Perhaps, every object has its own destiny

During the Chinese New Year, I looked through the previous DVDs at home and found this "Red Violin". It should have been bought by me more than two years ago. During that time, I especially liked to watch and buy CDs, but there were always some films that slipped through the net and stayed silently on the top shelf of my bookcase. "Red Violin" is one of them. one.

Centuries ago, a top Italian violin maker made a violin for his unborn child, but before it was completed, a dystocia accident killed both mother and child. After being hit by this, the master still devoted himself to completing the violin and sent it to an orphanage sponsored by a priest. The red violin also embarks on a mysterious and even eerie journey. This journey spans centuries and countries, bringing different destinies to its different owners.

The genius child in the orphanage, who is as delicate and fragile as porcelain, may be the son of the master reincarnated, and his short stay in this world is just to express his love for the red violin. The British composer's unexpected acquisition of the red violin inspired him to bloom with endless splendid talents, but he was also controlled by his own talents, burning out his passion and even his life. Afterwards, the red violin came to China and was risked to be preserved by a music teacher during the Cultural Revolution. After the music teacher's death, his collection of musical instruments was commissioned by the Chinese government to be auctioned at an art auction in New York, the red violin was rediscovered, and figures related to it in history rushed to...

The film's narrative style is also very interesting. Interestingly, the wandering of the red violin is undoubtedly the main line of the film, and this experience unfolds slowly according to its time relationship. At the very beginning of the film, the master's wife finds the maid for divination and draws out five Rota cards. The maid's explanation of each card is inserted into the beginning of a red violin's experience; at the end of each red violin's experience, the auction is repeated once. In the scene of the upcoming auction of the red violin, each repetition introduces the appearance of a related character.

In addition to the narrative style, the characters and pictures in the film are also very good, especially the many violin performances in it. Even playing it on my laptop is intoxicating. It is definitely a movie worth watching quietly.
