Adapted from a novel by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay. Although the film has flaws in editing, rhythm, and actor performance, there are also many wonderful lines (such as two sisters and brothers chasing sugar men, watching the train through the reeds), as Sayezelei The first feature film produced at low cost is a work of genius. In the film, Ray’s montage is poetic, and the lens is unique. The pictures are full of woods and wind blowing reeds, and the emotions are more delicate and sincere. With the cooperation of the famous Ravi Shankar sitar and bamboo flute, they play an ensemble. The lament of a typical rural poor in India. http://mcyiwenzhi.blogspot.com/2009/03/pather-panchali-1955.html

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 has emotions. A lot of empty shots in the film show the vicissitudes of this ancient civilization that implied compassion.

Smart, not at the same level as the last two games. Shots used for narration, expressing emotions, establishing daily environments, or merely capturing landscapes have been implemented effectively and easily. Compared with most of the schedules of "Song of the Big Tree", they are hoarse and half the effort. The script is also well written, the story has not yet solidified into a drama, the branches of the plot are hidden in the greenery of details. SIFF2021 the 29th.

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...
