Courage and action.
What I bring to you is the inspirational movie "Flying Life" directed by Han Han. Let's take a look at how the male protagonist Zhang Chi in the film flies on the road to pursue his life dreams!
"Flying Life" tells the story of the comeback of a washed-up car god.
Zhang Chi, a car god played by Shen Teng, was suspended for five years for illegal drag racing. His reputation was ruined and he made a living by selling fried rice at a stall.
Five years later, when he was nearly forty, he decided to return to the racing world to challenge the younger generation of talented racing driver Lin Zhendong (played by Huang Jingyu), but encountered many obstacles. No money, no car, no teammates, and even my driver’s license had to be retaken.
He enlisted the help of his former partner and navigator Sun Yuqiang (played by Yin Zheng) and the former team technician Ji Xing (played by Zhang Benyu), and finally gathered the equipment to prepare for the competition. However, the navigator Sun Yuqiang was out of the game again. ACCIDENT. In the end, Zhang Chi had to complete the race alone, facing the loneliness left by the ultra-long distance, and completing the redemption of his dream alone...
Teacher Han Han's works always have a rare "youthful spirit" - knowing how to be an adult Despite the dark side of the world, there is a fairy tale-like persistence, a belief in hard work and struggle. As long as you believe that you can succeed with full enthusiasm, after all, everyone has worked hard and persevered for something, but some people still believe it, and some people have given up. Stories about dreams will always touch people's hearts.
At the end of the film, Zhang Chi rushed out of the cliff and flew to the sea. There is no sea around Bayinbuluke.
The blue sea is a fictional scene and Han Han’s hope for all those who chase their dreams.
What does it mean to chase your dreams?
Han Han once believed that chasing dreams meant defeating opponents. Today, Han Han believes that chasing dreams is like a drag race - you can't see where your opponent is.
All you can do is fight to the death with your significant other.
The beginning of the movie is Zhang Chi’s “bragging” about himself. When this kind of radiant persona stands at the pinnacle of life, and is placed on Shen Teng, isn’t our first reaction just to brag? It wasn't until his negative news was overwhelming that he chose to believe that he had light.
"You are a professional driver, why did you accept such an invitation?"
"Because the car owner who invited me said that if I win, he can handle my son's household registration and schooling issues."
Even though Zhang Chi was standing at the pinnacle of rally racing at that time, with countless spotlights shining on him, he still could not solve such common problems in the market.
For him, if the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, but for arbitration, if the law does not allow it, it cannot be done. So, what exactly is the problem? Is it possible that these satires can be done without any prohibition by law?
When Zhang Chi, Yu Qiang and Ji Xing reunited, they both sang "I used to be as helpless as duckweed" in "I Really Love You". The three of them had made each other successful. A top driver, a top navigator, and a top pit crew leader. During the five consecutive championships, the absence of any one of these three people will make all three of them become ordinary duckweeds.
The collapse of an adult begins with borrowing money. A professional driver who was banned from racing for five years waited for the chance to come back, but he was about to lose it because he had no money. The competitive club, that is, the team in the film, always only needs benefits. If it can bring benefits, it is a good chess piece. When you cause losses to the club, you should pay the price for it. This is true for Zhang Chi, and the same is true for Ji Xing. in this way.
Lin Zhendong has the top technology team and the best racing car in the rally world. Everything about him is top-notch. When he was eighteen years old, after watching Zhang Chi’s race, he knew about Zhang Chi and even China. With outdated racing skills, he is the most perfect character in the entire film and has it all. In addition to money, honor, and popularity, he also possesses generosity and appropriate pride. In fact, it is exactly the opposite of Zhang Chi who was standing at the top, arrogant and arrogant.
Ji Xing used a long list of professional terms when making modification budgets. Han Han greatly stimulated the audience with his professionalism, and at the same time, the price also stimulated Zhang Chi without reservation.
For money, Zhang Chi and Yuqiang threw away their dignity in front of Big Brother. One sang "Big Brother" and the other climbed on the pole of pole dancing. At the end of the film, there is a scene where the eldest brother is imprisoned. It is supposed to be a time when rich people pay to watch others play tricks, but this song "How are you, eldest brother" is like his farewell to himself.
Ji Xing successfully modified the racing car, the tacit understanding between Zhang Chi and Yu Qiang during the test, Yu Qiang’s calm and cold piloting language and Zhang Chi’s unconditional trust in Yu Qiang, these two people should belong to the rally car, no Better suited to their jobs than rally cars.
Because of Yu Qiang's mistake before the race, the car was scrapped and was about to be ruined? They were on their way to the top again. Lin Zhendong, as their biggest opponent, extended a helping hand to them. Ji Xing, as the maintenance engineer who knew Zhang Chi best, led Lin Zhendong Zhendong's repair team perfectly repaired the relaxed car.
Before the start of the race, Yu Qiang was unable to race due to injury. Zhang Chi became the first racing driver to race alone. A racing driver without a navigator is like losing his eyes. Zhang Chi can only rely on memory to complete the race. The Bayinbuluk track was suspended for five years. He thought of Bayinbuluk 20 times in his mind every day, which was more than 36,000 times in one session. What about the five years he spent winning the championship? He knew the whole Bayinbuluk by heart.
In the last few corners, without the relaxation of the navigator, there was no way to avoid the stone, and the car suffered unnecessary wear and tear. The time difference between him and Lin Zhendong shrank to three seconds. When it finally shrank to less than one second, Zhang Chi broke through the sand in front of him, breaking through Lin Zhendong's lead of a few tenths of a second. Zhang Chi won, but he didn't want to win, he just didn't want to lose. Due to the previous damage and high-load operation, the high-speed racing car could no longer stop. Zhang Chi gave up parking because he had accomplished what he wanted to do. Everyone thought he was rushing towards death. Only he knew that he It is rushing towards the light.
According to the time hints in the film, we can deduce that Zhang Chi was born in 1980 and should have been 37 years old when he returned to the game.
These are also the two keywords of the film: post-80s, 35+.
You will see many memories of those born in the 1980s, such as the Slam Dunk theme song and the background of Saint Seiya, Beyone's "Glory Days", etc. (It's a pity that the placement is blunt and makes people laugh).
You will also see the bald racing sales manager Liu, who is unemployed in middle age, but still has to hide his tears and tell everyone with a forced smile that he finally has time for a vacation. Don’t envy me too much. .
Post-80s, a term that once represented individuality and publicity, is no longer friendly, and what people associate with it has become middle-aged and greasy.
Han Han, who was born in the 1980s, should have a deep understanding of this transformation. After all, he once stood on the top of the wave of youth and was wild and uninhibited. He also watched the emerging rising stars constantly catch up and surpass.
At the beginning of the film, Zhang Chi had a memory of a veteran commentating on the field when he was at his peak. He was really young and frivolous, and he was so crazy.
However, no matter how crazy you were back then, it hurt to be slapped by the back wave. No matter how unwilling you are, you have to admit that the tide of the times brings not only years, but also youth that cannot be returned.
This is also the most breakthrough point between Han Han and "Flying Life", which focuses on the problems of people born in the 1980s in middle age and struggling to survive in stubbornness.
When those born in the 1980s were still young, many film and television works rushed to capture their flamboyant personalities and youthful youth. Youth dramas such as "Struggle" were even more popular.
In the blink of an eye, the characters in film and television works no longer belong to those born in the 1980s, and the era of those born in the 1980s has passed.
Only Han Han still firmly believes that those born in the 1980s are not obsolete. He loudly declared through the movie that "only the moment a person loses confidence in himself is he truly obsolete."
Yes, we can never lose confidence in ourselves, but the reality must be faced head-on.
Nowadays, those born in the 1990s are about to enter the age of 30. Looking at the workplace, those born in the 1990s are in the right place. In a few years, those born in the 2000s will also become the main force. The 35+ group is quite passive in terms of age and physical condition. status.
"Flying Life" describes exactly this reality, but it does not praise middle-aged people for regaining their dreams, nor does it deify that having dreams can counterattack, but tells you through the lens how important this is. Disaster!
This is also the unique charm of this movie, which is enough to make people cry.
"Flying Life" not only tells us to "dedicate all of you to everything you love", it is also a stubborn cry -
The post-80s generation has worked hard because of love and persistence. Scream with all your strength!
