Movie Review: Green Mountains and Green Valleys
Christiana 2022-09-04 19:28:25
A rare masterpiece! The whole film is actually about the process of the gradual disintegration of an old-style big family under the pressure of the new era. However, the director made the pictures very beautiful, and adopted a false way of writing many of the actually sharp contradictions, so that the theme of the story has been closely linked to the protagonist's deep nostalgia and love for the green mountains and green valleys from beginning to end. So even if the ending is tragic, it is still sad but not sad~

Dai Bando: [Cyfartha is holding Mr. Jonas in boxing position] Now look, to make a good boxer, you must have a good... *right hand*, you see?
[strikes Mr. Jonas with a right jab, the force of which knocks Mr. Jonas into the wall]
Dai Bando: Now, you see, that is how you will punish your man - with a right and a left, and put your shoulder into it!
[Mr. Jonas is slumped against the wall, dazed]
Cyfartha: The gentleman is talking to you!

Dai Bando: Position again.
[Dai Bando and Cyfartha drag Mr. Jonas to his feet]
Dai Bando: Could I have your attention, boys and girls? I am not accustomed to speaking in public...
Cyfartha: Only public houses.
Dai Bando: But this -
[backhands Mr. Jonas in the nose, sending him sprawling]
Dai Bando: never use. It's against the rules. Break a man's nose. Now then -
[turns to find Mr. Jonas collapsed against the wall, unconscious]
Dai Bando: I'm afraid he will never make a boxer.
Cyfartha: No aptitude for knowledge.
