Paradise-like dreams and memories (comment on the details of "My Father and Mother") When the memories gradually begin, the mountains and forests in the warm autumn, the villages in the cold winter snow, the beautiful farm girls, the old-fashioned weaving. The red weaving thread on the cloth machine, the partial close-up of the bowl repairing in the backlight, the tear-jerking music playing in the ears of the mother while waiting for the father, make the story simple and pure love, presented in a picturesque manner, and it is precisely because of the narrative. The simplicity of the film, the plot is diluted, and the details are highlighted. This film relies on the deepening of details and delicate emotions as the support point. The details are the emotions, and the magnification of the details depicts an unforgettable love, which plays the artistic role of the finishing touch. In the film, Zhao Di takes out a blue and white porcelain bowl to deliver meals to "father", and looks at the blue and white flowers placed at the front of the long table from a distance. The bowl reveals the secret love of Zhao Di. The blue and white bowl is given the important task of maintaining the relationship between the two. The father has to leave the village temporarily because he is beaten as a rightist. The details of the action of the mother running on the hill with the dumplings in her arms are undoubtedly the classics of the film. This run represents the mother's courageous pursuit of free love, and this run also reflects the mother's determination and determination. The emotional expression of shifting, this run is intertwined with the sobbing music, making the audience feel the emotional appeal of the people in the play in the chasing situation. The sound of blue and white porcelain bowls breaking, the music stopped, and the characters wept softly. The detail of the blue and white porcelain bowl seems to be the carrier of the two people's emotions. The detail enlarges the emotional expression and makes it more profound and vivid. The unpretentious love between the father and mother in the movie has no eternal life, no mountain alliance, no love words, and some just smile. It is a spiritual pursuit that is not mixed with any material. Perhaps blue and white porcelain is the most sincere emotional expression in that era. Details are in character. In the memory of the details of the bowl, make full use of the close-up shot of the hand, zoom in on the details of the object, and show the repairing process bit by bit, without a single word of language, with a delicate "Cen bowl". "Sound, unknowingly substituting the audience into the situation, the careful action details when repairing the bowl, lest we miss a little detail, using the small to see the big, alluding to the mother's delicate and unpretentious character. The details are used for metaphor and expression of character, precisely what the director wants to show the simple love that belongs to that era. My mother said that she loves listening to my father read the text. This detail is not only a medium of love, but also an interpretation of the theme that this detail further deepens. From the perspective of thematic interpretation, the "knowledge" shown in the film is greater than "courtship". As the only teacher in the village, the village is looking forward to the only teacher in the village. His desire for knowledge is "seeking knowledge", and his father's persistence in work is reflected in the story of "I" that my father never left. In the words of Guo's mother, the details describe the character of the characters and reflect the theme of the film. They all start with the details. It has to be said that the director's fine-tuning of details is the supporting point of the film. ”, the red cloth strip is the symbol of the school after its establishment, and it also carries the dual tasks of mother’s love for the father and the knowledge of praying for blessings. Through the picture of weaving red, this detail peels off the meaning of love, and deeply excavates the concept of “seeking knowledge”. "This deep theme. In terms of love narrative, the director uses the double clues of "weaving red" and "red hairpin" to let the audience understand the process of the protagonist's love. The red cloth is the only bright color in the classroom in the mother's memory, and the hairpin becomes the mother's firmness. Unswervingly waiting, they carry the same thoughts of their mother for their father at different times. When the floodgate of memories is closed, the mother returns to the classroom many years later and is shrouded in the bleak reality. But the red beside her mother is still dancing. Unlimited vitality, this also makes the sound of reading sound from my mother's ears again. "My Father and Mother" really deepens the theme of respecting teachers and teaching from the theme of love, which is a new expression angle for the "Candlelight Project". A paradise-like memory of love, the expression of love is straightforward and simple, and director Zhang Yimou is good at expressing profound themes with the tension of details. In "Chrysanthemum Dou", the raging fire in the dyeing workshop, the characters' unbridled laughter is the sublimation of the details to the theme, and the detailed performance of the character's symbolic words "The Big Red Lantern", Song Lian, implies that the feudal forces are suppressing the characters. The strength of the feudal forces makes people shudder, and the consciousness of resistance cannot be born, and the soul is lost in the feudal forces. "My Father and Mother" "I" read the first lesson in the textbook for the children in the village, continuing the responsibility of the father In a broad sense, it is the continuation of the "Candlelight Project". The director has always created a profound theme with a perspective that transcends reality and detailed emotional expression.
