(Written by Zhi Ning on September 8, 2008)
Many people sing a song when they are happy and also when they are sad. For myself, I watch a movie when I am sad and a movie when I am happy, just like the French song "Magic". As sung in "The Great Dao" - "...the dialogue on the big screen day and night, like the wind, came and went in her ears, so she looked down on other people's love, but sometimes, a picture also It will make her moved... Her tears flowed down, when the 'end of the play' appeared on the screen."
Looking back on the movie viewing process, I can't help but thank those days with good movies, in the joys and sorrows of light and shadow, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, Quietly savoring the various tastes of life, then standing in the sun with a smile, taking a deep breath, and moving on.
At the end of 2006, due to the death of a loved one, even though I cried bitterly in the days of mourning, I still had an intractable emotion in my heart, so I reviewed the Italian film "The Son's Room (LA"), which led my mood out of the trough at the end of 2003. STANZA DEL FIGLIO)", especially the second half of the film, whenever the hardships are lacking and the mood is at the bottom, I will pick it out and see it, and get some kind of clumsy but effective way to get out of the bottom.
This simple temperament, delicate performance, and strong expressive film flow with two seemingly contradictory emotions, deep sadness and faint warmth. The plot of the film is not complicated, but it is very sad. It tells the story of how an Italian family is Gradually getting out of the deep pain and psychological haze of losing a loved one, its meticulous sadness is like an unhurried propositional movement, and its spiritual enlightenment is like a glimpse of the faint starlight under the icy sky, which leads the way. People are climbing on the long and unbearable road of sadness. After walking through a landscape, it quietly leaves. However, at this time, the traveler will not stop because of its departure... In the process of "curse", the film is presented in a soothing and highly layered way, accurately reproducing the shock, pain, suffering and inability to extricate people when faced with a devastating blow, especially the self-adjustment that must be experienced in detail. and the difficult journey of self-healing.
The rhythm of the film before the accident of his son Andre was slow and almost stagnant, and the ordinary life was diluted to be bland, quiet, boring and astringent. Even if Andre teased the teacher to steal the fossil, it did not bring What a big ripple, however, in fact, that kind of diluted plain life is just a prelude. After the drowning accident, everything changed quietly and suddenly, and the film also entered a part that captures people's hearts more and more.
The film's father Giovanni (Nanni Moretti) is a psychiatrist, rational self-control, the mother Paula (Laura Morett) is beautiful and demure, the adolescent son Andre is introverted and shy, and the daughter Aileen is cheerful and happy. Aside from the stagnant and boring family atmosphere, this family with a wealthy life and worry-free food and clothing is actually living happily and harmoniously. The film's foreshadowing to achieve a gentle but intense effect later.
When a series of shots were presented one after another, the audience vaguely felt that something had happened-on the street, the mother was hit by a man in blue, Andre and his companions were chasing by bicycle and going to the sea for diving, and the father was doing psychological work for the patient During the treatment, the patient nervously said that he had cancer, and his father was on his way back... Then, the phone rang extremely harshly. The father learned that his son had died and his daughter was playing on the basketball court. Suddenly, he saw an unusual father appear with a basketball in his hand. The fall...
Then, the incomparable pain of the parting of death is directly and implicitly expressed: mother and daughter hug each other and cry, and in the coffin lies the pale Andrea, covered with metal sheets, welded, covered with wooden coffin lids On, the camera closes up on the insertion of each nail, the sound effects focus on the most direct and harsh sound of the tools used, and these are accompanied by the permanent dust of a young life... The father witnessed the whole process, as if the whole person was also affected by nailed in. This group of shots is as smooth as one go, but the inner screams are rolling in the calm picture, which has a shocking effect. The audience seems to have seen the family's heart is crying.
The father can't lie in bed and cry like a mother, and he can't open his son's wardrobe, hold his son's red sweater, and cry silently like a mother. Hiding in the fitting room of the shopping mall with a silent but ferocious sob, my father fell into the pain of bereavement that only fathers have. He seemed numb and dull, but in fact it was long and profound. A certain melody made him feel as if he had regained the feeling of running in the morning with his son. Pale and lonely, he sat on the crazy swivel chair in the noisy playground, stimulating his nerves over and over again, as if he was transferring that kind of life that he could not bear. pain. At the same time, he fell into deep self-blame and fell into all the "what if" assumptions. Hearing the patients' confidence, he could no longer control his emotions. He even went to the diving store to ask the reason why the diving equipment happened. ...
Nanni Moretti, known as "Italian Woody Allen", personally directed and shared the screenwriting work this time, and played the role of the father in the film. The wonderful acting skills of the film's leading actors highlighted the tone and harmony of the film The theme, a series of changes in psychology and speech and behavior caused by the fatal blow, gave a real, natural and well-defined embodiment, especially the continuation, gradual, gradual, lingering, lingering, lingering, and finally the final grief after the funeral. Liberation, all of which are reasonable and well-intentioned, this excellent film has won many important international film awards, such as the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001 and the International Federation of Film Critics Award, the same year at the Italian Film Awards for Best Film, Best Actress and Best Music Award, the same year the Italian National Film Journalists Union Best Director Silver Ribbon Award, etc.
Whether you suddenly question your beliefs or break your beloved teapot, you will always endure the pain you deserve, as if the end of any period of psychological mourning requires a special event to trigger, I once had a short summer with Andrei. The appearance of Anne, the girl they were in love with, made the family seem to have touched a side of Andre they didn't know about. They couldn't hide their surprise and joy, and worked tirelessly to assist Anne and her companions on their trip to France and sent them to They wanted to hitch a ride to the Italian-French border, as if such an escort was a shortcut to touch Andre's inner world again, and in the process, the pitted heart began to repair.
In the morning light, on the beautiful Italian-French border seashore, the rising sun shines all over the lovely buildings on the promontory. The father who had driven the car all night strolled with his mother by the sea, and finally smiled and talked about the love of the child, together with his daughter Erin Talking about the Andre that made them hurt... Andre is gone, and the family's life has to go on, but he didn't take away the memories in a hurry. Because of the pain, the family also let these Memories are more precious.

    There is no hysterical grief, but it is clear that the blood dripping from the heart touches the pain in my heart

    There are two kinds of pain that science, reason and even religion can't eliminate in a short time - the defeat of love and the coming of death. That's why Moretti set the protagonist's identity as a psychiatrist and described the sermon and sacrament. The shot is light and delicate, and it is a masterpiece. But definitely not worthy of the Palme d'Or, especially compared to [Mulholland Drive], the main competition in the same year. PS: Broken bowls and pots are irreparable as in the past. (8.5/10)
