This afternoon, I think of "August Photo Studio"

This afternoon, I remembered that the storyline of "August Photo Studio" was very simple: a person who opened a small photo studio went to work and went to work every day. The pacing of the whole film is slow, the narrative tone is calm, and the colors are without exception bright, and a single picture can lift people's spirits. Some people commented: "The wind is warm and the sun is beautiful, and the tranquility is far away." The

sick man in the film is gentle and calm, smiling and living a normal life day by day, until a self-portrait of him truly becomes a portrait.
In the camera, he often smiles gently and freely, and the reason for his smile is very small, trivial, and everyday, and maybe even you and I are too lazy to show it. It's not that he didn't feel the pain, sobbing under the quilt in the middle of the night showed his inner struggle; and the roar of the wine also showed that his temperament was not naturally not fierce.
Just no fear, no words or actions like "There are only 3 days left, I want to travel around the world", yes, he is just like an ordinary person, going back and forth between home, photo studios, and occasionally the hospital. The footage of the film has been following such a kind of life earnestly, earnestly making you feel that perhaps such a kind of life is the simple true face of life, with a truly significant and profound meaning, which is worthy of our inquiry; perhaps such a kind of life It contains the whole life; maybe everyone's life is the same, the differences are only minor details, it doesn't matter; maybe for people, one day to live or ten years to live, it is basically the same.
Look, people are so calm and calm about death; we are in a mess for a living. What went wrong?

Of course, in the film, besides the theme of death, there is also love. Can you imagine how a man like him faced love and how the director expressed it in film language? beautiful. real. When I watched it, it passed like this, and I didn't feel anything. Looking back now, I touch the soft spot of my heart. Maybe some films, you have to give some days, let it ferment in time, and brew a special taste in memory.

    A movie I was interested in many years ago, I remembered it by chance on the Qixi Festival in August, and just recently, I made a plan to watch the movies with digital titles in order, so I went with the flow to put "Eighth". "Moon Photo Gallery" is included in the film list. → I finally understand that, just like the countless photos I've seen, love can also become a memory forever. You let me go away quietly in beautiful love. I want to say thank you and goodbye. → Warm, romantic, beautiful and helpless, regretful, sad. → Li Jian's first album "Homecoming" also has a song of the same name "August Photo Studio". -13813

    Suddenly I envy this love like boiled water. I want to do a lot of little things for you. I want to take a picture of you. I want to open a soda can for you. I want to tell you a ghost story. I want to hold your arm. abandoned

Christmas in August quotes

  • Jung-won: [Sitting on a rubber tire in his old school playground] When I was a kid I always sat alone in the playground after the other boys had gone. Thinking about my late mother, it struck me that we'd all disappear in the end... my father, my sister, all my best friends.

  • [last lines]

    Jung-won: [narrating] I always knew that feelings of love would fade - just like old photographs. But for you... you will always remain in my heart, as you are in my last moment. Thank you, and goodbye.
