Who has seen the depths of a hundred flowers? What do you think!!

The Depths of a Hundred Flowers is a fable in which Chen Kaige tells a story of separation, with the main theme of remembering the courtyard and hutong culture. With the "madman" (Feng Yuanzheng) as the spokesperson, the movers (Geng Le) witnessed the consequences of this persecutive invasion of civilization, and finally the madman found the big bell and the workers saw the former hutongs. Old Beijing struggled to find its roots in the lost, and it can only be reproduced in Chen Kaige's computer stunt screens.

If tradition continues to be flattened by bulldozers, the depths of the flowers can only be a virtual illusion.

Although it is only 10 minutes long, it has always been deeply rooted in the theme from the beginning to the end, using the actual life that people are familiar with to make it easier for people to accept, and make people recall and think deeply.

At the beginning of the film, the microwave ripples, and the seemingly bottomless water, accompanied by the melody of the saxophone, takes the audience into Chen Kaige's "deep flowers".

Entering the opening, the workers who moved the site brought the scene into the high-rise buildings and entered the land of "hundred flowers". Here you can feel the face of the city from the perspective of looking up. In this prosperous place, there are more and more people, and even those who live in the depths of the flowers have to move - even if they are crazy ......

Follow the moving car all the way to the Baihua Building, all the way to the old vacant land that has not yet been renovated, from the modern and fashionable scene, to the half-demolished abandoned old house alley (I personally think it would be better if there were more inhabited old alleys), and finally the original vacant land with weeds deep - Dakui Tree. It is even more classic that only this tree remains in such a vacant lot, and this is a relic here.

A madman is usually ignored and it's too late to hide, but how many people know the story behind it, the city is developing, the society is progressing, nature always has success and failure, gain and loss, and the world is balanced. And how many people care about these people who live behind the city? Because people always think it's none of their business.

There are also many bosses who do everything for money.

This film not only shows the city and development, but also shows more human nature. Although there are not many characters, each one of them has a good performance. For example, people who are lazy halfway and go to the side to smoke; People who don't care about breaking vases; people who pretend to carry bathtubs and pretend to be hard; Another bell sees the manor, sees the culture of old Beijing and misses the person; Of course, it also includes the person who is easily satisfied and lives in his own fantasy world.

Lunatic! Although it is crazy, the irony is that those who have an instantaneous spirit of service because of settling an account are being played around by a madman, isn't this crazy!

The last thing I saw was the big courtyard around the big kui tree, a house of a big family in the past, a beautiful cultural scenery of old Beijing, and it was not just a bell that I picked up, but also found my memory, with the sound of the bell went away, towards the direction of the sunset, and entered the deeper depths of the flowers. This scene can be said to be another sublimation, giving people a feeling of unfinished.

The use of the lens in the whole work is also very simple, and the picture is also in place, simple without losing the original feeling. The whole story takes the city moving as the lead, and the theme of the depths of a hundred flowers, so that the whole story is smooth and natural, without the feeling of dragging mud and water, and the thinking is clear. It profoundly reflects the negative impact of the development of contemporary society, and at the same time reveals the disadvantages of development by looking at the front and not the after, and at the same time reveals the important problems that we are currently facing.

A piece of land has a heart, should a forklift be used or a heart? Is it sentimental? Or is it deep thought?

This is also a question that comes one after another. I can move home, but I can't move my heart, I can move a place but I can't move my memories, and I can't move my culture if I can move a person!

"Deep Flowers", as a work about the alternation of the old and new eras, has very few specific props in the film for the display of traditional culture, and the screen is full of traces of modern life, which also reflects the fragmentation and humility of traditional culture in the face of modern civilization.

In the end, Mr. Feng found a real traditional object in the ruins - wind chimes, and Mr. Feng, who had been lost in modern society, had a smile, and with the melodious sound of bells, the director used the form of animation to re-show the appearance of the old Beijing courtyard on the ruins.

In the past, the courtyard of the Feng family had red walls and green tiles, and peach blossoms were flying, showing the classical beauty, and this beauty has become a fleeting nothingness in modern society. In the blink of an eye, the beautiful courtyard house no longer exists, leaving behind the ruins of demolition and relocation.

This short film, however, contains infinite symbolism, whether traditional culture is permanently buried in the face of information-based modern society, or should it continue to exert the charm of tradition. At the end of the film, the moving workers are intoxicated with the peace of traditional old Beijing in the past, looking at Mr. Feng's weak and firm back, leaving people with endless sadness.

The plot of "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers".

At the beginning of the film, the director used a large-angle upward shot, and the modern buildings dozens of meters high appear more tall and majestic in the shot, symbolizing the rapid development of modern society. A gang of moving companies is completing a job.

When the moving company was leaving, a "Mr. Feng" suddenly appeared, he asked the moving company to help him move, and the moving company followed him to what he said "Hutong in the depths of a hundred flowers", but found that the place was already in ruins, and the madman "Mr. Feng" brought them to the old Beijing courtyard in his own image.

Flowers bloom differently, flowers fall different pity, want to ask the lovesickness, when the flowers bloom and fall, "with this quiet poem, with the line of this kite, by mistake, into the depths of the flowers in the dream."

Lotus. Only the breeze understands the pure beauty of the lotus.

The wind poems of the deep valley have a taste, but it is not the taste of words, but a natural breath, a kind of fresh nature without impurities and out of the world, mixed with the pure beauty of the silk lotus, is beauty, not incense, is a kind of artistic conception, close your eyes, feel the breeze, you will think of the pure beauty of the lotus, so, only the breeze can really understand the pure beauty of the lotus, the lotus's "can be seen from a distance, but can not be blasphemed" sentiment, so it is integrated into the wind in the depths of the flowers.

As I continued walking, it got colder and colder, and it began to fall with snow.

Plums. Mei, lead finger has never been born only in the cold winter.

A wisp of crying flute, from the depths of the flowers sent to the depth of the fragrance of the flowers, plum, quietly fell beside me, as if the warmth of the snowflakes condensed, plum may be fused with the snow, but just like a poem said, "plum loses snowflakes a piece of white, snow loses plum a piece of fragrance" let us look forward to it together, when it falls down in an instant, whose more beautiful my smiling limbs are still in the depths of the flowers, "cook wine with snow, make a shadow with plum".

Winter is coming, will spring be far away? Spring in the depths of the flowers should also arrive.

Peach. Peach Blossom smiled, I was drunk in the peach blossoms.

Woven by rain and mist'In the emptiness, the water droplets escaping from the white stamens of the peach blossoms dripped quietly.

The pink emotion, tied to the clear gaze, holding the wandering footprints in the depths of the hundred flowers, Wang Yuyan in Jin Yong's story touched the world, maybe it is the incarnation of the depths of the hundred flowers! Looking back and smiling, all living beings are poured, just like peach blossoms, the rain linling stands in the depths of the flowers, the rain is dripping, it opens silently, it, in the rain, does not show a trace of shyness.

When I woke up from the dream, it was a weeping flute that woke me up, and the fragmentary dreams seemed to be on the other side!

The film "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" tells the farce of a madman "Mr. Feng" who asks a moving company to move to the "Depths of a Hundred Flowers", which has long been in ruins. In the whole film, the director profoundly interprets the theme of the survival dilemma faced by traditional Chinese culture in the process of social modernization in the process of social modernization alternating between the old and the new.

One of the few highlights of the short film is the backdrop with a strong old Beijing character**, the theme is a piece of music with a traditional Chinese charm, and the most important instruments are the Beijing drum, the handbell, the flute, the triangle, the cymbal, etc., and Feng Yuanzheng's wonderful interpretation of a madman - this character fails in design but succeeds artistically, but not very successfully in the soundtrack.

Known as a "film philosopher", Chen Kaige has always been good at using allegorical film language to bring deep critical power to films. Similarly, in this film, Chen Kaige also uses a lot of metaphorical shots to solidify the proposition of the conflict between old and new cultures.
