Impressed at the beginning of simple literature and art

It used to be really professional to write film reviews...
but the personality of singing high-profile has not changed, just a childcare of Zhang Yimou...

Film Critic's "My Father and Mother" I

watched Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother" yesterday, and I understand that there is a reason why Laomouzi has won awards internationally.

The plot is so simple, yet the production is exquisite. To the point of almost flawless (totally suck up!). The rural girl fell in love with the young gentleman who came to teach in the village. After many twists and turns, the lover finally got married, leaving a good story for the younger generation.

Not to mention the shooting technique, the audience is enjoying At the time, I can always feel something that is always surging in Zhang Yimou's films, that is, the strong, simple and primitive folk customs. This kind of feeling comes from people's hearts and is easy to resonate.

It was in the 1950s and 1960s, and free love was still fresh. The two young people who fell in love at first sight were so beautiful and lovely. Zhang Di'er (di'er?) played by Zhang Ziyi (what a pure girl back then) can be said to be a lively actor. Heart-warming, that kind of infinitely shy yet frank and unrestrained enthusiasm, swayed like light and heat, natural and simple, making people feel more intimate. In the process of a series of "Huangqiufeng" later, she even more Chinese women's Diligence and ingenuity are brought into full play. It seems that when she wraps dumplings and bakes scallion pancakes by herself, her sweetheart can eat her pure heart. It is more euphemistic than the undisguised straightforwardness of hugging nowadays. Understated, yet very captivating.

The shaping of the male protagonist is only a side. In the play, his voice as a village teacher leading the children to read the text is an important clue. In Thiel's mind, "No one can match his voice, I Forty years of listening is not enough..." Rather than saying that the teacher's elegant appearance attracted her, she was moved by the virtues he was willing to dedicate to this rural primary school. Later, he left inexplicably, and people's Just a few words. The audience can understand his identity, status, and thoughts. The character is placed in a specific environment, and it can be guessed without much thinking. "Father" only appeared as a young man's image a few times, but he can He left an extremely deep impression. At the end of the film, when his body was transported back to the primary school, the students who benefited from him came back from a long distance, and silently saw him off in the wind and snow, which also reflected a sense of A kind of tragic and sublime that fills the sky and the earth. The director made the blizzard appear in the background more than once, perhaps the purpose is to fight against the confrontation between man and nature, showing the spirit that is difficult to form outside. Some of the students from the peasant family, and some still come with a car..." If there was no "father" who sowed the seeds of education and intelligence in the poor mountain ditch, I am afraid that these peasant children would never see the world outside Dashan Col in this life

. One of the major features of the film is that the pictures are beautifully shot and pleasing to the eye. This veteran director who has been engaged in photography, boldly used new people when shooting , not only insisting on revealing his own glory, but also not forgetting to praise the actor's personal Talent. I have a very clear impression of a scene. When Tiel is flying in the maple leaves all over the mountains and plains, as light as a deer, as dazzling as a butterfly, as cheerful as a clear spring, a pair of clear and affectionate eyes lingeringly looking forward to the camera, the surroundings are full of It is the overlap and alternation of light and shadow, the color is smooth and romantic to the point of suffocation, I just feel that the whole heart is about to burst out for that piece of gold.

The success of also lies in its excellent soundtrack. There is very little dialogue in the film, and it relies heavily on narration and music. The narration prompts the plot, and the music does not constantly pull the audience's emotions, like an iron ironing the body up and down It's hot, obedient, and comfortable. Music has no boundaries, no matter your skin color, race, international, gender (these are not very related to each other... It was really a trend at that time, and you had to come up with any word. It's not surprising that the film's French premiere won hundreds of journalists standing up and applauding for three minutes. Earned It makes sense for me to have tears in my eyes.

Postscript: Actually, I am very grateful to my high school Chinese teacher, both now and then, Her Chinese teaching methods are all first-class, she knows how to keep pace with the times, and her ideas are novel (of course, no matter how novel she is, there is a large circle of exam-oriented education in charge), I remember she took us to watch many excellent movies, , < Twelfth Night>, ...My love for movies is strengthened because of her~
Although there are many controversies about her, in my heart, I still feel that her role in guiding and encouraging me is irreplaceable, Here, a deep bow to express my supreme gratitude.
