Drama review of The Impression of Love

"Impression of Love" is derived from Shi Tiesheng's novel "Retreat Notes", written by Li Jianming. "Retreat Notes" is another miracle. I once wrote a review and marveled at the author Shi Tiesheng. In such a weak state, the passion in the novel is full from beginning to end. Another feature of this long article is that it cannot be said to be obscure, but it is not easy to read, as the title clearly indicates - retreat. Screenwriter Li Jianming's understanding of this novel and his deep love for it, and the script he presented can be said to be the second conveyance of the essence of this novel. On the basis of being faithful to the original work, she integrated the connections between the core stories and strengthened the charm of the novel with the bones and order of drama. The final stage presentation, first of all, successfully created an illusory atmosphere, just like the retreat of the novel.

In "The Impression of Love", the screenwriter and director slightly changed the task of the drama. It did not focus on promoting the plot, but instead focused on discussion. About love, about truth, about betrayal, etc., the discussion quickly breaks away from the appearance and approaches the essence, seeking to find out the truth, which is consistent with the novel. This kind of "ultimate" has nothing to do with moral judgment, right and wrong, the contradictions in Chinese-style divorce, the difficulties of living in a small house, has nothing to do with GDP, has nothing to do with Weibo, and does not seem to have a necessary direct connection with the mainstream of current society, but They are problems that have always been with us as we progress, even when we want to get rid of them.

In the novel "Retreat Notes", this kind of speculation is serious, and what is even more unique is the logical charm that the author re-weaves through his imagination.

The entire dialogue between the male and female protagonists in "Impression of Love" discusses these topics, even if there is no conclusion, it gradually creates a temporary small space isolated from the world. Following the actors, the audience entered into the attraction composed of the content of the lines. No matter young or old, they can find their own point of view from this relatively extensive discussion, connect with their own life experience, and start thinking along with the lines. For two hours, the audience sat down, and gradually left the heaviness of the moment, the hopelessness in the heaviness, or the doubt in hope, hiding in this small space, and forgetting themselves for a moment... Let their thoughts and souls be absorbed by these ethereal words. , the beautiful words float slightly upward, towering over the dust of the world... It should be admitted that this play is not in line with the public's appetite, but there are many more audiences who are immersed in this play than I imagined. This is a gratifying thing, and it shows that the tide of popular and vulgar literature and art cannot sweep away all readers and viewers.

The rest of the small crowd should celebrate each other and have a drink.
