"Alang's Story" is a literary film, but this literary film has created a lot of popularity.
All controversies are topics.
"Alang's Story" is certainly controversial.
In fact, the controversy is not small.
Although this point avoids many poisonous points in the plot, and although Chen Weijie's personal charm adds a lot of color to the character, it is irrefutable that the male protagonist A Lang is indeed a scumbag.
Moreover, the era in which "Alang's Story" appeared in this world is different from the era in which this film appeared in the past.
For many male film critics in "A Lang's Story", the focus is on the character of A Lang.
Some say he is a model for men, others say he is a representative of a prodigal son who cannot turn back, his growth, etc., etc.
But for female film critics, their focus is obviously different.
The famous female film critic Liu Fang specially prepared a review to interpret this film from a female perspective.
In this era, the status of women can be said to be completely different from that in the 1980s and 1990s.
No matter how much "A Lang's Story" is said, it seems that Bobo is the heroine, but it is still a man's drama. Otherwise, the title of the movie would not be "A Lang's Story" but "A Lang and Bobo" story".
Back to business.
This female film critic has always been known for her unique perspective. In this world where male movies are the mainstream, she is always able to observe and criticize movies from a female perspective.
This time is no exception.
"There are many movie reviews on the Internet about "Alang's Story" that talk about a boy's growth history, or a man's heroic plot, or the prodigal's 360° stunts. I'm sorry, as a woman, I really can't bear to listen. What is the story of the prodigal son? What are you willing to do in order to fulfill the legend of the prodigal son? Are you willing to turn into a living archway of an infatuated goddess? Or what is the bloody story? There are always bad boys who cut through our youth like a blade!
I don't understand why so many people only pay attention to the male protagonist A Lang, but ignore the female protagonist Bobo?
It’s true that Alang’s ending as a prodigal son is tragic, but shouldn’t Bobo be the more tragic one?
To be honest, I have always been anti-mainstream when it comes to the aesthetics of the opposite sex. I don’t like any mainstream good men - such as Chen Weijie, because Chen Tianwang has a fake smile on his face, but at first glance he is full of bitterness. This is a hidden bitterness. He is a Phoenix male idol, so any man of the opposite sex who regards him as an idol around me will be simply and crudely classified by me as a boring man.
I have never been able to get his handsomeness, and I feel that in the face of such male chauvinism, no matter what kind of girl she is, she will become a sad symbol - the woman that the eldest brother loved, tut, tut, tut, she cried and cried from the beginning to the end when she looked at the appearance. .
However, as I get older, I start to get all kinds of good things from these mainstream handsome men.
"The Story of A Lang", when it is difficult to hide his belly, half of his hair is gray after shaving it short, and he is unable to hide his middle-aged fatigue, he is even afraid of crying to the point where he only dares to hide his face and cry quietly, an old handsome guy who is full of helplessness and compromise with life. Chen Weijie, when he was acting so cute and awkward, I suddenly understood why Chen Weijie was once the dream man of thousands of girls.
Many male compatriots believe that what really impresses girls is that they are special men. It is best to be like a spiritual father, always strong, like a big tree with strong roots, only then can he attract countless girls. To be honest, that kind of aesthetics can only It's just the kind of beautiful person who hopes to find a man to support her and live a life of being a beetle. What really impresses a girl who has a soul equal to that of a man is a little bit of timidity outside of the perfect lover persona. For example, when we are in our 20s, we will accidentally see the cool and awesome school sweetheart but also act in various childish ways. Playing cool in secret or unable to hold back tears, a truly strong girl will like someone of the opposite sex because of her potential motherhood. Unfortunately, there are too many stupid straight men who can't look away. Fortunately, on this planet, the number of human beings Huge, there are always all kinds of silly and cute soft girls to match them.
In fact, movies like "A Lang's Story" are not my cup of tea, but after watching it carefully, I understand that this is indeed a very different movie, but what is still difficult to understand is that the focus of everyone's attention seems to be It has always been about Alang, but Bobo has never been seriously mentioned.
In "A Lang's Story", what made me collapse and cry was that the daughter of a rich family was kicked out. She hugged her head and cried at the door of her house. Her little lover A Lang said, "Don't cry, Bobo, let's go." At this moment, as A Lang, he actually doesn’t care. He thinks this is better. He can sleep with Bobo openly and openly. It’s very sad. This is what makes us sleepless at night, so entangled that we can’t eat, and love with our own future. Men will always think of themselves first. It is difficult for them to see a woman giving up the sorrow of her family for love, because if the identities were reversed, how many men would fight against their families for a woman?
Looking at the current conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we can see that the world is not worth it, and shallow creatures like men are not worth it. Even in such a scene, if the male protagonist is kicked out of the house because of the woman, the perfect female protagonist will probably kneel down immediately and do all kinds of things to herself, hoping to help this person in her heart return to her family. Unfortunately, in too many film and television works, the director They are all stupid straight men. They have never really seen a woman, a woman's true soul and thoughts.
The second thing that made me upset was that the pregnant Bobo went to find Alang. When he went to deliver the meal, he saw the child's father making out with a girl, so he threw the lunch box away, went home and made a fuss about leaving, and then the man came back and was lazing around. After a few words of coaxing, he took action. Please pay attention to Alang's words at that time, "I make money to support my family, and you still dare to hit me."
You see, this is the truth about the love a man can give. Although domestic violence is only a small probability event, no matter how gentlemanly or perfect a man is, there is almost no man who is not proud of making money to support his family. They have never seen a woman What kind of life has been given up to have children, and how much labor has a woman put in to maintain a warm home. So I always advise my female colleagues in the real world to go out and make money, because no matter how difficult it is, at least When the man you love, the father of your child, says something like "I make money," you can straighten your back and say, "I can support myself." When he no longer cherishes your love and cares about your family, you can Leave in style and take our beloved apple-faced angel with you to live a decent life together.
Then Alang reunited with his ex-wife Bobo after a long absence due to domestic violence. All he wanted to do was get back together. Therefore, he didn't feel any remorse to tell Bobo directly that he had a marriage history with Bobo in front of Bobo's decent gentleman fiance, and that Bobo was Bobo's biological son. Do you see, this is the love of men. First of all, considering the nature of possessing more females left over from primitive society, few men will think that their spouse is an independent person first. Behind the pampering is actually one's own possessive heart that cannot bear to think about it - women are one's own private property.
So, I was thinking about how a silly girl with deep roots and little feet in her heart can fall in love with a prodigal and only love bad boys. If she just enjoys beauty purely like a man hunting for beauty, if this can be considered love, I I would rather castrate myself mentally and become an unintentional scumbag.
Therefore, although the ending of "Alang's Story" is tear-jerking, it is undoubtedly fatal. Because the sad thing is that the director of this movie is a male director, so he hopes to create a tragic figure of a stranger (silly) hero (cross), and the awakened female audience cannot accept the grown-up calm Bobo, and again Go back to the old ways, give up my fiancé who has the same views as me for the apple-faced angel, and go find A Lang, a rough man who thinks that beating his wife is nothing. Moreover, as a middle-aged person, I think about it horribly, Alang's prodigal son turned back because life was too hard. He was alone with a child, no money and no time to do anything. If he had Bobo's financial blessing, this man would sleep with all kinds of passersby and women along the way. Therefore, no matter how dead he is, the old friend in tears will at least never be disillusioned, right? "
Liu Fang's film reviews have received high recognition from female audiences. After all, this is the most controversial aspect of the film.
Alang has never been a good man, and Bobo has always been the one who was hurt.
From the beginning, to the middle, to the end, Alang chose to use his life to prove his repentance. Isn't it actually another injury to Bobo?
】
Of course, there are also many people who don't like Liu Fang's extreme behavior.
Soon, film critics used film reviews to refute Liu Fang's views.
“I saw this review by chance and I felt unhappy.
From a female perspective, it is understandable for you to criticize Alang for domestic violence and cheating. However, I disagree with you saying that Alang regards Bobo as his private property.
There's a long-standing myth about two people meeting each other, and it's about people and time, about meeting the right person at the wrong time or the wrong person at the right time, and so on. It sounds like the situation is complicated and changeable, but in the end it is very simple. The so-called time is nothing more than whether you are married or not; the so-called person is nothing but love or not.
First, let’s take a look at the pairing of Alang and Bobo. When Alang and Bobo met, both of them were unmarried. They should be attracted to and loved each other. So there's nothing wrong with this, right?
You said that Alang doesn't care, but it's also just your imagination!
If he doesn't love, how can he feel guilty?
If he didn't love, how could he make that choice in the end?
It is impossible to say that if Bobo's economic conditions support him, this would not exist, because Alang has never been that kind of person from beginning to end.
When he is with Bobo, you can say that he has a prodigal mentality, you can say a thousand words and ten thousand, but please remember, this has nothing to do with how much money Bobo's family has, or whether Bobo has money!
Even if they meet again ten years later, Alang has never thought about this.
So don't insult it all with money.
Let’s talk about A Lang’s death. The so-called stranger hero is also untenable. Can A Lang not die?
I think even the director can't imagine that a down-and-out libertine and a wealthy and beautiful lady from a well-known family can reunite and start a family and be happy...
So the so-called right and wrong are not only related to time and love. The power of the world is always stronger.
Alang's death was right, maybe it was the only right thing he could do.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that people who break through the so-called worldly forces and stay together for love are always touching. What touches me is not that they can break through the worldly power, but that they can be together - coordinating the differences and gaps between the two is by no means an easy task. It may require the two to make some compromises with each other, or at least one of them People need to change. But at this time, is she/he still the same person?
In "A Lang's Story", A Lang is a prodigal son, and the prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold, but the prodigal son did not look back, but Bobo did not look back.
When young, it is easy for a woman to fall in love with a prodigal son. Because the prodigal son has no fear of heaven and earth, is not bound by the world, dares to love and hate, is handsome and humorous, free and cute.
Compared with the prodigal, most of us are just mediocre in the world. We are submissive, we easily compromise, we are selfish, and in the end our lives are the same, repeating the same things every day, and only living one day a year.
What is sad is that such a life is actually defined as a happy life by the world.
If you make a mistake in a computer game, you can go back. Can you go back if you make a mistake?
Alang worked as a worker on a construction site. When he met Bobo ten years later, his love for her was still there. At this time, he had lost his way, but Bobo did not hate him and would never love him again.
A prodigal son may not be able to change his fortune, and a broken mirror cannot be reunited.
Returning to the male and female protagonists, the so-called right and wrong, as both parties involved, it seems that we should put the responsibility entirely on Alang. In fact, everyone is the same, because everything is caused by him.
However, upon careful analysis, we should see that both of them acted improperly.
Just like ten years later, when both men realized the mistakes they made in their youth, they each regretted their mistakes.
Bobo said, "I was young and ignorant at that time."
Alang said, "People really can't do wrong things. If they make mistakes, they will never be able to turn over."
Bobo's confession is that he regrets his blind impulse of love when he was young. Because of his impulse, he destroyed his beautiful youth and his future happiness. Girls are always full of fantasies about love, imagining love in an extremely dreamy way, and immersing themselves in the phantoms created by their hearts all day long. It is precisely because of this fantasy of love that they do not use their brains to think about problems, but follow their feelings. But sadly, practice often proves that feelings are mostly inaccurate.
Alang's confession is more about self-blame for his current miserable situation. Because he was a wild man when he was young, which caused him to lose his beloved woman and served two years in prison. After he was released from prison, he had to take care of his children while working hard to make money to support his family. , his youth was wasted day by day in this trivial daily life.
Alang and Bobo could have enjoyed their youth beautifully, but due to their youthful ignorance and wildness, their youth was destroyed, and their youth was far away from them. Men should bear more responsibilities in love, because the tragedy of love often hurts women more, and women are not without any responsibility. At least they should learn to protect themselves and cherish themselves. We always say that a mature man must know self-discipline, and a mature woman must know self-love, but people must experience it before they can become mature. This is true for men, and the same is true for women. Of course, it is precisely because of immaturity that they are so Many stories happen. "
