If Hsinchu people, seventh-grade students and newspaper fans must watch Nine Falls, then I think Taiwan Province people should watch Cape No.7 more. From Jiufeng to Cape No.7, the movies in Taiwan Province Province are actually full of surging blood under poor physique, and I will never forget the hope. Not only do we have a story about the windy city, but now we have a Cape No.7, which tells the story of eternal spring in the southern border. Compared with Jiufeng, Cape Seven clearly depicts the image of a specific generation and youth. It focuses on how the various ethnic groups living together in that land collided, contradicted and merged due to historical factors and force majeure. It was the eternal spring in the eyes of the director, and it was still so real through the lens.
Wei Desheng opened a door in the pilot film of seediq bale, vaguely revealing that the beautiful scenery after going out was desirable, but it could not be realized in the end. I thought that door had been tightly closed with the death of seediq bale. Fortunately, he chose a love letter that he couldn't find this person, and set out again, interweaving a regret 60 years ago with the story of Hengchun 60 years later. I think what Wei Desheng put behind the door this time is a beautiful scene of racial integration in the name of love, regardless of race, nationality, age.
You will see Minnan people, aborigines and Hakkas living in Hengchun, South China. Some of them returned to their hometown from other places, while others left their hometown. The temporary rock band spans three generations. They all gather in the south of the border, which is an area where ancient rural traditions are preserved inside and tourism trends can be brought outside. The mountains and seas in Hengchun circle them into a group, trying to find a * * pattern in the group.
I selfishly explained that Hengchun is a metaphor for the island of Taiwan Province Province. The people in the film are the epitome of the whole island residents. The small land is pregnant with various local colors and heterogeneity, even including strangers crossing the ocean. As for the historical racial division in Chou He, it is only a means of deliberate manipulation. Returning to the real life of little people may not be more important than the wonderful electronic float at the wedding banquet.
Cape Seven compares the old and new elements: the letter that was hidden in the closet 60 years ago and could not be sent contained a love that was hard to cash in the great era, as well as regrets and misunderstandings that existed in the hearts of two people. Apologizing is like the address of Cape 7 has long been lost and there is nowhere to deliver it. After the package that should have been returned was opened, the emotional story between two young people came into being 60 years later. The letter sent after half a century's time and space, although it was too late to save the ship bound for the north and the person who left his lover, could only make up for the gap left by the friend who saw love leave Hong Kong with his own eyes from that moment on, and let the messenger play the postman so hard for the first time, as if to convey his love.
Aga and Mao Bo, two old and new postmen, are obviously contrasting and interacting. One is the sharpness of the electric guitar, and the other is the elegance of Qin Yue. From the beginning of hostility and friction, until the secret of hiding letters was discovered, they turned to work for the same goal (orchestra and delivering letters) In this process, the newcomers know how to respect the wisdom and persistent beliefs of the old people, and the old people no longer regard the newcomers as opponents and turn into harmonious relationships.
In the film, the director deliberately arranged many funny characters and situations, most of which successfully won the laughter of the audience. In particular, Mao Bo, a local character, is the most successful character. As soon as he appeared, people expected something amazing. The costume and deductive ability of Aga in Fan Yichen surprised me. At first, she broke her guitar angrily and rode back to Hengchun on a wolf. As a frustrated rock musician, she worked as a postman after returning to China. Fan Yichen expressed her loneliness and helplessness physically and emotionally, which jumped out of my impression of idol singers. Ma Rulong is an indescribable hardcore actor, but when you see his face and hear his voice, you can hear the play. He plays the role of the president who has enough power to control the affairs of Hengchun Town, big and small, and worries about the situation that young people in the town are unemployed and unwilling to stay in their hometown all day long. When fighting for the warm-up group of Kousuke Atari Eye concert, his technique is between gangster and rustic character, and there is a kind of joy that the guest in Xiao Ying is a motorcycle dealer who has a crush on the boss's wife. In order to please the boss's wife, he has to help take care of three children from time to time. As the only drummer in town, he dyed his red hair the day before he went on stage to perform. Although Mao Bo said that "slam dunk is out of fashion", he is still naive. Marasang performed in Ma Nianxian. A merchant who has been selling rice wine always shouts "spicy mulberry" at a high volume. The indomitable weed character should be a reflection of Taiwan Province people's persistent work.
Cape 7 is really a layered movie, just like a shop selling everything, so that everyone who enters the cinema can get their place and leave. Whether it is the simplest humorous situation that can resonate with the audience, licorice characters and jokes, or emotional feelings, such as stumbling between people's emotions, seesaw between dreams and reality, or even serious, such as the outflow of young people, the competition between local and foreign forces, the sale of the environment as a precious property, and the historical complex between Taiwan Province and Japan due to colonization.
So it can be a crazy comedy, a touching literary film or a bloody orchestral film. What kind of information do you choose to receive? Cape Seven is a movie for you. Although this movie still has some irreversible defects no matter how many times you watch it, for example, Lin Xiaopei plays a weak big mother who speaks fluent Japanese, but she is just a room cleaner with a depressed expression all day. The identity of a single mother can only vaguely guess the knot that has been broken by the Japanese and has not been clearly explained with an elderly friend, leaving a mystery in the hearts of the audience that must be repeatedly scrutinized; This is better than Naoko Waichuan and Aga, who are still staring at each other in the last shot, and accidentally wipe the gun off in the next shot. Their mood changed from hostility to admiration, only through one night of sex, which is my only criticism of the script. But despite these shortcomings, Cape 7 still has its shortcomings. No matter how many times I look at a foreigner, Naoko Kawaguchi, and wait for the back of that belated love letter, my tears will flow several times. I'm still glad that Wei Desheng let the people of Taiwan Province Province see this Cape No.7.
