People caught by light: be yourself, and your world is what you believe.

Man in broad daylight is a realistic love movie written and directed by Run Niandong, starring Wang, Tan Zhuo, Huang Lu, Song Chunli, Ding Xihe, Lu, Jiao, Li Qian, Li Dan and Wang Juyou, especially Huang Jue. The film was shot on 20 19 65438+.

The film tells a sci-fi love story: one day, a strange light came to the earth and enveloped the city. Some people in the city were taken away by the light and suddenly disappeared. Later, it was rumored that these disappeared people were lovers. So in front of this light, everyone who stayed behind had doubts about their love and the other person in love: Do we really love each other? Does he or she still love me? This series of doubts disturbed everyone's daily life order and internal emotional order, and they began to explore the truth of light while facing their emotions.

The film "The Man Caught by Light" shows people the exploration of love by different characters, and also reveals what truth you believe in your world, calling on people to be loyal to themselves in love and face the ID. If the content of this film is not enough to show the charm of this film, I will further interpret the value of this film from two aspects: "film techniques and characterization". At the same time, in the third part of the article, I will talk about love in combination with the content of the film. There is no criterion for judging. Only you can define it.

The juxtaposition of 0 1 multiple lines allows the audience to understand the plot of the film from different sides, and the blank ending is thought-provoking.

(1) Multi-line juxtaposition narrative structure

Multiple lines refer to multiple clues relative to a single line; At first, juxtaposition refers to placing or arranging in a place or position, but later this concept was borrowed by literary and art circles and photography circles, resulting in new concepts such as "juxtaposition intention combination" and "juxtaposition photography".

Combined with narrative art, juxtaposition refers to the method of arranging multiple clues unrelated to time and space and logic together for narrative. In the juxtaposition of multiple lines, the use of multiple clues is not to increase drama. They are multi-clue parallel narratives regardless of the main line and sub-line.

The film "The Man Caught by Light" just adopts a multi-line juxtaposition narrative structure, which contains four independent stories, and explains the theme of the film from different sides from these four stories.

The first story: Wu Wenxue and Zhang Yan.

Wu Wenxue is a Chinese teacher with outstanding teaching ability, a harmonious relationship between husband and wife, and a daughter who goes to middle school. Everything looks beautiful. However, on the bright day, just because the two of them did not disappear, people around him thought of people who disappeared from the light, and he began to doubt whether he and his wife had lived together for so many years, such as a dull husband and wife life, and whether there was still love. So he struggled with his own heart and the eyes of others.

The second story: Li Nan and Hu Jianping.

Li Nan is dignified and has a strong working ability. She is a very independent woman, but it is such a woman who wants to divorce her husband Hu Jianping on Hanukkah, but her husband has never come. When she returned to work, Xiaosan came to her door. She firmly believes that her husband can't accept that she loves Hu Jianping because the light has disappeared, so she gives herself a reason. She wanted to know who her husband's true love was, so she began to look for it with Xiaosan. In the end, the truth came out, not "lightly" but accidentally took away her husband, and she gradually let go of her reason and accepted the fact that she actually loved her husband.

The third story: Liu Jia Yihe Wang Yang.

Liu Jia Jardine Young-fly-Wang is a young couple. Regardless of parents' opposition, he stole the household registration book to get a marriage certificate and forced his parents to die for love. But after that light came, Liu Jia's parents who quarreled all day disappeared, but she and her boyfriend stayed. Based on this, Liu Jiayi decided that her boyfriend didn't love her and wanted to break up with her. Boyfriend didn't want to, and finally she committed suicide by jumping off a building to prove her love. Liu Jiayi finally sat in front of her boyfriend's bed, cut open her heart and faced her who really loved her boyfriend.

The fourth story: chopsticks and Qinshan.

Chopsticks is a street thug who specializes in debt collection and fights all day, but he has special feelings for Xiaoqinshan. Qinshan disappeared on the day of illumination, and chopsticks refused to accept it. He suspected that Qinshan was killed by Zhou Hao. So he began to squat down every day to "kill" Zhou Hao, the master of Qinshan. When the government could not sentence the host because of insufficient evidence, chopsticks picked up a butcher's knife and completed "revenge" for their lover. Chopsticks have been reluctant to accept that he loves Qinshan. He didn't accept that Qinshan was taken away by light, so he blamed Zhou Hao's injury for the disappearance of Qinshan.

These four couples have different love problems and adopt different attitudes and ways, showing the differences in love. At the same time, these four stories are interrelated, telling the story that the four protagonists never accept and finally face their own stories, which once again strengthens the theme of the film.

② Blank ending

The blank ending has no real ending, but the audience thinks about the ending themselves. The audience can choose any character they like and design an ending according to their own ideas.

The people caught by the light returned to the end of the film, but did not explain what the light was about, where the disappeared people went, whether they came back, and so on. The film leaves the audience with what this light is and the ending of the disappeared person, so that the audience can guess for themselves through the lives of those who stay, and then affirm their answers. This is the thought left by the blank ending. It is close to life, life does not provide answers, but the flowing time allows you to find answers, and the answers are not unique.

The portrayal of four characters in the film reflects people in real life.

The film The Man Taken Away by Light adopts multi-line narration. This film contains four stories, and each story has a protagonist. The film created these four protagonists and used them to tell people to be loyal to themselves. There is no standard to judge love.

Wu Wenxue: Love is facing your heart.

On the day of lighting, Wu Wenxue and his wife zhangyan did not disappear. Later, it was rumored that light is actually the standard to test love, and only those who love will disappear. In addition, Wu Wenxue's wife didn't disappear because of the school's evaluation of senior titles, so the school thought there was something wrong with his quality and gave this opportunity to another teacher whose wife disappeared in the light.

Wu Wenxue is also increasingly skeptical about whether there is love between himself and his wife. As Wu Wenxue's mother said, "She doesn't love you, and you don't love her, that is, you don't love anyone. Only these possibilities! " In order to make a decent face, Wu Wenxue kept "proving love" to others: giving his wife a photo to explain her absence that day, and giving her a reason not to disappear; After this reason was exposed, he ignored his wife and put the life of husband and wife in front of everyone; When his wife is desperate enough to talk to another man, he unilaterally thinks that his wife is cheating, and so on. He refused to face his true self and his false self in love.

Until the end, a grade teacher confessed to him that he went out to get a room to get back at his wife. When the female teacher came, he suddenly woke up, tore off his mask and faced the ID.

Wu Wenxue's marriage seems peaceful, but it is actually a cover-up. The saddest thing is that he doesn't know himself, refuses to analyze his mistakes, puts all the mistakes on others, and always lives in a beautiful feeling of self-deception.

Wu Wenxue has a wide range of representatives, and he is also very cute. Only when people bravely tear off the fig leaf and face up to the problem can they really start to solve the problem. When faced with the temptation of excitement, I tried to give in thousands of times and finally restrained myself, only then did I show the truth of human nature and the value of persistence, and I was qualified to get rid of the word "pseudo" in front of gentlemen.

② Hu Jianping: Love is not to satisfy self-needs.

The character Hu Jianping has never appeared from beginning to end, but this movie tells us that he really exists. His wife and mistress thought he was missing. They wanted to know who he disappeared with and who he loved among so many women, so they searched together and uncovered Hu Jianping's heart: he first loved his wife Li Nan's independence, then disliked her lack of interest, and then fell in love with He's enthusiasm, but disliked her entanglement. The misfortune of his first love aroused his desire for protection, but complained that his responsibility was too heavy. ...

Hu Jianping represents people who always pursue love with a demanding attitude. In essence, they only meet their own needs unilaterally. They pull away and leave at any time, but in fact, they don't love anyone. All their love is to satisfy their feelings. This is not love.

③ Liu Jiayi: There is no standard for true love.

Liu Jiayi was born in a rich family, but her parents were not harmonious. They have their own lives outside and changed their faces at home. There is no love between their parents.

After the light happened, her parents disappeared, which made her very puzzled. Why did the parents who lived their own lives disappear, but she and her object did not? She stubbornly believes that the person who has true love is the one whose light disappears, and regards light as the only criterion of love: since neither she nor her object has disappeared, it proves that the object does not love her, so she proposes to break up.

Boyfriend Wang Yang doesn't agree. Wang Yang tried to save his girlfriend's heart in a very strong way. What he didn't expect was that this way pushed his girlfriend further. There is no way. In order to prove to his girlfriend that he really loves her, he chose to jump off a building.

When Wang Yang jumped off a building, Liu Jiayi realized: Where does love come from? I love you and want to live with you. Isn't that love?

Chopsticks: People who can't accept themselves are the most pathetic.

Chopsticks are worried about the disappearance of Qinshan. After the light happened, the researcher told him that those who disappeared from the light had love, while those who stayed had no love. Chopsticks don't accept this theory. He didn't accept that he fell in love with Qinshan, and stubbornly believed that Qinshan was harmed by Zhou Hao. So after Qinshan disappeared, he "killed" Zhou Hao, the owner of Qinshan every day. In the case that the government could not sentence because of insufficient evidence, he picked up the butcher's knife and completed "revenge" for Qinshan.

If you fall in love, you fall in love. Why avoid your heart? Emotions are extremely complex and cannot be defined by kindness or right or wrong. Everyone should be truly loyal to themselves, truly see themselves emotionally, face themselves, accept themselves and be loyal to themselves.

There is no standard to discuss love in combination with movies. Only you can define it.

"The Man Taken Away by Light" revolves around this kind of light, from those who stay behind to those who struggle hard and face their hearts. Instead of believing in this kind of light, they are actually telling the audience that there is no test standard for love.

I heard a particularly interesting sentence before: what you believe is what your world is. If you believe in love, then love exists, just like Wu Wenxue in the movie. At first, he actually believed in love. He believed that he loved his wife. But after the light appeared, he also began to question the love with his wife, so he felt that there was no love in his world.

People should be loyal to themselves in this life, as director Rundong said:

The most important thing in life is how you face yourself. In fact, people's life is to get along with themselves. When you are with different people, you are actually mapping different yourself.

This is included in the love relationship, in fact, many times you have to find yourself that makes you most comfortable and willing to face. When two people get along together, as long as you can present your truest self, you must be the safest and most comfortable at that time, and you are willing to be with this person. Even if he is not the most beautiful, his temper is not the best. He may have some shortcomings, but you are the truest when you are with him. This relationship is unbreakable, called soul mate.

The less embellishment when two people face each other, the closer the two souls are. I think this story is such a metaphor. In a relationship, people will find out who they really are. I think this is what I want to express most.

You have to see yourself clearly and admit that you are like this. I think most people don't know themselves clearly in life, let alone be loyal to themselves.

04 written at the end

In life, someone will always ask, what is true love, and how to judge that he loves me?

After reading The Man Caught by Light, you will understand that there is no standard for love. There are two words for those we think are beautiful and those we think are sad. Love can only be defined by itself. As long as people in love feel worthwhile and have no regrets, isn't that enough? Who are we to judge?

I hope you can also get inspiration about love from the four protagonists in this movie.
