建国70周年影展第4场，本次影展选的四部作品看罢感觉一部比一部好，但也没有达到五星的程度，开头就足够引人入胜，中段多处群戏(开头也是)均采用近景与特写以快节奏剪辑的方式营造氛围(表达方式和效果类似于戈达尔的跳切)，因为看结尾好像是真实事件改编，所以不好说结尾毁了全片，只是如果这部作品是想表达愚公移山式的与自然抗争，人定胜天的主题，导演的创作方式从一开始就出了问题，因为无论是故事还是镜头抑或是多处插叙呼应在孙旺才死前表达的都是宿命(钉棺材板给钉子特写与开头呼应)(放羊者的插叙)，因而本片结尾处理之后诸如“断孙井”之类原先看似闲笔的部分在成为重要暗示之后到了结尾又一次成为了无关紧要的闲笔，与之前营造的宿命感无疑是不符的.
p.s. 张艺谋演得极为出彩，不当演员真的可惜了
It's an interesting movie. I've never seen anything like it. But maybe it has lost its context but I don't think the satire/message or whatever is very deep. They still kinda made JD and Veronica cool for some reason. This is not nihilism or anarchism or whatever. It's just a few teenagers who are weak to peer pressures trying to make their insecurities seem cool. And the fact that some film watchers thought there's something more to it kinda proved the point of the film.
浮水镇莲生纸扎铺今日来了一位客人.
来人名叫陆小笙，是消闲报的民俗记者.
这次来到纸扎铺，是想向纸扎铺老板南裳打听一桩奇闻异事.
据说那是二十年前，百贵镇乔府小姐乔媛媛枉死，乔管家请纸扎匠刘三为乔媛媛做了纸人陪葬.
刘三给纸人点了眼睛，导致乔媛媛借纸人回魂杀了乔老爷.
陆小笙并不相信这种封建迷信的说法，可当年和这件事有关的人都已经故去.
他打探到南裳便是刘三的徒弟，所以他此次前来，就是想从南裳口中了解这件事背后的真相.
