A footnote at the end of the film "Island of Crops"

I saw a friend ask: Why didn't the old man get on the boat at the end of the film?

The old man had no intention of getting on the boat at all. Because the boat is so small, it can't carry two people once it's full of corn. Not to mention when the rain is pouring and the river is soaring.

Both grandparents and grandchildren who were present knew it, so the old man did not try his best to catch up with the distant boat, and the girl did not try her best to rescue the old man.

On the contrary, both of them behaved calmly and calmly.

Just like this small island, it is destined to be unable to withstand the miserable winds and rains in nature. The fate of the grandparents and grandchildren is actually already doomed, otherwise the old man would not have said: I hope God bless me to live until the day you graduate.

The island of crops is by no means a paradise that can be kept out of the strife of the world.

From another perspective, if the grandparents and grandchildren ignored the fruit of their hard work, the corn, they left by boat and abandoned the hard-won wooden houses, crops, and the habitation of the creator who did not belong to any country or faction. land. So, wouldn't the hard work and hard work for the past six months be in vain?

Where you come from and where you go, a life of origin is not for everyone.

For example, between Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, in principle, all parties to the conflict can be required to store weapons, shake hands, and return to one big family. But after experiencing so many bloody storms and charred souls, how can it be possible to let go of the past and feel at ease?

This is probably the historical fate that is doomed between Georgia and Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and even Ukraine and Donbass, Bosnian Serbs and Muslim Croats.

    The war wounds expressed by another method, just like kumquats, are stored in the iPad, and the front and back feet can be viewed. There are almost no lines, all of them are the sound of wind, water, the whirling of crops, footsteps, and the sound collection is excellent; the plot is slightly protracted, which can easily arouse the irritability of the viewers, and indeed the picture is too boring; Features.

    The political metaphor reminds me of [Kumquat], which was nominated for the top five Oscars last year. The layout of this film has become smaller and more minimalist. You can even say that its very little dialogue is a bit deliberate, just like the Russian director Alexander Cole. The [Test] without dialogue. For the well-organized play text, the creator may worry that the audience will be bored to death, so the girl in Sichun will take off all her clothes when she has nothing to do.
