Hello everyone, I am a young man who loves to watch movies, and the movie I brought to you today is called "One Second", to my surprise, this is a very "simple" movie, and the main line focuses on Zhang Jiusheng (played by Zhang Yi) and Liu Girl's daughter (played by Liu Haocun). Zhang Jiusheng chose to flee in order to see the moment of his dead daughter, while Liu's daughter was forced to steal film to make a lampshade. A simple three-day, two-night storyline, simple character encounters. For Zhang Yimou, whose style is constantly "changing" but always pursuing a certain "epic temperament", this film may be the simplest and most obvious work in his career. The simple and continuous sand mountain in the film carries a complex and sophisticated design under the surface, and the heavy memory of the times cannot be spoken, and only the "silent words" can be felt.
Endless golden sand dunes, the sand was blown up by the wind, the sun was shining, and suddenly a figure appeared ......This is where the story begins. In the process of **, I kept popping up a lot of questions in my heart: Why did he run all the way out of the ** camp just to watch a screening?How did he get into the ** camp?Why do you have to go to the film to see your daughter?Can't I see my daughter after the divorce?These questions are strung together and seem to point to an answer: the daughter is gone, and the movie is the only place where she can be seen. Without this premise, the character's near-paranoid behavior lacks motivation. Without this motivation, it's like sand, and momentary thoughts will disperse. For reasons that you and I both know, many stories, many truths, are hidden, covered up, and can only be glimpsed, imagined, and filled.
There are only three roles in the movie, Zhang Yi, who has never been called by name from beginning to end, Liu Haocun, who is called Liu's daughter because she is the daughter of the Liu family, and Fan Wei, who is called Fan Movie because of the movie, in other words, in fact, the name is not important, they are just a symbol of this era. The character of Fan is portrayed in the simplest, but simplicity does not hide depth, and we are beginning to know that he is loved, but at the same time, he is also holding chicken feathers as an arrow. His three sentences are inseparable from stepping on the Yang River, and the fox and fake tiger power are vividly embodied. But at the same time, he is also very capable, only he can operate the big cycle, he really led everyone to quickly restore the movie, and he also thought of a way, first called Zhang Yi away, and then found the Ministry of Security. Fan Movie is really capable, but it is also full of down-to-earth triviality, and the image of this person becomes very close in an instant, perfectly portraying that era, a person with brains, warmth and ability.
But for the portrayal of Zhang Yi and Liu's daughter, the whole film is a feeling of peeling off the cocoon, unfolding little by little. The plot concept of the first fifteen minutes is very high, we don't know who Zhang Yi is, we only know that he walked through a desert and went to steal other people's plates like a thief, but when he saw others stealing film, he began to follow them inexplicably again, we don't know why he did it, and we don't know where he came from. Even on the other side of the desert, in the same way, Miss Liu's daughter also brought us this feeling, that is, a tomboy, stubborn and stubborn, stealing chickens and dogs, stealing things, even if she stole an old movie. And in the car, she was full of little wit, and took back the film with her backhand.
These concepts together, as well as the desert, the countryside, and the snatching of a box of films, all bring us to an unknown situation, as the story gradually unfolds, we know what a strong and helpless sister Liu is, Zhang Yi is indeed a ** criminal in the movie, but he also has his own helpless difficulties, the context of the whole story is slowly becoming clearer, and it is becoming more and more attractive to me. The three protagonists and the main story line portrayed in this way are really very successful, and for a long time, no domestic film can portray the three three-dimensional, full, and that kind of difficulty so profoundly, they are not good people, nor bad people, or even a "what kind of person", but a real figure under a grand background narrative.
Later in the film, why did Zhang Jiusheng laugh instead of finding his daughter's film in the end?Because her daughter has passed away, but her daughter, who has a new emotional bond, has unexpectedly obtained it, looking for it, her daughter is by her side, Zhang Jiusheng and Liu's daughter found inner comfort through the movie and found the courage to continue living.
