"Song of the Earth"

Thick master strokes.

Kittens are cute, and good things should appear in movies. Don't show up for the annoying old woman.

Open Apu's eyes through the quilt: The debut of the important person must be ingenious.

There's a scene a lot like "King of the Hill," where the family is redeemed after the worst of times.

Characters run in the beautiful scenery, accompanied by distant music.

Looking for my sister in the sugarcane field: Small things need to be said indefinitely.

Thunderstorm sky open wasteland.

Very "relaxed" images such as fishing and cattle herding.

Photographing a wet puppy while it's raining, from an animal perspective.

Are you proficient in changing your hijab after a cold?

There is no sad scene after the daughter's death, but the ordinary scene of Apu brushing his teeth and combing his hair, and the mother fetching water. When the father gets back the headscarf he bought for his daughter, it breaks out completely. Is this the master?

Stealing Beads: There is always a secret left to be revealed at the end.

Accidental deaths occur in such seemingly peaceful films.

study notes:

Its naturalistic aesthetic consciousness is distinctly different from the naturalistic literary school in the sense of western literature. It is closely related to the concept of "harmony between man and nature" in the aesthetic culture of oriental films, and realizes the self-knowledge of individual people and the exchange and communication between man and nature.

The reeds swayed with the wind, the train galloped away, the torrential rain poured down, and the wind howled; the father's optimism, the mother's patience, spiders walking in broken bowls, snakes walking in ruined houses, it is a disaster of heaven, and it is a suffering of people—— It is the pain of having to leave home. Rey sees it all with grim eyes, a realist epic of the populace.

The camera is simple and simple, and the soundtrack is like crying.

Rey eclipsed all the country films of later generations with a song of the road.

The most chiseled work in the series.

    Inexplicably gone, supplementary standard: 18.10.11, the first Rey. "I have never seen such an Indian movie" is the most promising and most suspenseful. Strengthening the "impermanence" in a weak dramatic atmosphere, and opening up the relationship between the character's spiritual outlook and "poetry" under the impeccable quality of life, I was conquered by these two points.

    One of the "Apu Trilogy" turned out to be Rey's debut. The work with the least trace of axe in the series is also the one that best fits the character of "ge" in the Chinese title. It doesn't exaggerate misery or hardship. It just shoots life into a long song, and poverty is the prolonged vibrato but never crying. It's the "childhood past" that every director may shoot, but it doesn't mix too much with the background of the times and the feelings of family and country. The biggest difference from children's movies is that what children provide is not a point of view but a line of sight. Compared with Apu's clear and watery eyes, what makes me unforgettable is my aunt's smile. The moment the body touched the ground and the soul soared, a heartbreak for the passing of life penetrated the audience. #BJIFF9#

    Harihar Ray: Some certainly do.

    Sarbojaya Ray: Isn't there a ghat by the river where priests sing and recite from the scriptures?

    Sarbojaya Ray: They earn a lot there, right?

    Harihar Ray: I suppose.

    Sarbojaya Ray: Then let's go.

    Harihar Ray: We can't do that.

    Sarbojaya Ray: Why not?

    Harihar Ray: How can we? I left there to return here to my ancestral home. I can't go the other direction now.

  • Sarbojaya Ray: This is my home now too. But just look at it. It's like living in the jungle. Jackals prowling around as soon as night falls. No neighbors to sit and talk to. When you're not here, I'm terribly uneasy. But you wouldn't understand. You eat and sleep and go about your work, unconcerned whether you're paid or not. I had lots of dreams too. All the things I wanted to do...
