What is the practical significance of Han Han's "Flying Life"?

As Han Han's third film "Flying Life" was released during the Lunar New Year in 2019, it aroused continued attention and heated discussion from the audience. This is undoubtedly a film marked by Han Han. As a cultural symbol representing the post-80s generation, Han Han has always exported his thoughts through movies.

Compared with the bookish "Unexpected" and the emotional "Riding the Wind and Waves", in "Flying Life", Han Han returns to his main business - rally racing. In the film, Han Han takes rallying as the theme of the film, telling the story of Zhang Chi, a racing driver played by Shen Teng, who returns to the world after a long five-year ban, but encounters a series of unimaginable difficulties. In the end, with his perseverance, courage and With superb driving skills, he completed the last and most glorious rally victory in his life.

At the end of the film, the audience clearly saw Zhang Chi, the male protagonist played by Shen Teng, driving a speeding car off the track, flying over the cliff, and falling into the sea, but in this film At the end of the movie, we saw Zhang Chi and his son Zhang Fei in a racing car, engaging in a "peak showdown" between a racing car and a jet fighter.

In fact, the hero Zhang Chi did fly off the track and his car crashed, killing everyone, which is the real ending of the film; and the "race" between Zhang Chi and his son in a car and an airplane was actually Zhang Chi's son's death. The dream is intended to echo the competition agreement between Zhang Chi and his son in the film.

The reason why Han Han arranged such a romantic yet sad "double ending" is, firstly, to set off Zhang Chi's courage to devote himself to his beloved racing career; secondly, to round out the relationship between Zhang Chi and his son. The agreement also corresponds to the title of "Flying Life"; third, it once again strengthens the theme, heightens feelings, and gives the audience more beautiful reveries.

In "Flying Life", the audience experienced the relaxation of falling from the peak of life to the trough, and how to overcome the difficulties of no recruitment, no car, no one, and no money step by step, and finally participated as they wished. He participated in the Bayinbulak Rally, which was full of danger and uncertainty, and won the most perfect championship in his life.

However, in order to recover the disadvantage due to the performance of the car, Zhang Chi almost squeezed the mechanical performance of the car to the limit. At the end, the brakes of the car failed and the engine was on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, at the moment when he accelerated and crossed the finish line, Zhang Chi already knew that it was impossible for him to turn back around the corner after the finish line, but with his perseverance and skills, he got this "death track" "A well-deserved champion, he tried his best and died without regrets.

This is the ultimate sense of honor for a racing driver. In the midst of death, he finds the most suitable limit for people and cars.

During the Battle of Bayinbuluk in "Flying Life", the film seems to have changed its shooting method, using passionate images and touching slow motion to complement each other, and the explosive visual language makes people who have long been smoothed by life Ordinary viewers who have lost their sharpness are brought into a dreamlike and tense mood. Immersed in Zhang Chi's touching feeling of "dying for his dream", the audience sincerely fell into the passionate feelings of the past, willing and unable to extricate themselves.

At the end of the film, the showdown between a racing car and an airplane is not so much a "light joke" as a "heavy dream."

Although the true father-son relationship between Zhang Chi and his son Zhang Fei is not much mentioned, it is particularly touching. If Xiao Feichi gets the bad news and realizes that his father Zhang Chi will "never come back", the racing agreement between father and son will also disappear.

However, Han Han arranged the father and son who were supposed to be separated by yin and yang in the same racing car, and also designed a plot in which the racing car and the plane competed in speed. In fact, it was also a kind of "laughing with tears".

The warm and romantic father and son racing in the same car once again ignited the tears and laughter of all the audience. For everyone, this is the "best ending".
