On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" was released. The most striking thing in the cinema is a wedding poster. The two leading actors are even a little unrecognizable: the bald head + suit is "Peng Peng" Peng Yuchang, and the "bride" next to him is Li Gengxi, who is covered with a veil. In fact, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is the second follow-up to "Get Out! After "Tumor Jun" and "Send You a Little Red Flower", the final chapter of the "Life Trilogy" directed by Han Yan. 
If you still have an impression of the first two movies, you can basically understand the main tone of this "trilogy": relaxed, warm, and loving life. But the background is all realistic works, such as "Get Out! The attitude of laughing at life in the midst of illness conveyed in "Tumor Jun", and the theme of believing in beauty and love in the difficult days conveyed in "Send You a Little Red Flower". And in this "Let's Shake the Sun Together", there is a kind of desperate upward force. Compared with similar movies, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is completely "atypical realist theme film" - inspiration everywhere, but not "forced optimism". The story integrates the epiphany of life into the daily details of the experience. The sincerity and thoughtfulness between the two young people are touching, and the two themes of "young love" and "struggle against fate" are both based on a warm and positive background. 
The two protagonists of the movie are Lu Tu played by Peng Yuchang and Ling Min played by Li Gengxi. "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is the first collaboration between Peng Yuchang and Li Gengxi, and their especially sincere interpretation attitude is very impressive. Peng Yuchang is very suitable for such a "down-to-earth" role, on the one hand, because his every move is unpretentious and integrates into the market. On the other hand, Peng Peng always seems to have a heartless smile on his face, which is very infectious. And "Let's Shake the Sun Together" wants the infectious power of survival in this desperate situation. It is said that during the roadshow in Tianjin, Peng Yuchang was once inspired by the uncle and aunt who were swimming by the bridge, and temporarily decided to run to dive, "in a blink of an eye, he was in ** suit". 
Even Weibo comments said: I feel that this is something that Lu Tu (movie character, male lead) can do. On the other hand, Li Gengxi also unexpectedly fit with the character Ling Min. Li Gengxi changed his previous "vitality" image this time, starred in a seriously ill girl, and had many emotional outburst scenes. On the one hand, there is a haggard and withered manuscript under the torture of illness, which makes people feel distressed; And when she turned her head, she was like a fierce little beast, opening her teeth and claws to wage war against this world. 
In particular, the two scenes of "reasoning with the intermediary" and "filming fistula in the hospital" are very easy to arouse empathy. Originally, Ling Min rented a house in the old school district, which had the advantage of being close to three hospitals. However, the agent wanted to sell the house and drive people out, kept bringing people to see the house, and asked her to put away the medicine in the house. Ling Min did not swallow her anger, but chose to be "tough", and the image of a strong girl was instantly distinct. A crying "This is my lifeline, I am a patient!" Big brother, I'm a sick person. instantly made people cry, and also felt the weight of life in Li Gengxi's interpretation. 
And Lu Tu played by Peng Yuchang, the most touching point is that he uses even some "self-deception" theories to find positive reasons for himself. Lu Tu told Ling Min that he had joined an organization that would contact aliens and would send codes into outer space through infrared rays. That's because they believe that when the aliens receive the signal, they will bring back the person's consciousness, and the body will fall into a coma on Earth, and once the consciousness is repaired and sent back, the person will wake up and their illness will be cured. People always have to give themselves a reason to be optimistic, and when Lu Tuhan smiled and talked about the theory he firmly believed, the struggle of young life was even more distressing. 
Lu Tu is not "out of tune", on the contrary, he is extremely reliable. Whether it is to his mother "Aunt Tao" or to Ling Min from a friend to his later wife, he is doing his best to fulfill his responsibilities. Ling Min was hospitalized, Lu Tu offered to move Ling Min, he sincerely helped and spared no effort, ran back and forth many times, and moved everything over in detail. Even the eldest brother of the intermediary praised him, "Your friend is really powerful, and he works hard." 
And the emotional line between Lu Tu and Ling Min is connected by the three weddings before and after the whole movie. The first wedding was when Ling Min's friend got married, and she appeared as a bridesmaid. Ling Min, who has always looked sickly, wore a light blue gauze skirt amid the lights and flowers at the wedding, looking particularly youthful and beautiful. And Lu Tu helped as a temporary photographer, and he couldn't help but take a "close-up of Ling Min while dancing". 
At this wedding, the two young people changed from "patient role" to "social role" for the first time. The social scene is connected with the professional scene, and people can see the patient's world, which can also be so colorful. This wedding created an opportunity for the two to intersect their fates, allowing the two young people to begin to understand each other's lives in depth. 
The second wedding was a wedding in which Lu Tu and Ling Min received their certificates and "lived" with a group of tour groups. They didn't tell their families about the certificate, nor did they plan to entertain friends, but they just happened to meet a group of tour groups, and asked everyone to help them "lively" at the price of "a plate of braised pork and a plate of fish head with double peppers". This so-called "wedding" seems to be very simple and noisy, and it is the kind of "vulgar wedding" that many young people avoid, but it is a "luxury" in the lives of these two sick young people. The important nodes of life need a sense of ritual, and it also makes people think more about the meaning of this life journey. 
The third wedding is the wedding held at the end of the movie, when Ling Min and Lu Tu decide to go on bravely together and get a new chance to live again. At this wedding, Ling Min was wearing a white veil, and her father gave her hand to Lu Tu's hand. Lu Tu still retains his bald head after being discharged from the hospital, and a scar extends longitudinally on the side of the skull very obviously. But both of them are extremely happy because they have both found the strength to be brave and uplifting, and they use love to support each other through the difficult years.
From these three weddings, people also understand why the movie is called "Let's Shake the Sun Together", and the true meaning of the so-called "Shake the Sun". "The sun rises and sets every day, and it gets tired and dozes off, so it will be cloudy and rainy. "Life will encounter cloudy and rainy days, and we can shake the sun up with our minds." Their third wedding was a "big action" to "shake the sun". For the long difficulties of life, faith is more precious than **. In the face of the seemingly heavy proposition of "birth, old age, sickness and death", but it runs through everyone's life, the key is to "believe" and never "mourn".
Although this movie tells the story of two sick young people, it is fortunate that it is not deliberately sensational. Every laugh and tear comes naturally. The story of the movie takes place in Changsha, Hunan, a city with very good market fireworks, Peng Yuchang plays the local Lu Tu, who usually has a mouthful of "plastic pu", which also makes people feel that they are not suspended. And Ling Min's original profession was a tour guide, and the "Orange Island", "Yuelu Academy" and "Taiping Old Street" in her mouth are all must-see attractions in Changsha.
In addition to the tacit cooperation between the two leading actors, the cast of the whole movie is also very strong. "National Dad" Gao Yalin plays the role of the father of the heroine Ling Min, and his love for his daughter is all in the details, which is deeply moving. Every time Gao Yalin's father appeared, he couldn't hold back tears throughout the whole process. Every time he sees a blood donation point, he goes to donate blood, just so that his daughter can have priority for her immediate family. He held back tears and said, "I'm not worthy of her, and that's all I'm a dad can do." "The kind of guilt for my daughter, the long-term heartache and depression, make it impossible not to be moved to tears.
and "Aunt Pot" Liu Dan played Ling Min's mother in the movie. This is a completely different mother figure, she is stern and strong, but you can see the haggard in the midst of her worries inside and out. The other mother, Aunt Tao, the mother of the male protagonist Lu Tu, is played by Xu Fan. This hard-working mother laughed all the time, and the "alcoholic drink" she carried with her was the only outlet under pressure. In addition, there are also real estate agents played by Wang Xun, hospital doctors played by Li Jianyi, etc., and the strong cast is very powerful in shaping the social ecology.
As the final chapter of the "Life Trilogy", "Let's Shake the Sun Together" chooses not to promote suffering, but to see through life itself that the impermanence of life requires a positive and optimistic belief. Although the film starts from the perspective of a seriously ill patient, Lu Tu and Ling Min accidentally established a connection because they were also "young". But at the same time, they are also more mature than their peers, and they appreciate the weight of life and the meaning of life earlier. This kind of emotional journey of mutual bonding, mutual understanding, mutual support, and life force to each other is thicker and deeper than the petty love of ordinary young people.
At the beginning of the new year, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" also gives many people room to think when facing the trough of life: although on the surface it is "no matter how bad life is, it is nothing more than that", but in essence, this movie is also a reflection on the plight of ordinary people and the ubiquitous difficult environment of life - there are always lows in life, but in the face of life's crit, it is better to be optimistic than to give up the rotten. In the words that Lu Tu left for Ling Min, he said, "I'm sure you'll definitely take care of everything very well. Because your passive skill is called revenge. That is, when you have suffered the critical blow of life, there is a 100% chance of entering a demonic state and stumbling with this world. In the face of the impermanence of life, "stumbling with fate" is also a choice.
