Why is the donkey's water so good?

Poetry and books in literature/dreams

The tragic feeling with absurd comedy color brewed in laughing and cursing makes Donkey Water not only make people laugh, but also criticize the current disadvantages and torture the blind spot of human nature. Although there are too many traces of drama in the form, the film is generally a black comedy with a solid script, thought-provoking and earnest.

At the beginning of the film, the background is set in a school in a remote mountain village during the Republic of China. The headmaster conspired with three teachers to make up the teacher "Lv Deshui" with a donkey pulling water. In this way, I got an extra salary from the Education Bureau. However, I didn't expect the director of the Education Bureau to visit the school, so the absurd thing of pretending to be Mr. Lu with an illiterate coppersmith began, and the lies I continued to make up for the sake of making up lies became the driving force for the film to promote the plot and also laid the groundwork for its tragic ending.

With the continuous fermentation of this lie, this attack on intellectual subversion and educational corruption in a specific environment makes the story more humorous and profound through the unreliable alliance between teachers and coppersmith. However, seemingly hypocritical ignorance, in order to realize the so-called dream by hook or by crook, finally makes everyone's self-righteous expectations in the film be broken one by one, and humanity is completely lost in the face of greed, and its ugliness is fully displayed, thus constructing an excellent inner depth of the film.

When it comes to this work, Zhang Yiman, a female teacher played by Ren Suxi, is indispensable. She not only bears many "material" jokes in the film, but also successfully creates a most contradictory character image in the film. Behind Zhang Yiman's seemingly debauchery, there is a pure heart, but it is this innocence that makes her the saddest role in this tragedy whitewashed by comedy, which actually makes me feel that Zhang Yiman and.

Like a drama, it is not a defect of the film, just like an alternative work like Dogwell, which is amazing. The problem with "Water from the Donkey" is that it doesn't properly handle the process of adapting a drama into a movie. After the film lasted for more than half, it was obvious that the plot began a difficult jump, which led to a sudden change in characters, and human nature could not stand careful scrutiny. Finally, the points of the proposition became a little stiff.

In any case, the film may have some flaws, but it is still flawed. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Tragedy destroys valuable things in life, and comedy tears worthless things to people." ",and use the donkey to satirize today's" water supply for donkeys "is obviously to understand this.
