      No Paradise in the World: Commentary on the Movie "The Collector of Wind"

      There is no paradise in the world: Commenting on the movie "The Collector of Wind"

      Liao Kang


      is very accidental, and there will be such a situation: when I have no mental preparation, I see a good movie that is overjoyed, as if I have discovered a new world, and I am very excited! "The Shawshank Redemption" (The Shawshank Redemption) is a wonderful film I saw on the first day of the film, and I hadn't even heard of it beforehand. But that was in 1994. Recently, I...

      Nothing but good folk songs.

      How can a high-class person in the mainstream society go deep into the bottom society to collect those folk songs? Lily never lowered her high head. In any way, Lily's motives for collecting ballads are impure.

      The hostile questioning of the local musician, the rugged Tom Bresue, is to exploit the mountain people for her own selfishness, and it hits the spot! After that, he began to have a good impression of this stubborn woman, not so much because he was moved by her loyalty, but...

      [Film Review] Songcatcher (2000) 7.5/10

      On the fecund soil of American cinema, arty, unpretentious hidden gems are scattered in dribs and drabs, and SONGCATCHER is such a doozy, emanates an ethereal aura thanks to the gentle female touch from director/writer Maggie Greenwald and a crackerjack ensemble cast.

      Year 1907, musicologist Lily Penleric (McTeer) visits her younger sister Eleanor (Adams) in...

      nothing else

      The song in the light is very touching.
      The OST has only been downloaded sporadically, and there are a few songs that are not available, especially the song sung by the male protagonist at the funeral. The lyrics are also very artistic.

      Remembering that there was once a Wang Luobin in China...probably what they did was similar.

      But unfortunately, my disc is incomplete, and there is a paragraph at the end that I can't read. It's not even clear what the ending will be,...

      "Here comes the lilac."

      "Here comes the lilac."

      When Tom sang in the mountains, the beautiful and ancient Irish and Scottish folk songs have been circulating for hundreds of years.
      For generations the people of this land have sung their own songs from generation to generation. Facing the river, facing the mountains.

      Although there will also be speculation, rude obedience, and ignorance that interfere with holiness in their lives, but as long as they are near music, they have walked into music...

    Movie plot

    This film tells the story of Lily, a female music teacher who was denied promotion due to gender discrimination in 1907. She resigned to visit her sister in a mountain village, but she found that the mountain village where her sister lived was well preserved and preserved a lot of quaint Scottish and Irish folk music. Lily saw the promise of academic achievement and ignited the confidence to return to school. So she did everything...

    • Lily Penleric: Are you drunk?

      Tom Bledsoe: I'm not drunk, I'm... celebrating.

    • Tom Bledsoe: See, that's what you outlanders don't understand. Life is for enjoying, not just getting and working, and getting and working.
