Seeking professional film reviews of The Three Gorges Good Man and Tuya's Marriage

A Good Man of the Three Gorges in the Eyes of Three Gorges People. I was born on the Yangtze River, and my grandmother's wooden house has become a memory at the bottom of the river forever with the Three Gorges Project. Being in a foreign country, seeing a movie about the Three Gorges has already made me lose my discernment. Mountains and rivers, grass and trees, are as familiar as bacon, a hometown specialty that my aunt just sent me, which makes me lose interest in all kinds of French hams.

So we can't think about this movie carefully until we are in a calm mood now.

Jia Zhangke is from Shanxi, so he continues to write about the Three Gorges from the perspective of two Shanxi people. Although we can't grasp the social situation in our hometown as well as in Ren Xiaoyao, it is more exciting than in The World. Taking the Three Gorges Project as the background, it is easier to grasp a distinct sense of change of the times than a complex metropolis.

Compared with Xiao Wu, this movie lacks a cathartic climax. Although there are clues such as extramarital affairs and finding a wife thousands of miles away, its suspense is not exciting, and its excitement is not even as good as tabloid social news. This is what makes Jia Zhangke's films valuable, or that Jia Zhangke has found his own narrative style, and does not rely on plot and suspense to fulfill the audience and himself, because the reality has never been fulfilled.

Perhaps the director dared not make up an unfamiliar life without authorization. The film did not describe the living conditions of the Three Gorges immigrants in detail, but the whole environment was displayed successfully. The real Three Gorges is such mottled walls, those blank eyes and those naked black shoulders, which are by no means as elegant as those in TV landscape films. All the scenery is beautiful, as light as paper money, and the life behind it is often heavy.

The economic level of towns along the Three Gorges has always been hovering around the poverty line. Even after the Three Gorges immigrants, many blind constructions, vain projects and even embezzlement of immigrant funds made the Three Gorges immigrants sacrifice not only their hometown below the water level. What is even more frightening is that the environmental effects brought by the Three Gorges Project have begun to appear, and the extinction of the Baiji dolphin is an example.

As a Three Gorges man, the Three Gorges Project was once a boastful capital. "Merit lies in the present, benefit lies in the future", and there is such a propaganda slogan on the Three Gorges site. But gradually, I feel a kind of vanity. When I told foreigners that we had the largest dam in the world, I didn't win much envy. It's like boasting that you have the most precious gold tooth in your mouth, but everyone knows it's not natural.

As for UFOs, this one is quite a Marquez-style magical realism. In fact, China today is full of absurdities. For example, all kinds of people in movies have mobile phones, but they may not be able to solve the problem of food and clothing. For example, the leader showed off the bridge built with the people's fat and paste, just like showing his plaything. This absurdity may be far greater than the appearance of UFO, so the protagonist in the movie is indifferent to it, and they care about the survival of daily necessities.

More than one director in China tried to show his concern for the bottom with extras and original ecological performances, but either he used a fairy tale ending to make the audience who dried their tears forget those sufferings after leaving the cinema. Or look down on all beings from the perspective of God who is compassionate, and let the audience think that their watching is a kind of pity and charity. Jia Zhangke's film throws this ambiguous concern aside, just telling you the fact that whether you watch this film or not, whether you are moved or not, there are such people and such lives in reality.

At the end of the movie, Sanming and the migrant workers will go to Shanxi to work in a coal mine with a high casualty rate. For them, there is no hope, just going from one kind of suffering to another. Still Alive, just alive.

a person who walks into a cinema is either looking for fun or seeking truth. If he wants to feel sensual pleasure or erotic reality, then he can go to another hall. Of course, you know what film I'm talking about. Therefore, if you do business, you will continue to be sincere.

"The Best Domestic Movie in 26" When China's movies are more and more like China's football, fortunately, there are always some surprises every year, so that we won't be completely desperate.

For me, the surprises in p>26 belong to Quiet Mani Stone, Tiangou, Glorious Rage, Crazy Stone and Tuya's Marriage.

The Marriage of Tuya is perhaps the most perfect one among these surprises.

The story is that on the increasingly arid grassland in Inner Mongolia, her husband, Bater, was disabled in both legs in order to dig a well, and his wife, tuya, alone shouldered the burden of the family. Long-term hard work has made her lumbar spine pathological changes, and even she is in danger of paralysis of her lower limbs. In order not to delay tuya any longer, Bater decided to divorce. In the face of reality, tuya can only agree. But she insisted on the condition of remarriage: the new husband must support Bater with himself. Thus, tuya's difficult process of choosing a husband began.

Tuya's Marriage is unusually calm and unconventional under the background that Chinese movies are becoming more and more vulgar and less intelligent. There is no "main melody" in the empty space, and it is also different from some "niche" and "underground" works. The feature of "Tuya Marriage" is "truth"-the plot is true and the performance is true. Different from the "realism" that attempts to reflect the truth, but in fact the creator lacks life experience or has ulterior motives and can only take it for granted in the end, the Marriage of Tuya is the real realism.

Like all great realistic creations, The Marriage of Tuya reflects the real life itself, and there is no deliberate "drama" here. However, the truth of life successfully presented in the film is really gripping and enough to impress the audience. The film has friendship, affection and love, but it is by no means cheap romance or illusory surrealism, but real human feelings.

the plot is true. Bater insisted on divorce because of his physical disability, but his helpless move showed warmth and tolerance. The ending of the film was that tuya finally remarried. In reality, there is really no way to arrange for the two couples to finally care for each other. Tuya's post-husband, Senge, is almost the ideal remarriage object for tuya, but the end of the film still tells us that even if Senge and tuya two of a kind, and he sincerely accepts Bater, their combination is still not happy, and there are still many difficulties and variables waiting for them in the future. This kind of design, beyond convention, is still the film creator's accurate consideration and grasp of life.

In the middle of the film, after an old classmate who secretly loved him for many years proposed marriage, tuya was really tempted to consider it for the first time. However, when the old classmate returned to the city with tuya and his children and left Bater in the welfare home, Bater, who was desperate, committed suicide after drinking, and the old classmate refused to rescue him, which eventually prompted tuya to choose to stay in the grassland and stay with Bater. Because of this incident, tuya and Senge gradually approached. A series of ups and downs, whether it is the old classmates' secret love for tuya for many years, or Bater's suicidal thoughts because of drunkenness, or tuya's reprimand to Bater after the rescue, as well as the old classmates' hesitation and calculation after receiving the distress call, are absolutely restored to life, without fabrication or taking it for granted.

As a professional actress, Yu Nan, the heroine, gave an absolutely high-quality performance, which presented the extraordinary life of an ordinary Mongolian woman in an absolute three-dimensional and absolute truth. The role of tuya is not easy to interpret, either it will slip into a vain sorrowful girl with bitter flowers or it will become a single-minded paranoid. Fortunately, Yu Nan handled it properly, and tuya's tenacity and simplicity were fully demonstrated by her restrained performance. A few scenes with strong emotional explosive force show Yu Nan's superb performance skills, which is beyond the reach of a large number of self-righteous vase actresses in China cinema. Although the Golden Rooster Award has gradually become a laughing stock, at least from the point of view that Yu Nan won the Golden Rooster Award, the choice of Golden Rooster is correct.

There are a large number of non-professional actors in movies. Although it has become a common practice to use non-professional actors in local movies in recent years, non-professional actors are at a loss and stiff in the face of the camera. Whether the performances of non-professional actors and mass actors with high quality can be trained is one of the criteria to judge the film quality and director level. Obviously, "Tuya's Marriage" is a success. No matter whether the appearance time is short or long, almost all the characters who appear are unusually bright, without stage fright or exaggeration. No supporting actor can say "not human words" lines-now the whole line is "not human words", which has become one of the labels of domestic large-scale production-and there is no repetition, exaggeration, affectation and other common faults in domestic film and television dramas in the performance of body movements, which are all vivid.

When it comes to Tuya's Marriage, it's hard not to compare it with The Three Gorges Good Man. They were released at a relatively close time. The directors of Tuya, Wang Quanan and Jia Zhangke, are both "the sixth generation" and have a certain reputation in Europe (Wang has won some European film awards, but his influence and popularity are not as good as Jia's). They also like to use a fixed cast (Jia is Wang Hongwei and Zhao Tao, and Wang is Yu Nan). Moreover, more importantly, both films focus on the real life and feelings of China people at the bottom.

However, Tuya's Marriage doesn't bear a grand theme like The Good Man of Three Gorges. The two films stand in different angles, and the creators of Tuya look at life and live in it like tuya. Jia Zhangke, on the other hand, is standing on a high place, looking down at the crowd with compassion (although he has a god's perspective, no god can change the world).

Wang Quanan, like tuya, can see that the world is changing and the times are changing, such as the increasingly desert grassland, the neighbor's wife running away with others for money, and the luxurious and absurd hotels outside the barren county town, such as the phone call from the lady in the hotel at midnight. But they have no time or care to think about the meaning behind these, because the busy and hard life is always coming one after another.

It is said that Tuya's Marriage has been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, but unless it wins the grand prize, there will only be fewer China audiences who can see it than The Three Gorges Good Man, although the former is more story-telling and ornamental than the latter.
