The passage "Duck Prophet" in "My Father and I" successfully shaped Zhao Pingyang, a typical trendsetter in a reform era. When Zhao Pingyang appeared, he was a nobody who was laughed at by his neighbors because of speculation and idleness. He faces a double crisis of career and family.
According to the classification of Canadian scholar Frye in the book Anatomy of Criticism, he is obviously a typical "satirical" figure with lower intelligence or status than ordinary people. This is a common kind of characters in comedy creation, and one of the keys to deal with this kind of comedy characters is to let the audience look up from overlooking, thus causing the audience to feel and sing at a deeper level.
Film evaluation:
The focus of My Father and I is not to depict intergenerational conflicts or differences, but to present emotional bridging, value recognition and spiritual inheritance between modernity.
For example, in "Braving the Wind and Waves", this kind of intergenerational bridge relies on the revolutionary belief of defending the country and defending the country. Although the life of a teenager riding the wind came to an abrupt end, another one was born at the same time, and the revolutionary torch continued to pass. In all the paragraphs, poetry is particularly different. It is not shouting slogans, nor pretending to be lyrical, but poetizing the astronauts' dedication with romantic and daily brushwork.
