-sixth Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film Award
· Seventy-first Oscar nomination for best foreign film actress and
I started Inevitably fall into the cliché again, trying to prove the achievement of this film with the award. However, the award does not explain anything, you must read it to know what is good in the end. What I want you to know is that this is a rare good movie.
Said it is rare, one is that there are very few opportunities to see Brazilian films, and the other is that there are very few opportunities to see such thoughtful films. The Brazilian film "Central Station" was hailed as one of the "best movies in the world" by film critics all over the world. People's comments on this film are: The extraordinary thing about "Central Station" is that it is such a movie. Film: When it touches your heart, it is talking to your brain.
A plot that has been interpreted countless times, a modern story of a thousand miles to search for the father, and a story about searching and losing, all have a lot of meaning in "Central Station". An old woman who wrote letters on behalf of others at the station, and a 9-year-old child with a mother who had just died, because of letters linked together, because of misunderstanding, and parting because of love. Dora is not a good person in the traditional sense, or even a good person, because she always tears up other people's letters and does not send them out. She has also sent Joshua to underground shelters for benefits. But I think this is the director's brilliance. Compared with the perfect person in Chinese movies, Dora's shortcomings make people feel believable and can better reflect the real human nature. After a common journey, the relationship between the two people changed from hostility to trust, from estrangement to closeness, even though Joshua’s father could not be found, although in the end Dora left Joshua and let him live with his brothers. But I believe they have become good friends and will never forget each other in this life.
Interestingly, Joshua’s father is called Jesus, and his brothers are called Isaiah and Moses respectively. They are both famous figures in the Bible. Together with the grand religious ceremonies in the countryside in the film, people have to make the film and religion produce something Kind of connection. The director of the film, Walter Salles, is an outstanding documentary and feature film director in Brazil. He has won many awards at international film festivals. He is known for exploring the theme of "Exile and Finding Self-identity". The poster for this film reads like this: "The boy wants to find his father, the woman wants to find her home, and this country wants to find its home." I think this movie reflects the return and exploration of human nature.
I was shocked by a plot in the opening of the film. A young man stole a small object and was chased by someone and shot it on the spot. People seemed to have become accustomed to it. There is also the dilapidation and poverty of the Brazilian countryside, which is impressive. Brazil is a moderately rich country and one of the countries with the most disparity between the rich and the poor in the world. I hope that China will not follow in its footsteps.
