tearjerker director

Chapter 1295 You and I meet, is the most beautiful poem.

After all, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is domestically produced, and it is also facing domestic audiences. Therefore, in terms of natural acceptance, it is stronger than "The Love of Ghosts".

Moreover, folklore such as scholars and female ghosts are actually familiar to everyone.

It's just that this time "A Chinese Ghost Story" really made everyone feel that way. When you think of a scholar, you can't help but think of Ning Caichen, and when you think of a kind female ghost, you can't help but think of Nie Xiaoqian.

Of course, different people must have different interpretations of this movie.

Some people like the apocalyptic plot, some people like the love between people and ghosts, some people like Yan Chixia's free and easy way of playing swords and singing, and there are also people who like the county magistrate who is desperate for money:
"This kind of world view seems absurd, but in fact, it is hard not to let people think that the background of the film reflects a certain era!"

"The relationship between humans and ghosts is over. Although I guessed the ending at the beginning, but the dog director is the dog director, so what if I tell you the ending?"

"Yan Chixia doesn't seem to be doing a proper job, but it is really the most special one in the film. He hid in Lanruo Temple to avoid disputes in the world. In his opinion, although ghosts and gods gather in this place, black and white are distinct; In the world, there is often no distinction between right and wrong, black and white. Here, Yan Chixia is a representative of the ultimate justice. His song of justice, which he sang while practicing sword while drunk in the woods, is soul-stirring."

"Doesn't anyone think that the county magistrate is very interesting? Is it okay to leave the court for free? Hahaha!"

"Xiahou is a real man. Use practical actions to explain what it means to die under the peony flower, and to be a ghost is also romantic! Are there more men like Xiahou or Ning Caichen in the world? The answer is self-evident! Therefore, I feel that Xiahou is a real man. He is the representative of ordinary people!"

However, the most discussed is still the eternal theme, love!

"The love between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian was doomed from the very beginning. The happy ending in the original version is more like a kind of irony, while the ending of the movie version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is more realistic. and ruthless."

"This is definitely a love that can't be met!"

"Whether people are gods, ghosts or demons, love is an eternal topic. Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are the love between humans and ghosts, but it is also so touching. Even ghosts long for love, let alone ordinary people in the world?"

"In real life, everyone hopes to have a love of their own, but everyone complains why they can't find love? Some are just the exchange of conditions. The society is full of color, money, and rights. In the real world, women are sad and men are also sad. Women are sad because they are abandoned by men, and men are sad because they are cheated by women and have no true feelings.”

"Just like the theme song says: The road of life is as beautiful as the road is long. Who hasn't had a dream? Who hasn't had his dream lover? However, the wind seems to be sighing in a dream, and the road and people are boundless.

In reality, love is something that can be met but not sought after!Don't be sad if you don't meet, and don't be proud of what you meet. In the world of mortals, there are many directions for beautiful dreams. To find love in a dreamy dream, the road follows others. "

"A resentment, an innocence, where the string is broken, you and I meet, is the most beautiful poem.

It is your helplessness that moves me, and I am willing to use my clothes to support you.But, you are the flower on the other side, I have swam across the sea but I can't touch you; you are the moon in the water, I have broken the autumn water but I am still empty-handed.

It is your kindness that moved me, and I am willing to follow you till the end of the world.But there is a boundary between humans and ghosts, and love without results will only disappoint your resentful heart.I don't want to see any sadness in your innocent eyes.

However, reckless love is the most beautiful first encounter. When I am at my best, I have you by my side.Then there is a boundary between humans and ghosts, so what is it?

Or a little sad.

"As soon as the sun rises, I will take you away."

wait for me. "

"In that life, in that life, he missed her, loved her, and waited for her. Yin and Yang were separated, and now he has repaid this love. After many years, will she still remember that there was a man who lowered his eyebrows for her? Bow your head and hold a candle for her and talk at night: Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, every inch of blue hair is worried about the new year, alone, only looking at each other to protect each other, only envious of mandarin ducks, not immortals."

"Actually, this seemingly impossible but beautiful love between humans and ghosts represents a kind of human beings' persistent pursuit of beautiful love, no matter what form this kind of feeling exists in. From this , it can be seen that what the director is looking for and intending to express is the reason why this film is really touching. No one will always remember the appearance of the Millennium Dryad, and no one will always remember how justice defeated evil. There is that eternal true love and love that travels through the realm of humans and ghosts, through time and time, and stays in everyone's heart."

Some people also like the music in the movie.

"The music of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very appropriate. It is light, a little melodious, and the sound shows linear characteristics, advancing to the distance at an even speed. This kind of lyrical style will not be depressed in the restrained way, and will not be in the relaxed state. It is out of control, and it is very closely integrated with the screen. It is also a charm to bring the audience a consistent audio-visual spiritual enjoyment."

Some people began to analyze from the aesthetic aspect, why is Nie Xiaoqian so popular?
"First of all, the title of the film is "A Chinese Ghost Story", so it is natural to highlight the screen image of Nie Xiaoqian.

I have to say that director Li Yi's aesthetic attainments are really superb.

Nie Xiaoqian's portrayal is also perfect, why do you say that?

Because when we see Nie Xiaoqian, we will use some words to describe her, but in fact, Nie Xiaoqian is actually a fusion of two images, both a "demon girl" and a "goddess":
As a ghost, on the one hand, she seduces Ning Caichen and makes him deeply rooted in love, and she does not hesitate to risk her life; on the other hand, she is as beautiful as a god, and she commits herself to rescue Ning Caichen many times;
Nie Xiaoqian, who is both a "demon girl" and a "goddess", successfully made the audience fascinated and sighed.Nie Xiaoqian dressed in white is like a pure and inviolable celestial girl, but the many fragrant scenes shown from the perspective of Ning Caichen make the audience seem to cross a certain taboo bottom line, such as the scene of bathing in the room and the tryst in the small building by the lake, In fact, he obtained the satisfaction of peeping desire through Ning Caichen's eyes.

It is undeniable that this lively Nie Xiaoqian is still exhibited and displayed on the screen for people to admire and watch.And this kind of Nie Xiaoqian is also full of distinct oriental sentiments.The attitude of refusal and welcome to Ning Caichen, the elegant and charming movements of the lakeside, the shrewdness when fighting secretly with the sisters, and the attitude of being weak and supportive in front of the grandmother all show the unique social environment of oriental women. A social system where power is paramount, an environment where women are imprisoned and lack independent ability, and family politics—women want to gain social status and power through marriage, but they cannot control the right to choose a marriage partner. character traits;

Moreover, although she has an elegant demeanor, she has a boldness and debauchery different from ordinary women, and she can freely commit herself to the man she loves. She is definitely not the usual image of a repressed and abstinent lady!

So this Nie Xiaoqian is a collection of thousands of male fantasies, a combination of "lady" and "whore".The male audience was directly impacted by the visual beauty, and felt satisfied by substituting Ning Caichen's role. It can be said that he obtained double satisfaction as a voyeur and an actor, and felt a spiritual love affair through watching the movie.

What is mentioned above is the satisfaction of the desire for male audiences, so where is the desire for women in this movie?
Is the female audience just watching an objectified Nie Xiaoqian together from a male perspective?

No.Although female audiences are also appreciating movies from a masculine perspective to a certain extent, watching Nie Xiaoqian who is shaped to satisfy male desires.However, Nie Xiaoqian is also an outlet for women to release their own desires.

The character of Oriental women is very complicated.The main reason is that the tight family structure determines that women must play many roles at the same time. The roles of daughter, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, younger siblings, wife, mother, and mother-in-law are often integrated at the same time.

To deal with different roles, you need to adopt completely different strategies and attitudes. For example, as a daughter-in-law, you must be humble to your in-laws; as a wife, you must be dignified and gentle; One of the characteristics of oriental women is that they have complex personalities, or in other words, they are all-round and exquisite.

In the role of Nie Xiaoqian, being obedient to her grandmother can be seen as flattering the elders who can control her destiny, and the struggle with Xiaoqing can be seen as an open and secret struggle between peers.It can be said that although Nie Xiaoqian is a ghost, the situation she is in is no different from that of ordinary women - the control of the elders, the lack of freedom in marriage, the intrigue of peers - and it will also resonate with female audiences.

Although Nie Xiaoqian was used by her grandmother to kill someone, but the most important thing for her is not this, but her grandmother arranged to marry the Montenegrin old demon she didn't like.

The reason why she rebelled was because she met Ning Caichen, whom she liked, and she didn't want to marry according to her grandmother's arrangement.It can be said that the most important thing for Nie Xiaoqian is not her life but her freedom of love.Such a romantic setting naturally moves women.

I remember someone once satirized the three views of some film and television works in the past and their indisputability. What you lost was only a leg, but what she lost was love!

At first glance, it seems that these words are indeed unfair, but such film and television works have won countless fans, why?
Because for many women, love is above all else is the romance they imagined, and the priority is naturally the highest.

For today's women, although the personal freedom and social status have greatly improved with the changes of the times, the problems that have plagued women for thousands of years still exist.All kinds of constraints from the family society still suffocate them.Seeing Nie Xiaoqian bravely rise up against fate and gain freedom and love, female audiences have a deeper experience than male audiences.

Of course, the most essential part of the film is actually the tragedy.

The chapter "Nie Xiaoqian" in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" had a happy ending, but what was the result?
If this story hadn't been put on the big screen and adapted, perhaps not many people would remember this chapter at all.

So tragedy is the oriental aesthetics!Looking at those who are remembered and never forget, there are always more tragedies than happy endings.

This is also the essence of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Although Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen were rescued by Meng Yan Chixia, they escaped from birth but failed to find a lover and get married.

Although the two people of "Human and Ghost Different Ways" fulfilled their love, they still parted sadly. Ning Caichen didn't even get to see Xiaoqian for the last time.After Nie Xiaoqian was reincarnated, Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia continued to whip their horses away to the end of the world. Such a tragic ending is the embodiment of oriental aesthetics.

Fatalism and reincarnation have been enduring in my country's millennia-old culture, and no amount of human intervention can match the wheel of fate.As the saying goes, "sometimes in fate, there must be something in fate, and there is no time in fate, don't force it." Eastern fatalism, which emphasizes optimism and knowing fate, does not appreciate the Western saying that "fate is in one's own hands."Manpower may change the fate of Jincheng a little, but it cannot change the ending.Just like in "A Chinese Journey to the West", Monkey King travels through 500 years and goes against the sky several times, but in the end he still has to succumb to fate.Nie Xiaoqian also couldn't resist her own destiny.Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's unrequited love forever ends in the parting at dawn, which is the most profound picture that is remembered by people. Only the incomplete is beautiful.

The reason why Ning and Qian's love is so beautiful is because they are in such a dilapidated and chaotic world, they cannot help themselves, and they have no choice but to choose tragedy.Xiaoqian said to Ning Caichen that sometimes people are scarier than ghosts, and sometimes ghosts are kinder than people.Yan Chixia also said that the human world is too complicated, but demons and demons are black and white, and they can live freely.In the human world, there are swordsmen who are greedy for vanity, corrupt officials who are obsessed with money, and ant people who are ungrateful for profit. But there is no trace of human nature. In such an environment, the upright scholar is doomed are excluded, marginalized.In his solitude, he met Xiaoqian who was in the same lonely mood as himself, fell in love at first sight, and knew each other...

Nie Xiaoqian, an innocent soul in the mountains and wilds, has no one to rely on, "thousands of miles of soft soul, wandering with no one to rely on", helping the evildoers is not her wish, wandering between the world of mortals and the underworld, seeing countless people, most of them just want to be happy, only Ning Cai Chen, treat her frankly with a pure heart, and this kind of sincere love from the heart is what she, a lonely ghost, dreams of. Therefore, she sacrificed her life many times for her lover, regardless of her own safety... ...But they can't resist the reality after all, and they can't reverse the tragic fate.Chinese people admire the beauty of tragedy, walking in the fate of tragedy, the beauty of things can be fully displayed, and the love between Xiaoqian and the scholar is even more precious.
