How do you evaluate the movie "Siberian Tiger" starring Zhang Yu and Ma Li?

First of all, why did I watch the whole movie with a frown: As a typical Northeasterner, I watched this black humor movie with the mentality of laughing. As a migrant worker and a serious movie fan who has been drifting in Beijing for ten years, I have become accustomed to the fast pace of Beijing and the dazzling and visually stunning screen works. However, this movie is not at all what I expected it to be - slow-paced, calm, cold, depressing, low-pitched... It is not even what the Northeastern people understand it to be - lively, flamboyant, noisy, direct, high-profile, passionate... I didn't even understand it when I first started, so where is the "point" of this movie? At what second will these suppressed and restrained emotions and lines explode? However, until I watched it all, the movie didn't release like a mountain. But on the way home after the movie, I had so many thoughts in my mind. This is really a very deep, advanced, and worth recalling movie.

First, let’s talk about all the characters and the image of “Siberian Tiger” that appear in the movie. When an audience member communicated with the director after the screening, he said that he believed that several characters in it had encountered financial, emotional, ideological and other problems respectively. After hearing this, I felt enlightened and it also gave me new thinking:

1. Xu Dong: My summary of his character should be that he is self-righteous - he thinks he can solve economic problems and does not hesitate to drive a forklift part-time outside school to make money; he thinks he can balance the relationship with two women Relationship, she loves her daughter-in-law, buys her favorite durians, dotes on her mistress, kowtows on her head to follow her petty temperament, helps her mistress deal with people who harass her, is afraid of being seen on the road and makes her let go but pulls her away He followed her on a trail; he thought he could "revenge" his beloved dog, but he eventually became friends with the dog killer and reconciled with his obsession with dogs. He is just an ordinary person, but he tries to solve all the above problems by himself (of course these are his problems that must be solved by him), which has to be called self-righteousness. He is like a Siberian tiger. He feels like the most ferocious animal, but in fact he is not. He is controlled and restrained by humans and reality.

2. Meiling: Regarding her character, I always had some wrong feelings about her character created by Ma Li and her previous works. Until I listened carefully to the ending song (the lyrics were also written by director Geng Jun), I understood Meiling - she was about to give birth, and her husband loved her, but she couldn't tolerate emotional flaws, so she went to "solve the case" and find the "suspect". She turned to rich friends for help, but in the end she comforted her. When the other party said, "We all have to be strong," she forced her husband to find the yellow-haired woman... She was a powerful and fierce Siberian tiger, but as the lyrics said: "A woman marries a man, I became his servant (I didn’t remember the first half of the lyrics clearly, but that’s probably what it meant).” The relationship between her and Xu Dong as husband and wife must be okay when a little life is about to come. She became a repressed, forbearing, and helpless Siberian tiger.

3. Ma Qianli: This is the clearest character in the whole movie, and he is also the soul of black humor - he interprets the aggrieved, helpless, pitiful, sad, ridiculous, hateful, and he is also beautiful. However, like the once majestic Siberian tiger, but now his problems cannot be solved, the construction company does not pay, and the debt collectors keep harassing him. He has become destitute and has nowhere to go. Just like the imprisoned Siberian tiger, his resistance is ineffective. Unable to resist.

Let’s put aside the specific characters and look at the big picture. The Siberian tiger is already 19 years old and has reached the stage of middle-aged and old age. It roars in the mountains and communicates with its companions. It is very majestic, but now it does not roar. The psychiatrist/poet observes it with a telescope, but its biggest work is a pile of excrement... Combined with what I said at the beginning, the Northeast depicted in this movie does not conform to my understanding. The director is Are you not saying: Look at the Northeast, the excitement is all an illusion. The Northeast has entered middle age and is no longer as majestic as it used to be. It even has no companions and no outstanding contributions. I think that the director chose Hegang, who had just announced a financial restructuring and bought a house for 50,000 yuan, to create this film, and there should be something he wanted to convey.

Actually, as a Northeasterner, I feel regretful, regretful, and sentimental, just like a child asking his grandfather why the Siberian tiger stopped roaring. While watching the movie, I was thinking about various plot points: Why isn't she angry? Why didn't he hit him? Why can they "quarrel" so calmly and so slowly? The suppressed emotion of "if you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence", I finally felt relieved after I understood what this movie wanted to record and convey.
