A very clean movie, happiness is the white teeth and bright eyes, sadness is the trance back and staggering steps, holding hands is the kind-hearted cleverness and stubborn enthusiasm, which together show the simple and sincere love of the father and mother's generation. The movie starts with the funeral of the father, and slowly cuts to the story of the mother and the father who met and fell in love more than 30 years ago. What impresses people is Zhaodi's red cotton jacket and red scarf, just like her inner confession, on a sunny day, she boldly and enthusiastically expresses her love.
Crooked a floor:
Mother Zhao Di liked the loud reading sound, and father Chang Yu liked this valuable three-foot podium, but their son did not like it. A child is an independent individual, and there is no need to live his life according to his parents' preferences. I believe that China's top directors will not criticize the men in the film. If this is the case, then why does the film specifically point out that the son did not inherit the father's business, and the mother ( Zhao Di) also disapproves of his decision? On the one hand, this has something to do with the traditional Chinese education model, in which parents do not recognize their children’s independence, always maintain the attitude of big parents, and like to point fingers at their children; on the other hand, it is also what I will focus on explaining below. , shows that she has no way to put herself in her son's shoes and understand her own feelings, and there is no way to share the grief of losing her beloved with her.
At the beginning of the movie, the relationship between mother and son is unspeakably tense. The man came from out of town to find out that his father was gone, and his mother was absent all day. At night, the mother and son talked about the funeral, and the man tried to persuade the mother to use the tractor to take the father away. When I picked it up, my mother was very stubborn and told the man word by word before the meal was over that it was not possible, and said that she would weave cloth for my father that night. At this time, the man was very passive.
When the man learned the story of his mother and his father, he slowly understood his mother's mood. When he went back to find the village chief, he had only one purpose, that is, to have his father brought back at any cost. On the day I brought my father back, it was snowing heavily with goose feathers, and half of my calf was buried in the snow, but the team was still mighty. Many people came here after hearing the news. They did not leave their names, but they were all former students of my father. The picture is very touching. The original school was going to be renovated. The man accompanied his mother back to the place where his father taught before he was alive, and took one last look. At this time, the mother shared what she and her father had been thinking about for many years, that is, she wanted a man to be a teacher, and the man was silent. The matter could have ended in the first place, but Zhang Yimou added the last scene very romantically, that is, let the man tell the children in the village a text written by his father on this podium. At this time, the barrier between mother and son, and even between father and son, finally melted.
How is this membrane formed? Youthful rebellion coupled with poor communication between parents.
How is this membrane removed? Get to know each other through past stories and then understand each other, and let each other face the spearhead of the problem through open-hearted communication.
The reason why the last scene is "romantic" is because too many times, we are reluctant to admit our own problems, or we dare not admit that we have problems; the second is because when we want to open up and let go , it is too late, time will not bypass the demand for life because of our "childishness", just like the father in the film who has no way to see his son and wife again.
One last thought, think backwards: what does it mean to inherit the father's business? In addition to allowing the family business of the older generation to continue to be inherited and even prosperous, so that children can directly skip the stage of the blue thread, this film tells us that it means more to allow children to have the opportunity to come into contact with their parents. Things, in this way, complete the last education of the child.
