My aunt's postmodern life ... What are you talking about?

abstract ...

The twelve-year-old boy is very generous. He used his vacation to visit Menstruation (Gaowa Siqin), who lives alone in an international metropolis after retirement. Through his wide eyes, menstruation shows meanness, backwardness, noise and absurdity. Mrs. Shui, the neighbor of menstruation, is also very strange. But after a series of experiences, they began to understand each other and miss each other.

One morning, Menstruation met a "Jianghu gangster"-Pan Zhichang (Chow Yun Fat) who came to Shanghai from Guangdong in the park. It is a mysterious man who is addicted to menstruation. They became bosom friends because of Peking Opera, and staged a hazy and touching evening romance with Menstruation, who is six years older than him. But it didn't last long. Pan Zhichang and her menstrual life savings finally disappeared together. At the same time, menstruation found that her nanny (Shi Ke ornaments) actually earned extra money by "touching porcelain". Through these successive events, my menstruation became disillusioned, and I decided to leave Shanghai, return to my hometown in other provinces that I left 20 years ago, and return to my estranged husband and daughter (Zhao Wei).

A year later, Kuankuan came to visit her in her new home, only to find that everything in menstruation had changed. Looking back at Shanghai is like a mirage and a dream. ...

Film review:

I always deliberately avoid watching movies that restore hooligans and civilians, because life there is too difficult and realistic.

This kind of film is very different from the tragic and romantic heroic blockbuster. The joys and sorrows of "Where are you going" in the blockbuster are too far away from us. This kind of plot, which often makes us feel sad and full of twists and turns, will probably make the audience cry with the help of Kemp's language, Kemp's behavior and Kemp's shooting technique. What we love is this kind of shock with a sense of distance, that kind of unforgettable.

And movies that describe ordinary people's lives often have too real life scenes and deja vu dialogues ... the environment within reach of each of us is everywhere in such movies. The audience often spontaneously produces a sense of substitution. Under the mapping of such movies, they will see a true self in a sour and plain life. If they watch too much, they will be as disheartened as little Natalie Portman in Black Leon and ask: Is life always so hard?

And "My Aunt's Postmodern Life" is such a movie. Xiao Xi's little sadness filled two hours, but it also made me sigh the sadness and helplessness of the bottom characters!

In this film, I was born and raised in Shanghai and went to college during my menstrual period. I speak authentic and elegant British English pronunciation, am obsessed with Beijing Opera and Chinese painting, and pursue a refined life with inner feelings. However, during the Cultural Revolution, she entrusted herself to a vulgar and rude old worker in Anshan, Northeast China. Unwilling to be disillusioned, she abandoned her husband and daughter and returned to Shanghai. But even in Shanghai, neighbors are nothing more than comparison and jealousy. I bargained with the younger generation for several utilities. Being stolen by others is the first thing to reveal the secret joy of broken glass ... Gaowa Siqin's interpretation of this role is absolutely wonderful. She sketched out the ambivalence of a little person who just lived in a bustling city. Menstrual arrogance, jealousy, hypocrisy and selfishness. At the same time, she is kind, tolerant, rich in heart and more compassionate. Her words and deeds, which are incompatible with the current society, make people love and hate each other's duplicity, which makes the menstrual experience in Shanghai seem absurd and strange, but in fact it is cold and sharp. Her opponents, from Lisa Lu to SmithKline, and then from Chow Yun Fat to Zhao Wei, are all important passers-by in menstrual life. After you sing, I will appear, step by step, directly or indirectly, pushing menstruation to the Jedi ... and menstruation. These plots also appropriately reflect the dark side and bleak reality of social reality.

However, in life, menstruation is not the only person who can't help himself in the rivers and lakes.

The grey hairtail played by Yan Lu, an old opera bone, looks pretentious on the surface, but in fact he is also an old man forgotten in the corner of the city. It is inevitable that he is lonely and fragile and can't stand a little twists and turns. The only thing they need is two words-companionship. Once this spiritual pillar is destroyed, he will have nothing.

Jin Yonghua, an immigrant female liar played by Shi Ke, is equally wonderful. Some people say that she is self-indulgent, others say that life has forced her to become a liar, which is not worthy of sympathy, but in any case, she has a heartbreaking secret. Everyone wants to make money by obeying the law, and everyone once made money by obeying the law. However, due to the pressure of life, the injustice from the big environment, and the deliberate neglect of vulnerable groups, Jin Yonghua, a vagrant who chose the "shortcut to get rich quickly", is by no means one of the few people we can ignore. Although Jin Yonghua's final choice and result for his daughter seem cruel and decisive, it is actually the last helpless choice of the disadvantaged migrant workers without roots and foundations. If there is still a glimmer of hope of survival, who will kill his daughter with his own hands?

Liu Dafan, a guest star in Zhao Wei, represents the life in Anshan once abandoned by menstruation. Her rudeness and indifference when she first appeared were disgusting, but then her quarrel with menstruation brought the audience back to the social cause and effect of "environment makes behavior", and her hatred for her daughter Liu Dafan suddenly softened without a trace. Then there is the scene where Zhao Wei works as a chef in Anshan Hotel. She squats at the door and smokes silently. Her posture is always so vulgar. During this time, Zhao Wei didn't say a word, but it was through the flow of her fingertips and eyes that all the humiliation, fatigue, longing, sadness and vicissitudes, anger and unwillingness were brought into full play ... had already flowed out of the screen, sneaked into the ground and penetrated into the hearts of every audience.

Even the new and new people dressed strangely in movies are no exception. Her striking hairstyle and seemingly depraved behavior also hide a sad past. They cover up and protect themselves with prickly coats, but in the end they will remember the warmth when they are comforted by others alone.

The film is full of the sadness of the lower class, as if Chow Yun Fat was the only exception. He always interprets the image of another liar with a winning attitude. The love between him and Gaowa Siqin is full of wonderful chemical reactions, especially after the affair, he made a sad expression, which is absolutely shocking.

All the audience, including me, can see that Chow Yun Fat has been lying to Gaowa Siqin, but Menstrual asked himself: Tell me the truth, even if you lied to me, I won't blame you. Presumably, Chow Yun Fat was also amazed by the infatuation of menstruation at that time, so it was also a silent confession and compensation to spend the night with menstruation.

When he turned to leave in the morning, he passed with a wave of his arm. Under the windbreaker cornice shawl, he is firm and full of domineering and arrogant steps, and his back is still chic and lonely. This shot is really meaningful. We saw young Mark and perfect Xu Wenqiang again. Is it a tribute or a mockery that a swindler working in the market should be so emotional?

At this point, I would rather convince myself that Chow Yun Fat is innocent, because this movie needs a sincere ending. The two became attached to Peking Opera in the park; He and menstruation sat in the cramped, narrow and dirty stairwell, digging and eating watermelon with their hands; He said to her, "There are only two lines of tears in my life, half floating and half beautiful"; Even he looked at the ugly menstruation in the swimming pool and tried to pretend that he didn't know him ... Isn't it romantic?

Even when Chow Yun Fat took out his collection of menstrual clothes, two Beijing opera fans, a concubine with stubble on her face, and a wretched imperial concubine with a big waist and a big belly like a pregnant woman were so intoxicated in their prosperous times. When they sang from indoors to the balcony on the second floor, the comedy effect of the spoof gradually drifted away, and the rest only surprised me. I really hope that the relationship between these two people can stay at this moment forever. But fate played jokes on her again and again. He's not Xu Wenqiang.

In the last shot, the voice of "Sorin Niang" came from the semiconductor behind the menstrual training room, which gradually became clear in the noise, but at this moment you can't see that Beijing Opera can touch her heartstrings again. Having just finished eating pickled silk steamed bread in Amb Lee, her publicity in Shanghai gradually became depressed, and she completely returned to low-key and loneliness in Anshan. The life that belongs to menstruation comes to an abrupt end, which makes me feel a sigh.

You always laugh when you watch it, but you always cry at the end of the movie. Life is so "postmodern"!
