Watched this Romanian New Wave film with Teacher Bao. The hand-held lens throughout the film makes the picture often shake, and the sense of substitution is very strong, as if you are standing by and watching them silently, which also gives people a documentary feeling. The content of the film is also very realistic, and sometimes it even feels that the director just shot the daily life of an ordinary Romanian family. It seems that every lens is plain and unremarkable, but in fact every lens is full of deep meaning. I completely see the shadow of China from Romania like this. Relationships, human relationships, these elements are really too Chinese. In an era when the mainstream media could not speak out but knew well, we accidentally saw the past and present China from the present Romania. I just went through the college entrance examination last year. Naturally, I understand the importance of the graduation examination for a student. I also thought about studying in the UK, and I was troubled by the grade point, so I saw not only another China in this film, but also another myself.
The director seems to have not deliberately told the story, but the plot of the whole film is plain and there is no major conflict, but it makes people feel a lot. When we talk about fairness, we are still talking about relationships. The relationship web is the same as the spider web. Once you step on it, there is no chance to come down again. In the film, there are always people who say that someone else is a good person, and a "good person" refers to a person who can be connected through a network. Such "very good" is really ironic.
The mother in the film said, "But I know that fairness and desolation need to pay a price." We have been pursuing a smooth road all our lives, but the peaceful truth is just the balance achieved by the entanglement of interests. Once a link in the network of relationships goes wrong, This problem will expand, making the network of relationships fester and smelly.
It's really not a pleasant viewing experience. It's really dizzying to hold it like a home video tape. The film also has no soundtrack, only the dialogue and environmental sounds of the characters, which are too real, too lifelike, and too disturbing.
This film is a completely new world for me, who has never watched a Romanian movie.
