How to evaluate Pan Hong's old film Du Shiniang?

Film critics are infatuated with women and fickle lovers, one after another, regardless of the past and the present —— A record of the film "Du Shiniang" by the team of "Xiao Fang tells history"

Du Shiniang is an old movie I saw 1982. At that time, I felt so profound and amazing.

For many years, I can't forget the part where Du Shiniang finally threw the jewels, necklaces and jade bracelets into the river. At that time, I wanted to jump into the river to salvage the treasure that Du Shiniang threw into the water!

Speaking of Du Shiniang in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is this film by Pan Hong. Do you think it is profound or not?

This film is adapted from Feng Menglong's "The Warning Story of Du Shiniang's Wrath Box", which is the first time that mainland filmmakers have adapted Du Shiniang's story into a costume drama. When 1982 was released, the number of copies of this film was the highest in China.

Most of the movie lines are from Feng Menglong's original works, which are very classic.

The casting of this film was very successful.

Pan Hong, who is quite expensive, makes the characters in the film more solid. This bright face can be regarded as one of Pan Hong's ancient costume screen classics, and it is too much to say that it is a peerless beauty.

When I was a child, I kept staring at Pan Hong. When I grew up, I once again felt the beauty of Pan Hong and the perseverance of Du Shiniang-I was deeply impressed by the acting skills of the older generation of artists.

I really like the style of Du Shiniang 198 1 version of ladies' paintings-it's really exquisite, every painting is exquisite to the bone, and the composition photography is so antique. In addition, the costumes, makeup and scenery in the play tend to be traditional, and Pan Hong's performance is also a bit traditional.

The most beautiful thing is the wearing degree of calligraphy and painting, and the details are very classical and beautiful.

Old movies just have the advantages of old movies-everything is like antiques.

Du Shiniang's costumes and props, teapot and wine lamp embroidery. Magnificent, the pictures of clothing objects are very delicate and beautiful, which is a major attraction of the film.

When I was a child, I only read stories. Now look at them and find the details more detailed.

The highlight of the film is in the last half hour. Du Shiniang's "jumping into the river with a treasure chest" ended his life in the most decisive way. This thrilling ending is the focus of the film, and it is also used by the original author Feng Menglong to impress readers.

I am convinced that any literary works written by the ancients are the feedback of values at that time. From what point of view, choose what as the object of praise, the motivation is clear. Considering the tradition of vanilla beauty, Qingwen and Du Shiniang must have an image sustenance-in short, I appreciate this ending arrangement.

Around this ending, I saw more sighs and statements, focusing on: Du Shiniang didn't have to jump into the river. The world is big, and there are sincere people. Why did he sink into the river?

In my opinion, people who say these things still don't understand movies, because they all hold modern sayings.

Yes, in the eyes of modern people, Du Shiniang is talented, has a strong will, and most importantly, has money! Why kill yourself? Why not be nice to yourself? Why should we look at people's faces when the economy is independent? Why do you want to pin your life's happiness on others?

But in ancient times, no matter how beautiful and rich she was, a woman's greatest happiness was to have a happy family and take good care of her husband. This is not a difficult question, nor does it mean that her ideological limitations must be pinned on men. At that time, single unmarried women were rarely able to live by themselves. Even if they have treasure, they can't appear in public, and there is no way out.

This also explains why Du Shiniang, who is so rich, is so scared and cautious-she can be redeemed and leave the brothel, but this does not mean that she is a good person. She still hopes to find a lovely man who can live together, take herself out of the brothel, and use the gold and silver jewelry accumulated in eight years of blood and tears as a dowry, just to redeem the forgiveness of her future husband-in-law.

In addition, it can be traced back to Du Shiniang's personal character-a man with high heart and lofty aspirations.

She rejected Wang Sun's son and the extravagant man who can pay 22,000 silver in Zuichunyuan, just because she has a high standard of being kind-feelings are far more valuable than gold and silver wealth, and sincerity is above everything else. This is what makes her different.

This pursuit made Du Shiniang's character soft and firm, infatuated and determined, which paved the way for his later choice.

Because of this character, she endured so many years of humiliation and forced a smile, and finally she didn't expect the pain to be so heavy. If you are not completely desperate, how can you be angry with the treasure chest? Because she was disappointed in love, even in the sincerity between people-desperate, she jumped away.

Du Shiniang took great pains to get the truth. In the first half of the movie, we saw such a scene: Li Jia, who couldn't even buy three hundred and twenty pieces of silver, ran around pitifully to collect money. Madame doesn't like angel lee's poverty and puts on a cold face. In the face of the fight of her beloved, she was ashamed and annoyed. Du Shiniang obviously has money, but he has been almost silent. Her heart is very measured, but her face is not obvious. No matter how stormy the heart is, the appearance is only a sincere worship of the white-browed god, and always maintains a calm face.

Why are you doing this?

Du Shiniang's answer to his best friend is: Now is not the time to take out money.

In other words: being in an awkward position can test Li Jia's true feelings for me.

Until the last moment, Du Shiniang suddenly made a deal and paid half the money to redeem her. She is careful and attentive. Such a timid woman was deeply moved by Liu Yuchun, a friend of angel lee. He paid Li Jia the remaining 150 taels, and told Li Jia in particular: I helped you not for you, but for Du Shiniang. I sympathize with her. I hope you won't.

Supplement: At the last minute, for the three hundred and twenty pieces of silver, I couldn't let go of the scene of Du Shiniang regaining his freedom. Teacher Jin's "Lady" is really good and has excellent skills.

In fact, Du Shiniang was too optimistic. Although he finally left the brothel, he thought he was free from now on. In fact, at the beginning of the plot, the song "Bird Cage is not a bird's home" has already revealed the truth about the current situation of prostitutes. The episode that Zhu Fengbo sang was simply the sound of nature, and I liked it after listening to it again. But in which era, and which woman is really free?

On the night when Du Shiniang and angel lee got married, she let out a deep cry: "You are my husband in Wei Du."

Too emotional. My life's hard work and ambition are pinned on a man, begging her husband's family to take him in and give him a name. Since then, I have fulfilled my long-cherished wish of serving my in-laws, husbands and children. Du Shiniang's simple wish makes people cry.

Finally, let me talk about angel lee.

Li Jia, the son of an official family, is a standard scholar and a modest gentleman. Because of the frivolous performance of selling Du Shiniang in the later period, he was called love rat and heartbreaker. Actually, it's a little unfair. As a famous flower base, Du Shiniang has been attracted by many princes and grandchildren, but he chose the Li family only for his faithfulness, gentleness, sincerity and gentleness.

Although we can see the weakness and vanity of angel lee in the details, if angel lee doesn't have the above advantages, she won't be the man Du Shiniang loves, the hope of her life, and the sustenance that can give her a reliable and truly stable home. This is obvious.

Perhaps because of the later sinking of the river, Du Shiniang's sarcastic and sharp smile impressed the audience the most. However, in the first half of the film, Du Shiniang, a rich social butterfly, showed gentle words and endless love in front of angel lee, which not only showed that Pan Hong's acting skills were really good, but also proved that Du Shiniang and angel lee were really happy.

The warm interpretation in front of the film for such a long time paved the way for the ending of the story.

Sun Fu, a giant businessman in Jianghuai, is insidious and cunning. I once admired Du Shiniang in Beijing, but I was turned away. I met Li Jia and Shi Niang at the ferry, and I was drooling over Shi Niang's beauty. I used Li Jia's selfish and stubborn weakness to encourage him to sell Shi Niang to myself as a concubine.

Li Jia was tempted by Sun Fu, sweating profusely and having a good showdown with Du Shiniang.

Sun Fu is definitely a wicked man, but Sun Fu's words are right:

Under the feudal patriarchal clan system, it is really impossible for a big family like the Li family to accommodate a woman like Teacher Niang (Du Shiniang's proposal to stay in Suzhou is basically fruitless for integrating into the Li family).

Therefore, we can't simply judge that angel lee is love rat and a heartbreaker. We can say calmly that he is just an ordinary person and is sincere to Du Shiniang, but his background and realistic conditions determine that angel lee, as a prostitute, has only such feelings for Du Shiniang.

Du Shiniang was sold by angel lee. However, this is not his real intention, but his forgiveness. Now maybe 95% of modern people sell Du Shiniang faster than Li Jia!

I always have a preset. Angel lee took Du Shiniang on her way home, and received a letter from her family, telling Du Shiniang about her troubles. Du Shiniang should show her some treasures, or reveal the details of her wealth, which is very helpful to stabilize angel lee's wavering mentality and is also good for her own future-otherwise the ending may not be like this.

Why not do this? If the Li family borrowed three hundred and twenty pieces of silver in the early stage, Du Shiniang was good at calculation and didn't show all the details of wealth. Because he couldn't afford to lose, he was very cautious in betting, and it was also very difficult. A little carelessness means losing the game. Now I'm married to angel lee. Although angel lee has always denied it, husband and wife should always be honest. Du Shiniang must insist on formal acceptance by her in-laws-is this necessary?

She just wants to be alone. In fact, this requirement is very high, which conflicts with its times and humanity. Love that cannot escape from the palm of interest is not unique to society at that time, but a social tragedy. I hope that the environment can have a chance to treat a geisha well, and it is impossible to travel through any era.

In the choice between worldly happiness and truth, she chose truth. Pursuing the truth is a road of no return, and most of them end in tragedy.

Knowing that he was betrayed by Li Jia, Du Shiniang laughed in panic and gradually resented her eyes. The temperament of the whole person began to develop in the direction of arrogant, disdainful and powerful women-I really felt sorry for Du Shiniang's conversation with Li Jia on the boat that night-but it didn't help.

In the last 30 minutes of the film, Pan Hong's acting was bursting and his mood reached its climax. When Teacher Niang threw jewelry angrily, I was really numb. -So lifelike: Du Shiniang's beautiful infatuation, strong resentment and despair are all vividly interpreted.

Compared with the Hong Kong version of Du Shiniang, this film is really good, especially Pan Hong's grasp of emotion-although there are some shortcomings in the style and characterization of the stage play, the shortcomings are not concealed.

The film deeply depicts the character Du Shiniang-especially his yearning for freedom and heartfelt excitement and ecstasy. Looking back on 198 1 year, it was a time of great ideological emancipation. This desire for freedom also reflects people's mood in reality, which is what everyone yearns for, so movies are very popular.

Probably her best movie.
