Hawthorn Tree Love Film Review 2000 words

I definitely and unconditionally like this movie.

The emotion expressed in The Hawthorn Tree Love must be something that many people want to have but never have. I also admit that the so-called innocence in the film is a bit overkill, and whether it is put in the world where lust is rampant now or in the era when thoughts are relatively simple, such innocence seems to be a little divorced from reality, but it conforms to the most fundamental and primitive characteristics of love, and Zhang Yimou has achieved a sensational but not sensational effect by deliberately purifying this love. Therefore, I

For film and television works adapted from well-known original works, people will inevitably compare the original works. This reaction is instinctive, but sometimes the view is biased. Personally, we should distinguish the adaptation of best-selling popular novels from the adaptation of classic literary masterpieces, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dream of Red Mansions. Their artistic charm and ideological connotation have been widely recognized by people, and they have become an inseparable part of national culture to a certain extent, so we must be cautious when adapting, and we must take their cultural influence into account. I don't mean to belittle Amy, but the original novel Love under the Hawthorn Tree is just a best-selling novel, far from being a classic. Its own artistic achievements have been tested for a long time, and its influence is limited to a few intellectual groups. What is such a novel in today's information explosion era? Many people don't know the original when they watch the movie Love of Hawthorn Tree. They are all aimed at the word "Zhang Yimou", at that particular era, and at the so-called "pure love" that has been publicized, which has nothing to do with the original work. Compared with the original, why not do nothing when you are full? Therefore, the film "Hawthorn Tree Love" itself can be regarded as a reprocessing of the original novel. Today, with the diversification and subdivision of artistic expressions, this kind of adaptation and re-creation can't be compared with the process of novels such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms based on summing up folk stories and historical facts. Whether the novel version of Love of Hawthorn Tree or the movie version of Love of Hawthorn Tree is more recognized by people is still inconclusive, so the movie Love of Hawthorn Tree is Zhang Yimou's Love of Hawthorn Tree, which has little to do with the original work. Therefore, Zhang Yimou didn't put the colors extremely bright and colorful and the style extremely vulgar and simple this time, but pushed his love extremely pure and beautiful. Zhang Yimou, who likes to go to extremes, has not changed. As he himself said, "He likes strong things", but some people's mentality has changed.

The film's restoration of the background of the times is very elegant. Poor rural life, simple and even silly characters, revolutionary slogans and slogans everywhere, blind pride in fighting against the world, and a strong sense of substitution of the times. Especially in the scene rehearsed in Jingqiu, the enthusiasm and mechanical admiration for the leader came to mind. It was fashionable at that time to look at those silly and ridiculous songs and dances with the eyes of modern people. I believe that such a scene has a feeling of isolation, which will definitely make a specific audience return to that era with mixed feelings immediately. From this detail, Zhang Yimou's target audience is not only the younger generation in the Internet age, but also those who are more willing to reminisce with movies must be those born after the sixties and seventies or even earlier. Only people in this era can truly appreciate the general feelings of people in that hot-headed era. The younger generation may be more willing to discuss whether the love in the film is "pure love" according to the original work. Therefore, watching Love of Hawthorn Tree is a nostalgic journey belonging to a specific group. For me, Love of Hawthorn Tree touched me far more than the Tangshan earthquake, so it should be more realistic and critical.

The commercial success of Tangshan Earthquake is entirely due to the psychological damage caused by two natural disasters in China in the past 32 years and the universal affection between mother and son. It is impossible and powerless to criticize the man-made disasters behind the two earthquakes. Compared with the Tangshan earthquake, Zhang Yimou's Love of Hawthorn Trees is obviously not bound by so many realistic and political factors. People coming from that era must have seen the silence and helplessness of individual love in the face of chaotic times and cruel life. The characters in the film have repeatedly mentioned the phrase "in case the policy changes". Today's people may not be able to deeply understand the bitterness and bitterness of China people in that era hidden behind this line. People are confused by political movements again and again, and the passionate collective in their chests is full of collective confusion. Political turmoil leads people to doubt the continuity and stability of this policy, which is closely related to the fate of individuals who cannot self-determination. Heaven or hell depends on the change of this "policy" There are not too many movies that can't reveal all kinds of dark sides under the background of the times, but we can still feel the sadness of the times deeply branded in the hearts of Chinese people from some events with the characteristics of the times.

Admittedly, part of the whole story was over-beautified, but two new actors, especially Zhou Dongyu's simple and clean performance, made up for this deficiency seriously, without making people feel artificial and willing to believe in that pure beauty. Zhou Dongyu on the screen is definitely much better than the innocence on the screen. When casting, Zhang Yimou said that he believed in his own vision and was sure that Zhou Dongyu would shine in front of the camera. Facts show that Zhang Yimou is not lying, and he really has this ability. But there is something wrong with the scene where the third child forces Jingqiu to go to the hospital to see her foot injury. It's not that the process is unreal, but that the actors didn't respond and the performance was deliberate. But overall, Zhou Dongyu is perfect. In addition, it should be said that Zhang Yimou's ability to control images is still very distinctive and skillful, which is his strong point. However, it is hard to understand that Zhang Yimou's experience cannot be ignored. Frequent subtitles will not only affect the rhythm of the film, but also expose the lack of narrative ability. This mistake is a waste of martial arts. Fortunately, the film story itself is a very soothing process, and this improper handling has not caused fatal damage to the appreciation of the film.

Although the love between Lao San and Jing Qiu was deliberately purified by Zhang Yimou, this purification is only in artistic conception, and the situation that two people dare not hold hands and dare not date is real, which can be verified from the personal experience of the previous generation. The feeling of peace between two people is the basic feature of that era, yes. It is meaningless to measure its "purity" with the eyes of modern people nurtured by pornography, and it is a kind of self-talk to show off. At that time, there were countless people who lived in peace because of their composition and origin, and because of their policies, so the middle-aged people in the cinema secretly shed tears because of their self-injury to the past. This feeling is the loss of the basic principle of love, and it has been "tempered" into invulnerability. Can the new and new human beings feel it? To some extent, modern people are not worthy to talk about the word "pure love". Is it pure? So stop pretending. As for the dissatisfaction with reality, it is actually easy to drag it into the movie, but there is always a feeling of being lost by evil fire. It is precisely because the real love is so material and emotional that the legendary love is so pure and precious, and this legendary love did exist. If you only care about Zhang Yimou's personal artistic pursuit without the characteristics of the times reflected in the film, it is really a last resort, picky and dare to pretend? If this kind of love is not pure, what is purity? Does the Cowherd and Weaver Girl Tianhe match?

In reality, love is troubled by houses, cars, faces, tickets and sperm. It is difficult to simply love and be loved without any material purpose. I admit that I was infected by that situation, so I was very involved. Another reason why I like this movie is that although I am physically obsessed with this era, I yearn for an era that I have never experienced before, an era that I think is poor, powerful, stupid but lovely. Therefore, I am willing to believe that pure beauty.
