tree shadows in life

A telling story.

There were no subtitles when I watched it, but I was still amazed. In the film, the summer wind blows through the constantly shaking lotus leaves, and the wind raises large reeds, winding paths in the bamboo forest, and shoots. The siblings frolicked away in the mud, the wind and grass moved and the leaves turned. In such harmony between nature and man, so serene.

The film unfolds from Apu's point of view, even though he wasn't born yet.

Apu's real debut is...

"Song of the Road"

A small movie that few people know about, and one that few people want to watch. Revisited for the second time in years. The whole film is a picture of gray and white negatives, such as listening to people tell a book, lacking three-dimensional vision, but it really penetrates people's hearts.

The background of the film is the life story of a family in a poor village in Bengal Province, India. The head of the family who thinks he is very knowledgeable, the gentle and virtuous wife,...

vague childhood epitome

In recent years, my spirit has been low, and I have become more and more able to taste the taste of this type of film.

I was fortunate to have spent a year in the countryside in my childhood: the children's madness, the sudden death of their friends, the disease brought about by the sudden change of the climate, the first time I felt the gloom of death, the neighbors helped each other and slandered each other. Incomprehensible feelings.

Apu left, just like my hometown back then,...

The earth, the earth.

Seriously dry the sheets, fetch water, and eat rice with bare feet. Listen, people take everything seriously. Wrap a cloth around me and I can live my life seriously.
The music is simply too beautiful.
Children, let's sing a song.
I know you have a lot of cats in your yard.
Hey, bring your brother, bring your divine cow, bring your dog, come with me.
Come, do your homework, I'll comb my hair, I can hear the insects chirping in the summer night.
Let's sing a song...

Sad but not sad, endless aftertaste

The two-hour movie describes life very plainly and plainly. The rhythm is slow and there is not much dialogue, but it is elegant. A lot of time is quiet, only movements and expressions. Sometimes the camera will stay on the face of the characters for a period of time without language, sometimes Staying on a certain natural scenery or animal is not the kind of fast switching, which gives people a space for feeling and thinking, and also makes people feel that this perspective is very special,...

One of Arp's trilogy: "Song of the Road". The realm that the image can reach is nothing more than seeing the shock of thunder in the calm. "There are good and bad days, it will always get...

9.5, a Rey-style melodrama that focuses on the neo-realism background of the bottom layer and the national poetry under Indian naturalism. Rey is worthy of being an assistant director for Renoir. Pond, lotus leaf, dragonfly, reed field, India The countryside is full of primitive earth and natural beauty under his lens, but behind the simple poetry is the closed, conservative, poor and hierarchical Indian countryside. Compared with the old tower, Ray's film may be more appropriately called a...

#SIFF2021# It was probably hard to imagine enjoying such an art film from India on the big screen. It turns out that Satyajit is indeed such a talented director. This debut feature has just the right story and plain and simple. The power of grief is also amazing in audiovisual aspects....

Chasing a train in a reed field, an empty scene that was shot in an hour in the rainy season but overflowed with complex and poetic scenes, or ethnic music that is closely linked to the character’s psychology or the plot. Mother's silent cry after father finally returned. The perfect debut in my eyes. This time, the trilogy is finally completed. It must be a movie worth rewatching on the big screen, because they will always force you to examine your material life, emotional life, and family...

"The third world is black and white. Capitalism is 3D. Ren Er bombarded me with fire and water." The third world has the soil of realism, but it is not the "big four" or "empty". has absolute meaning. Some plots: The protagonist's family is impoverished, but he gives beggars a favor. The impoverished family was suddenly hit by a disease, and the house was leaked. The head of the family with the dream of writing poetry was defeated by the lack of...
