The Spring Festival file has always been the most fierce battlefield of major films, because the storyline, participating lineup, special effects and so on are all reasons for the audience to choose.
When I was still thinking about which movie to watch, "Let's Shake the Sun Together", which was the first to be released for the Spring Festival, attracted my attention. As the final chapter of director Han Yan's "Life Trilogy", the play "Let's Shake the Sun Together" continues the little red flower model and maintains the consistent level of pure love, but it has given me many unexpected surprises.
The film tells a story related to severe illness in a light-hearted way, accurately jamming the maximum amount of suffering that can be accepted on the screen, focusing on two ordinary young people in the world. But after reading it, you will find that "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is not an imaginary narrative of suffering about illness, but a vigorous vitality that seems to be drilling through the surface of the earth and growing towards the sun.
The director did not choose to sensationalize in a lazy way, but naturally lyrical through the story itself, when that kind of moving emotion silently wraps you, it is enough to make people fall into a deep depression.
The performance of Peng Yuchang (as Lu Tu) and Li Gengxi (as Ling Min) can be described as quite eye-catching, the two people vividly and naturally depict the image of being seriously ill, but this depiction is not stereotyped, but three-dimensional and multi-dimensional, and there is a kind of plain and sincere good.
Peng Yuchang waited for a character who was a little childish, but had a somewhat melancholy background, which was very similar to his characteristics. In the movie, he is a little nervous, a strange chicken, and has a "connection" with aliens, and he looks very stupid, but in fact, he is just pretending to be stupid to avoid the real harm of life. The character is not very "normal", but it is actually a warm man's dedication personality, which breaks my previous impression of Peng Yuchang's "dumbfounded", and also makes people believe that he is the optimistic, positive and kind Lu Tu in this movie, no matter how bad the current situation is, he can spend it happily.
Li Gengxi, who has already brushed his face last year, has grown up again in "Let's Shake the Sun Together", without makeup, true feelings, life, and completely immersed in the film, and will naturally switch between different character states of complaining, unwillingness, tenacity, distress, and uremia. shouted a scene given by Ollie, and each shout was sonorous from a weak crescendo, and tears exploded directly. Her tears burst out of her eyes, without a trace of embellishment and hesitation, nothing was more touching than the expression of true feelings.
Moreover, in order to present and restore the haggard and withered state of uremia patients and brain tumor patients in the film, Peng Yuchang (as Lu Tu) and Li Gengxi (as Ling Min) can be said to have a complete facelift, and it is estimated that their own mothers will not be recognized when they come.
In the interview, Li Gengxi himself also revealed that his appearance is close to that of real seriously ill patients, and at first glance he is the kind of person who has been on dialysis all year round, ** is dull, and his complexion is different from his health state in all aspects, and Peng Yuchang is the first time to shave into a handsome "braised egg".
Of course, to have such a degree of restoration, it is inseparable from a detail maniac like Director Han Yan. It is understood that after a year of precipitation and preparation before filming, the director went to the hospital to understand patients, visited expert doctors, had in-depth exchanges with patients and their families, collected a large amount of relevant information on the Internet, and used restrained and delicate brushstrokes to truly present the daily life and survival situation of seriously ill patients. It is such a stubborn detail that paves the way for the two actors to reveal their true feelings.
In the bits and pieces of the two getting along, whether it is Lu Tu's meticulous care of Ling Min, or the daily life of a laughing couple, they are full of rich and full life details, showing the love between ordinary people. Every detail reveals the love for life and respect for life, making people feel the beauty and warmth of life.
As long as the mind does not fall, the sun will be shaken sooner or later. "The director has a surreal romantic vision to unlock the mourning of life. Tell you to live well, life will be "another bottle", I cried and laughed during the whole movie, Director Han Yan is familiar with the control of emotions, and all the touches are tangible and intangible in the afterglow of the story itself, and it is always delicate and natural.
The end of the film makes me feel full of power, as if I have been beaten with chicken blood. In this life, people will always encounter such and such difficulties, just like Ling Min and Lu Tu also have many moments when they want to give up, but they still have to get through and have expectations.
