Although it has been a while since I watched this movie, I still feel happy when I think of the picture of the movie. It is very rare.
What I remember is a lot of fragmented scenes in the film. Occasionally whizzing by the train, carrying all the thoughts of the passengers on its back, it drives into the distance. The sunset and sunset seen by the little boy, the scenery information outside the train window changes, this world is still this world, if there are thousands of phantasmagoric twists and turns. What does the field have to do with the little boy's world?
The train took this talented young man from the vast grasslands across the continent before the light of the sky, passing through the mountains and rivers, enjoying the wind blowing in the valley, the sun is just hot, enough for sunbathing, passing the sea, seeing the herds of cattle and sheep , Gobi terrain, when the sunset is over, the sunset reddens the sky. Large swathes of orange-red color sprinkled in the sky, mixed with the twilight light and finally sunk into darkness.
The brightly lit city appeared in the camera, the roadside snack bar of the freight train station, and in the gap when the train stopped, the little boy also handed in a year-end friend. The picture finally returns to the destination of the story, and the scene eventually flattens out.
Jean-Pierre Genet's use of color is so ordinary people like me can clearly identify the difference. This movie leaves aside the storyline and the handling of details. As far as the scene and framing are concerned, I am very addicted to watch it here. It looks more like a road movie to me. Grasslands, mountains and rivers, Gobi Desert... Passing through the lights of thousands of homes in a strange city, when the train stopped temporarily, it looked at the stranger on the opposite side and drifted past. The mood of a little boy alone is the same as that of an adult. Fear and joy when he is alone are double-edged swords for most people, freedom and loneliness, hope and silence.
Regarding Jean-Pierre Genet 's handling of colors and scenes, those who have seen his "Angels and Beauty" must be more sympathetic.
The film tells the story of a ten-year-old talented boy who was awarded the Baird Prize of the World Science Award and was invited to speak in Washington. At the end of the film, the little boy successfully arrived in Washington, and also solved the sequelae caused by the family's changes. His parents spent more time returning to the family. This is an ordinary and loving story.
The sense of picture is very strong, the scene processing is very good, and there is a sense of substitution in a road movie. The stories of ordinary people are embellished with some small details so that the stories will not be too bland. The rating on IMDB is 7.6 and I give it an 8.
