If I hadn't lived in Guizhou for many years, if my heart hadn't been hurt by the past, the roadside picnic would have been nothing more than a little movie that I was ignorant and confused after watching, and I might even think I was watching a documentary filmed by DV. Speaking of movies set in Guizhou, the last one that impressed me the most was Green Red ten years ago, just like watching the hasty youth of my parents' generation. This is the charm of the film's fine points, which can make people feel forgotten.
Carey: I can't get my heart now.
"Kaili East is connected with Leishan County in Taijiang, Danzhai County in Majiang in the south, Fuquan County in the west and huangping county in the north. Its geographical location is east longitude107.40.58-108.12.9, with the longest east-west span of 5 1.76 km and the longest north-south span of 44.3 km ... Not people who have lived here for many years, but curious guests who often read city profiles.
The story begins with the power failure in Kelly Clinic, but Bobby Chen in a white coat is a patient. On the empty terrace, the old doctor looked at Carey at night and nagged a few words of medical advice. The dog who didn't like drunkards came running again. It was sunny for three days, gloomy and humid, and the film was covered with old filters, just like moldy old walls, a leaking room and a gloomy sky. Carey, occupying more than half of the space, is Bobby Chen's present life, with his work, his relatives and friends, and his difficulties and helplessness.
Coming out of the bomb shelter, Bobby Chen looked lonely, but in fact he was lonely. Middle-aged people, alone, his wife died of illness, his mother died, and his brother was not around, leaving his nephew Weiwei as comfort. Such a man, as ordinary as any passerby, is nothing special at first glance, but loves to write abstract poems. He wrote poems and published this collection of poems. He is afraid of some stories. After all, a poet is a rare identity, except for the enter key.
Back to the city
Subtropical monsoon bank
Flooded the bridge that was not drunk.
A drunken building
Wake up with silence
There is no plain in Guizhou. Even in large cities, there are many steep slopes connected with mountains. The mountains here are more like wild fields than anywhere else, with thorns and shrubs in disorder and crops such as corn and sorghum planted among rocks. From a distance, all the fields are in a mess, and it is difficult for laymen to tell which ones are planted artificially and which ones are grown by themselves. The hills are like shaved hair, and the east is long and the west is bald. I regard it as barbaric growth, and the word "wild" has quite a personality.
In fact, places, like people, have their own temper and personality. Guizhou is mountainous and steep, with swift rivers and waterfalls, many caves and air-raid shelters. The wild style that can be seen everywhere has spawned some unusual "ghosts". I said fishy, has nothing to do with ghosts and gods, but describes the mystery of Guizhou, imitating spiritual power to attract people to explore. The story that happened here, even if it seems unremarkable, will have some twists and turns, just like Bobby Chen with multiple identities.
As a poet, he is exquisite. He was patient when he was a doctor. As a husband, he is affectionate. When he is a friend, he is just. When he was a brother, he was very patient. When he was an uncle, he was very kind. Only when he was a child did he escape. What happened to him later originated from his lonely childhood and even felt like being abandoned. Therefore, he will cherish the emotion especially, because when it is most needed, the emotion is missing.
Without music, your ears will degenerate.
If there is no commandment, put out the candle.
It's like going back to the days when photography was misunderstood.
You took my soul.
No razor, no language.
I lived for nine years without a heart.
Speaking of which, people in Bobby Chen are becoming more and more perfect. What it is now, the black history of the past will still appear. It turns out that Bobby Chen was mixed up with his eldest brother when he was young, but he was sentenced for breaking someone's finger for his eldest brother. Unintentionally walking dead, after nine years in prison, Bobby Chen lost his mother and wife, and even failed to see her for the last time.
In the following days, Bobby Chen lived well, but there was no hope. It was not until he learned that his nephew had been sold that Chen Sheng was angry with his younger brother and traded the house left by his mother for the future stability of Xiao Wei, thus embarking on the road of searching. Since then, Xiao Wei has become the expectation of Bobby Chen. If people want to live in a down-to-earth way, they must find some ideas or go on without hesitation.
Now here, everyone is unhappy, everyone can do nothing but take the road of habit. The whole city seems to be shrouded in the sultry heat before the rain, and people are somewhat depressed and have been delayed for a long time. Once sorted out, it's like an old doctor's box. Once it's taken out, it falls apart, and firecrackers can't be lit after a long time. Everywhere seems to be helpless nostalgia, full of useless regrets.
Second, put the wheat: the future heart is not available.
I dreamed of embroidered shoes worn by my mother, patterns on batik cloth and lusheng music played by Miao people. Bobby Chen attributed these lingering dreams to the geomantic omen of the old house to be demolished. The content of dreams is mentioned many times in the film. The old doctor dreamed of his son who died in a car accident, and the Chinese monk dreamed that his son wanted a watch and tossed wheat on the train. Dream is a ghost, falling asleep when conscious, floating out of the black hole of the heart to let out the wind.
Freud once explained, "When sleeping, the mind will either ignore external stimuli, or deny its existence with dreams, or' weave vivid lies' to continue sleeping as much as possible. Therefore, we can regard' the desire to sleep' as one of the motives of dreams, and every dream is the satisfaction of this desire. " Therefore, dreams carry the past and loss that people can't let go of. I can't get it, but my heart has become a dream.
Someone must have left and come back.
The empty bamboo basket is full of love.
There must be some kind of damage, such as dust.
Some valleys spread out like hands.
When it comes to the process of swinging wheat, some people are fascinated by the long lens of more than 40 minutes, some people are arguing whether this is a dream or true, and others are struggling with the overlap of time and space. Just like the saying about the savage, there are different opinions and it is difficult to conclude. And my first feeling is, to jilt wheat as an imaginary farewell, is also a clean-up for Bobby Chen.
Bobby Chen, who never sang, took the initiative to publicly sing "Little Jasmine". The young man who drives a motorcycle loves to eat powder and draw clocks, also called Weiwei. The young woman who runs a barber shop looks like her dead wife and wants to see the sea. The crazy drunkard has become a driver, but he still loves to drink. Carey, these familiar faces seem to have problems. This kind of mistake is perfect, and there is no regret in the dream. Bobby Chen seems to see his dead wife Zhang Xi again, singing for her and describing the sea and dolphins. Wei Wei has grown into an adult with a girl she likes, even an alcoholic who only fights in an abandoned car is normal.
If the coincidence is incredible, it may be a scam. When Chen Sheng sent this tape, he said it was Li Taixiang's farewell. I suddenly realized that everything that happened when Mai was Bobby Chen's farewell dream. Say goodbye to the past, to yourself, to your wife and to your mother. Bobby Chen directed and performed reconciliation with the past. Only by truly letting go of the past can Bobby Chen move on with her future life.
White vinegar, spring dream, wild grapefruit
Stuff the memory into the blood vessels in your palm.
The light of the flashlight passes through the back of the palm.
It's like seeing a dolphin fall into a cloud.
The only new face is Yang Yang, who has nothing to do with the past. She is about to leave to be a wheat, and she seems to belong to the future. In the whole film, only Yang Yang's skirt is bright and dazzling. Although Zhang Xi in my memory was wearing a red dress, it was dark red, far less detached than the lemon yellow in Yang Yang, embellishing all the gloom and depression. Such yellow represents hope, light and happiness.
I like the scene when Yang Yang got on the boat. I took a seemingly meaningless circle and you were still waiting by my side. Walking along the stone steps next to the house to the river, I got on the boat and began to recite the tour guide's words. When I was stuck, I heard David remind me loudly on the shore. Yang Yang got off the boat and bought a windmill, but the windmill was taken away by David who was waiting. Yang Yang heard the train passing by, and David broke the windmill. They walked across the suspension bridge on the river together. David offered to accompany her to Kaili, but he was silent but didn't refuse. Back to the original road, I actually crossed the river without doing anything, and there was no need to take a boat. However, after you come back, Yang Yang's mind has made a decision. Regarding the relationship with David Wei, it is acceptable to tie a red rope to the motorcycle at the back.
David Wei is a little prick, but he still keeps his promise. He took Bobby Chen to the boat and told him how to deal with the savage. Sure enough, David tied a stick to Bobby Chen's arm, which was really interesting. While waiting for the boat, Bobby Chen pulled the stick down, because he was no longer afraid of the so-called savage, and finally he was relieved. Savagery is a fast knot in my memory, because I dare not face it, so I have never had the courage to untie it.
Third, Zhenyuan: the heart of the past cannot be obtained.
Finally came to Zhenyuan, a town with a long history, and finally met the Miao people who played Lusheng. It turned out that the old doctor's beloved Lin was Master Lusheng. Looking for Miao people all the way, playing Lusheng is a funeral for Lin's lover. Maybe the old doctor was right not to come. An old lover who has been separated for half his life is worried when he sees that he is seriously ill, and he is also worried that his promise will not be fulfilled. The news of his death is even more heartbreaking. Silent concern finally lost to time, but no matter how much I miss it, I can't find the feeling of meeting again.
In the film, Zhenyuan is constantly entangled with the characters' past. Bobby Chen spent a lonely childhood here, and his mother deeply regretted it. The old doctor knew that his former lover had been living here, and the monk Hua chose to open a watch shop here to soothe the pain of losing his son and bury his past as a big brother in a mixed society. Zhenyuan is like the tree hole in Angkor Wat at the end of In the Mood for Love, which hides many people's old times and secrets, quietly watching someone come, someone leave and someone stop.
All the twists and turns are hidden in the dense birds.
Neither the sky nor the ocean can detect it.
With a beautiful dream, you can see it.
A moment's upside-down exploration
There are only the last ten minutes about Zhenyuan's scene. For most people, the present is long, the future is vague and the past is scattered. All the clues of the present and the future come from the unconnected past, just as the rushing river comes from the humble trickle. For a long time, Bobby Chen's longing and lack of love began when he was far away from the town. But his childhood and the knot with his mother are always spoken through other people's mouths, and he doesn't seem to want to mention it too much.
Years later, Bobby Chen returned to Zhenyuan to look for his nephew again, which was like reliving his memory and repeating his fate. For a long time, Bobby Chen has been taking care of Xiao Wei, and proposed several times to let his nephew live with himself, not only because of his blood relationship and his mother's wishes, but also because his predicament is very similar to his childhood self. Living away from relatives and living alone is just a decent abandonment.
Time and loss are the strongest corrosives. Once a Jianghu elder brother, he was like a tiger with his teeth pulled out and his claws removed. Because of the old man's nagging, the flower monk didn't want Bobby Chen to pick up Xiao Wei. He regards his children as substitutes for his family. Old electric fans, as well as various clocks and watches, all appeared in some way. The cycle is always not smooth, and the repair is good and bad. The past cannot be obtained, and the years cannot be chased. When you are older, you are more likely to fall into the strange circle of memory. If Bobby Chen regards Xiao Weiwei as himself, doesn't the flower monk also regard Bobby Chen as himself? Those who have tasted regret know how to cherish the present.
Winter is November and December.
January, February, March and April
When my light shines on you
Reunion is a dark room.
After all, he didn't make up his mind. Bobby Chen left a few buttons. On Monday's deadline, he hid in the dark and looked at Xiao Wei from a distance with a telescope, and then left. Has Xiao Weiwei been recovered by Bobby Chen? Thinking about the unspoken future, I feel like reading Shen Congwen's Border Town, wondering if Cui Cui will come back after he leaves.
Whether young Wei Wei will become David Wei, Bobby Chen, foreigner or monk when he grows up actually depends on his situation and the attitude he faces. Two brothers, Bobby Chen and a foreigner, have revolving lanterns hanging in their homes, and the elements of the ballroom appear here, with some surreal style contrast. One hangs on a noisy and bright balcony, and the other hangs in a dark and humid room, just like one chooses to live hard and the other chooses to be muddled. Life is different, no wonder life, but blame yourself.
The tunnel behind the car is getting smaller and smaller, but the lights in front are getting wider and wider. When Bobby Chen went back, he slept for a while. When he closed his eyes, there was a clock on the opposite train. Xiao Wei saw it, but didn't pick it up at once. Bobby Chen at least breathed a sigh of relief. Lin found a lover, but there was only one funeral song. Bobby Chen is a loyal man. Bobby Chen finally got something from his trip to the wheat field, whether it was a dream or a fantasy. Some reunions are also a kind of self-healing.
The muffled sound of pouring thermos bottles, small pots of asparagus on the wooden table, green leather trains with open windows, blue cloth batiks and black Miao people, corn in wild mountains, noisy waterfalls and dark caves can be seen everywhere ... The place where I spent my initial childhood is full of distant missing fragments, even if I haven't returned for many years, there are good and bad.
The Diamond Sutra says: "The heart of the past cannot be obtained, the heart of the present cannot be obtained, and the heart of the future cannot be obtained." To me, this movie is like a fool's play to Bobby Chen. I had a dream of unknown time and space. When I woke up, I forgot what I should have forgotten, and then I gradually became honest with myself. You can't get what you know, or you can have less regrets.
The English translation of the title of the film is Kaili Blues, a kind of blues that matches the poem and has its own melancholy mood. Like the sea, ponds dyed blue by mercury mines are unlikely to have dolphins because they are polluted by excessive heavy metals. Bobby Chen said that when Zhang Xi got married, they lived in a small house near the waterfall. They only dance at home and don't talk because they can't hear. Scenes that only appear in lines, recalled in silent time, romantic in fantasy, stained with fishy smell in humid air, wrote strange poems.
