      Director said

      Marce Pagnol is a famous French playwright and novelist. In 1946, he was elected a member of the French Academy. In the 1930s, he was criticized by some artists in the film industry for his unique film insights (he denied that film is an independent art, thinking that film is a drama in a box), but he shot based on his own film insights The film, however, is welcomed by foreign audiences (such as American audiences) due to its strong local flavor (see the book "Marseille Trilogy"-"Marius",...

Especially farmers, crops and animal husbandry, need a lot of water. And just on this question of water, a kind of morbid humanity burst out. In order to grow flowers and make money, the farmer and nephew tried their best to get the home of Luo Guo, because they knew that there was a spring hidden there, which...

      Love Mountain City

      The most touching thing about this film is that the audience will know his inevitable destiny earlier than the protagonist, but he will still be moved by his scorching enthusiasm for life. The story is mixed and cunning in the simplicity, and warmth is permeated in the mind, so the criticism of good and evil can no longer write footnotes for the characters' motives. Linked to the next Fateful Samsara, if the two films can be merged into one, I believe that its display strength and overall...

      There are many stories in the small town

      Poetic Mountain City-Love Mountain City
      There is a saying: French novels will always be better than British ones. That kind of compassionate humane care is worthy of the birthplace of the modern Enlightenment. Lianlianshancheng, adapted from the novel Shanquan, is different from the sequel to the sequel. It does not have the tortuous plots, and more directly describes the kind and optimistic Luo Guo's fearless optimism. The indomitable opening of the mountains, but unfortunately the...

      The French are actually like this. For their own interests, they will not hesitate to kill their opponents, but they are also enthusiastic on the surface. No wonder it is said to be European Chinese. ....
