"Alive" is an old film that has won many awards, reflecting the great changes in China between the 1940s and the 1970s. Below is my review of "Alive" that I compiled for you. I hope it can help you!
Article 1: Thoughts after watching the movie "Alive"
After reading Yu Hua's novel "Alive" and then watching Zhang Yimou's movie version "Alive", I deeply felt that Zhang Yimou was sent by God. The angel who saved the cruel ending of the novel "Alive" spreads warmth and positive energy in the world. The novel is more cruel and heartbreaking than the movie. The end of the movie shows the family of Fugui and his grandson happily sitting together for a meal. The incense is preserved and the family relationship continues. This ending is warmer, full of warmth and gives people hope.
I talk about "gambling"
The first scene in the film is that the male protagonist Fugui is gambling with the shadow puppet master Long Er. In this bet, Fugui both lost and won. He lost because Fugui was a prodigal, lost all his family property, and switched identities with Long Er. The former eldest young master became embarrassed and miserable. His father was angry to death, and his pregnant wife also left him with her daughter. Fu Gui also left him with her daughter. Your world suddenly becomes dark. He also said that Fu Gui won because he and Long Er exchanged identities. During a special period, Long Er's exchange of identities made Long Er the person to be criticized. Long Er died instead, but Fu Gui saved his life. This "gamble" also has a very interesting plot in the film. Fugui's wife Jiazhen returned to Fugui with her newborn son, and the family was reunited. Fugui asked his wife if she had named him, and his wife joked that it was called "No Gambling" , Xu doesn’t gamble.” Fugui believed it, and said happily, “It’s better not to gamble, it’s better not to gamble. I’ve never gambled again, and I won’t gamble in the next life.” It can be seen that “gambling” is a good thing for Fugui. growing up. The third time "gamble" appeared was when Fugui asked Long Er to borrow money in a low voice. Long Er said, "I won't gamble anymore, so as not to be like you in the future." It can be seen that Long Er gave up when he saw something good, and he also learned from gambling. Harmful lessons. The last time "Gambling" appeared was when Fugui's daughter Fengxia was about to give birth to a child. He joked about naming his grandson "Bu Gamble". It can be seen that "Gambling" affected Fugui's life. Fugui really corrected his "Gambling" " and refused to "gamble".
I talk about "shadow puppets"
Shadow puppets can also be regarded as a main line in the movie. They accompany Fugui throughout his life and are his means of livelihood and his talisman. Fugui went to borrow money from Long Er, the leader of the shadow puppet class, and Long Er lent him a box of shadow puppets that he had used before. From then on, the shadow puppets and Fugui were inseparable and dependent on each other. At first, singing shadow puppetry was a job for Fugui to make a living. Then Fugui had no choice but to go to the turbulent battlefield to sing shadow puppets for the soldiers. Later, Fugui sang shadow puppets for the villagers in the village. In such turbulent and wandering days, Fugui saved the shadow puppets, and the shadow puppets also saved Fugui. In movies, shadow puppets bring laughter to people, inspire people, give people hope, soothe people's hearts, and are also a kind of spiritual sustenance.
I talk about "dignity"
Fugui was originally a young man who was born with good fortune, but he lost everything because of gambling, and his original arrogance naturally bowed his head to life. He bowed his head to Long Er, he bowed his head to life. He began to obey everything others said, what the policy required, and what was right. He did not resist anything. He just wanted to save his life and live a stable life. Things like dignity and face became Worthless, life is the most important thing.
I talk about "Chicken"
Chicken appears twice in the film. The first time he appeared was when Fugui said to his son Youqing on the way to school: "Look, our family is just a chicken now. When the chicken grows up, it turns into a goose. When the goose grows up, it turns into a goose." It becomes a sheep, and when the sheep grows up, it becomes a cow." Youqing asked: "What about the cow?" Fugui replied: "The cow will become communism." The second time it appeared was Fugui. Sunzi Mantou looked at the chicken in the shadow puppet box and asked: "What about after the cow?" Fugui's wife Jiazhen answered: "After the cow, Mantou will grow up." Mantou said: "I want to ride on the back of the cow. The phrase "I want to ride on the back of the bull" actually expresses the beautiful vision of people no longer being oppressed, and being able to control their own destiny and be the master of their own country. The chicken symbolizes hope. No matter how difficult life is, Fugui still responds with a positive and optimistic attitude, passing on hope from generation to generation. The shadow puppet box that originally contained shadow puppets ended up containing chickens, which also symbolized the passing of the old era and the arrival of the new era.
I talk about "father's love"
Fugui's love in the film is the same as all Chinese father's love, strict but loving, but always silent. Seeing the joy of his daughter and son is a kind of love. When he sees his mute daughter smiling at him, his eyes are full of distressed love; educating his son who has made mistakes in front of everyone and hoping that his son will learn a lesson is a kind of love; because It is a kind of love to spank his son by mistake and rub his buttocks; as an apology, he asked his son to watch him sing a shadow puppet show, and his son joked with him; it was a kind of love for him to chase and play with his son; he carried his sleepy son to school and told him repeatedly It is a kind of love for his son to soak the dumplings before eating them; he regrets in every possible way that he should not have let his son go to school, so that his son would not be hit and killed by a car. Such regret is a kind of love; he carefully chooses a partner for his daughter , caring about his daughter’s life-long events is a kind of love; when his daughter left on the day of her wedding, his eyes were filled with a kind of reluctant love; waiting anxiously when his daughter gave birth was a kind of love; he pushed his grandson on his bicycle and helped the chicks Looking for a place to live, the love for the grandson is also a kind of "fatherly love".
I talk about "living"
When Fugui's fate was completely turned over, his life was no longer as he wished, his family was ruined, he began to be displaced, he began to wander, he began to wander, he began to understand, and he began to make a living. , began to struggle, experienced life and death, witnessed the disappearance of life, lamented how difficult it is to live, how important it is, when survival becomes the most basic desire, every moment with relatives is happiness, I only hope that life Live peacefully, without being disturbed, as long as you live, everything will be fine. There is hope while alive!
Chapter 2: Thoughts after watching the movie "Alive"
"Alive" is a movie that tells a person's life.
Once upon a time, there was a young master (Ge You) named Xu Fugui, and his family was very rich. No matter what happened, his father fell in love with gambling. He also fell in love with gambling. His father gambled away the three courtyards of the Xu family, and only one of them was left. The remaining family of the Xu family was also lost by this young master.
This young master once promised his wife Jiazhen that if his wife was pregnant with another child, he would give up his gambling addiction. Now, his wife is really pregnant with another child, but he has not yet given up his gambling addiction. And he made a bet in front of his wife. When his wife looked at him, he told her to get out immediately.
His wife went home immediately, took her child Fengxia with her and packed her with her. After saying a few words in front of Fugui, he patted his butt and left.
Jia Zhen wandered outside for a long time. When she found a place to settle down, her son was already born.
Jiazhen has never had a job. Thanks to the kindness of the mayor, he gave her a job delivering water. But the job of delivering water is not easy, because there are many people asking for water in the morning, so Fengxia also helps her mother deliver water. Finally, Fugui found his home after wandering outside, and they were reunited. I think that although they are not rich now, their family will be the richest when they are reunited.
Fugui was bored at home all day because he had no work to do. Finally, Long Er gave him something to sing the shadow puppet show and asked him to sing the shadow puppet show. A terrible disaster was about to come. When Fugui and Chunsheng were singing shadow puppetry again that day, the Kuomintang troops suddenly came and took Fugui away from his hometown. I think that now that Fugui has no wife and children, he definitely doesn’t want to live anymore. However, he survived.
When Fugui returned home again, he met Fengxia. Feng Xiaguang smiled at him and said nothing. Finally, Fugui asked Jiazhen and found out that a high fever that lasted for seven days took away Fengxia's voice. Seeing this, I secretly shed tears in my heart. Who can bear such a painful thing? But Fugui persisted.
Then, Fugui’s youngest son died. After Fengxia got married, she gave birth to a child and died of heavy bleeding. Now, Fugui only has his wife, son-in-law and grandson, but he is very happy.
After watching the movie "Alive", I suddenly felt that there are many people in the world who live more miserable lives than us. We should be grateful to life for being alive now. No matter what, if you withstand the storm tonight, the sun will definitely rise tomorrow. In this movie, Fugui told his son and grandson the same sentence: "When chickens grow up, they become geese, when geese grow up, they become sheep, and when sheep grow up, they become cows." The days are getting better and better. Have a good day.
