The story of a critically ill patient, can "Let's Shake the Sun Together" touch the hearts of the audience?
On the second day of the opening of this year's Spring Festival war, in front of a number of popular new films and familiar lineups, some new faces attracted special attention, but they also made the audience stay cautious and wait-and-see.
took a look at the box office, and the current bottom is the movie "Let's Shake the Sun Together".
This is not difficult to understand, after all, looking at the introduction, most viewers will worry that it is a life issue, and it may not be very pleasing in the festive and lively Spring Festival; Moreover, from director Han Yan to starring Peng Yuchang and Li Gengxi, they are all competing for the Spring Festival for the first time, and they can't reach the national level of their competitors in the same period in terms of lineup.
However, as an audience who has watched the first two parts of Han Yan's "Life Trilogy", he is still full of curiosity about the final chapter of this series, so Baba still went to the cinema to watch it as soon as possible, and quickly sent the viewing report!
Rest assured, it is not serious and heavy, although it is the story of a seriously ill patient, but the presentation of the "suffering" part stops, the tone of the film is light and joyful, and the ending is happy and happy, but it is a ** masterpiece.
The most important thing is that after watching it, I understand why this movie chose to be in the Spring Festival.
Because at the moment of opening a new chapter, what we need to do is not to ignore the pain of the past, but to gain strength from the pain. And the most sincere and simple feelings between people can illuminate all the darkness along the road.
I'm the dividing line of the sun, shaking, shaking
The two protagonists of Let's Shake the Sun Together are both seriously ill patients.
One is played by Li Gengxi, a physically and mentally exhausted uremia patient Ling Min;
One is played by Peng Yuchang, who has almost given up on Lu Tu, a brain tumor patient.
Just from the appearance, you can accurately feel the "patient" status of the two.
Because uremia patients do dialysis all year round, they will be dull and their complexion will be darker. In addition, there will be strict control of water intake, so the lips will be in a chapped state for a long time.
It is these details that make "Ling Min" played by Li Gengxi stand up from the beginning.
One of the heart-wrenching episodes in the movie is that Lu Tu unknowingly pinched Ling Min's forearm and accidentally destroyed the fistula she had created when she was on dialysis.
When he went to the hospital to ask the doctor to check the fistula, Ling Min's pale cheeks hurt and his hair was soaked in a cold sweat, so real that people could feel the pain through the screen.
Li Gengxi is enough to subvert the image, and Peng Yuchang almost didn't recognize it.
According to director Han Yan, there were many passers-by watching the filming with their mobile phones during the filming, and while filming, they said, "I heard that this movie has Peng Yuchang, but why didn't I see him", and Peng Yuchang was obviously sitting next to him at this time.
He has lost a lot of weight and has a scruffy beard, because his role in the movie is a patient who has undergone a brain tissue removal operation and **, so he has a long scar on his head and his hair is messy, which is really like two people in everyone's impression.
The story of the movie is set in Hunan, Peng Peng also needs to speak a plastic dialect, he came to Changsha a month in advance to experience the local life, and Lu Tu in the movie is like an authentic Hunan man.
Of course, the actors can deliver high scores, and the whole team must have put a lot of effort into it.
Director Han Yan said that there was a year between the time he wanted to make this movie and the time he started writing the script. He spent a year on the Internet following many ordinary patients to record the bits and pieces of their lives, and then recorded these details of life into movies.
In order to strive for authenticity, the crew built a dialysis room by themselves, and even invited some real uremia patients to play dialysis patients, so in the process of watching the movie, as an audience, the sense of substitution is very strong.
However, although it is a story related to seriously ill patients, and the scenery is also quite restored, the overall viewing experience is still joyful and laughing with tears.
This story is based in part from the documentary report "The Most Utilitarian Marriage Transaction, The Most Emotional Eternal Promise".
Ling Min and Lu Tu met unexpectedly through the "marriage notice", at first the pair of "happy enemies" thought that each other was "going to the kidneys but not the heart", but in the sympathy between the patients, they finally survived the darkest moment in their lives and gained sincere love.
In the early stage, Lu Tu was mistaken for a crazy fool, and he was obviously a seriously ill patient who had a knife on his head, but he ran around to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Ling Min to ensure that she was not a **.
Lu Tu confirmed Ling Min's identity because he watched her strictly control her diet and go to the hospital for dialysis alone; And Ling Min confirmed Lu Tu's identity because he saw the medical records he handed over.
Obviously two young people in their twenties are in their youth, and they laugh and play games like everyone else every day, but because of the impermanence of fate, they have a common life experience in different time and space.
Among them, the plot that made Baba's tears burst the most was when Ling Min learned that she could have a matching kidney source for transplantation, and Lu Tu rushed to the hospital with her in the torrential rain.
Ling Min pretended to be strong in front of the operating room to wipe her tears, while another patient, who was also waiting for this kidney source, was crying in pain: "I can't wait, I can't wait!" ”
Not only for seriously ill patients, but in fact, for every ordinary person, the most painful moment is not to lose, but to smash this hope in front of you with your own hands after life has given you a good hope.
But what is touching about "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is that in the face of these brokenness, they still tirelessly reach out to the next ray of hope, even if the outstretched arm is already full of pinholes, even if it is just a small dawn, they still chase hard.
I'm the dividing line of moving emotions
All films involving "birth, old age, sickness and death", even if they are based on joy, seem to inevitably avoid some moments that make people feel a little down, after all, it is a proposition that runs through everyone's life.
And in the face of the impermanence of life, no one has the right to blame those who choose to escape, because it is true that not everyone has the courage to face their wounds.
But because of this, seeing Ling Min and Lu Tu each choose to overcome obstacles in a state full of vitality will make people even more moved.
There is an impressive line in the movie: "What if there is no next page in my life?" "How do you know if you don't flip through it. ”
Ling Min chose to take the initiative to turn the page, while Lu Tu took the pen again to write the next page.
A 25-year-old young girl, in the face of the sudden arrival of uremia, bears everything silently.
She controls her diet regularly, blanches the meat she eats, records her water intake and urine output in detail, and takes her medicine every minute.
At the same time, she also worked hard to make money, was a sensible child in front of her parents, took care of herself in more than just the details of her daily life, and never passed on negative emotions to her parents who were already worried about her.
And the more sensible it is, the more distressing it will be.
When Ling Min's rented house was broken by the landlord and forced to move, she went to the community agency to make a big fuss, and that was the moment when she finally broke out after she couldn't bear it anymore.
And this outbreak is because the three hospitals in this community are all within five kilometers of her waiting for a kidney source, as long as there is a suitable kidney source, she can immediately rush to the scene.
She cried and said to the intermediary, "Is it wrong to be sick, and it's not the ...... I want to be sick."Li Gengxi's performance vividly interpreted this grievance and unwillingness, she is already working hard to turn the next page of her life, very brave, but behind this bravery, it is created with countless heartbreaking moments.
To Ling Min, Lu Tu was a completely different person from her.
In the face of brain tumor, he is like a brainless person, using the most optimistic attitude to hide his true fear. Before the brain tumor worsened, he was able to eat, drink, run and sleep like a normal person, and said to Ling Min as he gulped down meat: "You see that I have been cut off a piece of my brain, and I live quite well." ”
He believed in aliens, believed in some strange theories, and was completely unmoved by Ling Min's scolding and chasing, and continued to do what he insisted on.
Mom lied to him that he quit drinking, and he drank an alcohol-flavored drink, and his mother thought that Lu Tu believed it stupidly, but in fact he knew everything, but he didn't debunk it.
These two sensible children, meeting each other, is the salvation of each other's lives. For the strong Ling Min, Lu Tu gave her a shoulder to lean on; For Lu Tu, who used Lotte to cover up his fear, Ling Min gave him the courage to face his illness and fight.
In the years of panic, the fluttering two people were like floating beds that grabbed each other during a tsunami, drying each other's wet each other with each other's body temperature, and embracing each other to face the huge waves of turbulent life.
Every Spring Festival is urging marriage, it seems that the whole society is promoting fast-food love, and even emotional bloggers are emphasizing the use of routines to win people's hearts, so in "Let's Shake the Sun Together", watching Ling Min and Lu Tu face life and death together, there is a simple sincerity.
Even, the movie itself does not have a sentence of "I love you" from beginning to end, but this sentence "I don't want to live for you, I want to live with you" is already the most moving confession.
The joy of life is that you can only move forward, and everything is unknown. But once you get seriously ill, it seems that a clock suddenly starts hanging in front of you. But the meaning of this clock is not the timekeeping of life, but always reminding everyone to cherish every moment when they can live and love brightly.
This is also the meaning of the title of "Let's Shake the Sun Together", every minute and second with the sun is worth remembering. And when the sun is not, we must also have the courage to shake the sun up.
Let's talk about tomorrow's suffering, and today is a moment, let us live wantonly.
