The images on the screen resemble a realistic narrative style, consisting of loose slices of life, but a complete day.

After the opening scene, back in the living room of the house, Rui was feeding medicine to a middle-aged and elderly woman sitting in a rocking chair by the fire, the woman's face was full of deep wrinkles, her long brown hair was messy, her unfocused eyes, and her wooden appearance was obviously mentally problematic, and she swallowed the pill without saying a word.

The camera is mixed with Sonny and Harold, they are sitting on the sofa facing the TV eating cornmeal batter, eating while watching some morning episode of the public channel on the old antenna TV, suddenly the signal is not good, the screen image is blurry, Sonny is a little irritated and says "Please!" Get up and walk to the left side of the TV, making a thumping sound.

"Try knocking on the back!" said Harold.

"Don't bother, hurry up and finish eating, the school bus is coming. Rui took the comb to comb her mother's hair, but Sonny was still patting, and Harold got up to help, and Rui shouted, "Aren't you hungry? Can you please finish his horse's breakfast?

Harold sat back down, and Sonny stopped.

The audience outside the screen knows more about the situation, in the perception of ordinary people, this is definitely a bad family, the mother is insane is one thing, everything can quarrel is another, Rui is a bad sister, almost every word is a swearing, not creating a little "family warmth", on the contrary.

However, the audience gradually understood why.

Compared to the previous scene, the two younger brothers seem to be becoming more and more disobedient, and Rui is losing the nurturing of them. She was rude, but she was very concerned about going to school, and she knew that was the most important thing. But what about herself? She looked like she was 16 or 17 years old.

In the panoramic shot, the three siblings are walking on a rugged mountain road, and Rui is wearing an old black coat over her dress. There is no beautiful scenery around, some are just bleak and dilapidated, the trees have no leaves, the withered brown grass on the side of the road is half a man high, and there are no vehicles or people to be seen.

The camera cuts to a wide angle from the side of the mountain, and a yellow school bus is parked in a small clearing on the side of the mountain road to the right of the frame.

"Try not to fight. Rui's voiceover pulls the camera back, and she says to her two younger brothers, "But if one of you gets beaten, you'd better both of you bleed a little." Hadro on the left and Sunny on the right both nodded, and Rui didn't make intimate movements, "Okay." ”

The atmosphere in the theater is getting colder and colder, and Rui is trying to protect, lead, and educate them, but what kind of education is she providing?

True? or False?

The camera did not stop, in the school bus, the three sisters and brothers walked on the school bus one after another, and there were more than a dozen children of different sizes sitting in the bus, their expressions were very unfriendly, and there was a noisy background sound. The two younger brothers walked to the back of the car, and Rui stood by the door and grabbed the handle.

The driver was a bald and white-haired old man who was as fat as a pile of meat, and when he saw Rui, he immediately shouted happily: "Rui, go back to school?"

"No, just a ride. "Rui is not angry.

The school bus door closed, and the driver said happily as he started: "You haven't been here for a long time, I miss you." ”

In the background sound that looks like a quarrel, the single person is in a close-up view, Rui looks at the driver expressionlessly, and says, "If you want to fuck me, fuck - you go by yourself." ”

"I'm not going to do that job for a long time. The driver laughed and said that the school bus was driving away in a bump, "Don't keep making fun of me." ”

"Bullshit. Rui said.

For what is happening on the screen, in front of a car full of children, the camera does not care, neither rendering, nor any emotional fluctuations. As usual, the children continued to make noise, Rui continued to stand there, and the driver continued to drive.

No one felt that there was a problem, as if this was the most normal situation, as if this was the way it should be in the school bus.

But the audience, especially the parents, was upset, and some of the rich children here frowned and frowned, even if it was a public school, it was too bad, right? Is it real or dramatic? Growing up in such an environment...... Rui couldn't really blame her for her lack of upbringing.

The scene is all at the side gate of the school, and the long shot, the two school buildings in the background are like simple factories, Rui strides with her hands in her pockets, and the camera moves sideways from left to right with the camera moving from left to right, with a slight shaking like walking. Three boys leaning against a yellow pickup truck in the back of the painting, all of them smoking, and one of them shouted, "Hey, Rui, have a shot?"

Rui walked straight by, as if she hadn't heard at all. In the middle of the quick cut, there is a fight not far away, a thin boy is lying on the mud floor and being beaten by several boys, there are several girls with heavy makeup or smoking or watching; not far away, a pair of students and men are making love by a white pickup truck, the boy is touching the girl's chest with one hand, and lifting it into her skirt with the other hand is moving.

The camera is still calm and cold, and there are no background sounds such as screams and moans, only the sound of Rui's heavy footsteps, and she and the others didn't make a fuss, she didn't look at them, like those who were just the most ordinary passers-by. When she saw a group of five pregnant girls walking with school bags, her eyes froze.

"Rui. "Come back to play?" they all greeted.

"Hey, just drop by. Rui responded, a little puzzled: "Abby, are you pregnant too?" The camera focuses on a blonde girl, who smiles and touches her slightly bulging belly. Another red-haired girl said: "She has suffered, she doesn't know who the child's father is." The girls all smiled silently, Rui also showed a smile on her face, and another brown-haired girl said: "It's better to be a handle, then don't worry about Dad." Abby suddenly spoke: "I'll throw it away if it's a girl." ”

"Gone. Rui had no attitude towards this and moved on. And when early pregnant girls go to school, everyone is so natural.

I couldn't see the teacher, except for the vulgar driver, no school staff appeared on the screen, only bastard students, smoking, fighting, fooling around, early pregnancy...... It seems that school is not an ivory tower to grow itself, but a melting pot that destroys itself and others.

Can the audience still not understand? Although this girl named Rui is full of swearing, it is really not a big deal compared to the other people in the film. In this kind of place, her education of her two younger brothers seems to be ......

A necessity, a correctness?

Men are just busy fucking like savages, and women are just busy getting fucked like barbarians, it's all shit, this kind of place.

It's only been a few minutes since I watched the movie, and there are a lot of surprises for the media!

Every section of the cold image tramples on convention, or flouts the norms of political correctness, including independent literary films, and such a sensitive topic, which is inexhaustible in a film as a theme, is displayed there, like a withered mustard, brewing a storm of unknown things.

And Cahill, Ma Ling and other film creators sighed a little, VIY is VIY, and their hearts are really big! Adapting this story in this way is the most difficult road.

The original W'sB book could have been made into a simple, direct, and effective feminist story, but it was not filmed like this.

In this opening paragraph, Rui is not unfairly harmed, it's not that the school is okay and the students have hope, it's just that Rui drops out of school because of her family. No, in this kind of school, her dropout is nothing, even her family plight is nothing, the children on the school bus, these people in the school, the cousins, which one of them is not suffering from the same environmental predicament?

The focus of the film seems not to be on a family, but on a region, but this is a feminist story about a teenage hero guarding the family, isn't it?

The problem is that this family is not cute at all, not warm or beautiful, there are not one or two cute dogs, or a little sister with a big smile, and the problem is that this girl is not cute at all, she has not provided the right education, she has not been hurt unfairly, and she is kind and capable.

An unreasonable and brutal family, a pair of brothers who are like wolf and tiger cubs, and a tomboy who swears at every turn, are simply a bunch of nasty people.

When a crisis arises, and such a girl wants to protect such a family, will the audience understand and care, and can it resonate?

There was silence in the Brown Bear Theater, and the audience saw that Rui was walking between two rows of shelves full of food, her eyes were watching left and right, wandering for a few shots, and suddenly she reached out and took a small bag of flour from the right shelf, stuffed it into a black coat from the bottom of her clothes, and then hugged her hands around her chest, and walked casually.

Regardless of whether the supermarket staff saw it or not, everyone outside the screen saw that Rui was stealing. However, just like the plainness of the camera and the silence of the soundtrack, the atmosphere since the opening of the film has already made people feel: so what? What else could she do?

Suddenly, before Rui could get out of the frame from below, she turned back and took out the bag of flour and put it back on the shelf. She paused for a few seconds before turning away.

Rui's calmness lets the audience know that she is not in danger of being caught, but out of her will...... She didn't want to do it. Maybe things weren't bad enough to steal, maybe it was her backbone that won in this struggle. And next time? There will always be a next time in this environment.

The younger brothers are getting bad, and so is she.

Oh! Clever story strategy. Cahill, Ma Ling and others saw that Ye Wei used the point of "persistence-abandonment of attachment" to make the audience resonate and care.

When Rui tells Harold to "never ask for what she deserves", and when Rui puts back the flour she deserves, she has the attachment of an unconventional hero, and it is a worthwhile obsession. In the real world, not all rights and wrongs can be clearly explained, and in a poor and dangerous place where good and evil are inseparable, she can still have a belief of her own and work hard to raise her two younger brothers.

In the way she could think of, understand, and be able to.

Why is she not kind? Why is this family not warm? People hope that Rui can succeed, whether she is a "good girl" or not.

In the heavier atmosphere caused by this resonance and concern, the screen returns to the dilapidated mountain house, in the narrow bathroom, Rui, who is no longer wearing a coat, is washing her mother's hair, and neither of them speaks; the scene is everything, Rui is drying clothes on the hillside behind the house, and all the clothes hanging on the clothesline are some old clothes; in the scene, Rui is sitting on the porch in front of the house, while nibbling on a piece of black bread that looks like mold, while looking at a recruitment poster, looking thoughtful, and suddenly sipping on bread crumbs.

Rui seems to want to enlist in the army because of her dreams?

Although joining the army is a symbolic masculinity, and she wears a skirt, it should be some kind of obsession, but after joining the army, you can escape from this ghost place, say goodbye to this home, you can think about your own things, and you will have your own things......

Sawdust flew wildly, and Rui chopped wood by the stake, the hem of her dress rolled up and tucked around her waist in her jeans, and her axe chopping was skillful and powerful, short and swift. Compared to the morning, there is a firewood pile that can sit neatly behind the pile.

After splitting another piece of wood, Rui exhaled, coughed and spat on the ground, threw away the axe, and sat down on the pyre to rest, with her legs on either side, her feet in black boots firmly planted on the ground, rough as a girl.

But she looked silently ahead.

At this time, a series of aerial shots of the scenery appeared on the screen, which seemed to be Rui's subjectivity:

She saw the open sky red with the sunset, and a flock of unknown birds flying by, and she saw the dead forest in the distance, and the desolate trees seemed a little soft, which must be the birds' safe haven, and she saw or imagined a brook in the middle of the woods, the water flowing slowly, quietly into the heart.

When the camera shot Rui again, I saw her hands supporting the pyre, her legs together, her body leaning back as if she was about to lie down, and her slightly upturned face suddenly looked beautiful.

At this moment, no matter what Rui was thinking, her soul was quiet, she was fantasizing, longing, yearning, and enjoying the tranquility that existed in the future.

The camera is so still, there is still no soundtrack, but the audience is still with Rui, those beautiful scenery makes people see the other side of this country girl, in fact, as long as there is a chance, she can and understands the bullshit of the city people.

That's what she wants, and that's why she's obsessed.

All of this is very quiet at this time.

Suddenly broken by the sound of cars coming from a distant mountain road, Rui came back to her senses, stood up and looked, and her expression of anticipation immediately turned to urgency! In the long shot, it is a police car, and Sonny's head is poking out the window from the back seat.

"the horse!" Rui scolded, rushed to the front of the police car, almost stopped, her demeanor was full of aggression, she shouted: "They didn't do anything! They didn't do anything! What the hell are you trying to do!?"

At the same time, the back doors on both sides of the police car opened, and Sonny and Harold stepped out of the car, who were still smiling, but Rui glanced sideways, and then immediately made a wooden face and stood up in a proper manner.

"Wild girl, I just took them all the way from the school bus stop. A middle-aged police officer, who was tall, had a serious demeanor and a pistol holster clearly pinned to his waist as he stepped out of the front door of the car. He looked around, and the camera swept away, and the blonde Milton and several other men were looking at him, revealing visible hostility.

As soon as she heard this, Rui's anxiety was gone, and she regained her cold stinky appearance, and said to the two younger brothers: "Let me see you in the car again, and you will wait to be slaughtered and fed to the pigs." The two brothers nodded hurriedly, and Rui said, "Go and carry the firewood to the kitchen immediately!" and they ran away.

"I was going to come too. The officer said.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Rui.

The camera is everything, the backs of the two people are walking towards the wooden house one after the other, and the police officer with depth of field is saying, "I have to say a few words to your mother." The camera cuts again, and the two younger brothers, who are carrying firewood, see the eldest sister standing on the porch, while the police officer enters the house.

Diagonally in the middle of the shot, Rui stands there, and the officer's voiceover comes from inside the room: "Connie, how are you doing? Can I ask you something about Jessup?"

There was no response, and Rui's face was expressionless.

Ratacing, the officer walked out, standing on the porch almost side by side with Rui, with a sigh, as if sad, pitiful, as if they were on the same front. Rui didn't look at him from afar, and said, "Just tell me." The officer asked, "You know that your son is on bail, don't you?"

"So what?" asked Rui.

"You know he made ice and spent years in jail, right?" the officer asked again. The camera swept over there again, the blonde Milton and the others, some were smoking, and some were looking. Rui's voiceover said in a light tone: "That was the last time, you have to have evidence every time, and this time you have no evidence." ”

"Listen. The officer said, the camera cuts back to the porch, and he looks directly at Rui: "I drove here for two hours, I didn't come to talk nonsense with you, who is not a drug dealer who lives here in a radius of more than 30 miles? I will appear in court next week, but it looks like I can't find Jesup." ”

"Maybe he saw you coming and hid. Rui's tone remained unchanged, continuing in hostile sarcasm.

"Maybe. But it also has something to do with you, he has mortgaged your house and woodland on bail. The officer said. Rui looked at him with a straight eye, frowning suspiciously: "What?" The officer put back on the police hat he had taken off in his hand and said, "Jesup has taken everything out." If he doesn't appear in court, according to the contract, he will be taken away. Rui's face changed, and the officer paused and asked, "Do you still have a place to go?"

Rui's right hand held on to the porch railing, and after a few seconds of confusion, "I'll find him." ”

"Girl, I've been looking for it, and ......," the officer stopped.

"I said, I'll find him. Rui said it again, even more resolutely.

The blonde Milton over there was about to come, and the police officer seemed a little cowardly, and put down a sentence, "I must let you understand the seriousness of this matter." And he walked away. The blonde Milton also walked back, and they watched as the officer got into the police car and drove away.

Rui was still standing in place, her eyes fixed, thinking about something.

Off the screen, the audience's previous questions are all clear, and that's how it is, cold and cruel. This girl, who was already overwhelmed by life, got nothing, and got a huge crisis. How is she going to find her father? How is she going to insist on what she is going to insist on?

She can't find it, or she, her mother, and her two younger brothers will all fall into hell, and like a wild dog, she will never have a future of her own.

The first 10 minutes of the show are just the first 10 minutes, and the first act ends in a classical three-act structure.
