the recently released movie "if i'm the one who loves you the most" tells a touching story of being abandoned, not giving up, and then "giving up" for love. the film presents the daily work and life of a pair of disabled siblings, using a peaceful perspective to show the tenacity, optimism, kindness and love of disabled people, giving the audience a new perspective to understand life.
"life wanted to bury me, but i didn't expect that i was a seed." this is the attitude of fu jiayi, played by actress tong liya, towards life. fu jiayi is an orphan who was born without both arms, but like a "seed", she has the tenacity to "break through the ground". not only can she take care of herself and work, she also adopted a baby girl. young actor huang minghao plays the inarticulate hearing-impaired teenager fu manduo, who is like a brother and sister to fu jiayi and depends on each other for life.
tong liya uses meticulous body language to show fu jiayi's positive attitude towards life. fu jiayi works as an underground parking lot worker. soon after the movie starts, there is a long shot of her going home: she uses her feet to smoothly complete daily life actions such as opening the door with the key, putting away her schoolbag, and taking off her coat. things that healthy people can easily complete with their hands, she can also skillfully complete with her feet and other parts of the body. it is conceivable that the ability to take care of herself after practice makes perfect comes from fu jiayi's thousands of practices and her unyielding spirit. the image of a self-reliant and self-reliant character is vividly portrayed on the screen.
the unexpected arrival of an 8-month-old baby girl, fu diudiu, awakened the love in fu jiayi's heart. she and her brother fu manduo took good care of diudiu. as they spent time together day and night, their relationship with diudiu deepened. by the river where she was abandoned, fu jiayi promised diudiu: "no matter what you look like in the future, you will never be abandoned again." fu manduo initially disapproved of his sister taking in diudiu, but with his love for his sister and little diudiu, he quickly changed his mind and became a good helper for fu jiayi in taking care of the child.
faced with the question of "how can you take care of a child when you are in this condition?", in order to legally adopt diudiu, fujiayi had a kind-faced conflict with the police, the director of the welfare home, and a young couple. everyone had their own stance, and no one did anything wrong. in the end, reason triumphed over emotion, and the direction of the story blossomed with the brilliance of humanity, deeply moving the audience.
director liu fendou cleverly arranged a scene in which fujiayi struggled to change a light bulb with her feet at home on a rainy night, hinting at the reason for her change of mind. tong liya's performance was outstanding throughout the film, and this scene was particularly exciting and difficult to perform, which brought many viewers to tears.
fu jiayi and fu manduo are independent, self-reliant, and self-loving. they face the misfortunes of life with tenacious tenacity, warm each other with kindness and love, support each other, and rescue another abandoned child. in the end, they choose to give up adoption for love. this warm and slightly regretful ending touched the audience.
"if i were the one who loves you the most in this world" uses the perspective of film to focus on the disabled community. when talking about the original intention of the creation, the chief producer zhang miao said: "we hope to use a simple and moving story to reflect the kind and gentle mutual assistance between individuals, reproduce the image of self-reliance and self-improvement, and give us the opportunity to think together with the audience."
the film neither avoids the misfortunes of real life nor deliberately exaggerates the suffering. it focuses on showing the protagonist's positive and tenacious attitude towards life, allowing the audience to have more awe for every tenacious life. the film is warm, simple and moving, and can be regarded as an exploration of realistic creation.
