One river flows eastward, which is one of the three domestic movies I once wanted to see most. The other two songs are Spring in a Small Town and Red Flag Spectrum. Only the red flag spectrum is not seen now. The first impression of this film is only Shang Guanyunzhu's classic line: "She is your wife in the war of resistance against Japan, so ... then I will be your secret wife." My brother's comments on movies are sometimes incisive. For example, he said that The Bridges of Madison County is an American version of Spring in a Small Town, which is very accurate. But when he said that "A River Flows East" was nothing more than an old story of "an infatuated woman with a broken heart", I really couldn't believe it, although the line I remembered seemed to confirm this point. I finally couldn't resist the temptation that day. I bought a genuine copy in the book building and finally put it in the disk drive yesterday. Among the three heroines in this film, Bai Yang is the protagonist written in the first row, and Xiu Wenshu is a guest actor, just a supporting role. And every time I talk about this movie, my brother-in-law always says that Poplar's performance is "stupid". I didn't understand why until last night. It depends on who she is competing with. To tell the truth, I didn't think she was really relaxed until the last time she threw herself into the river. Before that, I always saw her big eyes staring at Zhao Dan at the crossroads. Of these three people, Xiu Wenshu is the least attractive, and Shang Guanyunzhu has the least scenes, but it attracts my attention. Let's talk about movies. Su Fen is a female yarn factory worker in Shanghai. This identity reminds me of my grandmother who I have never met before. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the family began to leave the chaotic eight years. Element fragrance and mother-in-law returned to the countryside with antibiotics. Grandparents also left Shanghai at that time and fled to rural Hubei. When I was a child, I only heard my grandfather say that Jianxia Gorge and Niuganmafei Gorge were both considered as one of the Three Gorges. Later, I learned that they were fleeing, and even the Yangtze River was bombed by Japanese planes. On the other hand, Zhang Zhongliang came to Chongqing through hardships. Grandparents also followed the school, all the way from Beijing to Wuhan, Kunming, Chengdu, Xikang and Chongqing. In the movie, Pang called Zhang Zhongliang "Xiajiang people", which was a general term for those who fled to Chongqing at that time. Seeing this, I finally understand why this movie set a box office record, because it is a portrayal of the real life of China people in those eight years. When watching movies, I can't help but imagine the stories of my elders. I suddenly have an impulse to record those experiences while they still remember, so that they won't be lost. So the film became more and more real, as if it had been experienced. Life itself is generally more tortuous and bizarre than a fabricated story. Speaking of this, I remembered that I had just heard about an old cadre who escaped from the landlord's house to take part in the revolution. His original name was "Juexin", and I think his story must be as good as Family Spring and Autumn Annals. This is beside the point. Back to the movie, it seems inevitable that Zhang Zhongliang's environment will change in Chongqing, but I always feel that this movie is a bit conceptual, such as the one about haircut. However, almost all the film's creators went to Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War and returned to Shanghai after the Anti-Japanese War, so their life as the capital and the faces of the big shots they got later were probably witnessed by themselves. I always feel that I am a gigolo in Tao Jin's image, so the second half feels closer to the role than the previous one, the once miserable and then happy fallen Zhang Zhongliang. In the past, element fragrance was the spiritual pillar of his survival, but now it is no longer needed. In fact, he really wanted to read Lao Gong's letter, but he was afraid that IDA wong would tear it up in a hurry and throw it into the river. From then on, he may never think about it again, and the only contact with his family has been interrupted. He won't look back. Contrary to Zhang Zhongliang, his younger brother Zhang Zhongmin was forced to fight guerrilla warfare in Liangshan. Perhaps the life of guerrillas is the most unfamiliar to film creators, and the film was shot in 1947, so it is too simplistic. In fact, this film about the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, written by a family's joys and sorrows, is also a classic shot before liberation, that is, Sun Daolin's screen debut "Happy Reunion", which is adapted from Huang Zongjiang's drama, and can be seen correspondingly with "A River Flows East". That is the story of a big family in Beijing. My son who came back from Chongqing after the Anti-Japanese War was decadent. Sun Daolin's younger brother joined the national air force and became a pro-American faction with fluent English. The last daughter went to the Xishan guerrillas and joined the * * * production party. It seems that comparing guerrillas to Chongqing's rear area was a consistent technique in movies at that time, and it was all in the Kuomintang-controlled area before liberation. Is that weird? A little bit. I think "A River Flows East" tells the story of an old-fashioned "infatuated woman with a broken heart" in China, which is about a very representative family at that time. But endings like Pipa or Qin Xianglian are always happy or at least punish evil and promote good. This time, however, it ended with element fragrance throwing herself into the river-the river that once represented the yearning of husband and wife, and the desperate grief of Wu Yin, the first lady of China. This seems unconventional, but Su Fen's last suicide note was written on the back of Zhang Zhongmin and Wan Hua's letter. Perhaps this is the answer given by the screenwriter. I also think of the criticism of Cai Chusheng in Ruan. He felt that his later films were not good, and even felt that there was something wrong with this person after he left. I checked, Cai Chusheng didn't start to be a leader until after liberation, and his main work is only the South China Sea Tide. I'm afraid that "A River Flows East" led Guan to make such an evaluation to a great extent. But if he knew that this was actually real life, would he still think so? It's sultry in Beijing and I don't know what to say. References:
/subject/1389915/Cloud and Moon (black and white). Produced by Kunlun Film Company 1947. Jiang, a female student, lives in Jiangxi, studies in Shanghai and lives with her aunt. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, regardless of her aunt and cousin Zhou's obstruction, she resolutely joined the drama team to save the nation and publicize the war of resistance along Beijing and Shanghai. Soon, she fell in love with Gao Libin, a young musician on the same team. With the development of the war, the crew made a long journey and finally arrived in Chongqing. At this time, Zhou came to Chongqing to do speculative business in the name of official business, and entangled with money as bait and was rejected. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yu Ling married Bing Lin. At this time, Zhou transformed himself into a "receptionist" and visited before returning to Shanghai. He wanted to take her with him and left angrily when he learned that Yu Ling was married. Yu Ling and Li Bin were demobilized and returned to Shanghai. They have no place to live, so they have to stay at their aunt's house. Zhou made a fortune by "taking over", but the couple were penniless. Thanks to the support of their old friend Xia Guangyuan, they rented an attic to live in. Li Bin is a primary school teacher and Yu Ling is a newspaper reporter. Soon, Bing Lin got lung disease, and Yu Ling got sick after she got pregnant. When Zhou saw that the couple were having a hard time, he came to seduce them, but the latter was unmoved. One night, it was raining cats and dogs, and I came home from the newspaper office, ready to write a manuscript to expose Zhou's crime of "grabbing a bumper harvest", and fainted in the street because of exhaustion. Li Bin and the actors went out to look for it. After learning that Yu Ling was taken to the hospital, they rushed to the hospital to visit. Yu Ling is a premature baby with weak body. Doctors suggest that she needs long-term rest, and the baby less than one month needs nutrition more. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
