Honest

 When I first read the film I decided to look at other people, . a foreign friend (the famous Charles of France. wearing loose) on the video camera and made a detailed analysis technology, and finally, some people even the end of the film involves the issues, compared with the Lu Xun up.
read those comments I would not dare to write anything. However, the noisy, run-down but a small town hit by the new culture, that was dressed in old suits and sweaters Jixin Ling the men again and again into my mind. And when I see those scenes, ears think of those songs, my heart always be a difficult emotional speech blockage, I therefore sad together. So I once again looks the film to. When my fifth time watching this movie fuzzy, I finally know what I have to say. I put aside those technical theory and symbolic significance, that the word can be summed up how I feel, that is The co. who stand side of the road waiting for the bus people, face emerging out of the expression of indifference; that wearing the old suit, the sleeves rolled up man; noisy streets and continue to promote policies of broadcasting; street pool table and The flick came the sound; Tuyangjiehe television and to the relatives of the song. these things through in my young days, they are so real, so real so I returned to a small town in reading, let me re-sit watching video parlors in the county of Hong Kong and Taiwan films. this real fascination with me, they are the collective memories of small town boy, so we will soon find their own shadow.
Xiao Wu said he was people, contains more metaphors, hints and symbols. Charles. wear loose and can not understand China's karaoke room with a 50 ok can spend some time with the lady. But for us, this is too easy to understand. did not hint, but the director is so familiar with our life, a scene he was a random selection screen, then the performance of our real life.
in the that far-fetched, do not have a plot being obtrusive. which the characters are so mean that we were in contact with reality. diverted to sell cigarettes after the opening dance, dressed in a television speech on Xiaoyong not that what those a member of it? slick dance boss and doing things that turn to turn on the style and prostitutes arena any different? and often Xiao Wu's appearance, always reminds me of when I walked in the street that Wushu He owned and Xiao Wu same hairstyle and look, he wore an old suit does not fit, roll up their sleeves, along the wall, oblique looked up, rickety pool tables or video halls to.
not only characters, the film's interpersonal relationships, to get along equally authentic. Xiao Wu Xiaoyong gifts to two people when the silence and embarrassment; Xiao Wu and Hu Meimei rivalry in the streets and their secret love; Xiao Wu's father to the small Wu and his brother out of one thousand to finance the home of poverty, protect the brother's marriage; also senior police and Xiao Wu who, like his older general tenderness Xiao Wu; there friend Xiao Wu Xiao Wu advice and help. these have never appeared in other Chinese films, but they are so real, so consistent that we see in real life, they always occur in every corner of society, they have taken root deep-rooted in social life, rooted in our social patterns and habits. Once put them onto the TV, we see the real you in the above performances, it can only be infected, never felt a vibration and experience. < br> real person familiar with the stories I am absorbed, immersed as I told the director of which reached a climax of the plot. This comes from the climax of the significance of the scene, but for a traditional Chinese man, this is a precious moment. We like the silence of repression, as Xiao Wu's life, only in those specific time, our depression will collapse, our hearts filled with pride , we have to live in humble, ordinary maintain the identity of the pride. happiness. Xiao Wu received such happiness, he took the club is dedicated to Hu Meimei fake flowers, to accept the Hu Meimei came near him as a rich man's request, holding up his glass to drink very heroic. In contrast the humble music who finally got the dignity of man.
and I was so familiar with such moments, the kind of heroic fantasy in every man dreams of filling the hearts, but in reality we have to humble life, suffered combat, silent and fragile. I have seen many a man in a drunken frenzy of indulgence, I have seen showing off their worth or not worth showing off their experience, talents, possessions, career, interpersonal. Xiao Wu, the betrayal by friends, in community ordinary people during the turbulent transition, the cracks in the small county to maintain the survival and dignity of the thief, and finally received at this time illusory self-esteem and satisfaction, access to the left hand beautiful country, get a real man's false pride He raised his glass to drink big mouth, his arms around his suave romantic woman, he has his brother hearty. he were released at this moment.
For our part, we finally moved in to shoot the director our reality. screen full of too much fame has a positive image of the peaceful scene too annoying. see a real self-satisfied, ordinary people can get temporary happiness, we can not but be moved to tears surplus orbital.
Jia Zhangke this is true, this is true, and he brought us moved, the not tall man with a real attitude to life, while learning the many theories, but he maintained a sincere attitudes toward life. After reading some of his interviews, I found his life's obsession. he honest, frank, physical memories of the screen gives us the familiar scene, and then let us cross these substances of the scene to see what he really wants to express formal existence, caught in the misery, social unrest unrest, as well as ordinary people touched by fantasy.
it is this attitude, so he can get the most realistic cross-section of life to all kinds of people in life, well aware of relationships in order to understand the existence of repression and indulgence. he can shoot, fresh, so close to life. This is honest, , does not belong to the background for good in the grand narrative of Chen Kaige. this honest nature, it is however only true living of Jia Zhangke.
