Can Alec Su's first film "Left Ear" be regarded as a successful adaptation?

The film "Left Ear" has been broadcast for a long time, and I remember it now largely because I think the film version is a very successful adaptation.

People who have read Rao Xueman's original works can probably understand the meaning of this sentence better. . . (covering his face)

First of all, the characters on the screen are much fuller than novels, and novels are really melodramatic.

The film presents a group of children living in pain, which is clearly visible, mostly related to their family background. Come on, say to Lear, "Don't fall in love. Men do not have a good thing. You can't beat them. " Obviously, she knew it in her heart, but she still fell in love, probably because she lacked love since childhood. Baba is a contradictory character, and so are her lines. Sometimes, she said, "Men are like tickets. If you want to think better, you have to keep changing tickets. " Sometimes, she added, "Love is right, but youth is wrong. What am I afraid of? " These children are young and impulsive, and some emotions will be expressed incisively and vividly, which will inevitably hurt each other.

When Xiao Er stubbornly told Zhang Yang that I wouldn't tell you, everyone thought it was a difficult child, and few people could understand Xiao Er's revenge, because nothing is more cruel than not knowing the truth. The plain truth will always make people feel relieved, but the ignorant twists and turns will always be entangled in their hearts, and they will never forget it when they think back. So it's gone. Small ears are actually torturing Zhang Yang in disguise. Yes, if you don't know the reason, you will always think about it, which is equal to all the reasons you can think of. How hurtful. So "not telling you" is torture.

Secondly, in addition to characterization, the tension of the film is also considerable. In addition to love, this is also a story of a group of teenagers walking from a small corner to the world. Zhang Yang went to Beijing and Xu Yi, while Joel went to Shanghai. Zhang Yang said: "Beijing is a city where you shout in the street and nobody cares about you." Beipiao people should feel the same way about this sentence. In the movie, different characters also represent different life trajectories. Ear is the girl who rebelled occasionally but finally settled down. Xu Yi is a teenager who really pays the price for the pain of youth. In the face of adversity, Zhang Yang bravely advanced. Jiang Jiao is a protected little princess, but she grew up in an unhealthy family. They are about the same age, but their trajectories are completely different.

Many people say that Alec Su chose the wrong novel and made the wrong movie, but this is not entirely correct. This film contains Alec Su's personal feelings. When this group of teenagers are about to graduate from the college entrance examination, the campus broadcast is "Wish you a bon voyage", which is a song of Little Tiger and exclusive to Alec Su's youth. The ending song of the film is sung by Zhao Wei, which should be his fate in filming Princess Zhu Huan when he was young. After all, Zhao Wei seldom gives voice to movies. If you think about it, you can also see Alec Su's youth in the movies. I prefer the movie version of Left Ear to the movie version of To Youth. I have read both novels. Wu Xinyi's "To the Youth We Will Die" was very sad at that time. I feel that Wu Xinyi has more observation on life than ordinary writers in the series "Warm Heart Youth". "Left ear" is just the opposite. Look at the left ear of junior high school students, it was very malicious at that time. This evaluation is both exaggerated and artificial. I thought about how Rao Xueman wrote such a pithy book. Later, after watching The Hourglass and Sweet and Bitter, I decided to abandon Rao Xueman completely. Based on this experience, I didn't expect much from the film Left Ear, but I was pleasantly surprised by Alec Su's adaptation.
