tearjerker director

Chapter 1100 Comedy?tragedy?
Li Yi's own appeal, coupled with the vigorous promotion of the video platform, and the spontaneous Amway of fans.

Therefore, even if it is just a short film, it still starts to spread and ferment in the shortest possible time.

Different from those short films in the past, the short film "The Little Match Girl" has caused quite a bit of controversy.

Of course, the so-called controversy is mainly due to the fact that after reading it, some viewers felt that this was a tragic story that made people feel unbearable.

But another part of the audience felt that "The Little Match Girl" was not a tragedy, but a short comedy.

Soon some film critics and editorial critics also joined the discussion.

Famous editorial commentator Fang Miao: "The Little Match Girl tells the story of a little match girl who froze to death on the street on New Year's Eve. At first glance, the little girl's ending is death, which seems to be a sad story. Could not be any more sad story.

But is this really the case?

I prefer to believe that director Li Yi's original intention is not just to make us sympathize with her tragic experience, so what is his intention in making this short film and telling this story?

My five-year-old daughter saw this short video of "The Little Match Girl" while watching the video.Of course, I asked her what was her impression of this short film, and she said that her deepest impression was those beautiful pictures and grandma taking the little girl to heaven.

This is really interesting.

Why do we adults only see misery, but children see joy?Maybe my daughter is right.

She was reminding me that the point of this story is not the beginning, but the end.

The experience of the little girl in the short film is indeed tragic. She was so poor that she didn’t even have a pair of shoes of her own. The family still had to be beaten, but they were too scared to go home.

She grew up in a family without family ties, and the only grandmother who loved her has passed away.In such hunger and cold, she could only rely on the corner of the cold street and light matches to keep warm.What a poor little girl!
In the end, as Du Fu wrote: "The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the road has frozen bones." She was frozen to death by the corner of the street.Don't forget, this is a night of supposedly fun and reunion.

From here, we can see how deep sympathy and compassion the short film has for the poor and weak.In the joy of the New Year, let us hear the groans of the poor and the cries of the weak.We cannot, in this respect, admire his affection too much.Because of this short film, we have seen the cruelty of the world and the real scene of the poor suffering and dying.

But I prefer to believe that Director Li Yi's original intention when making this short film is to hope that we can pass on this kind of emotion to the children of our era!In this day and age, indifference and selfishness have become a common problem.

I don't know if you still remember the "Little Yueyue incident"?More than a dozen passers-by passed by a child who was crushed to death by a car many times, turning a blind eye to it, and even deliberately bypassing it when they saw it. This deeply reflects the hardness of the heart and the darkness of human nature.

I hope that after watching the short film, we can light the spiritual matches that seem to be of no avail in this dark night.

I prefer to believe that this short film hopes that we will be filled with love instead of hate and indifference.

Because a heart full of love can pass on love.

But after reading it so far, I think that this is not the whole story, or even the gist.

People regard the little girl freezing to death as the greatest misfortune and pain, but the content shown in the short film shows that this is not the main theme of the short film.

It can even be said that the little girl saw the beautiful scene, and she can be said to be happy, because she finally went to the heaven without pain and tears with her grandma, where there is real and eternal happiness.

Therefore, this short film does not focus on showing the misery and pain of the little girl, but focuses more on the beautiful scene she saw when she lit a match.In that beautiful scene, whether it is a jumping roast duck or a wall that can penetrate, it is almost no longer something that this world can have.Until grandma appeared, she became the messenger of the world without pain and sorrow, and came to this world to ascend to the eternal heaven with her granddaughter's soul in her arms.

Before dying, the little girl saw the star that her soul turned into, and saw the beauty of the world in her dream. At the same time, because of her longing for the ideal world and her persistence in love, she was taken to heaven by her grandmother. went.

Before she died, she still had a smile on her lips.

We always see the sadness, but ignore the light and warmth in it.If you don't believe me, please read it again without prejudice.

Because of all kinds of hard work, she never lost her kind heart, and Match finally fulfilled her wish. Therefore, for the little girl, it is lucky for her to leave this sad world with her grandma, even if she sacrifices her life! "

However, there are also many people who expressed different views immediately.

"I've watched it several times, but every time I can't see where the comedy is?

The part about lighting the candles does look like a romantic fairy tale, but the ending is closer to reality. The reality is so cruel and unfair, and the fantasy is so beautiful. Few people will take the initiative to wake themselves up from their dreams and touch the real world. It's cold, that's too crappy.Maybe many people are aware of the falseness of this dream, but everyone is unwilling to wake up until they die with a smile on the corner of their mouth in such a beautiful dream.

So, how can this even count as comedy? "

"I cried so much while watching it, my heart was in a panic, you tell me this is actually a comedy?

Sorry, this is really not what I think a comedy should be like! "

"So, people were frozen to death, and others looked on indifferently, saying that the little girl was not in pain, and there was a smile on her lips before she died. Is this a comedy?
But as the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. If she can live, how can she be willing to die?

She was taken away by her grandma to the so-called heaven, but people died like a lamp went out. When we saw a person die, who would know where he went?

We only know that he disappeared in our world!
So, the so-called comedy, please enjoy yourself! "

"I only saw that even though her tiny body was silent, passers-by still didn't have any kindness towards her. Passers-by who don't care are the most evil people.

In the end nothing new comes under the sun either, and from the source of the age indifference becomes evil. "

In fact, any topic, after disputes, will inevitably lead to many excessive interpretations.

The same goes for The Little Match Girl.

What is Li Yi's original intention?
In fact, it really doesn't matter anymore.

What is there to say?

Although the work is created by you, how do you interpret it and what do you want to express?In fact, when you are already caught in countless discussions, it has nothing to do with you!

The same is true of this short film at this moment.

Some people feel that this society is not as indifferent as the world in the short film.

Therefore, Li Yi probably had ulterior motives in making this short film.

But some people think that the indifference of this society is hidden deeper. Perhaps the tragedy of the little match girl did not happen in the sun, but in the dark corner, who dare to say that it never happened?
