Three Gorges Good Man Film Review

1

Let me introduce the background first.

It was in 2007 that I was on a business trip in other places and was seconded to a brother company (Taiwan-funded) to help them complete the project. For the first time, I lived with people in Taiwan Province Province, fully understanding the cruelty of capitalists and the desolation and helplessness of industrial workers.

In order to catch up with the progress of the project, the 997 working system was implemented. Every day from 8 am to 9: 30 pm, I don't get off work until 5 pm on Sunday, and there is no rest day. Their rest days in a year add up to no more than 20 days.

At first, I was not used to it. Joking with them, saying that the bus was a prison car, they all laughed blankly and couldn't refute it.

I have been in contact with several middle-level people before, and they are all very humorous in my impression. Everyone smiles, and everyone is called "leader". Love to tell dirty jokes, they are all sexy, and everyone has a lover.

Really go deep into their lives and see the other side: rigid work, doing nothing every day, leaving work at 9: 30 in the evening, no one dares to skip work. Because bosses in Taiwan Province Province have many eyes, their every move is under monitoring.

Going out to do business is their happiest time, because they can escape from the cage for a short time. Just like a child got his beloved lollipop, several men in their forties regained their humor and vitality.

Their favorite game is the automatic shooting game. Everyone tries to shoot, concentrate and vent all the squares in their chests in a limited time of three minutes.

I get off work at five o'clock on Sunday, which is the only public holiday. I don't know where the girls came from. Go with them.

I used to be very critical of these Taiwan Province people. But at that time, I said that I had a deep understanding.

Taiwan Province's industries have declined, and the mainland is their only chance to display their skills. The boss knows this, so he can squeeze every drop of their blood at will.

When people from Taiwan Province Province left, we mainlanders who borrowed money became bored and all went to Internet cafes for recreation.

Internet cafe is a very depressing place, with dirty air and noisy people. Staying there really needs some tolerance. At that time, there was no smart phone, so I could only surf the Internet through the computer.

When I was bored, I turned to the movie "The Three Gorges Good Man" and just won the Golden Lion Award. Jia is having a big discussion with Zhang Yimou about "Gold or Good Man".

I opened the film, the title of which was a long shot of more than three minutes, sweeping the men and women on the ferry: the man was wearing a straw hat and smoking a cigarette; Middle-aged people who read palms for the elderly; A man who smokes silently with bare arms; A few idle women and children ... are all in their original state, their clothes are shabby and casual, their actors are ordinary, and they can't see the traces of makeup and the habits of professional actors.

This is my first contact with this kind of film. It's rough, primitive and without external decoration. When the characters speak, they are all dialects, such as Shanxi dialect, Sichuan dialect and Sichuan mandarin ... this is really a special experience. So that I couldn't adapt for a while, which broke my previous viewing experience and had a great sense of distance from the performance of the original ecology in the film, and I couldn't enter the plot for a long time.

With the development of the plot, I gradually integrated into it, and gradually moved with the ups and downs of the fate of the characters. At the end of the film, when Han Sanming, the hero, took the Three Gorges brothers to work in Shanxi coal mine, I was completely shocked.

Good man in Three Gorges: Jia's improvisation.

Originally, I went to the Three Gorges reservoir area to make a documentary for the painter Liu Xiaodong. Liu Xiaodong hired migrant workers who demolished houses in the reservoir area as models, but the painting was not finished. One of the migrant workers died unexpectedly while demolishing the house.

Jia was shocked when the crew expressed their condolences to the family of the deceased. He saw these humble groups like ants. They are the outcasts of this forward era. Nobody cares about their joys and sorrows, and nobody cares about their joys and sorrows. They grew up silently and died silently.

The world only knows princes and princes, who has made a biography for the people?

Jia quickly wrote a script, describing the joys and sorrows of people in Fengjie, a small town that is about to be submerged, through the story of a Shanxi miner looking for relatives in the Three Gorges reservoir area.

Male No.2 "Mark" is a local punk who worships Chow Yun Fat and is loyal to Jianghu. I was hacked to death in the ruins for fifty dollars.

Han Sanming, a coal miner in Shaanxi, goes to Qian Jie to find his long-lost wife and daughter. His ex-wife became a servant of the local boatman in order to pay her debts. In order to save his wife, he decided to go back to Shanxi to dig coal for three years.

The migrant workers who work with him as short-term workers ask: can you earn a lot of money by digging coal?

Han Sanming: Two hundred a day.

The atmosphere livened up.

Han Sanming: You have to think it over. It's dangerous. More than a dozen people died last year. I don't know if I can come back at night if I go down in the morning.

Awkward silence, everyone silently smoking a cigarette.

"fuck!" All the glasses touch together. No matter how difficult it is, you have to make a choice. You can't wait to die.

The gentlest scene among the good people in the Three Gorges appeared at the end. Han Sanming negotiated with the boatman, and his ex-wife came to a shabby house in the ruins. Sanming squatted on the ground smoking, and his ex-wife took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Sanming. Sanming bit half a piece and returned the remaining half to his wife. Two weather-beaten middle-aged people, without gorgeous clothes and impressive looks, only have the persistence of living together and the determination to fight against fate. They looked at each other and chewed half a candy silently.

I don't know what kind of families those 997 migrant workers in Taiwan Province Province are and how they spend their short time visiting relatives every year.

It is said that in recent years, the business situation of that enterprise is not good and many people have left there.

I hope they don't work so hard now and can spend more time with their families. I wish them happiness.
