      deep pit

      Children and animals are always the softest places to touch people's hearts.

      Except for the occasional explosions in the background, it is a peaceful French countryside scene. The scenery is beautiful, the people are simple and kind, and the meeting of two children is like two A small stream, temporarily intersected by fate, forms a small whirlpool, splashing a few strings of water droplets, and then drifting away from each other due to the arrangement of fate, destined to leave...

      childhood, a forgotten world

      After watching this children's movie, it is not as moving as "Life is Beautiful", not as interesting as "Little Shoes", not as heavy as "Mouchette", but only some bland confusion. Because before watching it, I thought it would be a touching, interesting, and meaningful story, but after watching it, I was inevitably disappointed. What is puzzling is that the little girl Paulette in the film seems to be too selfish, and her parents were killed without crying excitedly. My own puppy died, and...

      The lyric is brilliant, the reasoning is weak

      The fate of the little girl is moving and sighing, and her innocent performance, especially the cries of "Michelle" at the end, is really tear-jerking. The film is still very good in expressing the fate of a war orphan and the innocent friendship of the child, but it is a pity that the reasoning part is. Due to the limitations of the times, the film is not strong enough to show that children kill small animals - the mole was killed by the owl, and the death of the chicken is not clear, and the...

      "Jeux interdits": two little guesses [The 17th Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award]

      http://blog.trivialfilm.com/2013/01/jeux-interdits17.html


      The film won the Golden Lion at the 17th Venice Film Festival in 1952.

      The film tells the story of two children. The heroine is a little girl who escaped with her parents during World War II. In an air raid, when the heroine went to rescue her pet dog, her parents were both killed in an explosion trying to chase her. The heroine's dog was also killed in the air raid and thrown into the river by passers-by, but...

      The music that flows into the heart

      The poetic rural pastoral can not contain the lonely and the souls that are swallowing each other. The feeling the film brings to people is just like the genre it belongs to. Different from the "aristocratic temperament" that Renoir was good at playing with, Claire was more like a wandering and fearless painter of the new school, searching for his own material in the French society of that era, but with the ability to capture the soul with just a few strokes. Nothing can purify a child's...

      A clever fusion of children, death, and war. The most moving part is when the boy asks the girl, what about your father, the girl answers, he is dead, and when he asks your mother, the answer is that she is dead. The saddest thing for a girl is that her dog...

    As a classic of anti-war movies, "The Secret Game" is very special. The film does not face the war directly. It only explains the background of the "World War II" in the first five or six minutes. The rest of the space is like a country-style painting, as simple as a nuanced description of the game of two children, mixed with the families of two poor neighbors. The grudges, the soothing music, and the beautiful pictures make people...
