"Those real and ugly things make up our real life"
I have read many film reviews written by teachers these days, and I forgot which article I saw this sentence: "The characters in the movie "Rain of the Day" are all too real, and very real and ugly." I deeply agree. .
Qiu Xue fell in love with Tian Gang for the classic purpose of "finding an honest man to live with". Tian Gang's attitude changed after learning about Qiu Xue's sexual experience. Cao Hao was instigated by Su Qi to kill Mo Sen and return to daily life. It reflects the complex and real human nature in this film.
To describe it with another comment that I think is very pertinent, it is:
"Each character here has one or two reasons why I don't like him/her. It's so realistic that it's disgusting. Just like my best friend and I both have small shortcomings that the other party can't understand at all. Being together for so many years depends on mutual tolerance and being blind or amnesia when necessary. Hey, this is probably human nature."
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough, yes, this is a human being (laughs).
In addition to the characters themselves, "Rain of the Day" also contains many plots that make people both recognize and feel uncomfortable.
There is a gap between drama performances and real life after all. For example, we will write in the script that a person is very bad, commits murder, arson, and commits crimes, but we will not deliberately shoot close-ups of him defecating and spitting everywhere. It is also like us I can write a story about a comic character wailing when he goes to the toilet and realizes that he has no paper, but generally he won’t write about him having a stomachache and squatting in the pit.
The above is a tasteful description, right (laughs). So everyone should be able to understand why "this kind of plot" is avoided in film, television and drama works. First of all, it is unnecessary, and secondly, it does not conform to the proper aesthetics.
But Day Rain breaks this unwritten rule.
Moson was tortured by his abnormal spirit and went crazy at the subway entrance. The white-collar workers passing by saw this and casually exchanged some nonsense with the friend on the other end of the phone (not derogatory or insulting language, just said "There is a strange person"). "people"), so he was targeted by Mawson, who followed him all the way until he broke into the house with a knife.
The ensuing attempted rape scene was extremely uncomfortable, but the discomfort was not only the act of rape itself, but also the bloody sanitary napkin that was stuck to Mawson's underwear when he tore off his white-collar clothes.
I still remember that when the big screen showed this part, the audience below was completely silent.
To put it quite offensively, rape scenes often play an important role in dramas. It is a relatively common way to express "so-and-so's temperament has changed drastically", "so-and-so has been seriously injured", or simply to express stimulating scenes. The audience provides the means to process the shock.
Therefore, there are usually two ways of expressing this kind of "sexual" scenes. The first is to pass by briefly and explain the "results after the incident"; the second is to show a small amount of the process, create sensory impact, and mobilize the viewer. emotions of excitement or disgust.
To put it more bluntly, everyone thinks that what they are about to receive is "plot information" about rape that is fictitious, deduced, expressed by the creator with foreshadowing purposes, and the "information" only needs to be instilled and accepted. Enough, it aims to make the audience "informed" and know that such a thing happened, that's all.
But "Day Rain" is different.
It nakedly shows sanitary napkins, even bloody sanitary napkins being used.
Let me give you another offensive analogy. This is like the hero and heroine having a child. What everyone wants to see or expect to see is the heroine working hard to give birth to the child and becoming a happy mother, or she dies in childbirth and promotes the subsequent plot, but Few people want to see the bloody delivery process of the heroine, and not many people want to see the incisions, amniotic fluid and stretch marks.
Because dramatic expression is idealistic, it itself conflicts with reality and truth.
It is precisely because of this that "Day Rain" gives people strong real stimulation when it reveals the "unbeautiful" details that exist in reality.
After all, almost no one - and I'm sorry, even some of the small movies you watch are not shot this way - would know, understand, or expect that during the process of rape, the victim will menstruate.
So Mawson's disappointed look was so, so real and ugly.
A bloody sanitary napkin changed the nature of the rape scene that was supposed to be "plot information" and stripped it of all the dramatic color it carried. It also changed what the audience received from "fictional information required by the plot" to "fictional information required by the plot". real cases of violations of moral laws,” which are often uncomfortable and avoided.
There are indeed too many designs in "Daytime Rain" that are unexpected, but when you think about it carefully, they are so real that they are vulgar, earthy, and ugly.
For example, during the fight between Mawson and the patrolman, the patrolman grabbed Mawson's hand so hard that the kitchen knife in his hand flew out and fell to the ground. After the two of them fell together, Mawson got down on all fours and crawled like a wild animal to pick up the murder weapon.
It's really... it's rare to see such an unbearable fight scene (praise).
Too ugly, too low, and therefore more realistic. Because reality is like this, there are many things that are not beautiful or handsome at all.
Another example is the key to Mawson's counterattack: chopsticks.
Before Cao Hao and Su Qi came to the door, Mo Sen was still eating a box lunch. The food was fishy, and the meat dishes contained fish, so the disposable chopsticks Moson used were "pointed chopsticks." The tops of these chopsticks are much sharper than the common round-headed chopsticks. They are specially designed for picking fish bones. Some of them are When the store takes away the food, it will replace it with the corresponding chopsticks according to the dishes ordered by the customers. This is a premise that most viewers have not noticed.
Later, Cao Hao and Mo Sen fought, and the coffee table was overturned, sticky food was scattered everywhere, and the chopsticks rolled down nearby, making a mess.
Then, Cao Hao used a shovel to suppress Mo Sen. Mo Sen caught a glimpse of chopsticks out of the corner of his eye. His judgment method was very animalistic, simple and direct. "As long as it is sharp, it is a weapon," just like a kitchen knife or chopsticks.
So, Mo Sen grabbed the chopsticks and pierced the side of Cao Hao's face with it.
Apart from anything else, the close-up of Cao Hao's cheek flesh being deeply pierced by the chopsticks really makes people grin. For a moment, they have visual hallucinations such as the toothpick sticking into the gums when picking teeth, and the zipper being pulled up to get stuck on the chin and feet. My little finger hit the cabinet leg, my hand holding the blade slipped while shaving, and when I put my legs down, I was pricked by the edge of the metal keyboard drawer under the computer desk, and so on.
Pretty real life pain... right.
In fact, if it were any other film and television work, here Mo Sen would use at least a pen, a hairpin or something in a hurry. There is no special reason, just because they are more "dramatic", or more direct, and appear more interesting. Strong style.
But "Daytime Rain" goes in the opposite direction. The ubiquitous chopsticks become a weapon for Mo Sen to fight back.
A similar "weapon" is the jump*. In the pre-plot, it is just an adult prop bought by Tian Gang. Its function is to express the plot of "Tian Gang was still reserved and shy in the early days, but later he learned that his girlfriend had rich sexual experience and developed these vulgar tricks."
Unexpectedly, when Mo Sen and Tian Gang were fighting back and forth at the end, this little thing actually became a handy "weapon". The scene where Tian Gang strangles Mo Sen with his rope is really... ridiculous. I can't even tell what my expression was at that time. Maybe it was because I was sweating.
In such a tense and exciting fighting scene, jumps suddenly appeared, and Tian Gang was still using this thing extremely seriously to fight Mo Sen. It was such an unexpected call back and it was really embarrassing.
I echoed that sentence again, reality is like this, bloody, absurd, ugly, and ridiculous.
