The only film that IDF wanted to watch this year was because I missed it on the Shanghai Film Festival (I wanted to watch it with An Zhe’s "Beekeeper" at the time, but the time was staggered), and the other was because my grandfather was also a raiser. Bee-man, his mother also made a short documentary about her grandfather when she was young. Therefore, I have a special emotional foundation for beekeepers and bees, and many scenes in the film also have strong empathy.
The film captures many delicate behaviors of the heroine, caressing the bee on her hand to let it fly away, using leaves to help the drowning bee escape, and constantly kissing her mother, etc. Behind these delicate behaviors is the hostess’s treatment of the bees to the natural environment. The fraternity, the love for the mother.
At the same time, all the contradictions in life are also presented to us one by one, not only between family and family, but also within the family.
The little boy was dissatisfied with his father's utilitarianism and harshness. He ran away from home and followed the beekeeper to pick bees. Even though he was finally brought home by his father, he seemed to express the consciousness of a child and cherish the emotions between bees and bee pickers. ; Thinking of the whole family of children in Turkey, the beekeeper confided to her mother the worries of childlessness, the resentment between the mother and daughter died early, only a little joking encouragement: "You will find the object", a kind of faint sorrow Flowing slowly.
Film photography is also very brilliant, big vision, back-lighting lens assembly, hand-held camera to capture the process of catching cows and so on. Especially after the death of her mother at the end, the beekeeper once again came to the cliff to catch bees. She also gave a backlighting lens, but this time it was no Turkish boy who accompanied her, but the black dog that followed her all the way, sharing The delicacy of the land of honey.
After the screening, the photographer said that the main line of the original film was an environmental documentary, but the emergence of the Turkish family naturally gave rise to more exciting themes, which added emotion and conflict to the film. As the "Complete Handbook of Documentary Creation" says: "After watching this series of events full of meaning, emotion and contradiction, reason and emotion have been sublimated."
There is not much I want to express. I hope that in the future, we can record some stories of Chinese beekeepers such as grandfathers and uncles on the basis of mothers.
