"Let's Shake the Sun Together" Douban has a score of 79, among the movies in the same period, it is the most optimistic at the box office alone. Three days after its release, the box office was less than 60 million, ranking at the bottom of the live-action movies in the same schedule, and it may not be possible to take advantage of the past Lover's file, and its starring Li Gengxi and Peng Yuchang also admitted that this film is not the audience's first choice for the Spring Festival, but I still hope that after watching other movies, I can give this film a chance.
As the last part of Han Yan's "Life Trilogy", "Let's Shake the Sun Together" tells the topic of "life and death". Influenced by traditional culture and concepts, many people will not take this movie as the first choice for the Spring Festival just by looking at the subject matter. And director Han Yan himself has been stamped as a "terminally ill faction" by many Douban netizens, and under the influence of many factors, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" looks out of place in the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival stalls. But really, only the audience who has watched the movie knows that the movie does not spend a lot of space to depict the tragedy of a terminal illness, but conveys the concept of "love yourself before loving others".
The film serves as the finale of director Han Yan's "Life Trilogy", continuing the first two "Get Out!" The style of "Tumor Jun" and "Send You a Little Red Flower", similar character relationships, and the love of a man and a woman to reconcile the heavy terminal illness narrative make the overall tone of the film not so dull, but a little relaxed. The director cut the romantic love scenes of the male and female protagonists, and portrayed the protagonist's way of facing difficulties and solving problems more realistically. The high medical bills, the physical and mental pain, and the loneliness after the emotional breakdown are all like a sharp sword stabbing straight at the protagonist.
Lu Tu, a patient with a brain tumor, had already undergone a craniotomy, and after being removed from part of his brain tissue, he became a little silly and eccentric.
Ling Min, a uremia patient, was on dialysis three times a week, leaving her arm full of blood stasis. Drinking too much water can put a strain on her kidneys, and she needs to strictly control her water intake, so her lips are always chapped and "alive" is her greatest desire.
When Lu Tu and Ling Min met for the first time, Lu Tu directly "passed out" because of high cranial pressure.
But "Let's Shake the Sun Together" does not all show the pain and struggle, helplessness and fear of patients. Rather, the meaning of "alive".
Lu Tu refused to accept ** for Ling Min, and was ready to die at any time. The rest of his life seems to have only one meaning in the end: transplant his kidney to his lover, and then let her take care of his mother. Let everyone have a happy ending. But in the later stage, when Lu Tu appreciated love and responsibility, he realized that his previous thoughts seemed a little naïve! So, he decided to accept **, because only by living well can he be truly loving and responsible for his relatives and lovers. The change in Lu Tu's values is also the finale of Han Yan's "Life Trilogy" reaching a new peak - "It is more difficult to live than to die, and to live means to be responsible." Learn to love yourself before you can love others. ”
Secondly, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is the only work with "love" elements in the Spring Festival file. It is undoubtedly very good in dealing with the emotional line of the male and female protagonists step by step, and the natural and simple emotional progression relationship. As patients, they are more eager to communicate with the outside world, but inside, they are more like a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the relationship between the male and female protagonists is established very slowly, but it is this slowness that makes people believe that they have an unwavering choice between each other.
The reason why the protagonists of "Let's Shake the Sun Together" wants to "shake the sun" is because they want to live without regrets, and they want to "shake" the sun with their minds when this world is rainy, so that the world can radiate warmth. Even if the cap of the drink bottle you bought says "Thank you for your patronage", as if this life has come to an end, you can reward yourself with a "one more bottle", because fate also has a chance to be in your own hands. As a result, the whole movie is more like a combination of reality and romance. Use realism as a footnote to avoid plunging romanticism into an empty imagination. This is also the reason why although the movie is talking about the "proposition of life and death", it is not sad as a whole. The director continues the style of his previous works in terms of tone, optimistic, the male and female protagonists have personalities that are not depressed or lost, they are both bravely fighting against fate, discussing serious topics in a relaxed atmosphere, and shaking the sun together in reality.
To say that this movie has no shortcomings, it is certainly impossible. Audiences who have watched "Get Out, Tumor" and "Send You a Little Red Flower" will have an inexplicable sense of familiarity when they watch "Let's Shake the Sun Together". Lu Tu in "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and Wei Yihang in "Send You a Little Red Flower" both have brain tumors, and the role of the plot is the same. The picture of Lu Tu's head shaving before surgery has the same scene in "Little Red Flower". And the plot of Lu Tu's filming of Ling Min's life ** also originated from the ...... of Wei Yihang's parents in "Little Red Flower".There is nothing wrong with the same director and the same theme paying tribute to their previous works, but if it is repeated too much, it will also cause aesthetic fatigue as an audience, and at the same time, it will also make the creator fall into the bottleneck of creation......
Although there are some flaws in "Let's Shake the Sun Together", its inspirational story, warm plot, and special theme are still very, very worth seeing!
