How is sister Tao? Is it really good?
Several times, I thought of my grandmother's trembling footsteps in Ye Dexian. I believe that anyone who has seen Tao Jie will think of the old man who died at home. There are many places in the film that make people feel sore, but in the end there are no tears. The film keeps you warm from beginning to end, but it's a bit vulgar if it's sadness rather than injury. Peach sister has a theme that can easily make people fall into the mire of sadness, but it successfully fills your chest with warmth. Apart from the warmth of the film, the biggest feeling is simplicity. The story is simple, with almost no plot. If the story is still the original story, then it is hard to say that the story told by Sister Tao is a story. It is a streaking story with almost no plot. Compared with other movies that have obvious plot conflicts with Tao Jie, that is the difference between crosstalk and Twitter. Although crosstalk is wonderful, it is not necessarily true and simple, let alone warm Twitter. The film deliberately played down the sad parting. Tao Jie's brush strokes can be used as a plot point. The film shows that Roger, played by Hua Zai, can't go home after returning from a business trip, and then the ambulance arrives, avoiding the positive description of Tao Jie's stroke. At the end of the movie, Tao Jie's life is replaced by the priest's prayer. This setting is almost not without plot, but more like anti-plot, but it is precisely because of this choice that we can feel the warmth of Tao Jie. The film seems to be composed of warm and yellowed fragments randomly selected from life, which can be carefully understood. If Sister Tao is not deliberately set at all, it seems that it is not. In the nursing home, an old man had a stroke. The film deliberately misled the audience and thought it was Sister Tao. Not to mention the jokes that make the audience smile, such as Roger being mistaken for air conditioning, which may imply the director's attitude towards life. At the end of Tao's life, Roger called to ask if his family would come to the funeral. In the end, none of his family members were present, which was in contrast to the family's good feelings for Tao's sister before, so as to illustrate the complexity of life? The creator showed more warmth, but also did not forget to hint at the bleak and helpless side behind it. It is not difficult to understand that the script comes from real life after the screening. Indeed, such a style cannot come from real life. I always feel that Xu Anhua's previous films are better, with more intense surface conflicts, and some of them are funnier, such as Forty Women, but on the other hand, her later films are more interesting, such as Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai and Sister Tao. Later movies were like a thin piece of paper, wrapped in rich content and full of tension, although the apparent conflict was deliberately diluted so much. However, in Forty Women, we can still feel the similarities with Xu Anhua' s current films. In the story, The Woman of Forty is lively on the surface, but when faced with the opportunity to create more intense drama conflicts, Xu Anhua often chooses to downplay it. In Forty Women, when Goose was worried about how to put her father-in-law in a nursing home as soon as possible, she happened to meet a friend who had something to do with the nursing home and solved the problem of her father-in-law' s placement. In Sister Tao, Luo Jie takes Sister Tao to find a nursing home, and he is worried about the harsh fees charged by the nursing home. He met the owner of the nursing home played by Huang Qiusheng, who happened to be Roger's friend, and the cost problem was solved, thus eliminating the intense drama situation. This film is closer to life. Since life has ups and downs, there must be ups and downs. Another example is "Sister Tao". There is a tenant living in a house rented by Roger. Finally, Roger hired someone to scare him away and make room for Tao's sister. But isn't there another sad story behind the poor tenant with only one shot? In the end, I think "Sister Tao" always conveys that kind of warm and plain story, which implies us. Maybe we will ignore such moments in life intentionally or unintentionally. This is the kind of movie that is not afraid of spoilers, as long as the mood is there. Finally, another surprise of "Sister Tao" is that there will always be some familiar faces making guest appearances. The screening copy at the meeting was also very good. The overall tone is warm and yellow, and there are occasional scratches on the film during screening. This is really exciting, and people want to know whether this will be the original copy of the first screening. It may not be seen after the official release. Really lucky.
