What do you think of the essay "Platform"?

I remember when I was in primary school, if the school ordered a film with revolutionary educational significance.

Teachers usually assign us to write reviews, and the pain of racking our brains in class is still fresh in our memory.

Cut the crap and get to the point.

To tell the truth, the motivation for buying this disc is not because she won any grand prize abroad.

It's just that I came from that era, and people often recall the past when they are old.

So I want to see how others lived at that time.

The film gave me the feeling that the director got into the time machine and went back to the 1980s.

As an outsider, I silently relived the experiences of myself and my friends in those years and looked coldly at what happened at that time.

The camera is usually fixed in one position, and most of the time it is in the middle and distant view.

On the surface, it seems that the director will not comment on what happened.

But occasionally a shot or two shows the director's attachment to that mountain and that person.

And the helplessness and complicated feelings for the lost youth.

For example, Sanming refused to get on the tractor and insisted on taking the mountain road. The director watched him float away on the mountain road.

While several young people were running to watch the train, the director looked at them from a distance on the mountain.

The conversation between Cui and Yin Ruijuan on the wall and so on.

This is probably the most authentic and natural film I have ever seen in China.

Even more unpretentious than some documentaries.

However, I'm afraid the actor in this movie is just a prop in the director's story.

So we seldom see close-ups and close-ups of actors.

That I didn't know what the characters in the film looked like after watching half of it.

I like this film better than Sunny Days with a similar theme.

Because there is a quiet smell of too many stars in the sunshine.

Moreover, the sunshine gives people the feeling that the traces of artificial modification are too heavy.

The platform is more like a piece of uncut jade.

If you were born in the early 1960s, you should choose a quiet night.

Make a pot of fragrant tea and date your lost youth on this platform.

[repost] Lonely platform

Lonely platform

When I started to open my notepad, I created a new pale text. I began to feel depressed.

I started talking to myself in my mind because I couldn't find an accurate title.

It's like a feeling of depravity, like an arrogant and unruly person suddenly sinking. If you lose it, it will break at the touch.

Then I began to think about the fragments of the platform, the gray images left in my mind.

Like a lonely auditory hallucination, it outlines the time when I was born and raised.

So, my random thoughts began with loneliness. Then go line by line, word by word.

Many times, Liang Xiaowu and Cui always have a playful look on their faces.

There is a faint sadness in it. Just like life 20 years ago or 5 years ago, there is only one way for us.

Barely let his face stained with too much unruly. So youth is annihilated and ideals become empty.

On the ill-fated roulette wheel, go with the flow. So Jia used a sad way.

Telling the loneliness and despair of life

The film has many clips throughout the year.

There are old songs in memory, detailed broadcasts of a certain era, and faint voices of military drills.

These background symbols, from the beginning to the end of the film, always swim around behind the camera like fish.

So the story jumps in the switching of the clips, and I don't feel the embarrassment of being slow at all.

In the eyes of the audience, the symbols of those years are the excavation of forgotten years.

From romantic songs and trains to Shaoshan, to wine and coffee.

"Secret", "Genghis Khan", then "program", then "whether" ...

These techniques are deliberately used by Jia, and they are even more unscrupulous in the film.

Even the director himself may not be able to persuade himself to give up

These elements always touch the memory and soul.

This is a sensational way of dyeing cloth, but we still can't help but move ourselves.

As for the title of the film "Platform", this hint made me look for an unknown platform in the film from the beginning.

But it failed at the end of the movie

Just like when Cui performed The Train to Shaoshan, he had never seen a real train.

It can only be expressed by the imaginary impression and the cry of "meow".

Fuzzy, lack of exquisite truth. Until a group of them ran in the open space and looked at the passing trains.

This imaginary impression has finally come true.

However, what kind of future did the distant train leave on the track?

I only saw the call of youth on the screen, and then it became silence.

All this is written in the lives and faces of the protagonists.

Railways mean distance, future and hope. How far is it? How long is the future?

Life can have many ideals. Ai Jing in 1992 is singing an unknown ideal.

"Please hurry to 1997 before I can go to Hong Kong."

That era is fleeting. Ideal becomes perfect in time, or falls vertically until it is broken.

In my 1997, I began to move from a small town to another strange big city, and my ideal changed with the reality.

Or disappear or shift.

So, where is the platform? Not in the movie.

As you can see, this film is full of youthful clues of dreams.

But in the end, it will get old with time. Whether Cui and Yin Ruijuan, or Zhang Jun and.

Finally, I was exhausted in the helplessness of fate.

Four characters are four chess pieces, dragged to despair by time in mediocrity, and their ideals finally failed.

I have to mention these two pictures, which makes me sad.

There is nothing to comfort the soul-Yin Ruijuan dances alone in the empty hut.

Cui's cousin Sanming took out the crumpled 5 yuan money and asked Cui to give it to his sister.

If she is admitted to the university, tell her not to come back.

Life is fragile, and the weak people are always looking for their own way out.

As if in a circle imprisoned by time, people are dying in infirmity.

Such an outcome cannot be controlled and changed. Depressed, full of sadness

Sanming is a weak pawn in fate, growing old in mediocrity.

Jia's behavior is actually unexpected.

For example, the seemingly ordinary mid-range lens is a way that is constantly used in movies.

Let those who are already weak appear even smaller under the lens away from the camera.

Like dust, it is blown away from life by the wind at any time. Extremely at a loss, extremely confused

However, it is full of documentary elements and gentle realism.

It also makes people feel that this is not a movie, but a scene in our hands. There is a sour familiarity.

From the restlessness of youth to the despair of life, the expectation of the desire described in the film

Years beyond 10 can also be a reference to life helplessness in this brand-new era.

Then, with the end of the platform, we saw the beginning of Xiaowu.

This is a cycle, about young impetuousness, about the end of ideals.

I just can't listen to it. My heart is waiting, waiting forever.

Where the hell is the platform?

Waiting is lonely in the end.
