    The MOMA screening was surprisingly packed. I don't like it, I can't say why, but I always feel that the depiction of oriental culture is still rigid and solidified, like a pool of paint that has never been wiped off. But it still reminds me of Hou Hsiao-hsien's works about family, with a similar...

    Adolescence is not uncommon, but Yoon MacLaine type stories are more appealing to me. But with Indian colors, it's different. . . The Indian girl is so beautiful, that fantasy marriage and love story in my imagination reminded me of a certain imaginary plot in "Kiujiro's Summer". Be tolerant of the quality and acting skills of old...

    The love and growing pains of a young girl in Huaichun, as well as the attitude of compromising on life and focusing on tomorrow, are not as shocking as the love letter that falls on the ground when the baby falls. Childish love is as light as a feather in front of life and the future. Nian is crushed to pieces under the grinding of time. There is also animism about the reincarnation of life and death that Indian religions believe in, but it is far less attractive to me than the customs of...

    Another impression of India, it is really picturesque, although there is no lack of excessive colonial colors, and the description is so beautiful, and there are other people's eyes, but watching this film, I feel like watching Vietnam and tropical rain forests from the perspective of Europe and America In the same way, a rare expectation full of unknown mystery, what does this kind of gaze mean in itself? - We are all...

    Real poetic, difficult to reproduce works, Renoir's long shots are used to point out the life of the Indian people, which deepens the combination of religious meaning and folk life. The French, British, Americans have all found their homes in this land. The serenity of the goddess and the bodhi tree are extended to love, and the afternoon nap is used to imply eternal sleep. The river grows and flows, just as the girl is forever young in the...

    The most impressive is the picture of kites fluttering in the sky with Indian songs, as well as the large set of boats and rivers. I was drunk for a few nights before watching it. I told n that the world is so beautiful, how can I not love it? But three months later, I seem to be falling out of love with n gradually, but I can't let go. The scary thing is that it is too similar, like looking in a mirror, but unable to convey the similar passion in...

    This kind of genetically modified pastoral song for the second straight daughter of the Sovereign National Middle School, Little Joy and Sorrow, is too fierce with just a little...

    Renoir's more mediocre works, showing pretentiousness and awkwardness; despite being his first color film, he did a lot of color experiments, including dyeing the grass, in an attempt to achieve the splendor of Matisse's paintings. The original author Rumer Godden, who grew up in India, has its own limitations, a strong orientalist color, and is narrated from the perspective of British colonists (despite the seemingly innocent girl narration), and Indians and Indian culture are primitive,...

    I thought it was the Indian version of a day in the country, talking about the beauty and pain of a girl's first love. It turned out that when he went to a foreign country, he had to look directly at the essence of life. The sweetest moment of life and death, when everyone was taking a nap on a beautiful summer day, the god of death quietly took away young lives, the joy of life, the wailing of death, the river still flows continuously, Renoir has done it, His latecomers RAY and ABBAS did...
