Special feature of 1905 film network The loveless and rebellious elder sister, the beloved younger brother and the taciturn father, the new film "I am the Guardian" once again pushes the pain of "family of origin" to the stage with realistic brushwork.
The film tells a series of family stories about Shilu (ornaments), who is studying alone outside the home, and is entrusted by her long-lost father (ornaments) to take care of her half-brother Cody (Lin Jingzhe). The strange and familiar relationship between brother and sister in the play is not difficult to remind people of another family movie that has caused heated discussion.
Speaking of the theme, the director respectfully said that this is a story about "communication" and "sense of belonging". "Dad loves his daughter very much, but her daughter can’t feel it. Where this dislocation comes from is exactly what the film is going to discuss."
In the movie, the relationship between my brother and my sister is not antagonistic, but more like a "mirror", which allows my sister to reflect on her relationship with her father. "My brother grew up in an extremely protected and safe environment, especially expressing his needs, and my father will naturally meet his needs. For Shilu, dad doesn’t love her, sometimes she doesn’t express her need for fatherly love. "
Similar to Shilu, the heroine, Jingran once studied and worked alone in the United States, and she naturally projected some of her experiences and personality on Shilu.
"Shilu is a person who is not good at communication. She can’t express her needs. She is always afraid that she is not doing well enough and will show the imperfections, so she uses a shell to disguise herself, and so am I. This film is teaching her to show weakness, in fact, it is also teaching me to show weakness. "
In addition, Shilu’s "beauty drift" status also makes her more eager for a sense of belonging. Jing Ran interprets it this way: "This is also a story of finding a sense of belonging. She wants a feeling of being needed. If the family didn’t give it to her, she went to find it at work. Finally, she found that the sense of belonging actually comes from a sense of security, and a sense of security is to accept your imperfections. "
Not only is the theme thought-provoking, but the starring lineup of the film is also eye-catching. Yanhui Wang once again played the role of father, and once again created a typical Chinese father image.
The director laughed and said that he was asked to play his father because he liked the "bad guy" played by Yanhui Wang. "This father’s feeling of being awkward, not communicating and muddy can be seen from Hui Ge’s previous roles."
Shang Yuxian changed the image of a ghost horse in China, and Su Yan appeared as a "beautiful drifter" who studied abroad alone, making a big breakthrough.
Jing Ran revealed that Yanhui Wang and Yu Xian, a monk, identified the "father-daughter file" together, and took a fancy to the chemical reaction between them. "Yu Xian plays a daughter who is cold outside and hot inside, which is offensive to her father, but I don’t want her to have a counterattack after the attack, so there will be communication. I’m going to punch it out and hit a sponge, and there’s no force to come back. Teacher Yanhui Wang can just give this force, so it is particularly good. "
The original name of "I am a guardian" is "born in the ground", "born in the ground, Shilu is a person without a home, so there is no word" root "."
Besides movies, Jing Ran, who once worked in the famous American studio Blue Sky Animation, is also looking for his own "roots". After her debut novel "I am a Guardian", she will try a larger and more commercial work to show more possibilities as a director.
