"Forever" was shown in the national cinema on March 22, and it won the attention and praise of the audience all the way. By the morning of March 30th, 10, it had already made a box office of 38.49 million yuan, which was obviously better than the realistic film Balcony released earlier, and also surpassed Bai Xue's Over Spring. It can be said that it is a hot domestic realistic film this year.
A 30-year feud is about the feud between two families, an unjust story caused by children and the future.
The east wind of reform and opening up is slowly coming. Liu He, who lives in Inner Mongolia, is an industrial worker in a state-owned machinery factory in Inner Mongolia. Their only son, Liu Xing, is lovely and naughty, and is the mediator of monotonous family life all day long.
Shen Yingming, a neighbor who lives in a tube-shaped apartment with Liu, Liu and Liu, is also a worker in the factory. Because of the friendship of the working class, the relationship between the two families has been good. Shen Yingming and Li Haiyan's only son Shen Hao often play together, because their age and personality are similar to Liu Xing's, and then they become best friends.
One day, Wang Liyun found out that she was pregnant with a second child and told her best friend Li Haiyan. As a factory cadre, Li Haiyan thought that the second child could not be kept, and tried to persuade Wang Liyun to abort the child.
As a result, Wang Liyun went to the hospital for an abortion under pressure from all sides. However, due to limited medical conditions, the process of induced abortion made her unexpectedly lose her fertility forever.
It never rains but it pours. Wang Liyun was still immersed in the pain of losing her ability to be a mother again and suffering from physical and mental pain. A few years later, she suffered another bad news. She and Liu Yao-jun's only son, Liu Xing, were persuaded and encouraged by their friend Shen Haolian to jump into the water and drowned unexpectedly.
Continuous blows made Liu He exhausted physically and mentally, and his spirit almost collapsed. At this time, they just caught up with the factory to "reduce staff and increase efficiency". Being fired, Liu's job is in jeopardy. They decided to leave this sad place and travel to the south.
In Fujian, the two worked hard to make ends meet. Life was just getting better, but they met an abandoned boy by accident. The boy Liu Faxian looks a little similar to his drowning son Liu Xing, so they adopted the child and named it Liu Xing.
In their daily growth, children inadvertently know the secret of their adoption by Liu. Liu Xing, who couldn't accept the reality, ran away from home rebelliously and stayed with a group of gangsters. No matter how Liu and his wife explain, they don't want to go home.
While Liu was working in the south, he suddenly received the news of Shen Moli's visit. It turned out that Liu, who was in the factory that year, took Shen Jasmine as his master.
I thought it was my female apprentice who came after me, but I didn't expect that Shen Moli, who has been silently loving Master, caused Liu Dadan's enthusiastic hook-up. Once derailed, Shen Moli found herself pregnant with Liu's child, so she found Liu, explained the truth of pregnancy, and negotiated with Liu: either have children or lose marriage; Either you want a wife or you lose your children.
When Wang Liyun, who was black and blue, knew the details, she fell ill again. This time, Liu chose a wife who lived alone.
Many years later, news came from the north that Li Haiyan had brain cancer and died soon. So, Liu set out with his family and returned to the sadness of that year. For many years, it seems like a lifetime ago. The situation in the factory area has changed. Li Haiyan, once a good friend, is terminally ill, and Shen Hao, once a "good brother" of the children, has grown up.
Moved by this scene, the couple calmly accepted Shen Hao's "truth" and apology for more than ten years. They knew he didn't mean to, but the child died because of him. After so many years, they became numb and learned to let go.
Finally, Liu Xing, the adopted son, came back with his girlfriend and called Liu "Dad". Liu He, who looks old, seems to have found a glimmer of hope in life.
Roy, who plays Liu He, won the Best Actor and Actress Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.
In the film, they won the unanimous recognition of the audience with their characterization and nearly perfect acting skills spanning 30 years.
In fact, besides starring Wang Jingchun and Yongmei, the acting skills of Du Jiang, Aaliyah and others should not be underestimated. It is their successful interpretation that supports the frustrations and helplessness of this "troubled couple".
In addition, Liu Xing, played by Roy, was well received by the audience. In the film, Roy plays the rebellious and impulsive side of his adopted son Liu Xing very well, especially after an inner ideological struggle, and finally returns to the complexity of his family, which is very wonderful.
