Watching the film "Colors of Heaven", I almost watched it with my breath, it was so simple and pure.
At the beginning of the film, there is a 2-point black scene. Under the darkness, the element of sound is particularly prominent. It turned out that a group of blind children messed up the tapes, and the teacher helped them redistribute the tapes. Then these blind children and their deformed eyes appear in the camera. I think the director's intention at this moment is to let us feel the world in the eyes of the blind. What they see is pitch black, and they can only feel the world through sound and the touch of their hands. And just such a group of children are working hard and actively living. In the school for the blind, they play the piano and sing, dictate the text carefully, and respect the teacher. They can feel that these children love life and the world they live in. The protagonist Mohammed is one of them. of one.
When watching the film, I always pay attention to Muhammad's hands unconsciously. For the blind, the hands are different from ordinary existence. They are the way they perceive the world and are sacred. From stroking the hairpin I gave to my grandmother; stroking the nesting bird while waiting for my father during summer vacation; stroking my father's hand when my father came to pick it up; trying to catch the wind in the car on the way home; encountering scenery along the way: stream, water, The touch of rocks and flowers and the babble of alphanumerics that we don't understand; the touch of my grandmother's hand and the feeling that it is the whitest and softest in the world; the touch of my sister's face to see what she looks like now; the hand at the carpenter's house Feeling the life of wood... I have always remembered the curvature of his fingers when he stretched out his hand, and I can even imagine him rubbing these things with his fingertips. , and touch with their hands the souls in their hearts that are not visible to the naked eye. It's like the carpenter touching Muhammad's hand and saying, "These hands tell me that he knows a lot." In the words of the film, they can see the world, but they can't see the world.
But in the whole film, what impressed me the most was the part where Muhammad sobbed - "The sculptor said, are you crying, men shouldn't cry. The young, trembling voice replied, You know no one loves me, They all left me because I was blind. If I could see, I could go to school like everyone else, but now I have to go to school for the blind, like on the other side of the world. The teacher says God is more loving Blind people, because they can't see, but I said if it is true, God will not make them blind, so we can't see God. The teacher said "God is invisible, He is everywhere, you can feel Him, you use Get to know him at your fingertips. "Now I keep reaching out until one day I can feel God's presence and tell him everything, even the secrets of my heart. And then there's the sculptor's silent, as if struck, expression." It was not until then that I realized that this child was so fragile and inferior, how he wished he was a sound child, he had his own inner secret, it might be dark and dirty, but he was in I work very hard to live happily, and try not to cause trouble to the people around me. With such a sensitive mind, he probably felt his father's thoughts a long time ago, but he didn't say anything and suffered these pains silently, and I began to feel sorry for this child.
There is another important character in the film, he is the father of the child. In my eyes, he is a contradictory individual who loves Muhammad but at the same time hates the child. Because of him, the pure and beautiful Muhammad lost his life, but I couldn't hate him. I don't think Muhammad didn't blame his father when he finally died. His father was an ordinary laborer. He lost his father at a young age, and his wife at middle age. He was alone with his children and an elderly mother. He lived in poverty. His only wish was to marry a wife and bring a little hope to life. It seems that It is also understandable. But Muhammad became a burden to him at this time. He wanted to not want Muhammad. After being rejected by the teacher at school, he had no choice but to take Muhammad home. I think everyone has good and evil thoughts, so he had a terrible one. I think that strange voice in the film, like a monster in the mountains, is the evil thought in Dad's heart. The first time he appeared was when he was shaving his beard to meet his fiancée, when the thought popped into his mind that he cut his face in panic; later he deliberately took Muhammad to where he was working, hoping that something would happen, when The accident was about to happen. When Muhammad was sent back, he gave him another breath; when he was divorced, he should have hated Muhammad, so he went to the carpenter's house, lingered at the door and even struggled to go back and decided to "pick up" Muhammad; When Muhammad fell into the water, he was also entangled and fought fiercely with his own thoughts. In the end, he still loved the child more and wanted to save him, but it was too late... Although he was a little angry at his father's actions and thoughts But it is still understandable.
At the end of the film, when the father was holding Muhammad's body and crying, there was light in Muhammad's hand, he moved his fingers, the light bloomed in his hand, I think it was at this moment that he felt God with his fingertips, he saw Arrived at the light from heaven, which is the color of heaven and his new birth.
