    The plot is very fragmented and does not emphasize "things happen for a reason", which points the finger at reality. Oriental stories are told in a neo-realistic style. It is very natural, the scenery is very beautiful, and the sitar will come to life as soon as it plays. The first half was a little joyous, like childhood memories, and then slipped into sadness after the heavy rain. The treatment of poetic reality is reminiscent of "The Tree of Clogs," which is hard to imagine as a debut...

    One of the greatest movies I've seen, a true oriental movie, it's touching, and it's a divine product that enters the realm of transformation. From the shots to the soundtrack to the overall rhythm, it's...

    The conveyance of all important information in the film has deliberately erased the expression of the human voice. The mother-in-law's last visit at the house uses a close-up of her changed expression to describe the fact that she understands that the family will not take her in; a similar example is the scene where the siblings find out that their mother-in-law has died, and the neighbors and father learn of Durgar's death. Rey is too good at using environmental narratives, as if nature also...

    This is too sad, woooo. How desperate it is to muster the courage to leave the country. The shot is beautiful, lotus leaves and dragonflies. India, where life is flowing, is also beautiful without the gorgeous...

    The first part of Satyajit Rey's "Arp Trilogy" is also his debut. Rey is determined to devote himself to the film industry because Jean Renoir came to India to shoot "The River". This "Song of the Road" took a total of nearly 3 years from the beginning of the shooting to the completion of post-production. Due to funding problems, the shooting was intermittent. It was not until the New York Museum of Modern Art became interested in the film and injected funds that it was...

    The world is originally purgatory, and I walked hard~ the first part was boring, and I looked a little irritable. Once I adjusted my mood, I would fall into the sad and sad atmosphere created by the director~ After that natural realism, I went to the father to return to hear the death of his daughter. This is the best~ There is no pain and disillusionment in the world, everything is...

    Life is joy, death is pain, joy and sorrow, all return to the dust. The shot is simple and concise, and the soundtrack is like...

Pather Panchali quotes

  • Sarbojaya Ray: Listen - you lived in Benares a long time. Do people know you there?

    Harihar Ray: Some certainly do.

    Sarbojaya Ray: Isn't there a ghat by the river where priests sing and recite from the scriptures?

    Harihar Ray: It's called Dashashamedh Ghat.

    Sarbojaya Ray: They earn a lot there, right?

    Harihar Ray: I suppose.

    Sarbojaya Ray: Then let's go.

    Harihar Ray: We can't do that.

    Sarbojaya Ray: Why not?

    Harihar Ray: How can we? I left there to return here to my ancestral home. I can't go the other direction now.

  • Sarbojaya Ray: This is my home now too. But just look at it. It's like living in the jungle. Jackals prowling around as soon as night falls. No neighbors to sit and talk to. When you're not here, I'm terribly uneasy. But you wouldn't understand. You eat and sleep and go about your work, unconcerned whether you're paid or not. I had lots of dreams too. All the things I wanted to do...
