Douban score 8.0, life is not only in front of you, but also in the distance-peacock.

If you have a chance to let the peacock open the beautiful peacock screen in front of you, please don't mistake the peacock for asking to mate with you. That's just your luck and the luck of the people who accompany you to see the peacock.

But there are always some unlucky people in the world. They always want to see pride like a peacock, but after doing their best, they find that the peacock doesn't even have a hint of opening the screen.

In the late 1970s, there was a family of five in Anyang, the ancient city of Henan. Both parents are factory workers. Eldest brother Gao Weiguo (played by Feng Ying) suffered from encephalopathy when he was young, and left some stupid problems after he was cured. The second sister Gao (played by Zhang Jingchu) does nothing at home all day and occasionally sits in the corridor to eat and play the accordion. Only the third brother Gao Weiqiang (played by Lv Yulai) is still in junior high school.

The story of the whole movie is recalled from the perspective of the third brother, interspersed with flashbacks and gags, which makes many people doubt the story of the movie when watching it.

The film is divided into three parts, namely, the second sister Gao, the eldest brother and the third brother Gao Weiqiang. Among them, Gao is not only the protagonist of the first story, but also the key figure connecting these three stories, which plays an important role in the development of the film plot.

If a person stays in a place for a long time, he will have the idea of escaping from this place, let alone a place that makes people feel depressed.

Gao said that she didn't want to brush the bottle any more, so her mother asked someone to find a relationship and let her go to the nursery to take care of the children. In the nursery, a child was injured because of her negligence.

In this way, Gao became an unemployed youth again.

By chance, when Gao was drying dried radish on his roof, he saw paratroopers parachuting in the sky. She rode her bike to the paratroopers' landing site, imagining that she had just fallen from the sky and holding a parachute to call her companion back.

There, she met the first person she liked.

High and low head, dare not look at the handsome face of this man. Only then did she know that she should join the army.

Being a soldier was a glorious event for the whole family at that time, but she couldn't be a soldier without some connections. Gao knew this well, so she played table tennis with the man and tried to bribe him by buying wine and cigarettes, but she didn't become a soldier in the end.

Being a paratrooper is the only way to follow her sweetheart's footsteps, and it is also her dream.

When Gao stood on the bridge and pushed the bottle down, the sound in the water was like the sound of broken dreams.

Gao went to brush the bottle again, and lived a walking life every day. Even so, she didn't let go of her dream.

She rode a bicycle in the street with a homemade parachute tied to her ass, which swayed with the wind. Only at this time did Gao feel the closest to her dream.

But before flying two or three miles, I met my mother. She caught up and grabbed the parachute, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time. Gao saw his mother and got up and left without looking back.

Skydiving was the spiritual sustenance of high school, and she could do anything for it. It was also because of the parachute that she met Guoguo.

Guo Guo is an electrician and a hooligan (by his own admission), but I don't think so. On the contrary, Gogo is a loyal and responsible man.

In order to get back the parachute fruit that originally belonged to him, Gao did not hesitate to sacrifice his body. The fierce fruit may be the first time to see such a woman. I was at a loss, but I didn't dare to look. Facing the glistening body, the fruit finally overcame my desire with reason.

The skydiving incident passed like this. Gao just went to work every day. One day, Gao heard the accordion on his way home, and followed the sound to find a lonely old man playing music there. This is an empty room. An old man sat there playing music and his expression was intoxicated. Gao's expression is also intoxicated.

The old man noticed Gao when she stood at the door listening to the song again. The old man invited Gao in to listen to music and wanted to teach her to play the accordion. I didn't expect Gao to play the accordion.

The old man wanted to show his Korean dance, so he let Gao play the piano and dance.

This shocking scene was seen by others without thinking.

In this way, Gao Wei Hong and Gao Weiqiang watched movies, ate glutinous rice balls and enjoyed the kindness of the old man to them. But it didn't last long. The old man couldn't resist the opinions of people around him and the pressure of his family, so he touched the switch and committed suicide.

At this time, Gao is still brushing bottles in the factory. The old man's family found her, beat her in front of the workers, and scolded the fox before leaving. This scene truly embodies the idea that China people have nothing to do with themselves. After a high beating, you can still work as if nothing had happened.

I tried again and again, but I was hit by reality every time.

Compromise with reality seems to be her only way to survive.

In this way, Gao married Xiao Wang, the driver who appeared in the play for less than half a minute.

Gao's story is over, so things are so flat and light.

In Gao's story, Big Brother only appeared a few times and didn't say a word, leaving an ignorant image for everyone. The second story of the film is about his brother Gao Weiguo, and some silly Gao Weiguo has always been the key protection object of his parents.

Gao Weiqiang works in a flour mill. Zhang is an old man in the factory. Seeing that he is stupid, he instructed him to carry flour, while he played cards with others, and gave him cigarettes instead of money.

Even so, just think that Zhang is his friend.

Candy was still a relatively rare item at that time. At the candy distribution meeting at home, each person gave out 107 candy and 2 1 candy, each parent gave his brother 10 candy, and each sister and brother gave his brother 5 candy.

When going out, Gao Weiguo opened his duck cage, peeled off two candies and threw them in. All this was seen by his brother. Maybe in my brother's eyes, ducks are more important than my brother and sister. In the eyes of parents, older brothers are more important than older brothers and sisters.

On his way home from work, Gao Weiguo happened to meet the crowd in the factory. He stood in the crowd, smiling.

Back home, Gao Weiguo said to his mother, people laugh at your incompetence, and you have grown up without a wife. This passage made me get rid of my understanding of Gao Weiguo's stupidity, which shows that when a person faces his own immediate interests, his intelligence and wisdom can be brought into full play, and even a stupid person will become smart.

Yang Meng is the woman who fell in love with Gao Weiguo at first sight, but she is also destined to be the woman he can't get. Gao Weiguo didn't even have a chance to be rejected.

In the eyes of his younger brother Gao Weiqiang, this stupid and epileptic brother is a fact that he has never wanted to face. When Gao Weiguo came to send an umbrella to Gao Weiqiang on rainy days, he played a joke in class. After delivering the umbrella, standing in the ladies' room and listening to others singing is regarded as a hooligan. Someone punched Gao Weiqiang and called your brother a hooligan. Gao struggled to rush into the crowd, picked up a pointed umbrella and plunged it down, shouting: He is not my brother!

Having such a brother seems to be the most shameful thing in Gao Weiqiang's heart. It seems to be a good idea to poison his brother unnoticed. So Gao Weiqiang bought poison. Just as he was about to poison his younger brother, Gao appeared and stopped all this, but all this was seen by his mother.

The next day, when the family was sitting in the corridor for dinner, mother took out the poison and found a duck to feed it. The director showed the duck's death process with a long lens here. The duck seemed to know its own destiny, shook its head and died without struggling.

The death of the duck temporarily calmed down the storm about brother and sister at home. Brother and sister invited their younger brother to eat steamed stuffed buns and gave him a duckling.

Gao Weiguo finally married a lame girl. They opened a stall selling casserole together, and the days are getting more and more prosperous. On this day, Zhang came to the stall and asked him if he could borrow some money to have the baby born. Gao Weiguo said, come tomorrow.

The next day, Zhang arrived as scheduled. Show Zhang a big box. Zhang opened the box and found it was full of cigarettes. Gao Weiguo said, I saved all the cigarettes I earned from you in those years. I don't want them. I'll pay you back.

Say that finish also hanhande laughed, zhang stay where you are, unconsciously bowed his head.

Teenagers always feel that there is a nameless fire burning inside them. Now this fire has a more scientific name-hormone.

The third brother, who is in adolescence, began to fantasize about the opposite sex and even drew a nude picture of a girl in his exercise book.

In the eyes of modern people, these are understandable. That's what teenagers do. As long as the guidance is proper, the child will not have any big problems.

However, Gao Weiqiang's father doesn't think so. When he found his son's exercise book mixed with nude photos, his first reaction was not to guide his son, but to drive him out of the house and announce to his neighbors that there were hooligans in his house.

Because of his father's extremely strong traditional ideas, Gao Weiqiang's studies ended here.

Gao Weiqiang fled the city alone and came back with a woman and a child.

At this time, Gao has also divorced Xiao Wang. One day, Gao and Gao Weiqiang were walking in the street. Gao saw the man. She walked slowly over and smiled and said to him, I just told my brother that you will love me forever. The man was puzzled after hearing this. What's your name?

Yes, someone you miss, but in the end he doesn't even know your last name.

Cry loudly, the one who has never cried before; Although there was no sound, I cried my eyes out.

Peacock appeared at the end of the film, higher than the first group now. After some teasing, Peacock didn't turn on the screen, and Gao Weiguo and Gao Weiqiang didn't see the triumphant appearance.

People watch each other all their lives, and everyone around them can see a person's prosperity and loneliness, success and failure. A person's story is as rich as a peacock's feather, and all kinds of love and hate are as colorful as the color of the feather.

Peacock seems to be the most ornamental animal in the zoo, and there are no fewer people than it.

As mentioned earlier, the film was recalled from the perspective of the third brother Gao Weiqiang. My brother and sister have a panoramic view of their lives, and their own lives are also under their own view.

Peacock is a very enjoyable movie. Although it didn't make great achievements at the box office, it was nominated for the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival.

A complete and wealthy family can't see a little laughter, and the depressed atmosphere makes the sky gloomy, just like this life can't see a little light.
