Han Lu, played by Song Qian in "Keep You Safe", is an orphan who has no relatives, and she chooses to buy a cemetery for herself in advance after learning that she is terminally ill. And she quietly chose to bury herself next to her former lover. Her lover is the younger brother of the famous entrepreneur Mr. Feng, perhaps because of the class difference between the two, he was not married before his death. Han Lu also donated all her property to the welfare home where she grew up. Unexpectedly, it was just an ordinary news, but it became a social event because of the rumors of an anonymous netizen. Han Lu was said to be "Miss **" by one by ten, and ten by hundred. The welfare institute did not dare to ask for this donation, and Mr. Feng's sister wanted to move Han Lu's grave so as not to damage the feng shui. And the fact that Han Lu is "Miss **" is completely false, and there is no real evidence at all.
So why does everyone believe it? This starts with the herd psychology of the Internet, the majority of netizens don't care about what the truth is, they just eat melons, just like the lines in the film, "Just eat a melon, why take it so seriously". When everyone laughs at it as an after-dinner conversation, the truth is no longer important, it just provides a tool for others to relieve their boredom, and everyone doesn't realize that everyone's hands are covered with blood, and no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche. Therefore, don't take evil as small, don't take good as small, the ancients have already taught us the truth of being a man.
In the film, only Wei Ping'an questioned Han Lu's rumors, and he wanted to seek the truth, so how the rumors came about was picked up little by little. The level of absurdity makes the audience laugh, but they are surprised that it is so close to reality, as the saying goes, "art is higher than life", and sometimes, the real world we live in is more cruel and absurd. The hardest blow to a woman is to carry out "** humiliation", just like the line "When you say that a girl is a young lady, she is a young lady", this sentence Dapeng used the camera to shoot at Li Xueqin, and the lens language explains that this is what Dapeng wants to say to the audience, it is very important, and it is also the theme that Dapeng wants to express, don't "**humiliate" a girl at will, this is about her reputation.
The so-called "spreading rumors with one mouth, refuting rumors and breaking legs", but the good guy Wei Ping'an really paid a lot of price for this truth. He was almost fired from the cemetery company for sticking to his principles; Because of helping the naked donation sister Han Lu, he was bullied by the Internet, and black fans kept hacking him and attacking him. When he is sad and sad, a white horse appears, and Dapeng uses a little surreal element to give the protagonist spiritual comfort, he sees this white horse as the incarnation of Han Lu, and tells him to help him and where to go. Then he dismantled himself and asked Qi Zhifu, played by Wang Xun, to tell him that this white horse was just a horse that had stolen away from a nearby tourist attraction. And the second time the white horse appeared, it was because he met the uncle who was herding the horse in Inner Mongolia. This white horse is so well used that it makes us believe that "everything has a spirit" and understand that this is a work of realism. Like the protagonist Wei Ping'an, we are willing to believe that the white horse is Han Lu, and the good guy Ping'an is doing the right thing, no matter how difficult the road is.
There is never anything wrong with doing justice, but the cost of justice is sometimes very high, if we are afraid of cowardice, we will be defeated, and only those who are steadfast in their hearts and brave to move forward can overcome the darkness and stick to their principles. It's like Han Lu's WeChat signature - do what you think is right. It not only inspires Wei Ping'an, but also inspires every ordinary person who has been at a loss.
"Keep You Safe" not only successfully created the character of Wei Ping'an, but also many other little characters who are equally brilliant, such as the timid and fearful Qi Zhifu, the seemingly simple and smart Wei Ruyi, the vigorous and resolute Mr. Feng, and the pet shop beautician Tony 、......, who is a bit of a motherThey make up the beings in our lives, everyone is kind, but not as brave as the protagonist. Only the girl with the birthmark on her leg, she is Wei Ping'an's daughter Wei Moli, the name Moli may be in the hope that she will go through some more hardships in order to grow into a big tree, she is as righteous and brave as her father, she was also afraid of cowardice at first, but in the end she overcame her fear and told the truth, although the price paid was to be bullied on campus and filmed**.
Being a good person may come at a very painful price, do you dare? After being hurt, are you willing to continue to be the hero who delivers justice? To be or not to be is a test of the deepest part of our souls. And Dapeng tells us through this movie that good people should be rewarded and bad people should be punished, this is what the world should be!
Dapeng is a director who observes the real world in detail, and among the new generation of directors, there are not many directors who can draw on reality and do the disadvantages of the times, and refine the essence of the absurd, which is also a rare place for him. Throughout Dapeng's creation, he pays attention to some small people, they come from the bottom, rooted in society, and have not done any earth-shattering feats, but each of them has a chivalrous heart, after life has fallen to the bottom, he can still insist on himself, laugh at life, what a precious wealth.
The first half of "Keep You Safe" is responsible for being funny, and the second half makes you cry bitterly. The script is solid, it shows the horror of online violence from multiple dimensions, and also tells people the process of concocting rumors. As a commercial film, Dapeng has been superb, and the director's skills have been greatly improved, such as the grasp of the rhythm, the laying out of jokes, and the use of lenses, which not only integrates the elements of comedy and fight films, but also makes you laugh with tears in the end and empathize with the protagonist. It also has the core of a literary film, refracting reality through movies, moving good people and shame bad people. Let everyone who sees this film understand the horror of "cyber violence". Respect for women, starting with the rejection of "**shaming"!
