2.2: "Sandbar Home" ★★★ Director: Andrucha Waddington. Starring: Fernand Montenago.



The story on the other side of the earth at least satisfies my curiosity. The film tells the story of a Brazilian woman who was forced to come to the desert from the capital at the beginning of the last century and has been trying to get out of the desert, but finally settled down in the desert and returned to peace. . The time span of the film is relatively large, from 1910 to the 1970s, which requires the director to have better control over the narrative. It should be said that the director did it. The plot of the film always revolves around the psychological process of the protagonist Ollie, and the directors who have nothing to do with it try their best to keep the camera simple. The death of Ollie’s mother, we only need to use Ollie’s out to come back, and Maria gave her grandmother’s glasses, we will understand; and the black Marsu, who has been guarding Ollie, for his feelings for Ollie, the director uses The blurred eyes gave us a hint, and then Ma Su saw the scientific expedition team that could take Oli out of the desert without telling Oli to show his feelings for Oli more directly; in addition, there were many more, without rambling, The simplicity of the images makes me feel more favorable towards the director. Regarding the plot of the film, it is understandable that Ollie insisted on leaving the desert when she was young. Having lived in a civilized society since childhood, she could not bear the barrenness and primitiveness of the desert, so when she heard the sound of the violin on the scientific expedition team Can't help crying, this is the desire for a civilized society. But the adult Maria also insisted on leaving, and even gave up on herself, which is somewhat puzzling. It is reasonable to say that this desert is where she grew up. She has never left. How can she have such an inexplicable desire for the outside world? I am afraid that it can only be understood by the unruly and genetic inheritance of young people. And Oli finally chose to stay. On the one hand, it was probably the emotional bruise after many failed efforts, and more importantly, she probably accepted and understood Ma Su. Many years later, Maria, who had left the desert and became an old woman, came back to see the older Ollie. Ollie smiled happily while listening to the music brought by Maria, but she was not as excited as before. Mother and daughter chatted, "Humans got to the moon? How did he get there." "In a spaceship, Mom." "Then he should be young when he comes back." "No, Mom, I think he should be older." "So what did he find?" "Nothing" "No?" "No, I heard he only found sand" "Sand?" "Yes, sand". So, we all understand that the director seems to want us to know that it doesn't really matter where we are, what matters is who we are with and what kind of mentality we live with. I suddenly remembered that Oli turned around and hugged Ma Su, who was just as old as her, after sending Maria away. Hug is more touching than Ollie's passionate sex with Ma Su when she decided to stay. By the way, it's kind of homey to see a familiar face in this unfamiliar film, and she's the protagonist of the film, Ollie's mother, Older Ollie and Older Maria, played by Fernand Montenago, remember her as Dora, a retired schoolteacher in Grand Central.
