Chapter 580: It's really horse
On the big screen, Rui is walking towards an old tawny RV resting on the mountain, and there is a dilapidated mountain house not far behind. Rui walked up the steps of the RV and heard the sound of a baby crying in the voice, and Rui knocked on the door. In the diagonal middle shot, the RV door is opened, and a young girl holding a baby in a pink and white hooded cotton coat stands behind the door.
The girl was a little shorter, dressed in a green-brown jacket and faded jeans, wearing a small silver ring on her left ring finger, no other ornaments, long brown and slightly reddish hair draped straight behind her head, and her delicate facial features and no makeup, and her appearance was very simple.
In the close-up view of the side pair, the two immediately smiled when they saw each other, showing the intimacy of old friends. Rui on the right said "Hey, Gail" while scratching the baby's head, "Hey, Ned." Gail on the left breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness it's you, Sweet Bean." I thought it was Freud's parents again, and those two old things were always staring at me as if I had done something wrong. ”
"Can you stop saying that? You didn't live here because of the two of them?" cut to the outside of the RV, where a tall, blonde boy about 20 years old was sitting on an old couch, holding a bottle of beer and drinking, looking impatient and ready to get angry.
"Hey, Floyd. The camera reverses, and Rui outside the door looks inside the car, "Don't you invite me in?" Gail looked sideways at her husband, obviously unable to make up his mind.
"Come in, just for a moment. Freud said coldly, got up and walked with the bottle in his hand, "She has a child now." ”
Rui and Gail both moved sideways to the door, and when Floyd stepped out of the RV, they looked at each other and smiled.
The camera shows them walking into the narrow master bedroom of the RV, where several huge posters of race cars, heavy metal bands, and beautiful women hang on the wall, and the double bed with light brown sheets has some unpacked clothes. Gail laid the baby flat in the middle of the bed, pulled the clothes to the left, and lay down on the bed flat, put his hands on his chest, took off the ring on the ring finger of his left hand with the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, and exhaled: "His horse." ”
The audience outside the screen was not surprised by Gail's FUCK, and there was no one in the film who didn't swear except for children.
And all the fans who are looking forward to Alicia Vikander's performance have seen it, and there is no accident either! Just a photo, her demeanor, movements, and tone all tell her confusion, doubts and sadness about marriage and the current situation, and a sad early pregnancy and early marriage girl is already on the screen.
"He's been Heath Bowney lately?" asked Rui as she lay flat on the bed with her feet on the ground.
In the uplift trio close-up, Gail lies on the left, Rui on the right, and a baby separates them.
"Can you?" said Gail's soft voice with a sneer, "Heath is what he loves, and I just got it when he was drunk." She turned her head to look at Rui, and smiled without thinking about it: "I haven't seen you for a while, what are you busy with?" Rui couldn't help but exhale: "Sweet Bean, it's really good." ”
JUST-FUCKING.
The steady shot is cut between their close-up of the solo and the close-up of the trio, and Rui tells Gail about her trouble, and she is going to borrow a car to go to Ho-Kevre to find it. Gale couldn't be the master, and the car keys were all with Floyd. Gail gets up to ask, and Rae sits up, smiling and teasing Ned, revealing her girlish side again.
The camera is everything, Gale walks back, expressionless, "He said no." ”
"Did you tell him I paid for gas?" Rui frowned slightly.
"I told him, but he still wouldn't. Gail's voice seemed to wither.
"Why?" said Rui, anxious.
"He never told me why, he just said no. Gail was a little irritable.
Rui Tie raised his face, looked away, and suddenly said in disgust: "It's sad, sister, it's really sad! ”
Gail's expression remained unchanged, as wooden as a dead tree, and he fell back on the bed like an ostrich, and his dull voice revealed: "It's different when you're married." ”
"Surely, you didn't eat this before, not at all. Rui's tone was also low.
Ned suddenly began to cry again, and Gail turned to look, looked up at Rui, and whispered like a guest, "Ned needs to sleep for a while." Her blank eyes watched as Rui got up and left.
The atmosphere in the Brown Bear Theater is colder, but the smile of the cute baby and the girl brings a heaviness. It is conceivable that Gail must have been a youthful and spicy wild girl before, and then suddenly ...... If Songya, Victoria, and Connie are the three ends, and Gail is coming to a fork in the road, who will she be in the future?
In the side panorama of the screen, Rui walks down the stairs of the RV, while Freud in the depth of field on the left is peeing on the RV, and there is a gurgling sound effect.
Rui glanced at her and walked away, and Floyd peed as she said, "Gone?" and Rui ignored it. In the front panorama, Floyd in the back trembled and pulled his pants and said, "What are you dragging? Girl, you think you understand, but you don't understand any." ”
"Gail is not an item for you. Rui continued to walk.
"No one here wants to be evil. In the middle and close-up of the front of the single, Freud took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket to take the cigarettes, and said to Rui: "It's just that the people here don't understand the rules, so life is not easy." ”
"Fuck you. Rui said.
The audience has become accustomed to this vulgarity and coldness.
The film shows no mercy to women, and the same is true to men, a faithful documentary, uncorrected, unbiased, and unbiased.
The men are all irresponsible, Jesup is missing, tears stand by and give all the burden to Rui. What about Freud, what is a traditional big man and a teenager who is ruled by hormones, just like him, drunk and cheating on other people's stomachs and having to get married, and still maintaining a relationship with the girl he loves, treating his wife as an object. It's disgusting, but this kind of bastard is often sought after by girls, and what he said seems to have a deep meaning......
The people on the screen are a bunch of wicked people, why? because "the people here don't know the rules"?
It seems that only the police officer is a little better, but he is also timid and fearful, and it is useless.
After following her biological uncle, Rui touched the nail at her best friend, but she didn't stop. Unable to borrow a car, she walked on foot on the side of the desolate highway and beckoned a truck to take a ride. The bearded strong man driver is not like a kind person, no better than the school bus driver who is obviously joking, his lustful eyes and flirtatious words, "Little girl, do you mention that?" all made people worry about Rui's safety, and she said with a smile on her face, "No." ”
Ho-Kevre was another hill, the scenery was no different, still so desolate and desolate, with stone and wood houses scattered along the lowlands of the slope, and dogs barking as Rui walked.
The audience watched as Rui hit the nail again and again, and a young woman named Megan stopped her on the road, Megan's face was heavy compared to Victoria, but she helped. After learning of Rui's intentions, Megan takes her to find little Arthur. During the ensuing meeting, little Arthur hides his obvious uneasiness with a hippie smile, and he can't tell where Jesup is. Rui could see that the other party was lying, and from her expression, the audience also knew that she had guessed that something had probably happened to her father.
After leaving Little Arthur's house, on the way, Megan told Rae that she should go to Samp-Milton and ask, Samp is a big man here and should know about things. Rui listened to "that person scares me more than anyone else", and Meghan said, "It's natural to be afraid of him." He was my grandfather, but I never dared to provoke him. ”
Rui came to a very large house on the hillside, and several leashed vicious dogs in the yard roared, and a cold-faced old woman standing on the porch walked up. Hearing Rui's intentions, the old woman drove her away. Rui begged bitterly, and once again moved the blood relatives and said, "At least part of our blood is the same", and although the old woman still looked fierce, she changed her attitude: "How old are you? Can't you find a man in your family to talk about this?"
"I'm 16 years old, and that's me. Rui said.
The old woman seemed a little unbearable, and asked Rui to wait at the chicken pen, and she went to talk to Samp. Rui walked to the simple chicken pen in the distance and waited, the scene camera took pictures of the chickens in the pen, the chicken poop on the ground, and the vicious dogs walking in the distance. It was raining heavily in the dark sky, and Rui was squatting on the ground against the edge of the chicken pen, using that little roof to block the rain, but the rain still drifted or splashed on her, and she shivered with cold.
The camera was everything, the heavy rain stopped, and the old woman finally came from the side of the house, and Rui hurriedly greeted her. The old woman held a cup of steaming something in her hand, handed it to Rui and said, "Hot soup, drink it and leave." ”
"Thank you. Rui took a sip and drank it all, looking at the old woman expectantly.
Fans can see that it is the traditional women on Ho Keffer's side, they are not unkind, and they can be regarded as having good intentions towards Rui. However, the old woman brought cold nails, and Samp knew what Rui wanted to ask, and knew that she was asking around, but he didn't want to hear it. Rui was very dissatisfied, and the old woman warned her that it was better to be sensible and leave quickly, and not to come back and ask him a second time, don't.
At this time, on the screen, the old woman turned around with a cup, and Rui was still saying harshly: "Blood relatives are not even a fart for the big guys, do I understand correctly? Okay, you tell the big man on my behalf, I want him to live a long life in the hospital bed, did you hear that? You told him that Rui Dolly said it!"
The old woman in the depths of the over-the-shoulder camera turned around, and some cold anger appeared on her wrinkled old face, repeating: "Don't come again." ”
Single-person close-up, Rui looked stubborn, scolded this time, her fear became more and more invisible, and the wolf-like spirit became stronger and stronger.
The thunder brings the screen to the next scene, where the dark night sky is pouring rain over the lonely mountains. Rui hid in a small cave that only allowed three or four people, she leaned against the left cave wall with her hands and legs, and turned her head to look out of the cave, where a small pile of firewood was burning opposite.
The reverse shot shows that the rain outside the cave is heavier, and Rui's side back is drowned out in darkness, and her face cannot be seen.
The scene is sad, depressed, and there is nothing to call it angry.
In this place, there are no good people, no warmth, no hope.
But there is strength, a 16-year-old girl carrying such a family, and many things need not be said.
The sound of the thunderstorm gradually faded away, the image changed the scene, and in the morning, Rui walked on the slope home. As soon as the camera saw Sonny and Harold standing in front of the house waiting, they saw blonde Milton, who was smoking next to a black pickup truck not far away, throwing his cigarette butts and shouting towards Rui: "Crazy girl, someone has told you to shut up, you better listen to them!"
As soon as Rui frowned, he was grabbed by the arm of the approaching Milton and dragged to the pickup truck on the left: "Get into the car!"
"Don't touch me, get out of here!" Rui struggled violently. The brothers saw it, Harold opened his mouth in panic, and Sonny was already screaming angrily, "Don't hit my sister!" Blonde Milton looked at him, smiling strangely and distortedly. Rui struggled and shouted, "Boy, go back to the house! Make some mashed potatoes for breakfast, go!"
Sonny didn't walk back, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "No one is allowed to hit my sister." ”
At this moment, the nervous audience outside the screen was suddenly moved, and when it was in danger, it was also the time when family affection and courage appeared.
"Boy!" blonde Milton grabbed Sonny by the collar, "It's kind, but don't let this dare turn you into a fool!" He suddenly slammed Sonny to the ground, and the camera cut to the screaming Rui, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth as he fell to the slope. Harold winced and approached.
Milton let out a sneer. Rui stared at him like a wolf, and said in a deep voice, "My dad will kill you if he finds out......"
"Fart, when your dad was a kid, I had to beat him twice a year. Milton grabbed Rui's arm again and dragged her into the car.
"You haven't punched him again since he got a man's fist, you don't dare!" Rui said.
"He'll get in the car and take you to see something. ”
In the midst of Sonny's resentment and Harold's uneasy gaze, Rui is wheeled into the pickup truck by Milton, who also gets into the car and drives away.
Tension rises in the theater as the camera continues to record the flat, with Milton taking Rui to a charred house in the mountains, where he says, "This is the last place I, and the others, saw Jesup," and Jesup was killed in the flames after the ice exploded.
Rui didn't believe it easily, she had to get out of the car and go over to take a look, even if the house was still toxic, "If Dad dies inside, I'm going to take him back and bury him." ”
She walked cautiously to inspect the black ruins, the broken wall lamps swaying in the wind, the kitchen sink smashing through the floor and falling into the earth, the crooked faucet sticking out of the charred wood, and the weeds growing in the crevices everywhere, half a man tall.
Rui slowly retreated and returned to the pickup truck, her expression flat. The blonde Milton drove away, and on the way back, the two did not say a word. Rui looked out the car window, her eyes blinking for a long time, as if she was restraining something.
At this point, Rui knew, and the audience also knew, that ninety percent of Jesup was dead, but not there, not like that.
The scene cuts back to a few houses on the hillside, and the two get out of the car with the sound of the car door slamming shut. The blonde Milton said kindly, "Girl, I know that Jesup is gone, and your family is not having a good time." I know you have a heavy burden. Rui said as he walked away: "We will get through." ”
"I talked to Sonya that we could take Sonny over. Harold can't, but we're willing to have Sonny, after all, he's my seed. Milton continued, and Ree did not stop his resolute and vigorous steps, but said, "Die, you," and Milton exclaimed, "Be careful what you say! That boy is raised by us, and is much better than you and your mad mother." Maybe we'll be able to pick up Harold later. ”
At this time, Rui, who had walked to the right depth of field, stopped and turned around, she looked at the blonde hair Milton on the lower left, and for the first time showed the real ferocity of wanting to fight hard, and her voice became louder and louder: "Son of a bitch, you go straight to hell! Sonny and Harold will die with us even if they die, even if they live in a cave together, they will never stay at your house for a night! Fuck - you horse's blonde haired Milton, do you think I'm an idiot? The weeds in that place are all jaw high, and the house has been blowing up for a year!"
With that, she spat at Milton's feet, turned angrily and strode home. Blonde Milton stood there in annoyance.
Rui's outburst made the atmosphere of the theater much warmer, and people were really impressed by the change, she had been like a restrained hedgehog before, when she suddenly erected the spikes all over her body, the ferocity, anger, hatred and suppressed sorrow made people's hearts shake.
On the screen, two old rifles were taken out of the closet by the girl's hands, and on the hillside behind the house, Rui handed the two guns to Sonny and Harold respectively, and said, "I didn't know when I should let you learn to shoot, but now I'm afraid it's time, you have to learn it." ”
Both boys' faces were a little tense, and Sonny's mouth still had a wound on it.
In the long shot, you can see empty cans, milk cartons, and plastic bottles standing on a dining table in the close-up.
Rui taught the two of them how to hold a gun, how to aim, and told them some gun knowledge. When the camera was about to cut, the sound of banging gunshots rang out, and the two pulled the trigger again and again, and finally, a milk carton on the dining table exploded, and Rui's voiceover said: "Harold, that's it!"
At this point, cutting to the panoramic shot, a figure walks around the room, holding a large basket with something in his left hand.
The three siblings who heard the footsteps turned around one after another, and the two rifles in the boy's hands were suddenly aimed at the visitor, and the figure stopped suddenly, trying to raise his hands but could not lift the rattan basket above his head, which looked quite funny. In the middle of the front, it is Gale who is carrying the baby, and she hurriedly says, "God, sweet bean! It's just me and Ned!"
This dangerous and absurd scene amused many audiences, and the mood that had been suppressed for a long time became more positive.
Rui on the screen too, she smiled and walked quickly. The two brothers put down their guns. Rui smiled and said, "Gail Loquelen, I knew you wouldn't be wronged for so long, you would turn back into yourself, come to me, I know." ”
"It's Gail Longan. Gail gave a fleeting wry smile, "He's going to his horse's Heath again." She held up a bunch of car keys in her right hand and shook it, "But I stole my in-laws' old car." How's your trouble going here?"
Rui's smile was gone, "I was looking for it over the Red Pass, you can do you a great favor." She looked back at her two younger brothers and said, "That's all for today." ”
The camera cuts hard to the living room of the broken house, Gale reaches out and pats Connie's left arm in the rocking chair, and softly calls, "Auntie, Auntie, how are you doing?" Connie still looked calm, as if she hadn't heard it at all. When she saw Rui walking towards Ned with her arms, her eyes changed, she was a little suspicious and guilty, and suddenly said, "I gave birth to another child?"
Rui didn't speak, and Gail smiled and said, "That's my son, named Ned." ”
Connie gave Gail a deep look, and didn't say anything more, but seemed to say something.
"Let's go. Rui said.
The audience was inexplicably sad, and the two girls walked up to a red antique old sedan in front of the house, and Gail sat in the driver's seat and asked, "Does Auntie know what's going on?" Rui took the baby bassinet and sat in the passenger seat, "I think she knows." ”
"Don't you think you should tell her?" Gail plugged in the key to start the engine, and the car rattled and spewed a large cloud of black smoke from the tailpipe. Rui's voiceover brings back to the inside of the car for a close-up, "It's cruel to tell her this, she's just going crazy to escape from this shit." ”
"I don't think she can help much. The car finally started, and Gail twisted the steering wheel to drive.
"yes. Rui nodded.
The film has no soundtrack, the theater is quite quiet, and the fans and audiences have long been invested in the story itself, worried about the fate of the two girls.
It's night again on the screen, and the two take the baby to a house in the Red Pass and meet the female owner Aipurui. This is another middle-aged woman who looks beautiful and elegant after Victoria, and her home is also clean and elegant, with bookshelves and many wooden artworks.
Walking in such a room, Rui and Gail walked much softer, and their eyes were open.
A middle-aged man who looked very gentle was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV. Aipurui led the two of them down the hallway to a carving studio, where they sat down at the carved wooden table and chatted. Rui Dao made it clear, and Epri said, "Jessup and I have been separated for a long time", but she probably did know something.
As he smoked a cigarette, he said, "Just around the last time Jesup was caught, I got along with him for a while. A few months earlier, I had started dating Hubert. He's a good man, and I think we're both a good match, but your dad always tickles my heart more...... I met him unexpectedly the other day, and he still made me happy, so we hung out for a few more days. ”
Once again, Epry told the audience lightly and naturally that she was not a "good woman", but a bastard girl who did the same thing as Floyd.
There are bastards among men, and there are bastards among women.
Rui and Gail listened quietly, and Epri shook off the ashes before adding, "And then he left again." About another three or four weeks later, I passed by the Kuyshank tavern in town and saw him drinking with three other people I didn't know. None of them seemed very happy. ”
"Did Dad say anything?" asked Rui a little anxiously.
He looked at me, but pretended not to recognize. Aipurui took a deep puff of cigarette and then puffed out the smoke, and the baby bassinet was placed on the table next to her, and she said sadly, "It seems that she has never seen me before." Something must have happened. I felt like he was protecting me. ”
In the close-up of the solitaire, Rui is lost in thought.
A few moments later, the scene turned, and outside the house in the dark night, the two of them carried the basket and walked into the car to leave.
Immediately the scene turned again, and the car was driving on the tattered dirt road at the foot of the mountain, the headlights barely illuminated the front, and the car rumbled and clicked because it was very bumpy, as if it would fall apart at any moment. Rui struggled to hold the baby carrycot steady, but her body was tilting back and forth. Gail, who couldn't sit still, complained: "Our road is getting worse and worse, and it's not a road anymore." ”
"You've been saying that since you were in third grade. Rui talked.
"It was a truth then, and it is even more true now. As Gail spoke, suddenly the car came across a big pothole in the road, and with a bang, she almost jumped up, and sighed, "I sometimes wonder why they didn't fix these roads?"
"Nobody cares, I guess. Rui said again, not in the mood.
Gale is also asking every viewer why? The film is not only about women's rights, but also about the plight of the region. How do you live in such a rotten place, how do you adapt, change or escape, how can you live a good life?
What is the reason for all this?
Don't wait for anyone to think about it, in front of the car on the screen, the expressions of the two have changed. The car comes to a slow stop in the side panorama. In front of the car, a group of dozens of big fat pigs were crowded on the rotten road not far ahead, and a pair of sturdy farmers and peasant women were driving away with flashlights and sticks, and rude shouts came: "Lulu, go this way!", "Turn around and slaughter you stinky beasts!"
There was a farmhouse in the far away wilderness to the left of the rotten road, dimly lit.
The camera cuts back to the car, where both of them can only sit and wait.
Rae leaned back in her chair, and Gail took the baby bassinet from her lap, looked at Ned who was asleep in the basket, and said, "Remember when we were kids, when our parents were still pigs, they once told us to feed corn." She smiled, her tone revealing reminiscence: "But we thought that pigs had no hands and couldn't directly gnaw on corn on the cob." As a result, we stupidly rubbed all the corn off and fed it. Remember?"
"Yes. Rui also smiled a little.
"Our fingers hurt for a month... It seems to be ...... We were so stupid back then. Gail's voice had fallen.
Rui was silent.
And many viewers suddenly shuddered, and large pimples arose on their skin and hearts.
These two rough girls used to be so innocent, so kind and even for the sake of pigs, so "stupid", just like the stupid-forced girls in the city. After that, they can't learn to dance instead of feeding pigs, learn to sing instead of swearing, play the piano instead of chopping wood, go on a family trip instead of watching the family make ice, and eat Disneyland's expensive but not hungry meals like the girls in the city.
If they could, wouldn't they be city girls?
"I'd better go down and help herd the pigs. On the screen, Rui suddenly said while unbuckling his seat belt, looking ahead, "At this rate, we have to sit here all night." ”
"Yes. Gail put the baby bassinet on the vacant passenger seat and said to Rui outside the car, "Wait until I find something to tie my hair." ”
In the panoramic view, they walked briskly towards the herd of pigs in front of them, Rui had already tied up her dress, and Gail tied up her ponytail. The barking of pigs, the barking of dogs, and the shouts of farmers and peasant women all converged into a chaotic noise. Rui yelled "Woooo
Although the pigs were driven in the direction of the farmhouse, they were still irritable and messy, they snorted, and a few pigs rushing to the periphery arched towards Rui like a counterattack, she raised her foot and gave them some boots, and shouted angrily: "Go, fuck you, go!" Gail on the right side of the herd was arched by several pigs and fell to the mud, the peasant woman waved a stick and beat the pigs back, Gail quickly got up, Rui's voiceover shouted: "Gail, let's rush together!"
Rui and Gail reunited, both waving their hands and kicking their feet to chase the pigs together: "Woooo
The last shot of this night scene stops at the back of them chasing the pigs, the night, the foot of the mountain, the wilderness, the rotten road, the two young girls and a large group of pigs scurrying around.
Powerless, helpless, helpless.
Off screen, some audience members sighed in the theater, yes, they weren't the stupid girls in the city, never had been, never would have been.
It's good.
