An Analysis of several characters in Fanghua

This article is mainly for those who have seen the film. I will discuss the characters and some interesting details with you.

When I saw Fanghua for the second time, I was just as excited and moved, and my eyes were wet with tears many times. However, this time, I have a new examination of the characters in the play, and I also have a different insight and understanding of the details of the film.

He Xiaoping and the four military salutes she has honored

These four military salutes are exactly the four turning points in he Xiaoping's life. He Xiaoping's first military salute was when Liu Feng picked her up and told her not to reveal in front of people that her father was a reform-through-labour worker. He Xiaoping saluted Liu Feng with gratitude. Liu Feng patiently helped her correct her movements. From this day on, she gloriously became her coveted literary and art warrior, thinking that from then on she began to extricate herself from suffering and get close to her ideal life. The second time was in the dormitory when Xiao Suizi introduced her roommate Hao Shuwen, she happily saluted her, but was jokingly called monkey playing. Since entering this dormitory, female soldiers and male soldiers have discriminated against and bullied the girl, which is the second period of darkness in her life; the third gift is when Liu Feng was sent down to the logging company to bid farewell at the door of the art troupe. She solemnly saluted an extremely standard military salute. This military salute not only includes her understanding and orientation of life, secularity and people, but also includes respect, admiration, pity and admiration for Liu Feng, as well as the insurmountable gap between the two. The fourth gift is that during the performance of condolences to the cavalry on the plateau, when the political commissar sounded with incisive words and a resounding slogan to learn from he Xiaoping, he Xiaoping, who evaded the performance in retaliation for the secular world, was deeply infected by the atmosphere and excitedly saluted the audience and devoted himself to the dance performance. However, after the performance, she was sent to work as a nurse in a field hospital. I remember she never saluted again.

In addition to the cruelty of war, the depression of life and the hopelessness of love made her collapse even more.

Let's talk about why he Xiaoping is crazy. From the age of 6, when her father was sent to reform through labour in Xinjiang and her mother remarried, she began a repressive life. Her stepfather and younger siblings often bully her. When I got to the army, I thought things would change and life would get brighter, but the new bullying began again. The smell of sweat on her body, the fact that she stole a Linding uniform to take photos, and the unwarranted incident of rubbing a sponge breast pad nailed her firmly to the pillar of shame, which was laughed at and despised by others. Her partner also disliked her and didn't want to dance with her. I think since Liu Feng, despite her waist injury, insisted on being her dance partner and saved her self-esteem in the eyes of everyone, he Xiaoping's love for Liu Feng began to sprout. When the news of her father's death came, only Liu Feng had been comforting her, enlightening her, warming her, letting her play down her grief and releasing a little pressure. By this time, she should have begun to rely on Liu Feng. But Liu Feng is a typical character, honest, kind, excellent and unattainable at the same time. It was not until the Liu Feng incident was sent down to leave the art troupe that she began to put down the idol burden of the other party, faced the fiery love in her heart, and tried to approach Liu Feng, but finally did not have the courage to express her love.

At the rear of the battlefield, he Xiaoping replied to the 16-year-old wounded soldier that she had an object, the best and best person in the world, better than Lei Feng, and she was not worthy of him. Obviously, it is Liu Feng that he Xiaoping is talking about. From this, I conclude that the reason for crushing the last straw of he Xiaoping's spirit is that, in addition to the oppression and grievances she has suffered all the time, as well as the jump and turning point of the excessive role in life, there is also a very important reason. Every day, in the face of bloody wounded soldiers and the tragic remains of martyrs, she is particularly worried about the safety of her sweetheart Liu Feng. The little soldier who was burned died, and so did the person who talked to her the second most (Liu Feng, of course). I guess he Xiaoping suppressed herself deeply again. After the war, she became a hero, but there was no news from Liu Feng, and he Xiaoping finally collapsed. So that when Liu Feng, who lost her right arm, came to the hospital to see her, her eyes were fixed at the person in front of her, but it seemed like a dream. What is gratifying is that because he Xiaoping heard the familiar music and saw the stage she had not seen for a long time, she re-started the dance of her favorite things in her life. in the familiar scene, she gradually woke up, and many years later, Liu Feng finally became a dependent partner with her.

That's all for he Xiaoping, and let's move on to Hao Shuwen.

Hao Shuwen and the incident of rubbing sponge chest pad

Now let's talk about my conjecture about this. To tell you the truth, I didn't understand this stem for the first time. I feel that the owner is definitely not he Xiaoping, but I don't know who it is. I thought it was just an unimportant person, so I didn't explain it later. When I watched Fanghua for the second time, I paid attention to the scene at that time. And I found a few small details. First, Hao Shuwen proudly showed her breasts in the dressing room, and others flattered her. But the camera skimmed across her chest, and the size was not prominent. Then the camera scanned the breasts of Lin Dingding and Xiao Suizi, both of whom looked bigger and straighter than Hao Shuwen's. Today's Feng Xiaogang, his film works can not have superfluous, meaningless scenes. So I think this is a foreshadowing for rubbing sponge chest cushions. The person who cares most about big breasts and small breasts is Hao Shuwen! In the plot of catching stolen goods, everyone tore at he Xiaoping's clothes, searched for her belongings, and searched for sponge chest pads. Here the camera scanned the breasts of female soldiers several times, and I was surprised to find that there was something obviously under Hao Shuwen's tight underwear. I suddenly confirmed my previous guess that sure enough, the sponge breast pad belonged to Hao Shuwen. As the female soldier said when teasing, the stitches are very rough and should be made in a panic when people are not paying attention. It is also possible that Hao Shuwen has not done much work, so the stitches are particularly thick. Hao Shuwen seems to be careless, but in fact she is a witty bitch. Began to be proud of the children of senior cadres, domineering everywhere, looked down on all the people who were not as illustrious as her background, and quite despised Chen can. Although she liked her, Chen Chan's identity made her never consider that she would develop into a couple. When the art troupe was disbanded, Chen Chan's identity was exposed, which surprised her and felt that he was buried very deep. I made up with Chen Chan the day before I left the team. In total disregard of his good friend Xiao Suizi has been deeply in love with Chen can. A friend's wife cannot be deceived, so can a friend's boyfriend be robbed? Yes, Hao Shuwen really did such a dishonorable and unbenevolent thing. When I saw the movie for the first time, I thought that although the character was unlikable, it was not so annoying. When Liu Feng was bullied by people withholding his car, she scolded a dirty word. I think she is very human. But when I saw it for the second time, I thought Hao Shuwen was too realistic, too vain, and too resourceful. She was similar to Lin Dingding at heart. So she was classified as a nuisance.

In fact, there are a few details to show that the relationship between her and Chen Chan is weak. One detail is that at the farewell banquet, Chen Chan stood up to drink to his comrades-in-arms, and Hao Shuwen gave a forbidden look. She can be overbearing, but Chen can, who is free and loose in nature, will undoubtedly not like such a character. The second detail is to meet again many years later. Xiao Suizi and others asked about Chen Chan. Hao Shuwen said that it was not easy to meet in Haikou. Chen can only accompanied her and her son to have a meal and then went to Sanya to take the land, and then perfunctorily said that he just liked to make money and so on. In fact, the director and screenwriter just want to tell everyone that Chen Chan doesn't love Hao Shuwen at all and deliberately snubs and avoids her. Hao Shuwen also knows this, but so what, all she wants is money and power.

Next, let's talk about Liu Feng.

The return from God to Man

Liu Feng's good, it is obvious to all, I will not talk nonsense. I would like to talk about his weaknesses and the reasons for his tragic life. This man is too unrealistic and too romantic. It is shown in the following points. One is his divinity. In the early part of the movie, Liu Feng enjoyed the reputation of living Lei Feng. There is nothing wrong with this, and most people like to be praised. But Liu Feng cares too much about other people's eyes and opinions, and is too able to speak and do things from the point of view of others. As a result, he was gradually deified, but his human attributes and rights were lost little by little, almost to the point of not cannibalizing the world, so how could he be accepted by the most secular Lin Tingding? His courtship and hugs made Lin Tintin cry, even feel sick and disillusioned, but he just couldn't! Liu Feng embraced Lin Dingding and was said to have corrupted him. So in order to maintain his already bad reputation, Lin Dingding, who was anxious to do so, reported Liu Feng. Liu Feng began to have the return of human nature only in the face of love. During the target practice, the publicity officer took a picture of Lin Dingding. Liu Feng was very jealous and had a big quarrel with him regardless of his image. Lin Dingding said: you are so fierce. This is a common fault of men who become sensitive and aggressive for love. This is also the embodiment of human nature. Next, after touching Lin Dingding, before leaving, he asked he Xiaoping to throw away all the awards and souvenirs, which is also a symbol that he wants to throw away all the marks of living Lei Feng. At this moment, Liu Feng has basically removed the divinity and returned to be a person who faces the reality. The second is his sour romantic feelings. He charged bravely on the battlefield and braved a hail of bullets to save his comrade-in-arms who was trapped in the swamp. Unfortunately, he was shot. When the flames of war temporarily stopped, knowing that he would not be cured immediately, he stubbornly stayed next to the remains of his comrade-in-arms, solemnly and solemnly begging for his sacrifice on the battlefield. On the one hand, he is compassionate and committed to his comrade-in-arms, on the other hand, his motivation is that his heroic deeds will be widely spread, may be arranged into a song, may be sung by Lin Tintin. While still alive, still thinking about a person who does not love himself, and still dreaming of attracting his sweetheart's attention in an extreme way, I have to say that this kind of psychology is really morbid and pathetic. So far, Liu Feng is too unrealistic, which is in sharp contrast to his incomparable reality after that.

At the end of the movie, Liu Feng went to the car to be impounded and learned to give gifts to people. Until the end of the movie, no matter what the reason, he finally got together with he Xiaoping, which was a manifestation of his compromise on reality. It was life that turned him into a secular person again. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being secular.

Finally, I would like to talk about the political commissar.

A man with a black smile

Smiling face is easy to understand. There are several reasons why he is black. First, the political commissar praised Liu Feng's approval of Liu Feng after others, and suggested that Liu Feng should go to further training (because there is also an invisible figure, that is, the head of the art troupe. The political commissar stressed that it was the promotion opportunity given to Liu Feng by the chief. The commissar obviously did not insist too much on Liu Feng's further studies. But on the surface, enough has been done. However, after Liu Feng's accident, the political commissar did not come forward to help him out. I believe that with the political commissar's understanding of Liu Feng, we can guarantee him that he will not be cleared out of the art troupe. The reason why he did not declare his position was probably that he felt that the typical Liu Feng could no longer stand and dance, and that it was better to protect himself than to risk protecting him. The second is the political commissar's attitude towards he Xiaoping. He Xiaoping pretended to be ill to offer condolences to the performance, but what did the political commissar do in the face of a missing role? He incited the emotions of the masses and infected he Xiaoping, letting her voluntarily and voluntarily try her best to complete a good condolence performance and successfully complete the task assigned by the head to the art troupe. After that, he Xiaoping was sent to the field hospital for physical reasons. Don't even ask her the reason for her resistance to the performance. Commissar Pu said that.

I wanted to talk about a few characters. I have written film reviews and analysis of Lin Dingding before, and I have talked a lot about it tonight, so I stop here. Finally, I love this film, I love Liu Feng, I love he Xiaoping, Xiao Suizi, Lin Dingding and Hao Shuwen. Because they are the epitome of life, they are another me, another group of us.
