadcast as online celebrity but never happy. Later, because of the need of the plot, the man and the woman were bound by fate. In order to live to the day of liberation, the man needed to amuse the woman every day, and then they fell in love naturally.

I have to say that we love each other but can't be together, and we need to leave each other for the sake of each other's better, or even give up some precious things, such as life. This kind of plot was called "youth literature and art" ten years ago, but in this era, it is inevitably too "artificial". Because of today's times, it is really a bit "Mary Sue" to say that love heals the soul. However, this kind of film is still in line with the "little girl" and "literary" psychology of some viewers, and it is understandable to pay for Jing M.Guo's feelings.

However, it is obvious that the plot has already set up people with super powers and aliens for the characters, but they can only wait for death. In order to forget the male host, the film does not hesitate to exaggerate the electric shock therapy for severe depression. After receiving the treatment, the female host does not appear mental disorder and sluggishness, but only forgets the male host. Moreover, the binding setting of the male and female host cannot be because the female host forgets that he no longer exists, but can only wait for death. It can be said that there is no need for the man to die, and the ending is still unfinished. The sadness of the man and the woman is really embarrassing, but such an ending is somewhat unacceptable. It's not that this ending is not good, but it can be better.

Mr. Lu Xun once said, "Tragedy is to break beautiful things for people to see." The man's life could have been beautiful in the woman's life, but in the end, it needs to be destroyed unnecessarily in exchange for the tears and regrets of the audience. I have to say that it is a bit unfinished and full of question marks.

2? Logic: within reason, the details are rough, which can't be justified.

This film boasts its focus on depression, and also involves social problems such as domestic violence, cyber violence, single-parent orphans, etc. But the biggest problem is that it can't really enter this group. The film tells only a superficial science fiction love story, such as:

1) The emotional line is rough: men and women meet from master to slave, and then get to know each other. It only took more than 4 days. In real life, short and passionate love is very common, but love that is profound enough to cost one's life is still very valuable. Therefore, even to meet the needs of film plot development, such "fast food" love has a sense of being precious until death, which is undoubtedly a kind of "spiritual kidnapping" and "love brainwashing" for adolescent boys and girls. Moreover, the emotional line between the man and the woman changed suddenly. One was sad in the rain, and the other was warm in the rain. The two men's feelings warmed up to boiling, and then they listened to the folk songs and suddenly kissed ... This scene really caught me. I accept incompetence if I lose.

2) The plot is empty: the female host suffers from severe depression, but more men try their best to cure her. It seems that I am both looking forward to and afraid to see a series of dark experiences suffered by the female host, and all kinds of people and things that lead to her depression. However, the film only touches on the "domestic violence" and "cyber violence" that were originally painful, but it does not go deep, so that I was very worried at that time. However, the plot is strongly supported by the factors of love, which is somewhat melodramatic and superficial.

3) The details are rough: about severe depression, and the patients with depression are extremely unstable. When they get sick, they will be accompanied by a series of symptoms such as trembling, vomiting, tears, sluggishness, etc., and they will be seriously accompanied by self-harm and suicidal behavior. However, in addition to being "very sad", the heroine in the play can't let healthy audiences truly and intuitively feel the influence and shadow of depression on patients' daily life. With regard to love, the man's father gave up his life because of love, and the man himself went from ignorance to feeling the true meaning of love. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but in details, the man just approached the woman, sang a song for her, sheltered her from the rain, and gave her a sense of security and respect when she took a shower. However, it was not enough, Lao Tie. Such behavior, love rat in real life, can also be done, but it is not enough for her in real life. It is impossible for people to feel the profundity and indispensability of the spread of this feeling. The explanation about the man's three-time use of super power and the woman's binding is that when the man helped a little boy find his mother, his super power radiated to the woman! ! ! For the first time, I know that as long as the writer's brain hole is big enough and the director's tolerance is stronger, the super power can also have a radiation range and cannot be output directionally. For this explanation, my thought at that time was: "This is it?" I just want to say, I'm sorry to bother you, I don't accept it! About the man singing to the woman, if the man uses his super power to transmit his own voice to the woman ... Then the woman hears a man's voice singing folk songs in the air in the dark ... Won't it be haunted? Later, the man asked the woman, "How do you know it's me?" In order to get the point, the woman replied, "Because of your voice, I remember."

I admit, I should be touched here, but I may be old, and my heart is like a deer killed, and there is no movement. For a moment, I felt that after reading another college entrance examination composition, I found that one didn't have a central theme in the middle of writing, so I quickly ordered a question and got a basic score.

So how do you look at it? The logic of this movie is not strict enough, and the thinking is a little confused. I'll take it for the time being: I'm carried away by love.

3? Actor: acting skills are in place, overexert, lack of emotional thickness

It is said that the actors in this movie cried until they were dehydrated in order to capture the feelings of pain and despair, and they also went to know the depressed patients and consulted professional psychologists, so my expectations for this movie soared.

But after watching the movie, the actors are very good and dedicated actors, but perhaps the actors are too young, and the emotional thickness is really not enough. It is really a pear flower to cry, and it is really painful when you are sad, but it can't convey the emotional link of being there and feeling the same for the audience. It's like we are usually cut by a knife, and some people clamor that they are injured, which hurts, and so on, but some people just frown slightly and their eyes are red, but the latter makes it easier to convey pain and sympathy arises spontaneously.

4 lines: Exquisite, lacking the sense of life's fragmentation and real pain

This film continues the excellent lines and expressions of films such as A River of Sorrow directed by Jing M.Guo, but as mentioned earlier, whether it is a story or a movie, it still needs the real pain of life and the wind and rain of reality to be true. I quite like a passage in the movie-"My mood has been single for so long. But now I can clearly feel the painful happiness, desperate hope and reluctance. " But it is so beautiful that people can't see the unbearable burden and chicken feathers behind the protagonist.

5? What does this movie look like that I expected?

With so much written above, it really looks like an essay, but I want to reiterate that my expectations for this movie are really high. So when I saw it in the cinema, I realized that it was just a youth romance. I was disappointed and even a little sad. So, if this movie meets my expectations, what should it be like? I write some suggestions:

1) The foreshadowing and pain of depression should be more direct: for example, the hostess smiles brightly in front of her, but when she is alone, she will be inexplicably sad, and when she is sad, she will cry until she vomits, and she will do some extreme behaviors, such as pinching herself and biting her hand, etc., so that she can feel pain and faint after crying. During the day, people with depression are clowns wearing masks and carrying loads, while at night, they are ordinary people with scars and flesh.

2) Domestic violence and cyber violence can be properly exposed: for example, the stepfather of a woman can even beat her, and even wants to invade her, leaving a shadow on her. She can't sleep well, and often suffers from insomnia, nightmares and pain. Cyberstorm rises to reality, and the gentle and optimistic sunshine of the hostess is shredded bit by bit, because a stranger's eyes and actions will perceive joy or great sadness.

3) The healing power of love can be exaggerated, but it needs to show the warmth of this society, the sense of reliability brought by love, and the idea of making each other better, rather than simple sacrifice and unilateral pay. Therefore, the time span of love between men and women can be longer, such as half a year or a year; The female host was cured because of the company of the male host, the understanding of friends, and the real care of the society for patients with depression. In the end, the female host is optimistic about receiving treatment, and the society has also begun to publicize the slogan of caring for depression and create an atmosphere of being kind to every patient.

Write it at the end:

Write it here for the time being. I have a lot of feelings. The phrase "I wish I had known I had such great stamina, but I didn't break up" is a sigh of emotion from many people who are struggling to survive in their feelings. But when people with depression can't hold on, they will only say, "I wish I had known it was so hard, and I wasn't born." After reading The Life of Disliked Pine Nuts, I can probably understand a thing or two. The sentence "I was born as a human being, and I'm sorry" is really a helpless cry from a desperate person.

The lines and scenes in this movie are still very good and touching, but it is difficult to really feel the sense of helplessness and vulnerability if you have not really experienced the pain. I believe that what most people perceive and can empathize with is the sweetness of love and the pain of lovelorn. Love can cure illness, but it is not only love that cures illness, but rich and warm feelings and clear and firm self-redemption.

Finally, I want to say that China's films need profound, realistic, cruel and healing works. I hope that every outstanding director can produce better works, and I also wish the film industry of the motherland can flourish.
