Li Baicheng Fortune Telling Telephone _ Li Baicheng Fortune Telling Telephone

Fortune teller, one of the vagabond trilogy, is directed by Xu Tong.

Wanderers refer to people who have no home, are unstable and wander around, mostly marginalized and at the bottom.

Centered on the fortune teller Li Baicheng, this documentary shows the living conditions of all kinds of vagrants who are struggling on the edge of society and struggling to survive through seven short stories.

Li Baicheng, a native of Louzhang Township, Qinglong County, was the earliest disabled (suffering from rheumatoid arthritis) among the four buddies. He was bullied by his older brother since he was a child. After his parents died, the old house was given to his older brother. Li Baicheng has no house and no land, and has been wandering outside for many years. Disabled since childhood, I have no body and education, so I have to learn a fortune-telling skill to make a living. At the age of 40, I heard that a disabled woman in Linxian was bullied by her elder sister-in-law and spent 130 on it. First, she solved loneliness and had a partner in life. The second is to solve physiological needs. Since then, I have lived alone with Shi Pearl, relying on fortune telling and begging for a living.

There is a cloud in Buddhism that "all beings suffer", and there is also a cloud at the end of this film that "all beings have a number of lives." Looking back, we can understand why there are so many different tastes. " The life of the rich is varied, and the life of the poor is just one of them. How to survive and how to live better is how to live.

At the beginning of the film, for the first time, "Li Baicheng decided to live alone, and Tang Xiaoyan beat up the worthless man", telling the story of a bumpy woman, Tang Xiaoyan, who was brought to the ground by the underworld in seventeen years and attempted rape; Later, he met a wanted murderer in a bar, who was threatened with a knife and raped; Opened a massage room, got fired and went to prison. Ordinary people may not last long when they encounter such a thing. You really admire the tenacity and tenacity of homeless people. But who wants to live this life? There is no way. The hardships of life come at you like waves. I can only bite my teeth and solve them one by one.

From the whole film, you will have a feeling that the more humble and marginal you are, the more you believe in fate. For example, most people who look for Li Baicheng's fortune telling are marginal people; Brother Shi stripped his ancestral grave, and there was no disabled life in later generations; Li Baicheng believes that the hair length of Shi Zhenzhu is closely related to her wealth; Brother Li Baicheng thinks that all his four brothers are disabled because they live in a haunted house.

And whether this has anything to do with it is unclear and unclear. It seems that all bad things come down to life, and everything can be explained reasonably. Personally, if everyone's life is doomed at the moment you are born, then all efforts and struggles are meaningless. It's destiny takes a hand anyway. You are poor, no matter how you toss around, you are still poor. What's the point?

Although I was born in a poor family since I was a child, I have no problem eating, wearing warm clothes and going to school. While watching this movie, I have been thinking about what kind of perspective to observe these characters. You think they are unhappy and hard, but not necessarily. You think they are morally corrupt, open massage rooms, work as massage girls and go whoring, but who can do anything? You have to live. You think they are kind, releasing small animals and adding fragrance to the temple, but they are not. They have many detailed ideas. How can I sum up a person in a few words? It is the complexity of human beings that constitutes the colorful essence of the whole society.

Fortune-telling is a film directed by Xu Tong in 2009, and now it is 2020, which coincides with the crucial year of tackling poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way. A few days ago, there was news that "600 million people earn 1000", which shows that the poor are still the majority of society. Nowadays, film and television works focus on the well-off and middle class, which easily makes you feel alienated and unrealistic, and you are increasingly marginalized. I hope there will be more works like fortune telling to show the true side of society from different angles.
