      My Father and Mother: When You Leave, The World is Black

      People always add warm colors to good memories, and my father and mother were such a story.

      I always think in private that Zhang Yimou must be a director who still believes in love. Among my father and mother, whether it was Zhaodi who waited patiently and apprehensively in the dusk to have an encounter, standing tall and thin in the wind and snow just waiting to meet again. These vague worries, patient joys, all these signs, can only be explained by love.

      The first time I saw...

      pure love

      Son's narrative tone.

      Zhao Di is too powerful, she can do anything, an unmarried little girl, cooking and carrying water, weaving and cutting paper... On the other hand, I am really ashamed.

      Erhu soundtrack, the originator of sadness.

      Fortunately, the card was found! ! "You can't find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." Otherwise, I'd be pissed off, and the screenwriter was too ruthless.

      It turned out that there was also a...

      Fabulous movie in my heart

      Wang has always recommended me to watch this film, saying that Zhang Ziyi's run has become a classic among classics, but I haven't watched it until today. The movie is very short, an hour and a half, and the last half hour or so, I couldn't help crying because of a lot. It was unforgettable for a long time that "since then, my father never left my mother a step". OMG! From this moment on, I declare that I am a little crying bag. From the very first moment when the two of them came into...

      Life is short enough to love only one person

      After watching it, I was most impressed by the 18-year-old Zhang Ziyi. Every frame may seem contrived, but it disturbs my heart. The girl's love, shyness, boldness, stubbornness, and gentleness are vividly portrayed. , I saw that love is hard to say the most beautiful, it is indeed a beautiful side. In fact, the whole plot is very simple. From the death of the father, the son comes home, the mother insists on carrying the father back to recall the love of the parents, and then...

      Homecoming

      Slowly the bagpipes brought out the whole melody, and then the melodious violin joined in. Zhang Ziyi's beauty amazes me, although now this kind of beauty brings too much business and sharp flavor. At that time, she had no language, and there were many scenes of her running after his figure on many undulating mountain roads.

      Music speaks of her love.

      She walked a long mountain road for him, followed him and watched him go. His eyes wandered, but he never left his direction....

      Laomouzi's early works are still very delicate, pure emotion and mild political criticism (this can be regarded as the main theme). This kind of gentle, becomes lively and affectionate; in addition, it is worth admiring that the photography and music of the film are just right, creating a simple and pure but not lacking in magnificent...

      It's a bit of a cliché to use the word simple and moving to evaluate this film, so I'm going to say that the ending is too strong, the use of color that is counter-intuitive, and it used to be bright and now gray. Every time I saw the double image of the mother, I started to wipe my tears. Although it was easy to understand the previous story, it was difficult to share the same feeling. The ending must be in the top ten of Zhang Yimou's best...

      What moves us the most is often the most unpretentious and primitive emotion. In that era when there was no Internet WiFi, I liked someone, just cooked carefully for him, climbed over a few mountains to listen to his lectures, because a card issued for several days in a row went out early and returned late, and waited in the heavy snow just because of one sentence "At the latest on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month." After the fever, that drop of tears flowed into the hearts of every...

      The people are so beautiful, the scenery is so beautiful, and the story is so beautiful, it made me cry. I am afraid that it is very difficult for people to achieve the feeling that the attention is only on the lover. Such a pure love story, told in a leisurely manner under the soundtrack of Sambo, encounter, follow, talk with low eyebrows, wait, come back. Everything is fine. Laomouzi grasps this kind of story really easily. 2020-11-18 Rewatch. "From that day on, my father never left my...
