Chapter 726 If You Leave Again, You'll Be Out
The audience felt a little uneasy, and Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but change her sitting position to hide the depressed feeling in her heart.
There is no way. In the first half of the movie, Lin Fan portrayed the secret love between the boy and the girl, but the vague and unclear feeling, too beautifully.
The rhythm of joy has been running through the entire plot from the beginning of the movie to now, but such joy has completely turned into heaviness in Zhu Yingtai's earnest exhortation.
Everyone still remembers that Master Zhu was obsessed with marrying Zhu Yingtai to the Ma family in exchange for greater wealth and prosperity for the Zhu family, so he sent Zhu Yingtai to the academy to study so that she would be "worthy of the Ma family."
Everyone was waiting to see how Lin Fan would present this conflict: was it a misunderstanding? Was it a missed opportunity? Or was it something that could not be achieved? None of them.
Liang Shanbo successfully passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate. He brought a betrothal gift to the Zhu family to propose marriage, but on the way he ran into the Ma family's Naji team. Unlike Liang Shanbo's shabby betrothal gift, the Ma family's betrothal gift took three full days to deliver, which completely outshined Liang Shanbo.
When he arrived at Zhu's house, Liang Shanbo was ridiculed by Zhu's mother in various ways, but Liang Shanbo endured it all in order to meet Zhu Yingtai.
Liang Shanbo finally saw Zhu Yingtai dressed as a woman, and they agreed to elope to the academy at night. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered and how could they be a match for the Zhu family? The Zhu family beat Liang Shanbo severely and locked Zhu Yingtai in their home.
In order to make Zhu Yingtai give up, Zhu's mother went to the Liang family and forced Liang Shanbo to write a letter to say goodbye to Zhu Yingtai.
"Do you think that being angry can change the fate of you and Yingtai? Do you think that if you express your dissatisfaction, the Hu people will tolerate the Han people in the south?
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being born in the wrong place and at the wrong time. You were born when the Han Dynasty was in decline. Everyone is so hypocritical, pedantic and snobbish.
If you want to blame someone, blame you for having too many ideas and being young and ignorant. You thought you could change the people around you just because you don’t like them, and you two could change this era.”
After Zhu's mother had been aggressive, she knelt down in front of Liang Shanbo and said, "I can kneel before you for Yingtai, but what can you do for Yingtai?"
Mother-in-law, this is so heartbreaking!
The audience was immediately furious: "Fuck! That's too harsh! Every word is so heartbreaking!"
However, some viewers expressed their understanding: "In fact, I think what Zhu's mother said seems to be correct. That was the way it was in that era. Matching families of equal status and following parents' orders was the orthodoxy."
The audience was divided and argued quietly: "So they are all rubbish, that's why we have to resist!"
"But Zhu's mother is also doing this for Zhu Yingtai's own good. Zhu Yingtai is lazy and doesn't know how to grow crops. She needs more than a dozen maids to serve her. If she marries Liang Shanbo, she won't be happy!"
"Will Zhu Yingtai be happy if she marries into the Ma family? The Ma family and the Zhu family are marrying each other because of their family backgrounds. Only Liang Shanbo truly loves Zhu Yingtai!"
The audience was entangled in love and family background, but film critics saw through Lin Fan's hidden ambition and intention in this passage: the love story is just a beautiful cover, and historical reflection is the real core to be expressed.
But at this moment, no one could convince anyone else, so they could only temporarily suppress the desire to argue and continue watching the movie.
Liang Shanbo was speechless and had to agree to Zhu's mother's request. However, after he prepared the paper and pen, Liang Shanbo spat out a mouthful of blood on the letter before he could write a single word.
"ah!"
Seeing Liang Shanbo vomiting blood, the audience's hearts were gripped.
Zhu's mother brought back Liang Shanbo's blood letter, which was secretly given to Zhu Yingtai by the maid. Zhu Yingtai hurriedly opened the letter, but only saw a shocking pool of blood! She beat the solid door with all her might, crying and shouting. The servants downstairs did not dare to stop, so they had to pretend not to hear it, lowered their heads and hurried away.
At this time, Liang Shanbo had passed away.
There was a sound of suppressed sobbing in the cinema.
But even so, the Zhu family still asked Zhu Yingtai to get married on time. Zhu Yingtai's face was covered with thick powder, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down, making Zhu Yingtai's face look like neither a human nor a ghost.
It was clearly a wedding, but the whole scene was so dark and eerie, like a horror movie. The audience felt distressed and had a chill on their backs. Their hearts were heavy and they felt like they couldn't breathe.
The special guests in the front row couldn't help but open their mouths and breathe deeply to relieve the suffocating feeling, trying hard to control their facial expressions and calm their moods.
Before leaving, Zhu Yingtai begged her mother to let her pass by Liang Shanbo's grave and see him for the last time.
Zhu's mother agreed to her request.
All the people in the wedding procession were wearing heavy pale makeup and marching against the wind like puppets. How could there be any atmosphere of a wedding? On the way to Zhu Yingtai's wedding, there was a strong wind and dark clouds over the city.
The wedding signs and lanterns were all blown away, and even the big trees were blown to the ground, as if something was guiding the wedding procession to the right path.
Liang Shanbo's tomb was located in front of the wedding procession. Zhu Yingtai fell to the ground from the bridal sedan, facing the strong wind, threw away her phoenix crown, took off her bridal robe, revealing the plain linen dress she had been wearing underneath.
The strong wind blew everyone back, except Yingtai, who ran against the wind. Then she knelt in front of Shanbo's grave, bit her finger, and wrote her name on Shanbo's tombstone with her blood.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The atmosphere in the entire cinema was extremely depressing!
When the audience saw this scene, they seemed unable to hold back any longer. No one knew where the cries started from, but the scattered cries gradually became one.
The heavy rain washed away the thick makeup on the girl's face, and the innocent and ignorant Yingtai reappeared in front of everyone.
Suddenly, there was an earthquake, Liang Shanbo's tomb cracked open, and a strong wind blew again, covering Yingtai's body with the red gauze that had fallen on the ground. Yingtai leaped into Shanbo's tomb, and the tomb closed again. Only a golden phoenix crown remained on the ground.
Everything returned to peace. The monk found the paintings that Zhu Yingtai had painted in her spare time in the academy, and tore them into pieces bit by bit, leaving only two butterflies, which fluttered away in the sad and beautiful afterglow of the sunset.
However, the audience's emotions were not comforted at all, and those with low tear points were crying so hard that they were out of breath.
It can be said that the more laughs you have in the first half of this movie, the more tears you will cry in the second half!
"Woo woo woo! Brother Fan did this on purpose! Why did you force Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai to death?"
"Fanfan, of course, did it on purpose. Didn't you see that he prepared tissues for us before the movie started?"
"I just want to ask, do you have any tissues left? Can you give me one? I have used up all of mine..."
For some reason, Zhang Xinlan recalled a detail from a previous movie, which was when Zhu's mother said to Zhu Yingtai: "If you walk any further, you'll be out."
Yes, Zhu Yingtai really went out and never came back.
