Recently I have watched three directors’ movies in succession, which happened to be 1939, 1940, and 1941 for 3 consecutive years. These three are a bit different. Guanshan Feidu has a single plot, but compact and exciting. Although there are many characters, all of them are rich and angry. The plot of Grape began to be complicated and there were no exciting conflicts, but the fate of a family was ups and downs and the realistic portrayal of society. For the problem of suffering, there was a reflection of Christ and socialism. The film is more complicated. This is my biggest feeling. A film has actually completed a complete time record, integrating so many characters and narratives, memories, family life, family relationships, friendship, religion, and reflections on religion. , Society, coal mines, unemployment, strikes, discussions on strikes, love, love and lofty ideals, even the priest Groford took me to the mountains. My deeds at school are not superfluous. I am afraid that Tokyo Monogatari cannot achieve such a "life".
This one is very textured. Memories are precious.
The father is a devout Christian. When the last two sons left, the Bible read by the father was: "God is my shepherd, and I have nothing else to ask for. It is the green pasture he let me grow, and he guides me to the river. On the side, it’s him who restores my soul, it is he who guides me on the path of justice, in the name of God. Even if I walk into the shadow of death in the mine, I will not be afraid of any monsters, because your shepherd’s scepter guides me I, comfort me. You set a banquet for me in front of the deadly enemy in the coal mine, and gave me oily salutes.” So in the face of lower wages, he will definitely endure. Father is a respectable person, but times are changing.
My favorite character is the young pastor. He is so gentle and firm. He comforts an injured child. Faith can change the impossible because "God has also changed the inevitable." He helped me with actions and encouraged me to walk. He told me to keep faith, to pray, to really pray instead of screaming with religious thoughts, let your thoughts become reality, so that your prayers will have power. He encourages workers to set up trade unions to fight for rights, but emphasizes responsibility. He is neutral, because there is never an absolute thing. He has worked in a coal mine for 10 years, and after suffering, he can appreciate the suffering of others. He tolerated deacons in the church, because he knew that "life" was not that simple, and finally faced with being forced to leave, his criticism in the church was refreshing. He chose the profession of a pastor, and chose silent sacrifice and dedication. The director expressed his opinion with such a perfect character.
Love is also very moving. When it comes to love, it is especially sad. Many details are very good, such as knocking on the door of Mrs. Evans's house, the name of girl boy between the old couple...
