How to evaluate the movie "Destiny"
, 1. The banana wallpaper at the beginning of the film refers to the "jungle", paving the way for the "beast" that follows.
2. A car carrying tomatoes fell on the side of the road, and Dahai was tossing one in his hand. The collapse of the system has led to irrational distribution of the red fruits of labor, and people like Dahai can only get one. The people lying on the roadside are self-explanatory.
3. Wearing a bull hat and riding a tiger-skin motorcycle on Wednesday, Zhou Er met Tiger Dahai. This intertextual technique was used many times later, including Wednesday’s encounter with Han Sanming, Wednesday’s encounter with Xiaoyu's lover, Xiaoyu meets a cow, and the TV that Xiaoyu watches mentions animal suicide and so on.
4. Dahai stared at the passing police cars at the entrance of the village. He concluded that the government and businessmen were colluding and hoped that the village chief and Boss Jiao would reveal the incident.
5. At the crossroads with a statue in the village, Dahai emphasized twice to passers-by, "This is it!", but after three turns, there was an oil painting, which highlighted the gap between the rich and the poor in the local area.
6. When Dahai was chatting with the coal miners, he said that everyone had a share of the village chief's A6, and told the village chief that he was going to report it. Both of them responded that he was born in the wrong era. What era does a man like him who wears a military coat and has the spirit of fighting against the local tyrants belong to?
7. Driving a carriage uphill without going back is a personal symbol of Jia Zhangke. It was used once in "Ren Xiaoyao" and represents Dahai's self-perception: being enslaved and exploited by others.
8. The characters here are basically copied from Ah Q.
9. The return of the coal boss was designed to look like a state visit by the head of state, causing farmers to question the "leaders".
10. "Lin Chong" stood on the stage in the village. After the villagers shouted "Lao Gao", two stages actually appeared on the screen. The hero Lin Chong stood on one side and compared with the sea on the other side. The villagers gloated about his misfortune. The contrast is even more intense with the gesture of watching the play. This is a stroke of genius.
11. Dahai picks up the gun. The portrait of a tiger is reflected in the mirror, and he goes out carrying the gun wrapped in the tiger flag. The animalistic side of Dahai shown here is still false and not really in him. After killing the accountant and his wife and a member of the village committee who laughed at him, Lao Gao, Hu Qi disappeared and Dahai's bestiality became real. When killing the village chief, he deliberately made the village leader turn into an open space behind him so that he could be shot away by the gun. Dahai began to look for a greater pleasure of revenge. This was also the reason why he focused on the boss and shot his head later. After killing the village chief and then the driver, he felt that he had eliminated the people who enslaved him.
12. When Zhou Er returned home, he faced a sense of distance from his relatives and friends. His son would not call him, and he pinched his son's face to express his desire for care and recognition.
13. Wednesday expressed disdain for his elder brother’s careful calculation and the fierce competition of the people around him. He is using greater violence to obtain greater benefits.
14. There were tomatoes on the table at home on Wednesday.
15. The scene from entering the hardware store to observing the environment and preparing for the robbery is composed of four short long shots. The sudden camera switch when shooting creates a tense atmosphere. Wang Baoqiang's performance is very textured. This section also has the feel of a Korean crime film.
16. I was riding a motorcycle out of Chongqing on Wednesday. The cow in front of me was tethered, which seemed to say that Wednesday’s situation was beyond my control.
17. When Xiaoyu returns to town, there is a slightly surreal scene of the snake beauty, mainly to pave the way for her to find spiritual comfort after being beaten. The projection of "Green Snake" in the snake foot washing city on the road is to strengthen the image of Xiaoyu as a snake.
18. The toll collector is Xiao Wu, who has gained a lot of weight.
19. Xiaoyu is washing clothes in the box with banana wallpaper, creating the image of a snake hiding in the grass.
20. Opening the door several times, being pushed down several times, standing up, being asked for money several times without avoiding it. This is also one of Jia Zhangke’s symbols. It also appeared in "Ren Xiaoyao", when the dancer Zhao Tao got up to go out and was raped by his lover. Press and hold. Show female stubbornness.
21. Xiaohui smoked a cigarette before the train arrived at the station. He felt constrained by the social system, so the system that he later devoted to the dark side seemed to go with the flow. In the changing room, Lianrong tied the restraints on him again.
22. Xiaohui and Lianrong serve as current commentators, and their comments on popular events are all "TMD". They are confused and unique to young people. Pretending to be angry towards the outside world is actually a gesture of resistance.
23. The rainy car created a space that is isolated from the outside world. Li Meng, who looks like a mix of Wu Qianlian and Zhou Yun, acted very well, playing a young lady who is very innocent.
24. The monotonous and repetitive electronic sounds in the factory dormitory, and the people in the same dormitory have no communication. They move to the empty dormitory area, and then to the monotonous workshop work, which provides a background for jumping off the building. Family conflicts are internal causes, and threats of violence are the trigger.
25. Xiaoyu went to Shanxi to make a living. Using silk scarves as sand in the wind is also Jia Zhangke’s personal symbol. It also appeared on the dancer played by Zhao Tao in "Ren Xiaoyao". It is the embodiment of women's awareness of self-protection. This is mentioned by Jia himself in the DVD highlights of "Ren Xiaoyao".
26. The question "Do you know your guilt" at the end of the film was addressed to all the audience in the audience. The repeated question actually pointed out the huge injustice involved.
