Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The relentless mountains fill the sky, come alive at dawn and then appear motionless as the sun watches them for generations.
"How interesting, it will make them green again, and the houses and fruits will break up the green.
At dawn, every plant is a magical life, and the clouds have meaning.
??????? Past those hillsides, tumbling in the sky to the front. Like buildings in a city, do they make sense? They are all bare.
When a countryman goes there, he will feel as desolate as the emptiness of the sky. It's so ridiculous, as if city dwellers would walk on the rooftops. The city is like a barren land, with houses densely packed together. They rain water and then dry it in the sun, but there is not a leaf added to the lawn.
Covering the houses and stones with greenery, so that the sky has meaning, you need to sink your black roots deep into the darkness.
At dawn, the light will burst onto the earth, so powerful. The blood of everything will be more active, even in the body, making the veins so dark they look black.
At that time, the road traveled by those country people would have meaning.
Cesare-Pavese (cesare-pave color)

"I will never go crazy."
On the big screen, Rui was lying on the small wooden bed in the rough bedroom and murmuring. This gratuitous sentence fully expressed her mood at this time.
The silence in the Brown Bear Theater made it clear to the audience that they were falling into the abyss, and moviegoers began to see that viy's ideas had emerged. This was not the kind of movie with just one theme, it was made up of multiple aspects that were intertwined and portrayed persuasively. A region and a group of people, women's rights, growth, fighting against fate, etc. are all included in it.
"Looking at Rui's disillusionment, the invisible powerful force made her tenacity and unyieldingness become so small, so ridiculous, so frustrating
¡°It¡¯s not just the women who are fighting for women¡¯s rights who feel the same way, but all the people who are fighting for the hope in their hearts.
"You roar at fate and get beaten to pieces by fate. Then, where should you go?"
The image coldly changed scenes. Leaving the dark night and the shabby house did not allow the audience to take a breath, but trampled on every finger that was hanging on the edge of the cliff. Outside Jane's School during the day, Sonny and Harold were walking on the cement road with stern expressions. The over-the-shoulder camera showed them following two boys of about the same age in front of them.
"Cotton Milton! Catfish Milton!" the two boys suddenly shouted in unison, their voices filled with anger. The two boys had just turned around, and the two brothers had already rushed forward with fists in their hands, shouting curse words for the first time in the film: "You sons of bitches!" and "Fuck you!"
The two boys immediately raised their fists and yelled and rushed forward without any surprise or fear, "Fuck you bastard Dolly!"
The long shot captured the four boys fighting in a ball. Harold was knocked to the ground as soon as they faced each other. Sonny tried his best to block him with his fists, and the two Miltons beat him fiercely together. Harold got up and rushed towards him like crazy, his scream was like a heartbreaking sound.
In the school, a place that leads to the future, Rui led her two younger brothers who were further away from the wrong path and took the initiative to fight.
This may be the first time, maybe not, but it will never be the last.
Sonny and Harold have both changed.
The atmosphere in the theater became heavier and heavier, but the camera, as always, did not take this matter seriously. It did not explain who would win or lose in this fight, or how it would end. When the scene changed, I saw that the empty orange-red plastic bottle was covered by a His bruised hand took it from the bedside table and threw it into a rattan trash can filled with miscellaneous items. Apparently many days had passed.
Panoramic shot, in the open mountain area in front of Dolly's house, Rui is walking from the porch with the garbage basket in her arms. There is a large rusty iron bucket on the ground in the close shot, and there are two garbage baskets beside the bucket.
Her look was different. She was wearing a brown-green coat and faded jeans. She still had the same black combat boots, but her dress was missing. A close-up shot showed that her hair was disheveled, her previously shapeless face was better, her right eye and cheek were less swollen, and the wounds on her nose, mouth, etc. were scabbed, but her nose and face were still bruised and swollen.
Her eyes seemed harder and more numb.
With a few bangs, Rui poured the basket full of waste into the big iron bucket. During a few shots, she picked up an old and small goose-yellow children's dress hanging on the side of the barrel, lit it with a lighter, and threw the burning dress into the iron barrel. A thick black smoke suddenly rose.
She watched expressionlessly as her old dress and other things were reduced to ashes.
"Sweet Pea." Gail's voiceover sounded. Rui turned around and saw Gale walking from the side of the house. She was wearing a colorfulHe wears a darker brown-green jacket and jeans, and his reddish brown hair hangs straight on the back of his head. He is exactly the same as when he appeared on the scene, with no changes.
Gale¡¯s expression was calm, and his tone was the same: ¡°You¡¯re almost done, I¡¯m going back.¡±
"Go back?" Rui Wei frowned.
They are separated in a close shot of the single figure, as if they are in different time and space. Gail added, "Go back to the RV."
"Why?" Rui was anxious and helpless, as if he was saying that Freud was still a bastard, why should we go back and endure him and that kind of life
Galton remained silent for a while, looking into the distance, avoiding Rui's gaze. The way she put her hands in her pockets and her erratic eyes made everyone outside the screen see her confusion, sadness, and sadness. Only then did Gale say: "You have enough troubles yourself, I shouldn't stay here, and"
She sighed silently, her voice getting hoarse: "I have a baby, I can't raise him like this, no. Ned and I have to go home."
"Home?" Rui looked like she wanted to say something, but couldn't. "Do you really love him? Floyd?"
"I don't know." There was some pain on Gale's face, as if telling Rui to stop talking, Rui, stop talking about these bastards, just let her be numb and push on. She said with a slight tremor: "But I love Ned, I love Ned very, very much! Do you understand? He can't live without a father. Not here."
Rui looked away without saying anything.
The audience also fell into silence, with mixed feelings.
Alicia remembered Wei¡¯s words, should she blame Gail? A weak woman with no future? But in the face of the cruel reality, how can she be a feminist?
Who doesn¡¯t want to talk endlessly about the power of new women like the feminist stars, and be a seemingly flawless public idol, but can you? That's a city person's game, and you're so damn cool that you're not even a city person. Their femininity is a luxury product, just like their designer bags.
Gale is willing to do anything for her children. Isn¡¯t her patience strength?
There may be other better ways, there should be, but Gale doesn't understand. She is just a silly country girl. From her world view, she only knows that Ned cannot live without his father.
In this story, the characters in the friendly camp, regardless of whether they are men or women, all face the same choice: on the one hand, it is the affairs of their relatives and responsibilities; on the other hand, it is their own affairs, themselves.
Jesup died due to his responsibility, Connie ran away from her responsibility and went crazy, Ree was responsible for her mother and two younger brothers, Gale and Floyd were responsible for Ned, and Uncle Tear was responsible for the Ree family. A boy is responsible for Rui. Except for Freud, who chose self, everyone else chose responsibility.
If Gale chooses herself, throws Ned out of the RV, and leaves here alone to fly away, is she a feminist?
The so-called feminism should not mean that women become men. Of course, women must live with dignity and self-esteem, but women must also fulfill their biological and ethical responsibilities in a female way.
Women are not just women who can do the same things as men. Women who do what women can and should do are no worse than anyone else and deserve the greatest respect. Extreme feminism has given society an illusion, as if feminism is the complete opposite of traditional women, and even includes marriage, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and loving men and children.
It seems that it is something to be ashamed of. It seems that being a female bastard like April who plays with men and ignores babies is the right for women and the only way to live a noble, powerful and wonderful life.
¡°Even women don¡¯t do the part that they are supposed to do well. They have to compete with men to do the things that men should do well, and accuse women who are still doing women¡¯s things to prove that they are great. In this story, the symbol is that Rui wants to join the army. Betraying one's own nature will only create another kind of pain and emptiness, making this bullshit society even more chaotic.
Men and women have different natures, and everyone has a different self. However, protecting family members is the same responsibility. This is out of love.
Freud would choose to be irresponsible, but Gale would not. Women usually don't do that. They can sacrifice everything for their children, siblings, and family, and it's painful, but carrying it on their shoulders, they can take a breath every day without going crazy, so God has arranged for them to give birth.
Giving birth and raising offspring has long proven the ability of women. No matter what the circumstances, mothers and sisters, even if there is no man in the family, they can always raise their children and do their best to raise them well. They are indomitable. From ancient times to the present, women have not become powerful only after the rise of the modern feminist movement, but women have always had power.
This may be the greatest feminist power in the world, it is innate and does not need to be awakened.
It appears in everyone¡¯s mother¡¯s heart.
Feminism is not a??Luxury items.
Feminism is a natural instinct.
Gail used her power to make her choice, is there any other way? Regardless, she is a pathetic and hateful woman.
"I just think" On the big screen, Rui looked at the smoky iron barrel and whispered uncertainly: "It may not be what you think in the future."
"No one can say what the future will bring." Gale raised his hand to wipe away his tears. The wedding ring was so annoying and asked, "What are you going to do? Rui, have you thought about it?"
Double shot, Rui suddenly became more and more anxious and depressed, "I plan to join the army and get out of here." Gale, who was in the middle and close shot on the back right, was startled, "So?" Rui said in a low voice: "The blond Milton said he He and Songya want to take Sonny over and raise him for me but they will turn Sonny into something I don¡¯t want.¡±
"That's why they want a son." Gale also looked down at her toes. How could she let Ned become like that? He raised his head and asked, "What about Harold? Where's my aunt?"
"Harold doesn't like him, and so does mom." Rui said, picking up another garbage basket at her feet and pouring the full waste into the iron bucket. The sound of burning mixed with her words. : "I am going to take my mother to the lunatic asylum and put her at the door. After much deliberation, I have the only option. Then I beg Tears and Victoria to take Harold in."
Then Harold will grow into tears, make ice, sell ice, and suck ice, there is no doubt about it.
Gale shook his head slightly numbly, with no other solution, and said: "I hope things won't be like this, it's too bad"
"Do you think Floyd and his father are willing to buy my wood?" Rui turned around and looked at Gale, also confused: "If I have to sell it, I would rather sell it to you."
Gale said in a daze: "Let me ask, let me ask"
There was a sound of heartbreak outside the screen, and the faces in the audience were also stunned.
This road seems to have come to an end. Rui has lost and Gale has lost. They have fallen off the cliff and have knelt down to reality. Everything they hold on to and resist will be in vain, just like a little splash in the Dead Sea. In the end, no waves will be stirred up.
It¡¯s like burning waste in an iron barrel. The heat rises into the sky, the ashes scatter everywhere, and the stench fills the air for a while, and then disappears in the wind.
It¡¯s not that Rui doesn¡¯t want to protect her family, she feels powerless and has no choice but to accept the situation here, where men decide things, and if she wants to pursue herself, she has to become a man.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
Fans have other emotions. If ss and tlb are a process of gradual healing, giving birth to new hope out of despair; w'sb is a process of gradual destruction, and all hopes are proven to be doom in disguise, one after another. After the ground exposed its fangs, all that was left was the despair that could not be broken away.
You think it¡¯s over, but life pushes you into a deeper hell.
On the big screen, this scene ends with Rui and Gale looking at the iron barrel with thick smoke rising expressionlessly.
After the scene, it was night. In the living room of the broken house, Gale and her son could no longer be seen. Connie was sitting in the rocking chair by the fire, and Ruibao was sitting on the sofa opposite, looking through an old and dusty photo album. The two boys They sat on both sides of her and looked at each other. They all had hemostatic patches on their faces.
Inserting the lens, I saw that the album contained old photos that were somewhat damaged by moisture. They were of a man and a woman, their faces blurred, like Jesup and Connie when they were young. Connie was all wearing skirts, red skirts, blue skirts, and green skirts. At this moment, the hand flipping through the photo album stopped. In the large photo on the left, Jesup picked up Connie and was spinning around on the top of the mountain. The skirt of the gray-blue dress The pendulum floats high.
"Is this really mom?" Sonny whispered, looking at his mother opposite. When the camera goes by, Connie still looks like an old dead tree.
"Well, these men who are with her are all dads." Rui said, turning another page in the photo album. The photo on the left shows the two of them sitting at the dining table in the house. The table is covered with empty beer bottles and squeezed out beer bottles. Cigarette butts and a conspicuous stack of banknotes, their blurred faces must be smiling happily. The photo on the right shows a little girl in a skirt running by the fire.
Although this is not a good family, it was indeed happy.
Harold asked: "That's him? Did Dad have hair like that before?"
"Yeah, these are all his" Rui stopped talking, "The photos before he went in for the first time. His hair fell out later. You don't remember."
The audience can clearly see that there was a time when Rui was a child, probably after her family stopped raising pigs, and the Jesup family also joined the local family crime and made a little fortune. At that time, the Dolly family should be full of laughter and laughter.??, the couple thought they were going to be rich, Rui didn't understand, but she lived in happiness, like a little princess in the mountains.
Soon, Jessup was caught and imprisoned. Connie's affair with blond Milton apparently dates from that time. Everything has changed.
Rui turned another page, and on the left was a single photo of Zhang Jiesup. Next to the train platform, there was a man carrying a suitcase. Behind him was a train carriage with people coming and going. It was impossible to tell whether he was leaving home or returning. Home. Sonny said: "He was really young at that time." Rui said: "He is in his twenties in this picture, he seems to be."
She seemed to have lost interest. She quickly flipped through the photo album a few times and then closed it. She said softly with exhaustion: "It's time to go to bed."
The boys all screamed. Rui stood up with the photo album, looked down at them and said, "I'll say it again, no more troubles or fights, not now."
"When will that happen?" Sonny asked, and Harold frowned. They were all a little unconvinced, like wolves and tigers being asked not to eat meat.
"When the time comes, I will tell you" Rui drawled her voice solemnly and walked towards her mother opposite.
?Perhaps this time will come soon.
An aerial shot of the scenery appeared on the screen. In the dark night sky, no stars or moon could be seen. The cold wind stirred up sawdust and fire ashes on the hillside. A rotten tire hanging on the treetop beside Dolly's house was swinging unsteadily. The audience saw the lonely and depressing darkness, everything was dying.
"Wake up, girl, wake up." Tear's voiceover brought the camera to Rui's small bedroom. She woke up and looked at Uncle Tear on the right side of the bed. He was holding two shotguns, and the one in his left hand was throwing He hit Rui on the bed, and his whole body felt heavy: "If you don't wait any longer, let's go to their place and stab them and see what happens."
Rui sat up, holding the shotgun, turning around and walking out of the room with tears in her eyes.
The tense atmosphere once again enveloped the theater, and the rhythm of the images was fast. In a blink of an eye, they were outside a small roadside bar. Rui was sitting on the passenger seat of a dark green pickup truck and looking out the window. In the reverse shot of the side view, in the depth of the field, Uncle Tears was walking toward The bar with the neon beer sign.
The panoramic view taken with Uncle Tears became clearer. This was at an intersection in a rural town. The road was paved with old cement. There were only a few closed low-rise bungalows around the bar. There were six or seven cars parked in the parking lot outside. When Tears walked into the bar, the noisy background sound became clear, and the rumbling dance music was very violent. The moving camera followed Tears as he walked quickly. There were several scantily clad women dancing on the small stage, and drunken men. They were shouting and laughing.
"Ronnie the dog." He walked towards the group of men at the bar with tears in his eyes. They all looked at him one after another, but there was no movement. A short, fat man in the middle stood up and said, "Man, what are you doing here?" His tearful face was frozen with a fierce expression, "Fuck you, you are still pretending to be stupid."
The scolded bitch Ronnie suddenly became angry and said with tears: "I have never seen your brother! He may be dead, but I don't know where he is." The men on the left and right stood up one after another, but the bustle of the bar was still there. The bartender walked by with drinks and the dancers continued dancing. Everyone was used to this kind of scene.
"Really?" Tears didn't hesitate at all, and took a few steps forward, "You idiot, I've been on ice for several days, are you going to mess with me?"
"Listen, tears." Dog Ronnie seemed to be holding back. "There are six of us here. If you want to cause trouble, you are the one who will be beaten up. Just like Huo Kefuer's The girl beat that poor kid like that."
The tearful look in his eyes changed, and he slowly showed a smile, crazy and restrained, and the tattoo of three tears in the corner of his right eye was beating, making people shudder. He sniffed like a drug addict, then raised his right hand to wipe his nose and clenched it into a fist, "Ronniehasn't anyone told you what tone to use when talking to my tears"
"Hey! That's her, right?" Ronnie, the dog opposite, suddenly laughed. The men all looked towards the door, tears in their eyes.
With everything in the camera, Rui was standing not far from the door, looking around. Her eyes were fixed on the dancers, wondering what she was thinking. At this time, Uncle Tears strode past, grabbed her arm and walked outside, "Let you wait in the car." Rui said nothing.
The tensed nerves of the audience relaxed slightly, and the car door slammed. Rui, who was pushed into the pickup truck before he could sit firmly, walked toward the back of the car with tears in his eyes, then took out an ax from the truck bed and went to the back of the truck. Walk over to the bar. Rui, the passenger in the passenger seat, saw this and she shouted nervously: "Hey!"
With tears in her eyes, she grabbed the ax and walked to the row of cars in front of her. She stood there and looked at it for a few seconds, then picked up the ax with both hands, walked towards one of the white sedans, and slashed at the windshield! Bang! In the close-up shot, a big hole was cut out of the glass and it shattered.With tears in his eyes, he struck the ax again and again, bang bang bang!
Rui was stunned in the car. The reverse shot showed several men rushing out from the door of the bar. Ronnie yelled angrily from a distance: "Hey! Tears, what the hell are you doing!!!"
Bang! Tears struck another blow, causing the entire windshield to burst into pieces. Without saying anything, he slowly turned around and walked back to the pickup truck. Ronnie, the bitch in the back, was still shouting angrily: "You're dead! Son of a bitch, we won't just let it go, you're dead!!!"
Bang, bang, he threw the ax back into the car with tears in his eyes. Bang, he sat back in the driver's seat and closed the door. As he drove away, he said to Rui: "I don't like the tone of his voice."
Rui¡¯s face revealed a hint of a smile. The rare black humor in this film also made many viewers laugh, but then they became cold, like being blown by a strong wind. Although the temperature dropped, it was very painful. Is this how Sonny and Harold are going to live?
This strong wind became more and more fierce. The audience watched Rui with tears and went to the dilapidated cemetery in an old forest. She used a flashlight to search around for Jesup's bones, but could not find them. The scene changes, and the pickup truck is driving on an empty, car-free main road on the outskirts of the town. This is the best and smoothest road in the film so far.
But then the police siren sounded, and Tear continued to drive without hearing it. The siren became louder and louder. Rui frowned and looked back. Through the rear window, a car with flashing police lights could be seen approaching. Tears finally pulled the handbrake, the pickup truck pulled over and the driver's window slowly lowered.
The camera came to the back of the car, and it was the police officer named Baskin. He was wearing a military green police officer's coat and a smoky gray hat. The rotating and flashing police lights and bright headlights illuminated the road. Baskin walked towards the close-up view and said: "Tear, turn off the car."
"I don't want to do this." Tears' voice was deep, and his hand reached for a shotgun on the left.
Rui, who was on the left side of the frame, suddenly became nervous and stretched her neck to look back. From her subjective lens, she could see Baskin's figure outside the car continuing to walk. He said in a commanding tone: "Turn off the engine and get out of the car. Put your hands where I can see them."
"No." Tears calmly pulled the safety of the gun and sat motionless, "I will never do anything you ask me to do tonight."
The camera went outside again, and Baskin noticed something through the rear window. He stopped one step away from the driver's window, and slowly pulled out the pistol from the holster on his waist with his right hand. His expression could not hide his nervousness, and he even louder "Get out of the car, Harold, get off right now!"
This confrontation left the audience breathless. Undoubtedly, by now, it is clear who each of the main characters is, and Jesup, who has never really shown up, is also clear. But it¡¯s still unclear whether this man who seems to be a sidekick is a good guy or a bad guy.
Apart from being weak and incompetent, he seems to be a pretty good person.
"Who did you tell that the informant was Jesup?" Tears said suddenly. Rui next to him was immediately stunned, and the hearts of the audience also jumped. As the camera goes on, Baskin stands there dumbfounded, with a tearful voiceover scolding: "Which fucking bastard put a gun to your head? Who the hell are you?"
Baskin's face was blank, and he looked into the car in a panic. Rui in front took a shotgun, and from the rearview mirror of the car, he saw Tear holding another gun with a slight use. The sound of fingernails scraping against the metal gun handle
The camera returned to the car, and tears were looking at the rearview mirror outside the car. The gangster and the police were looking at each other.
Frontal mid-range shot, Baskin's momentum is fading rapidly, the pistol held in his right hand hangs down, and his voice is extremely weak as if he is about to cry: "I have given you an order in accordance with the law, that is His horse's legal orders"
The police officer cursed for the first time in the film, and he was so powerless. He was already enforcing the law and fulfilling his duties, but here, who would listen to him?
Who cares about the law?
"Fuck you, Baskin." Tears scolded coldly, as if stepping on the accelerator, the car started moving again. Rui sat there silently.
Frontal panoramic view, the pickup truck drove away from Baskin and exited the frame. He stood alone, his head slightly lowered in dejection, looking like he was about to cry. In the distant view from the back, the pickup truck has driven far away, but Baskin is still motionless.
There was also silence in the screening hall, and many fans sighed. It was no surprise that Baskin was also a complex character.
Maybe the speculation about tears is the truth. After Jesup was arrested this time, he was turned into an informant by Baskin in the police station. Therefore, even if someone wanted to get him out, he did not want to leave the prison. But he was eventually released on bail and was fine at first. April even saw him., he also talked about this with Tears. He may have also provided some tips to the police, until Baskin had a gun put to his head and said who the informant was, killing police officers was troublesome, and killing Jesup was trivial.
Now, Baskin has finally confirmed Jesup's predictable death.
To a certain extent, it can be said that Baskin killed Jesup. In the face of life and death, he did not choose the responsibility of protecting the informant, but chose himself.
He may have justice in his heart, but he is not willing to sacrifice. But who knows if he has any concerns? Other responsibilities? His family? wife? child? In such a remote mountainous area with a meager police force, it would take two hours for a person to drive to Dolly's house and call for backup on a mountain road. What can Baskin do?
He is just an ordinary person in a police uniform, not a superhero. This is what is sad and hard to hate about him.
After this tense confrontation on the screen, the scene returned to Dolly's house. Another day has passed, and the sunset has dyed the sky red. On the side of the house, Rui Zheng is walking towards the kitchen door with an arm full of firewood. The two boys are practicing punching, dodging and fighting with each other by the tire swing.
??The camera shows Rui working in front of the kitchen stove. She throws a squirrel carcass into the iron pot, making a sizzling sound. In the next shot, she was using a spatula to turn over the squirrel corpse in the pot. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a woman shouting: "Crazy girl, crazy girl!"
Rui¡¯s face froze and her hands stopped.
The side panorama outside the house shows the people of Hawkefer. The old woman, Megan and another stout woman are standing on the porch. They are wearing long coats and jeans of different colors. The door opened, and the three women were standing behind the door. Rui was holding a shotgun in both hands, and the muzzle was pointed at them.
"Come with us, we will help you solve your problem." The old woman was not afraid at all, did not take a step back, and did not panic at all.
"Now I want to shoot you to pieces." Rui said coldly, her finger on the trigger making a gesture.
"I know you want to do this. You are a Dolly, but you can't." The old woman remained unmoved. "Put down the gun and come with us. We will take you to find your father's bones." Rui Shishi Sneered: "Do you think I'm crazy?" The old woman frowned: "Then be smart, we know where it is. We don't want to hear those rumors about Huo Kefuer anymore."
Rui's eyes scanned slightly, "I haven't said a word to you."
"We know it, but everyone else is saying it," the old woman said.
At this time, two boys in the room came up behind Rui. They looked at the three women with very angry eyes, almost staring straight at them, as if they wanted to kill them. Rui's tone was undifferentiated: "Go back into the house, don't let me see you, let's go." They paused for a few seconds, then took a few steps back and stood not far away.
"I have to take this with me." Rui raised the muzzle of the shotgun, the vigilance on his face unabated.
"No, you can't take it." The old woman refused to give in. "If you want to find his bones, put down the gun and follow us." After saying that, she turned around and left, followed by Megan and the other two. later. Rui hesitated for a moment and said to the two boys, "I'll be right back as soon as I go." They looked solemn.
The tense atmosphere overflowed from the screen and filled the theater. The appearance of these women was sudden, but reasonable. Tears were causing trouble everywhere. The violent beating of a girl with backbone also affected Huo Kefuer's reputation on the road. They must have been instructed by Samp to let Rui find the bones and hand over the job, and the matter was settled like that.
Under the gaze of the audience, the image changed scene, and the car door slammed. Under the night sky, in a clearing beside the dense woods, a black pickup truck parked across the right side of the panoramic frame, with an old woman taking the lead. He walked into the woods on the left, holding a large and heavy flashlight, and another woman holding an orange chainsaw. Megan, who was lagging behind, pulled Rui to follow. Rui had a sack on his head, like The prisoners were taken to the execution ground.
This scene made those viewers who have read the original work feel heartbroken
During the camera cut, they were walking in the silent woods and walking on the winding mountain road. They arrived at a small stream that looked like a small pond. It was surrounded by overgrown weeds, and the lights and darkness barely made it possible to see the scene. They pulled Rui into a small canoe leaning on the shore, and Megan and the two paddled out with wooden oars.
There was no other sound except for the faint sound of cows croaking in the distance.
"Girl, you may know where this is." The old woman's voice-over connected the next scene. The small canoe slowly rowed in the water, and the old woman sitting in the middle ripped off the sack on the right side of the head, " If you know it, forget it, understand?" Rui squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, "Where is he?"
"He just?Here, an engine is tied down and sunk. "The old woman said calmly, shining the flashlight on the water surface, and the water surface with some water plants was rippled. In the close-up shot, Rui's face, which was still bruised, was expressionless. The old woman's voice-over said: "You stretch out your hand. Go down and pull him up. The dead will not be too heavy. "
Rui opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She reached out sideways and fished something out of the water.
"Go straight down, don't touch the sides like this." The old woman said, taking the electric saw from the woman's hand, "How about you do the sawing, and I'll fish it out."
"No, no" Rui murmured, her spirit getting lower and lower.
"You crazy girl, aren't you brave? If you act like this, we won't be able to finish it until dawn." The old woman scolded, "If you can't do it, just go away, we don't need you."
Rui didn't speak anymore. She leaned over the side of the canoe, stretched her arms straight to the bottom of the water, and almost fell into the water. The water surface was completely stirred, and she suddenly seemed to have caught something. Her expression became even more dazed, her eyes turned red, and she slowly lifted her arm up. A swollen and rotten man's hand was pulled out of the water, and appeared in the dim light. in the screen.
The audience's hearts were in their throats at this time. Without thinking much, the vibrating whine of the chainsaw resounded through the theater, drilling into everyone's heart and sawing away the last glimmer of hope.
This is a very cruel close-up shot of two people. Rui is leaning sideways and grabbing her father's hand. The old woman on the left is out of the picture from the neck up, and only her hands can be seen holding the roaring chainsaw as she goes there. Only the rotten hand was sawed off, and it was quickly sawed off, and bits of rotten flesh and bones splashed out and hit Rui's face.
When it was a close-up shot of a single person, her dirty face was covered with tears, and her mouth was trembling tightly to prevent herself from crying.
Many viewers almost vomited after watching this, not because of the blood and gore, but because of the greatest terrifying power, despair.
On the screen, Rui reluctantly stood up and handed the hand to Megan, who came to pick her up. At the same time, the remaining arm and body sank to the bottom of the water.
"Why did you let go?" the old woman scolded angrily, "I want both hands! Otherwise, the police officer will definitely say that Jesup cut off one of his own hands so that he would not go to jail. They know this trick. Hurry up. Pull him up again, quickly!"
The condensed atmosphere in the movie theater made it hard to breathe. Like a machine, Rui leaned down and reached out to fish out the other arm of her father's body in the water. The old woman drove the roaring electric saw and cut it off again, bits of rotten flesh and bones. Another splash hit Rui's face, which was filled with tears.
The father who never refused to hit her, the father who promised to come home as soon as possible with a big bag of cash and a car full of happiness, the father who was irresponsible but still tried his best
When Fushou was cut halfway by the chainsaw, the scene changed.
The audience cannot see how it was completely sawed off, how they left, how Rui returned home, and how she picked up the fragments of the heart that were also sawed into pieces.
It¡¯s fuzzy and restless, like a nightmare that will never end, ringing in my ears and lingering in my heart all the time.
No matter what the symbolic meaning of this hand-sawing scene is, watching a 16-year-old girl do this thing, how can a sigh be enough to calm the shock. At this point in the movie, according to the classical three-act structure, the long and tiring second act is over, and with less than 10 minutes left in the film, the equally fast third act arrives.
What will be the ending of this cruel story?
It was morning on the screen. On the dilapidated mountain road where Rui sent her two younger brothers to school, a police car parked on the left. Rui beside the car handed Baskin a bulging and wet sack. She had no expression on her face. , Baskin's face was tense, he took the sack, looked inside it, rolled it up tightly, stared at Rui and asked, "How did you find it?"
"Someone threw it at the door of my house last night." Rui said indifferently.
Baskin paused and opened one side of the police car door without asking, "I think I have to take it to the city quickly and let the forensic examiner see if it's his hand."
"It's his, my father's hand." Rui's voice was suppressed, and her expression could no longer suppress the hatred and disdain for Baskin.
"We'll find out soon." Baskin was about to get into the car when he suddenly stopped and said to Rui: "I didn't shoot that night because you were in the car. He never He contradicted me like that."
"I think he must have contradicted me," Rui said.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense everywhere." Baskin's words sounded both peaceful and cowardly. Rui said disdainfully: "I never bother to mention you, my friend." Baskin suddenly felt suffocated, and his voice became louder: "Sometimes I really fucking hate you country bastards! Do you know? "
He looked around, his face flushed.Hong said a little excitedly: "We could have developed tourism here, and everyone could have a decent life. But you destroyed the roads and prevented tourists from visiting. You would rather hide in the mountains and make ice! A bunch of idiots - force!"
Rui¡¯s face changed slightly, and she was stunned. It seemed that the words of the note were beyond the scope of her understanding, and she didn¡¯t know how to react.
"You know what the heck" she said after being stunned for a long time.
Baskin, who was about to get into the police car, stopped again. He turned around and said to Rui: "Girl, my last name is Dolly." His blushing face calmed down, and his tone was the same: "My wife and your mother were classmates in elementary school. , They are both from the Beaumont family. Do you think I have been fighting with your father and your uncle since we were children?"
Just as Rui was stunned, the audience was also shocked by this reasonable message.
What? Is Tiaozi also a Dolly?
"Your father" Baskin sighed softly, looked at the sack in his hand, and said: "Did you know that when he was young, he went to the oil fields in Louisiana to make a lot of money? Then he went to Texas to fight in black boxing? Finally Come back here with an injury? This old boy, Jesup, is actually not bad. What he wants to change is"
"How could it be?" Rui suddenly said, squinting at the police car next to him, "Have you become a police officer?"
"I have a sister." Baskin's voice was deeper. "She is exactly like you. She made me be."
Rui looked at him intently and asked, "How is she?"
"She died of AIDS very early." Baskin's plain tone was full of vicissitudes of life. "She supported me as a prostitute." He bent over and got into the police car and said: "Girl, don't do this. That. There's always something else to do, if you're willing to do it."
The sound of the car door slamming was followed by the sound of the police car engine starting. In the panoramic shot from the back, the police car bumped away on the rugged mountain road.
Frontal mid-range shot, Rui still frowns as if she can¡¯t figure it out, she¡¯s distracted and doesn¡¯t know where she went.
The huge impact of Baskin¡¯s words not only subverted Rui¡¯s cognition, but also made the audience¡¯s hearts beat fast. Many things became clear, why he drove the two boys, why he was able to persuade Jesup to be an informant He is not from the city, he is a country man who has gone out, but he still holds the hands of these mountains. ,forever.
He may not have much ability, but he is an idealist. He wants to change this place, and so does Jesup. They all failed.
The scene changed on the screen, and the audience saw an empty shot of the scenery again. The dark sky seemed to be about to rain heavily at any time. The birds returned to the mountains and the woods swayed, giving it a desolate beauty.
Rui folded her arms and leaned against the wooden pillars of the porch of the house, looking into the distance, just so quietly, as if admiring and thinking. The question she asked Gale, "What's the point of a good view?" obviously had an answer, and Gale asked her "Why didn't they fix the road?" There was also an answer. The country bumpkin here made a choice.
where? The film has not yet made it clear where the story takes place, but it does not say it is the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. This can happen in any poor place in any country, with that kind of environment, that kind of family, that kind of school, that kind of character, that kind of thinking.
Such ignorance.
Sometimes a certain area is poor. It is one thing that the local area is barren, and another thing is that the local area is ignorant.
This kind of stupidity, cruelty, and barbarism can make people destroy roads to block tourists, and prefer to make ice in order to make a fortune quickly; it can make people forget about work and think about robbing things all day long; it can also make people take things away from them. His own flesh and blood were crippled and made to work as child beggars.
But who a person is is not born or destined, but is created by growth. The same Dolly can be a drug dealer or a policeman.
Why is Rui ashamed because her father became an informant? She should understand now. Because she thinks about things with the ignorant thinking cultivated in this environment, educates her two younger brothers, and hopes to lead them out of this environment. Neither she nor Gale understood.
And Freud seems to understand that this is all caused by human psychology! Because the country folk don't understand the rules, life is difficult.
Rui warned her two younger brothers never to ride in a police car again. What if it was not as a criminal but as a police officer?
On the big screen, Uncle Tears¡¯ pickup truck arrived, and Rui stepped off the porch. With everything on camera, Rui walked out of the car with tears in his eyes and said, "The police confirmed that it was his hand. That's the end of the matter." Rui asked, "Baskin was also a Dolly?" He replied with heavy tears, "He is no longer. Rui was thinking about something and asked, "Has he had a sister?" Tears didn't want to answer, "What did he tell you?" Rui asked, "Is that true? He married a woman from the Beaumont family?" sayHe nodded and took out the marijuana cigarette and lighter to smoke.
At this time, two boys came over from the side of the house.
With tears in his eyes, he glanced at them and said to Rui: "They are getting bigger and bigger. It will cost a lot of money to raise them. I can teach you how to make money here."
"I didn't do the ice. Anyone who touches that thing will have no good consequences." Rui said without hesitation, her persistence is still there.
"Oh." Tears took a deep breath from the cigarette and exhaled for a long time. It seemed that if he didn't teach her how to make ice, there was nothing more he could teach her.
At this time, everyone noticed another car approaching from a distance, it was the high-end off-road vehicle. Sonny and Harold walked up to Rui. They both watched the SUV stop. The man named Mike Satterfield got out of the vehicle and came over carrying a bulging, dirty blue plastic bag.
"I know you, don't you?" Satterfield looked at the tears.
"Your father, Crick, protected my father before." He said with tears.
"Oh!" Satterfield didn't pay much attention. He handed the plastic bag to Rui and looked at her unhealed face. "It seems that you earned this money with blood. It belongs to you."
Rui took the bag in confusion. She glanced at it. The subjective camera showed that it was filled with crumpled banknotes. "Why is it mine?" she asked.
He was looking at the blue plastic bag with tears in his eyes. His expression changed and he walked away.
"The guy handed the money in Jesup's name, and he probably won't come back to get it, usually not." Satterfield explained, "We took a commission, and this is what's left, even if it's you Yes. This should be good news for you." He turned to leave, then turned around and praised with emotion: "I don't know how you did it, kid. Not many people can do it. You are very good. Have the ability.¡±
"It's just what life forces me to do." Rui's soft voice was filled with disappointment. His father's life was exchanged for this bag of money.
"Take care." Satterfield got in the car and left without saying anything.
Medium shot of three people, Rui hands the bag to Sonny's hand behind him: "Take it back." The two boys also looked very disappointed as they took the money. The metaphor of this scene is not obscure. Rui earns money to support them.
The tearful person in the close shot on the left side of the oblique panorama has an expressionless face and suddenly says: "I know who it is."
"Huh?" Rui, who was one step away from the distant view on the right, was stunned.
"Jesup. I know who it is." Tears said again.
Before her tears fell, Rui's face suddenly turned red, her eyes were red, and her mouth was trembling from crying. She opened her hands and hugged her uncle, holding him so tightly that she was shaking. She could no longer restrain herself from crying, and her sobs and sobs that she couldn't hold back but tried her best to suppress resounded throughout the screen and beyond.
Sonny and Harold both stood behind at a loss, their young faces trying to be determined.
Rui¡¯s first cry stung the marrow of every bone in the audience. Everyone already knew what it meant to know who the murderer was.
Tears just hugged Rui gently, patted her on the back, pushed her away, and turned around to leave. Rui gritted her teeth and swallowed her cry, raising her right hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.
During the editing period, with tears in his eyes, he walked into his pickup truck and drove away without looking back. The three siblings watched the car go away. Rui, who was sobbing, turned around and walked to the wooden steps of the porch to sit down. The two boys followed beside her. Harold sat down to her left, and Sonny put the bag of money on the porch. Go up and sit down to her right.
? Panoramic shot from the front, the dilapidated house almost occupies the entire frame. There is no sky, only the mud in front of the house, and the three people's feet are on the ground.
Rui, who was holding back her tears, raised her hands on her knees and wiped her tears. She blew her nose again with her right hand and threw it to the ground. She stretched out her foot to rub away the nose and wiped her hand on her left sleeve, still making a very loud noise. Low sobs. The boy tried to hold her hand a little uncertainly.
"We have this money, are you going to leave?" Harold asked softly. Rui turned to look at him and said in a hoarse voice: "Why do you think so?" Sonny looked at her and said lowly: "We heard you said about the army, that's a place we can't go. Are you going to Did you leave us?"
Rui turned to look at Sonny, motionless and silent, and stopped choking.
At this moment, the audience can feel the mood of the 16-year-old eldest sister. The money may be enough to settle her mother before she leaves, but if she leaves, who will take care of, discipline and support them? Who will work hard to make them grow into what she wants them to be?
In just a few seconds, Rui turned around and looked forward, speaking in a gravelly and calm voice: "No. I wouldn't have gotten lost without the pressure of you two on my shoulders."
The boy didn¡¯t say anything, and his expression didn¡¯t become active. He sat quietly with his eldest sister, both looking into the distance.
"Go down"?. Hadro said suddenly.
Rui¡¯s unhealed face seemed to have that tranquility again, and she said, ¡°Tomorrow we can build a snowman.¡±
The soundtrack sounded for the first time today in the silent theater outside the screen. The prelude to the ending song was Bob Dylan's "i-was-temptation-when-i-left-home". The music, like weeping, like the cold wind, like the passing of a freight train, reaches the hearts of every audience.
This desolate ballad is just like this movie.
Rui used her strength to make her choice and take responsibility, but she did not rely on anyone but herself. This is her feminist way.
On the big screen, Rui stood up and was about to stand up. She was a country girl who couldn't sit still for a while. At the moment when she was about to stand up straight, the ending song ended and the prelude began to sing. The screen cut to black, and the huge The gray text appeared like ashes. This time, the first thing displayed was not the director's list, but the online starring:

The audience in the Brown Bear Cinema had already stood up and applauded. No matter what they saw from this 107-minute video, at this moment, the audience was applauding non-stop, because of the incredibly superb performance, because of the pain in the heart, and because of the pain in the eye sockets. Moist, because of that indescribable emotion.
After the main creators passed by, the detailed credits continued to scroll from bottom to top, and the vicissitudes of singing also continued, as if it was Jesup's past, as if it was the future of Rui and others.
