This is a rare documentary about women's production. The documentary took two years to shoot, tracking and shooting more than 80 families in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, and truly recording the whole process of these families from entering the obstetrics and gynecology department to leaving. Select more than 40 family-produced drama films with 13 episodes, and select four representative family stories to produce the film Birth Gate with a duration of more than 100 minutes. Because the stories in it are all true, after the film was released, it caused many viewers to reflect and praise, and led the audience to understand the meaning of childbirth to the family and even the meaning of life.
This documentary is accurate in shooting angle, and tells the story in the delivery room with the choice and persistence of "prospective father" as the main line ~
The director's focus is not on the pain of pregnant women in the operating room, but on the realistic pressure faced by men who are about to become fathers, as well as the struggle and entanglement of expectations and concerns. These expectant fathers all have their own stories. They are faced with life pressure and moral pressure, and every decision they make is extremely cautious. However, they must make difficult choices within a limited time, whether it is pain, pressure, entanglement, struggle or liberation, it is so clear and profound. In this drama, it is difficult to see the joy of becoming a "father" from these men, and more is anxiety and helplessness. "Birth Gate" is the birth gate of children, women and men.
The documentary explains the fear of life from the perspective of a third-party doctor ~
In this play, Dr. Li Jiafu is a calm and responsible gynecologist. He has seen too many family stories, and he is the core of the whole play. If every family will only face the pain of wandering and struggling in front of the "birth door" once or several times, then a doctor like Li Jiafu has been guarding this door all his life. They have seen countless stories of joys and sorrows, and that is why they are most afraid of life. Also through the doctor, the director explained the purpose of his filming Birth Gate-if you have Mao Mao (the baby in the film is called "Mao Mao"), please don't forget that he or she is a life worthy of respect, and those children who survive are the real survivors who came into this world after a narrow escape.
Documentary tells us that life is not easy, but if life has come, please treat it well ~
