"Han Dan" is a Taiwanese film with a folk theme, although it was a movie four years ago and was only released this year, I couldn't help but go to the theater with my colleagues from Hunan Qifa Culture to support it. The story of the film is very fascinating, from the "cruel" folk background of the bombing of Handan, it tells a tragedy caused by love, and then the story of two opposing young people turning from depravity to brothers, and loving and hating each other and completing redemption. Although the story of the film is not too complicated, the dramatic conflict is very sharp, and people have been paying attention to the fate of the "plastic" brothers.
The film is based on the Taitung folk "Fried Cold Sheet" and tells a "bursting" love story. Lin Zhengkun is a young man with excellent character and learning, and he has been silently crushing Xuanxuan in the same town. However, while the flower of love blooms in this ordinary town, the resentment in the heart is quietly growing. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the streets were noisy with gongs and drums, and the scene of the bombardment of Han Danye was crowded. Standing on the portable shrine, Ayi was majestically bombarded by firecrackers, when suddenly, piles of firecrackers were detonated, deafening, and screaming incessantly. This accident not only took Xuanxuan's life, but also injured Ayi, and Zhengkun suddenly chose to give up his studies.
The film tells a story about atonement, how people deal with guilt and reconcile with themselves, and uses the folklore of "fried cold lists" to concretize this theme. The story takes place in the countryside of Taitung, with natural landscapes and very traditional social relationships. The audio-visual language is also biased towards realism, and uses fresh and natural long shots. It's just that flashbacks are used a bit too much, and it's more cliché. **Several male and female characters in it are affectionate, dare to love and hate, although they are burdened with deep trauma, but they have found a way to salvation, and I envy them.
Han Danye is a traditional idealized father figure, with money, status and responsibility, these are the functions of traditional fathers, giving people the guidance of ideals and goals. The other side represents rules and punishments, just like the flower face of Han Danye who appeared several times in the movie, it is particularly clear in the black and white background, three eyes are staring at you, and all sins and faults cannot escape. The traditional father figure is very strict and powerful, which is different from the current requirements for fathers, the attributes of fatherhood and motherhood in the tradition are being neutralized, women can also have the opportunity to show their fatherly side, and men are also expected to have a gentle part of motherhood, this balance of fatherhood and motherhood allows people to experience a more complete self.
It hurts, doesn't it?"Pain means alive, doesn't it?The heart is demonic, because of love and sin, people and ghosts have different paths, go away with the smoke, there is no repentance, it is sad, it looks like a human and not a human, the walking corpse, the soul is difficult to gather, the ups and downs of life, the heart is not broken, and the sins are not redeemed. "If you could do it all over again, I'd rather hate that person than hate yourself. "On the one hand, there is redemption, and on the other hand, it is to let go, but the cold and the cold, after all, come from a cold background, and are destined to be lonely, so they can only go their separate ways. And the fireworks that burst into the flesh are pain, liberation, love, friendship, remorse, reconciliation, and the regain of life.
Li of Hunan Qifa Culture Media wrote in his commentary that this is a story about love, friendship and spiritual redemption, although the plot is a bit soap opera, but the explosive acting skills of Zheng Renshuo and other actors make some vulgar stories become solid, convincing and moving. The scenery of Taitung is too charming, the small town, the folk customs, the train through the fields, the perfect tone and composition are very beautiful. The fireworks that explode the flesh are the redemption of self-punishment, and when I suffer the pain of my skin, it is the closest moment I am to you. The most fascinating part is to write about the struggles and mutual assistance of the little people at the bottom of Taitung. Born in a cold background, the soul is lonely. We are poor and have to help ourselves. We suffer suffering, but life, will find its own way.
The Taitung coastline, the train, the town, the folklore, on this basis, half is brotherhood, wandering on the edge of society and taking care of each other;Half of the desolate reality of the lowest class of people, whose lives are like mustard, trampled on to self-destruction. The pain of flesh and skin is cruel, but the atmosphere filmed in the movie is too gentle - the wind of the Pacific, hot flashes and salty. Taitung in the wind grows as fast as it decays. Cold, cold, cold, and lonely. People who are so poor that they are afraid of ghosts cannot be relied on except themselves. Pain means alive, but the more you live, the more painful it is, isn't it?In fact, even if you start over, you will find that you have never hated that person, and you only hate yourself. "Do you know how far Taipei is?Do you know how cold it is in Taipei?"But people's hearts are the farthest, and hatred is the coldest.
