The film "Four Days and Nights" directed by Chen Li is unique, and it is full of novelty from the selection of materials to the concept. Their ingenious ideas not only shorten the distance between history and reality, leaders and people, life and art, but also make the image of *** more brilliant on the screen.
The film tells the story of going to Handan Boyan in Hebei Province in 1961 to conduct a rural survey. At that time, the national economy was facing serious difficulties, and the great famine was particularly severe throughout the country, and rural production and lifestyle, such as public canteens, became obstacles to the development of the rural economy. In order to understand the actual situation, ** decided to go to Boyan Village to conduct investigation and research.
However, the local cadres covered up the truth, were unwilling to tell the truth, and even imprisoned those cadres who usually dared to raise their opinions. ** There was a fierce conflict with these cadres who deliberately told lies. In the end, with his love for the people and the open-mindedness of the Communists, he influenced those cadres who told lies and made them tell the real situation in the countryside and the voice of the peasants.
The film successfully brings the audience into that era and makes them feel the truth and depth of history. One of the highlights of the film is that it has changed the angle commonly used in shaping leaders in the past, placing *** among ordinary people, and more truly showing the prime minister's pro-people image. At the same time, the film also restores the historical details of the time, and carries out reasonable artistic processing and imagination in accordance with the laws of film art, making the story more vivid and interesting.
It is worth mentioning that the movie condenses the story in a relatively concentrated time and space environment, a village, four days and nights. The plot of the story is compact, the contradictions and conflicts are obvious, there is a beginning and an end, the beginning and the end, and the context is clear. The director has put a lot of effort into setting up and grasping the contradictions and conflicts, such as Guo Fenglin telling lies, imprisoning backward elements, and telling his old father, which constitute the opposite of the contradictions. However, he is not a pure bad person, and he acts out of fear, which reflects his inner contradictions and struggles.
In addition, the performance of Sun Weimin, the actor of *** in the film, adds color to the movie. Although his appearance is not very similar to ***, after entering the plot, he relied on his grasp of the image and personality of *** characters, which effectively made up for the shortcomings in this regard, and quickly made the audience accept it. Overall, the film creates vivid characters by telling a complete story, showing a specific era background and character character.
