When the truth of the story is revealed, it seems that all the people have walked into the same snow, and the people in the past, the present, and the two time and space do not coincide, but they can all be relieved. "The Long Season" After Wang Xiang finally knew what happened to his son Wang Yang back then, he was finally able to let go of all the knots in his heart, whether his son was a murderer, nor did he abandon his family to commit suicide, let alone be deliberately killed by others, and the policeman back then probably couldn't get himself out of this case in his life. So, at the end of the film, when he saw the imaginary train whizzing by, Wang Xiang was finally able to shout: Don't look back, look forward.
This is what Wang Xiang warned himself, and it is also what he wants to tell everyone who still has time, although many people no longer have this opportunity.
Those who are egotistical, nasty.
In The Long Season, Wang Xiang was the only train driver in the factory before he was laid off, and he has always put his position above the other workers in the factory and his family; Gong Biao was a scarce college student in that era, and he was also consciously superior in the factory office; Ma Desheng is a horse team that everyone admires in the police force, but when a certain opportunity arises, he realizes that he has made a mistake in a whole case, and there is no way to correct it.
These are three people who once thought they had stood on the commanding heights of life, proud of their position, blindly confident in their own identity, and possessed a self-respecting arrogance and disdain for others. Even when they fall from the top, they still have this annoying conceit in their bones.
At first, I didn't want to watch this drama because of a picture of three greasy old men dancing around in the bright KTV, and suddenly it looked so greasy that it made people sick to their stomachs. Until I watch the whole drama, I will admit that this is a good work, because this annoying feeling in the character design is really vividly performed. Even the obsession of these old men with things will make people feel touched, but they will also feel that their conceit is still there, and they are still the arrogance and hatred of their youth.
Those who are young and have not had time to bloom.
And the life in the story should have been beautiful, but it didn't have time to bloom properly.
Wang Yang was a scumbag, and even in the eyes of people of that era, he might be just an idle gangster. He doesn't want to enter the steel mill, he doesn't want his son to inherit his father's business, he will only have an ethereal dream of being a poet. He is a brave and dreaming young man, but he is also a young man who wants to escape when love and family are in a dilemma. But he was always a good boy. His hands were never really bloody, and he tried to keep every promise, but in the end he didn't do any of them.
Shen Mo survived, but she had already died in the river eighteen years ago. Uncle adopted her from the beginning with the most obscene purpose, she went from a little girl who couldn't protect herself to being admitted to college and tried to escape, but after the sorrow of the family, she saw the horror of human nature. And the price of resistance, the loss of relatives, lovers, and even herself, living is no different from death for her.
and Fu Weijun, in such a living environment, violence is not his only protective color. He wants to take care of his sister, he also tries to grasp love, and he is the one who can't do anything.
There are no likable characters in The Long Season, and everyone looks so annoying, either full of worldly obscenity, greed, selfishness, or so miserable. But it's a good story, a good story of unhappiness.
