      Innocent dream

      "Road Roller and Violin" is Tarkovsky's relatively early film. The plot is not complicated, the technique is quite skillful, and the style is romantic and warm.
      Seven-year-old Sasha nestled with his mother and lived in a family with good economic conditions. He studied the violin for two years, but didn't get along well with the neighbors around him. Until he met a road construction worker by chance, his world began to undergo subtle changes.
      At this moment, Tarkovsky is a...

      Dirty face · Years of friendship · Father and son · ?

      Tarkovsky's debut novel.
      The film is very short (40min) and the aftermath is very long (immeasurable).
      Zhong Lifeng said, "This is a simple and noble movie." He asked me to
      say, "This is a pure and rare movie."

      ① With a dirty face
      Not a little dirty (well more than a little dirty).
      He walked down the corridor with his violin, and was mocked by other children as a "musician", who grabbed his violin and passed it around. At this time, he, Serika, the road roller...

      Tarkovsky on "Road Roller and Violin"

      1) "The work must be real and textured in order to produce its poetry. There is almost no dialogue in this film. What we think is important is the environment. The interrelationship between the environment and the real character can create the kind I said Hypothesis. We tend to think of hypothesis as something incomprehensible, but what I call hypothesis is real. I am always ready to prove my idea is correct. I don’t think there are other possibilities. ."

      This is a joy that is immersed in the air, transparent

      A very beautiful, very innocent film. If a pure and lovely little boy can become friends with a young man who is also pure and kind, then the cooperation of the violin and the road roller can also play wonderful music. I really like the clip of the little boy playing music for the young men in the film. It is a place with echoes, bright sunlight, transparent air, and crisp music. All these combine into a beautiful and happy picture. Joy is silent, all in the music, in the air, in the hope...

      The head hangs sullenly, and there are no strong hands with long calluses to patronize it to nourish it, only the dwarf's three-inch height hides by its Wutu. Can't run, can't fly. Childhood was cut to the ground by beats, wrinkled, and choked with water. Only the bustling and proliferating mirrors could make him...
