Some people come, some people go

They are all masters who show their country to the world, compared to Akira Kurosawa, rather than Ozu. Moved by Ozu's "Tokyo Story", I watched Rey again and saw tears.
It is difficult to find genre characters in realistic movies. There is no negative side, some people may look hateful, but they will be cute again after a while. Everyone is a poor person, this is the reality.
It's hard to imagine that this is the director's debut, skilful and smooth. The long and short shots, soundtrack, sound effects, scene scheduling, and actors' performances (mainly amateur actors) are perfectly coordinated. Only at the very beginning of the film, Little Daraja went home to hide from his mother in the woods. There seemed to be a problem with the camera position and the direction seemed a bit confusing. It never happened afterwards.
It is not complete to tell the story from Apu's perspective. It was the child's perspective, but most of it was from Dalaja's perspective, but in the end she died.
My favorite scene is the scene where the reed swings watching the train. The scene is the brightest in the whole film. The sky is open. There are no trees, forests, broken houses and other people in sight... The two sisters stayed under the reeds and heard the train. The sound ran out.
Finally, when he moved, Little Apu found the beads hidden by his sister on the top of the cabinet. The beads were thrown into the pond, and the duckweed hole that was smashed out was slowly filled with duckweed.
The theme may also belong to the ambiguous category, with no specific values ​​to praise or criticize. The old countryside is both closed and lively, and people are conflicted and humane. Regarding the mother drove away grandma, until grandma died. They have been so noisy all the time. Auntie walked a few times and came back a few times... Only this time, she died.
The plot design is a bit old today, but the film is really old. When I saw Daraja praying outside, I guessed it. Although I guessed it, I couldn't help crying until the movie progressed.
The long shot of my father when he came home was really beautiful. He walked from the path, looked at the yard, looked at the cows, then looked at the yard, and finally walked in.
Music: The handwriting of India's national treasure music master Ravi Shankar, which matches perfectly with the movie.
Slow pace? I did not think.
The synopsis is a bit too ridiculous ~ unreliable.
There is so much worth learning. China is not just like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jia Zhangke~~ I
like the songs sung by my aunt. After her death, the singing sounded again:
some people are here, some people are gone.
After leaving, I took me to the other side of the world.
Day passes, night comes...

    I can see the beauty, from the text in the title to the scenery to the people, but I can't relate it at all. . Someone on the left is crying, someone on the right is snoring, and my heart is still like water. . I only occasionally feel that I can't watch this kind of film anymore. Indian men also exist just to make trouble. .

    Inexplicably gone, supplementary standard: 18.10.11, the first Rey. "I have never seen such an Indian movie" is the most promising and most suspenseful. Strengthening the "impermanence" in a weak dramatic atmosphere, and opening up the relationship between the character's spiritual outlook and "poetry" under the impeccable quality of life, I was conquered by these two points.

Pather Panchali quotes

  • 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...
