There are several great men like Lao Huang in the film, and each person's story has its own twists and turns. One of the most impressive fragments is that Lao Hang "changed" a counterfeit hundred-dollar bill he received to a female employer, but it was opened on the spot, and the female employer finally kindly replaced it with a real bill. At this time, the camera was aimed at Lao Hang, and the word "shame" was written in his tears. Receiving counterfeit money means losing a month's rent for him, but spending this counterfeit money makes him lose his last dignity.
Although they are a group of "coolies", the director did not shoot condescendingly with sympathetic eyes. On the contrary, there is always a cheerful atmosphere in the film. Great men are poor, but every penny is earned by their own sweat. In the pursuit of a better life, everyone has never given up hope, and they are also trying to stick to their simple bottom line.
"The Last Stick" tells the real experiences of Lao Huang, He Nan and Lao Gan, and records the fate of the mountain city "Bangbangjun" disappearing and occupying in the tide of the times:
Director He used to be a regimental officer. After changing jobs, he didn't choose an iron rice bowl. Instead, I take the living expenses of 1.300 yuan and live with a wedding photographer hired by myself with a monthly salary of 2 1.000 yuan. He lived at No.53, Gigi Lai Lane, a shanty town in Chongqing, and started his professional baseball career for more than a year. The purpose of making sticks is to film and record the lives of such a group of low-level workers who make a living as coolies.
Netizens commented that the documentary was simple and rough, but every frame hit people's hearts directly. Douban even gave a high score of 9.6. Later, the documentary was also adapted into a film and shown in the cinema.
Lao Huang is the person with the most ink in the film. Because of poor family conditions, Lao Huang has been unable to find a job and marry a wife. Later, he adopted a widow's family who couldn't afford children, and only got a daughter at the age of 40. In order to support his family, Lao Huang went to the northeast to dig coal to work. Three years later, he didn't know that his wife was with someone else until he came home.
Lao Huang wanted to throw himself into the river, but looking at his young daughter, he found that he was not even qualified to die.
After sending his daughter to a relative's house for foster care, Lao Huang chose to go to Chongqing to be a big player for more than 20 years. After raising his daughter to get married, in order to reduce the burden of mortgage, Lao Huang, who is over 60 years old, is still engaged in a great career.
For 20 years, Lao Huang has been honest, living in a small and crowded attic and renting in 60 yuan every month. Because he loves his four-wheeled vehicle, he can take people with him and never pull it by car. The high-speed through train home takes 2 hours, and Lao Huang is reluctant to take it. He/kloc-0 changed trains five times a day, saving only 6 yuan.
On one occasion, Lao Huang was separated from his employer in a crowded crowd. He waited in the square for five hours with thousands of dollars of cosmetics on his back until he came to his employer. When the employer asked for 100 yuan, Lao Huang only accepted 30 yuan. ? "The agreed salary was 20 yuan, but looking for him for a day delayed my other work, so I overcharged 10 yuan."
When he was young, Lao Huang could carry 200 Jin. With the growth of age, physical strength gradually failed to keep up. After the demolition of the rental house, Lao Huang, who was wandering on the street, finally collapsed. Why do you have to carry him to the hospital? Lao Huang won't go anyway. He said, "If you die, you die. Earn if you can't die. "
It is gratifying that Lao Huang finally returned to her daughter after her illness, and the children are very filial. After the documentary was broadcast, many enthusiastic people offered to help. But her daughter Huang Mei said? Have the ability to honor my father, do not accept donations from society and fans, stand up like my father, and be hardworking and strong.
Facing the praise of fans, the director laughed at himself and said that "the best director in China" belongs to him. "I have been reluctant to admit that I am a director. I just grabbed the story I saw and told it. Truth is the reason why it touches people. ? I have the best actors. They are the most hardworking and tenacious migrant workers in China, and I have touched their light. "
Why do you have to say Trump? I grew up in the countryside, from a grass-roots company soldier to a TV propaganda backbone of the army. But no one expected that he could have found an "iron rice bowl" after retiring from the army, but he picked up a stick at the age of 39. Why say it? He wants to dig out the unknown stories in society in the most stupid and bitter way.
The stick is gone, and it's hard for us to know what it means. But great stories should not be forgotten by the times, thanks to someone who recorded their backs with the simplest equipment.
