A few days ago, Cao Baoping's new film "Wading Through the Sea of Anger" was released for just half a month, breaking 500 million, and it really became his highest-grossing film at the box office, and it is also the highest-grossing box office for the current Chinese New Year. When the movie first came out, Uncle Meat wrote one. That article is mainly talking about perception, and does not mention a point that later became a controversy in the movie: the use of two-dimensional, which caused dissatisfaction among cos and two-dimensional lovers. The "sense of separation" mentioned by reader @黑菜, I deeply think so. "I went to see it yesterday, and I liked this kind of movie that uses naked violent conflicts to dissect social pain points. But looking at a lot of ACG on station B, they are resisting and criticizing that the director is targeting cosers and ACG, and labeling them. emmm is difficult to evaluate, in the current network environment I don't dare to speak, I just want to say that the use of two-dimensional elements and other elements is not to highlight the sense of separation between the two generations, so as to further amplify the contradictions and estrangement between parents and children?Or is it just my self-righteous understanding that the director is really deliberately targeting?”
But another comment in the comment area also attracted Uncle Meat's attention and worries. It should be a parent. After watching the movie, I said something excessive, I would tell my daughter that I can't talk to a coser in the future
No one will criticize a parent for being "excessive", after all, no one can influence the audience's perception, but it is undeniable that the movie has indeed caused some people's prejudice against cosers and two-dimensional lovers.
What does the offense of "Angry Sea" come from to the second dimension lovers, and what do they think of the movie?Today's article, from my former colleague, a two-dimensional enthusiast @Pig Song Riding Thunder Hammer, calmly wrote four thousand words, trying to make one thing clear to everyone:
Why he can't accept the "mistakes" of Cao Baoping and "Angry Sea", whether intentional or not.
I'm the lad out of the exclusive dividing line.
Director Cao Baoping's previous works give me the impression that there is always room for improvement.
Li Mi's Conjecture" trembled Wang Baoqiang, who held the driver hostage, and in the end, he didn't let us know whether the restaurant foreman Zhou Xun casually recited was his sweetheart who had been thinking about it for a long time.
The robber who killed the whole family of robbers, but was willing to sacrifice everything for an abandoned baby, and it was difficult to distinguish between divine good and animal evil.
"Dog Thirteen", which also focuses on the relationship between father and daughter with "Wading in the Sea of Anger", frequently suppresses his daughter's father with authority, and reveals a sad and apologetic B side at the end of the film. A mouthful of "I'm not a good father" contributed to the daughter's final compromise and reconciliation with this dog 13 world.
And when it came to "Wading through the Sea of Wrath", all I saw was "".Pull full
*In this film, you will face a group of crazy women with beautiful and abnormal mental states, including but not limited to:
Pulling out grandma's breathing tube, paralyzing my sister & being hospitalized, cooking other people's pet turtles, pulling out your own teeth as a show of love, throwing objects in the air as romance, setting fire to friends, shotgun police, and Li Miaomiao, a young man who insisted on participating in the comic exhibition before fleeing abroad.
really pulls out other people's teeth as a show of love (and is very moved), throws other people's high-altitude objects as romance (is still very moving), the partner is a little cold and wants to scream and go crazy, the ex-boyfriend's earrings are sandwiched with blood when they break up, and Jin Lina, the loveless little sister who can't make a sentence with "love" but kills herself in order to prove her love for Li Miaomiao.
Guardians who do everything for their children and even dare to break the law. In the words of netizens:
One hundred and six look at a bunch of fugitive patients from Anding Hospital
Extreme, is my first feeling about "Wading through the Sea of Wrath".
This is not only reflected in the high typology of the character setting and the greedy exploitation of the actors' emotional expressions. It is also reflected in the dramatization of the whole film to the climax of the incomprehensible: the tornado brings the "fish rain". By mistake, Lao Jin, Li Miaomiao and Jing Lan collided.
Heaven is destined to let Lao Jin catch Li Miaomiao, whom he has been searching for day and night, and hates him so much. Jing Lan, who was trapped in the car, could only watch her unconscious son Ren Lao Jin slaughter, crying and banging on the car door.
Let all the big fish fall I recognize the "extreme" that this movie has done in the above.
Only. The film's extreme exploitation of the two-dimensional cosplay (role-playing) elements, and the extremely stigmatizing presentation of the two-dimensional culture lovers are not so much extreme, I can't agree with one thing. A considerable number of two-dimensional "rats", including me, have varying degrees of offense and discomfort during the viewing process. The two-dimensional concentration of the whole film is quite not low.
The location of the entire storyline of Jin Lina and Li Miaomiao is Japan.
The two first met and got acquainted at a maid café where Nana worked.
Lee Miao-miao sent a message to her friends, thinking that she could let the cute girl who played the maid in front of her join their cosplay group and play the anime "Grim Reaper".Orihime Inoue"A corner.
Why Orihime Inoue?
Li Miaomiao has always loved only another character in cos "Grim Reaper":
Ulquiora Sifa.
Ulquiorra is a popular villain in Bleach Blaper. The name allusion comes from a sunken large Spanish **, which means "weeping man", so the author painted two green tear stains on his face. In reality, however, Ulquiorla does not cry because he has no heart. This can also be seen from the hollow in his chest.
As a non-human "void", at first, Ulquiorra had no feelings, no so-called "heart", and even thought that it was a very ridiculous low-level thing for humans who would drag their feet in battle. It wasn't until he confronted the other protagonists, including Orihime Inoue, and watched them become stronger again and again in order to protect their beloved, unleashing a powerful force that he had never seen before, that he wavered. During the period of house arrest, the interaction and communication between the two parties gradually made him understand what human "love" is. However, the moment of comprehending the existence of the "heart" is also the end of his life. After being defeated, Ulquiora reached out to Orihime Inoue in front of her.
He longed for the "heart" she had. But before Inoue could touch him, he turned into dust and dissipated.
The two characters belong to opposing camps and have limited intersections, but some readers who are good at brain supplementation still picked up the sporadic sugar dregs and made up a pair of evil cp:Ulquiora x Orihime Inoue.
Corresponding to the movie, Li Miaomiao, who has no concept of good and evil and wantonly hurts others, and the "unintentional" Ulquiora seem to be compatible on the surface
After all, the essence of cosplay is an emotional projection, and the image of the character being played is entrusted with the actor's own beautiful ideals and visions.
But, in contrast to Ulquiola,Li Miaomiao has not had a trace of repentance and transformation, let alone any attempt to understand "love". He has never really giving, only endless grabbing, manipulating and hurting others, and his relationship with Nana is more like objectified possession than love. At the end of the film, Li Miaomiao escaped from Lao Jin's angry sea and rowed back to land, and the evil boy's cruel smile immediately hung back on his face, glad that the world he regarded as a playground gave him another ticket. At the core, Li Miaomiao and Ulquiorla have nothing to do with each other. In the movie, there is no ink on why Li Miaomiao is so enthusiastic about "Death" and Ulquiora.
Jin Lina cos Inoue Orihime (the orange-haired one), and just to please Li Miaomiao.
In other words,In the sense of character building, cosplay is not irreplaceable
However, cosplay has become an indispensable part of the story. This hobby is really convenient and easy to use: because of Li Miaomiao's fanaticism for cos Ulquiola, he almost carries the mask of Ulquiorra with him, and he also has to play a role in participating in the comic con during the hunt by Lao Jin.
Therefore, every time Lao Jin loses clues and thinks that he is going to give up his efforts, the encounter with the cosers in fancy clothes allows this revenge drama to continue.
In a car accident in "Fish Rain", Lao Jin caught Li Miaomiao. Jing Lan forced Lao Jin to ask about the life and death of Lao Jin's son, and Lao Jin threw her Ulquiola's mask, and the self-evident meaning made Jing Lan collapse directly.
However, as a moment outside of the super good plot props, the movie obviously did not give the two-dimensional circle group due respect and equal treatment, but instead painted them with a layer of "underworld filter" through Lao Jin's perspective. This is what makes my brow furrow the most. It is undeniable that there is indeed chaos in the domestic animation circle and COS circle. However, the vast majority of this group is just ordinary people who gather because of common hobbies.
And what aspects did the movie choose to show this kind of people: the cosplay group led by Li Miaomiao can be described as a treasure trove of filth, and the male members are generally keen on violence, pornography, abuse, indulge in pleasure, and pursue sensual stimulation. Lao Jin pursued in China, and ran into several cosers who played the role of "Grim Reaper", and rushed straight into their houses to abuse and interrogate several innocent passers-by.
Several two-dimensional young people are plastered with anime posters in the room, wearing headphones and staring at the computer screen in front of them, which is the scene of the happy house of the fat house.
When Lao Jin was in a taxi on the way to the Comic Con, a few cosers suddenly appeared and stuck outside the car window, yelling at Lao Jin. As for the stage performance in fancy costumes in the comic exhibition, it is no different from dancing in front of the camera.
This group of characters who seem to be mentally ill, and the strange scenes will make ordinary viewers who don't know about the second dimension feel?"It's disgusting, demons and monsters. "After reading it with my mother, I don't think the way she looks at me is normal. ”
What I was thinking in the cinema was whether some parents would subconsciously establish such an equation after watching the movie:"Watching anime and playing cosplay = learning badly。"That's why I feel compelled to speak out. I don't think anyone wants their areas of interest to be placed in the context of mainstream culture for judgment only the ugly part that has been deliberately screened. No one wants to be labeled as strange just because of a hobby. In order to wade through the two-dimensional sea, the director explained during the roadshow:
Because the movie is from Lao Jin's perspective, it presents a misunderstanding and stereotype of the two-dimensional culture. This was followed by a gesture of goodwill
In fact, ACG culture carries the emotional projection of many young people, and is an interesting and vital cultural symbol. I also hope that parents can try to understand the culture and preferences of young people, including ACG, through this movie. ”
However, the power of images is far greater than the words of confession.
As a counterattack, the voices of the groups who feel offended are clearly weak.
And the most ironic thing about this is that almost all the people in the movie are coser. Every character in the play is actually cosplaying.
Lao Jin is obsessed with seeking revenge, not necessarily much for Nana. What he said was, "My old Kim's daughter let people get it." "Won't I just have a girl in my life?"This little bastard (Li Miaomiao), I ruined his hands in my life. When he saw his daughter's body, his first reaction was physiological vomiting. After vomiting, he hurriedly wiped the vomit with his coat, for fear of being seen.
His characterization of his daughter was, "That kid is honest." "I think Nana is a child who makes him worry. At first, Lao Jin must have been proud.
As a divorced fisherman, he raised Nana safely by himself, and he still has the ability for her to study in Japan. The role of father, he feels that he has played it quite successfully. But when we follow Nana's perspective, we find that the love that Lao Jin thinks is Nana's lifelong nightmare.
There is one detail. After returning to the hotel after seeing Nana's corpse, Lao Jin banged into the wardrobe as if he was enchanted, and his face was covered with blood. He muttered repeatedly: "That's your daughter, you have to hurt." It was like some kind of powerful hypnotic ritual, urging him to enter the play as soon as possible and enter the role of the father of the bereaved daughter.
Even Lao Jin's actor Huang Bo analyzed it like this:
Old Kim is not a daughter who loves him.
He wanted to be a father more, and that name might mean more to him than the actual emotion, and he could see and touch it a little more.
The cosplay of Li Miaomiao and Jin Lina is even more obvious.
They play the role they are expected to play in front of their respective parents. Li Miaomiao will instantly turn into an innocent baby in front of Jing Lan.
Jin Lina will play a good daughter who is honest and carefree, even if she never feels the love from her family.
Jing Lan, who is desperate to protect her son, will also take off the "mother" costume during the intermission.
Why did Li Miaomiao become such a ghost who does all kinds of evil?Jing Lan didn't care at all, and she didn't intend to intervene and correct it. Helping him clean up all the mess is all she feels she should do for her role.
These cosplayers have one thing in common.
There is no communication between them at all.
They never ask the co-starring counterpart, what do you need?What should I do?Just blindly stuffed what he felt was right, good, and undoubtedly into the other party's hand, and he felt that he had handed over a full score answer sheet. As everyone knows, one-way self-directing and self-acting may have caused irreparable damage to the other party. In "Angry Sea", it turns into seventeen stabs that Nana stabbed herself.
In reality, it turned into an oversized bucket of dirty water poured on two-dimensional enthusiasts. Communication-understanding is the only bridge to break through the barriers.
This applies not only to parent-child relationships, but also to relationships between mainstream cultures and subcultures.
As a relatively marginal and niche subculture, two-dimensional cosplay is naturally the aphasia in the face of the eighth art film with the ability to set the public agenda. There is only the share of picking up and dressing up. As one of the "Three Migrant Workers", "Grim Reaper" has laid a deep fan base in China during the early years, and it can barely make a weak opposition.
In the film, it is not only "Death" that is on the scene, but also the villain boss of the game "The Fifth Personality", Jack, who flashes by.
And the players of "The Fifth Personality", who are even more weak in the ** field, are only willing and can only turn their emotions into ridicule than question the motives, intentions and influence of the image of the movie. "Is our "Fifth Personality" so popular?Huang Bo was uninjured and pinned down Jack for 60 seconds. ”
On the premise that the balance is tilted, filmmakers in power can easily introduce subcultural elements by pretending to be unaware and putting their own creative needs first, without fully considering the impact and consequences. When a dispute arises, it flatters him to come up with a few words of clarification and unilaterally declare reconciliation. Then you can't blame the ** sea for repeatedly blowing tornadoes. In childhood, when Lao Jin went to sea, the lonely and frightened Nana would curl up in the closet and mural one sun after another in the interior to dispel the darkness and panic in her heart. "When I'm scared, I draw the sun, and when I paint, the sky will dawn, and if I'm lucky, Lao Jin will come back. ”
And the various subcultures, including the two-dimensional, are not the deep cabinets used by "Nana" to wrap their bodies and minds, seeking a sense of security or self-satisfaction. After Nana stabbed herself 17 times, she hid in the cabinet just like when she was a child.
The difference is that this time, she dialed Lao Jin's **. What did she want to say to Lao Jin?Old Kim and we will never know again.
However, the autopsy report revealed that she survived for quite some time after hiding in the cupboard.
The ultimate cause of death was excessive blood loss. Perhaps, what Nana and "Nana" need is just a back and forth conversation, an equal dialogue. Give each other a chance to really get to know each other, and then walk hand in hand in the real sunshine.
