In "Goodbye, Li Kele", the mother tells her daughter that bravery is to move forward with pain, accept the impermanence of life and accept the past that cannot be changed. To be brave is not to look back.
Although the film has a mediocre cast and no big-name stars, it can arouse great resonance and energy. Shortly after the release of "Goodbye, Li Kele", the box office exceeded 14 million, and the film was a success with the story itself, which was better than other crime-themed films, and completely achieved a word-of-mouth blowout.
After watching the whole film, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was just an ordinary family story, a story about motherly love and the relationship between a man and a dog. But I didn't expect that "Goodbye, Li Kele" is actually a big drama about life.
Choice: The first point of the movie is the choice made by Lee Yeon's mother. On the day his daughter became an adult, Li Boyu took her daughter to ski, and while they were still laughing, he was suddenly killed, and the family of three became alone. Faced with the cost of college entrance exams and huge medical bills, Lee Yeon's mother decided to unplug her husband's ventilator and let him rest in peace. This kind of decision is not common in ordinary movies and TV dramas, and it is common to see people trying to save their loved ones who have lost consciousness. But in real life, even if the family smashes the pot and sells iron, it may not be able to fill this bottomless pit. This act is real and shocking.
What does death mean to the living?Lee Yeon is confused and angry at her mother's decision, and even thinks that her mother is the one who killed her father. She didn't understand, and it was hard for her to accept her father's departure. However, the mother did not become depressed. Originally a teacher, she also opened a small shop at home, but in order to provide for her daughter's college education, she quit her job and devoted herself to supporting the family's finances. For Li Yan, who is still young, life seems to have become very difficult all of a sudden. But her mother told her many times that she was still young and could not always dwell on the past and look up to the future life. When Li Yan raised a dog, the gap in life seemed to reveal the dawn. And when Li Kele was dying, Li Yan was no longer as naïve and confused as before in the face of the loss of life. At the last moment of Li Kele's life, Li Yan held her mother's hand and signed it. What does the passing of life mean for the living?If we can't change the loss of our loved ones, we should live our lives with thoughts, say goodbye strongly, and move on.
Tan Songyun's acting skills are impressive. She is able to show the emotions of the character in front of the audience realistically, her various expressions are very appropriate, and from her eyes, we can see the innocent fantasy of the girl. Her mood swings are also shocking, and when she cries, the emotion and relief that flashes in her eyes are heartwarming. In addition, Tan Songyun's expression in front of the camera changes freely, and her facial features are also very good.
Yan Ni's acting skills are even more impeccable. Pan Yanqiu's fate was very tragic, and after her husband died, she made a decision that her daughter could not understand. And her small body was under too much pressure, and her pain had no one to complain about, so she could only silently write it down in a no-man's corner and tell her deceased husband. Every time Yan Ni broke out, I admired her acting skills. Even in the midst of the argument, we can clearly see her love for her daughter in her eyes. Yan Ni can deduce a strong side, and her acting skills are touching.
To sum up, "Goodbye, Li Kele" shows the family relationship very realistically. Wu Jing, as a supporting role in the film, did not add any special scenes, but the tacit cooperation with Yan Ni and Tan Songyun made the whole family feel more real. Female viewers are likely to resonate more. The relationship between mother and daughter is not suddenly reconciled in the film, but is intertwined by love and foreshadowed. Tan Songyun's acting skills are indeed **, and her choice of taking on the scene is also very good.
All in all, life is always full of goodbyes. Say goodbye to the placenta, goodbye to childhood, goodbye to classmates, teachers, parents, and finally the world. "Goodbye, Coke Lee" was much better than I expected. Although this is only a small-budget movie, the director handled the warm plot very accurately, and the advancement of the plot made people cry uncontrollably, and at the same time they could feel the power of **. The film captures the meaning of life and death, depicting the emotions between father and daughter, mother and daughter, and people and pets, and the less than two-hour film contains so many elements that it is no wonder that the audience will collectively break the defense. I hope that the audience can bravely face the pain of the past after watching the movie, do not look back, and move forward.
