      that was our life

      Watching "Guling Street" again, I sighed at the director's precise reproduction of the times. From the early 1990s to the early 1960s, 30 years seemed to slip away in a flash. His choice of main scenes revealed the unique emptiness and tranquility of that era. This is what Taipei in the 1990s no longer has. In an old Japanese-style house, under the yellow lights, family members quietly reading and sewing clothes. On the streets with low houses on both sides, father and son can quietly push...

      Light and Shadow: Contrasting "Sunny Day" and "Guling Street Teenage Murder"

      Midterm assignments for a class. ddl was written sloppily before, but it is indeed two classics that are very worthy of comparative analysis. I will revise when I have time during the summer vacation

      This time I want to write a little more serious

      When I watched "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor" before, I said that Wang Xiaoshuai or the directors of the previous generation would not appreciate Hu Bo's films that purely show their inner world, because they could not find an outlet for expression after leaving the era. , as if the "big era" and "individual heart" formed a huge split, and they could not understand and reconcile each other, which eventually led to the tragedy of director Hu Bo. And Yang Dechang's film...

      The pinnacle of creating a sense of space, a perceptual educational material for understanding women's psychology

      If the selection of the best Chinese in the century is selected, the film directed by Yang Dechang will undoubtedly be selected into the top ten.

      From the point of view of the first impression, too many ordinary audiences say Xiaoming is a bitch, and I have a completely negative attitude towards this. I think Xiao Ming is the most realistic, moving, sympathetic and loving woman in this work. Based on the aesthetics of today's idol dramas, Xiao Ming's facial features can undoubtedly...

      About Yang Dechang's "Guling Street Juvenile Murder Case"

      "Ku" is undoubtedly one of the greatest films in the world to date. It even made me regain my confidence in the people of the country. "Ku" has the common characteristics of most great works: depth, complexity (richness), seriousness.
      1. The meaning of ethics
      1 When we were young, we were originally kind, or we believed that the world was beautiful, or we originally had souls and beliefs. The Buddha said that all living beings have Buddha-nature. However, as the years go by, some...

      New version, four brushes. With a tedious meal of instant noodles and scraps before and after, it is almost exactly a Beijing-Shanghai line. A large number of trains to the south were suspended, the typhoon landed in Taiwan today, and the train went south, a gloomier summer...

      Yang Dechang's representative work, a 4-hour youth elegy. The characters are complex but distinct, the narrative is complex but not messy, the dialogue and details are vivid and real, and it can be called an encyclopedia of Taiwanese society in the 1960s. The director avoids close-ups throughout, and uses cold long-range long shots. The dim and dark lighting and zero soundtrack accentuate the brutal and realistic style of the film. Facing the collision between personal ideals and ugly reality,...

      I watched it for the eleventh time in Ximending. This time I saw a lot of shortcomings, but it definitely does not affect its best position in Chinese. There are many places that are clearly serious, but many of the audience members are laughing all the time. Alas, after nearly ten years of death, there are still no more people who understand...

      Experience Yang Dechang's delicacy and stability. Everything else is good, but the script is still a little exaggerated. This kind of realistic epic is afraid that the style will not be...

    Movie plot

    In Taiwan in the early 1960s, everything seemed to be gray, and the murky air also had a dark taste, and feelings of loss and despair hovered over the city. People from other provinces from all directions speak their own strong accents, Shandong dialect, Shanghai dialect, North of Jiangsu dialect, Sichuan dialect... They are busy in this city. The family members who fled to Taiwan with the army have formed small villages called "...

    Evaluation action

    The turbulence of the times is reflected in people's hearts. People meet the narrow road of history, people want to seize the way and escape, history has not yielded, and both lose in the end. The youth of the youngsters are like flashlights they stole from the studio. The role they can play when walking at night is really limited, but it exposes the loneliness and helplessness of the travellers themselves. In fact, this kind of...
