Does the director want to discuss the identity of new immigrants, or the plight of those who have left their homeland under the anti-corruption storm, or the fate of young people in small towns, or the emotional lack of single-parent families? Whatever it is, the movie presents a good story. There have been no feature films released in nine years. This time, the more commercialized operation and the brighter picture made many real literary and artistic young people unhappy, but as an ordinary young man, I think the director tells this story so moving that it is called good-looking.
A section before the advent of the new century was shot in 4:3 format, three young people in an ordinary county town. Although the age of the three people is a bit far-fetched to play a 25-year-old youth, the acting skills of the three make up for the embarrassment of their faces to a certain extent. Zhang Yi caught my attention. Originally, it was a soldier who came into the public eye by surprise, but now he is shooting a lesser-known work like Jia Zhangke, and he has also learned dialect. I feel like an actor with ideas. It may be that there are too few serious actors and too many idols, but it makes people feel that such a professional actor is like a spring breeze.
The film title Shanhe Departed came out after the end of the first paragraph. The English name is Mountains may depart, and the literal translation is that the mountains will depart. But where will the mountain leave, but it is the old people who leave. Fifteen years have passed, and the boy who played the big sword has grown up, and the picture format has become 16:9. The three young people of that year were in very different circumstances, but they lost contact. They could only meet again by borrowing money due to illness and the death of their relatives. The director used the actor's mouth to say a few words, and everyone can only walk with you for a while.
When I saw that the second paragraph was 15 years after the first paragraph, I vaguely felt that it would be a three-stage style, but adding another 15 years would not come to the future. Director Jia Zhangke is going to make a sci-fi film? Fortunately, it turned out that my brain was too big, and there were no aliens or anything, but the ipad was thinner and more cool.
In the last paragraph, the two people whose age gap is almost the same as mother and son save each other and comfort each other, they are just filling the hole in each other's heart. Although he made the decision to return to China to visit relatives, the young man panicked when he heard the lady who booked the plane ticket say what happened to your mother and son, as if he saw a black hole in his heart. At the end of the film, the two face the sea and the waves. The young man whispers his mother's name, almost crying.
The mountains and rivers are still there, Ye Qianwen's treasures are still playing, and Shen Tao is still chopping meat and making dumplings, but the people around him have come and gone, and in the end, he still has to face this loneliness alone. In the snow, dance the dance steps of your youth, as if time has not passed. It was a dance song from twenty-six years ago. It was light and cheerful, but it made people cry.
