The first part of the classic "Arp Trilogy" in Indian film history and even the world film history is also the debut work of director Satyajit Rey. Blockbuster.
This film is adapted from a Bengali growth novel of the same name (literally translated as "Song of the Road", but I don't know why the Chinese translated into "Song of the Earth"). Rey had edited it before working in a publishing house, and it was true. , Humane, and poetic. In the end, under the circumstances of lack of funds, incomplete crew, and non-professional actors, Rey paid out of his own pocket, did his own work, used new actors, and spent three years intermittently to complete the film. The actor who played the aunt died before the film was released (it is also lamenting that she died in the wild with nothing to support in the film).
Before filming, Rey used the short opportunity of working in London to watch a large number of Italian neorealism films, which was deeply inspired. Therefore, the film is also permeated with the kindness and gloom of the poor in "The Bike Stealer" (sister steals fruits and stuffs her aunt but also steals necklaces for herself), dignity and dignity (mother who would rather starve to death than ask for help will also be there. Picking up fruits on the ground when no one sees them), optimism and bitterness (Dad always longs for the future but the reality is that even the scarf that my aunt’s aunt can’t afford), kindness and helplessness (they raise flowers and cats but don’t have enough food) It also drives away the elderly at home when eating), and the fate after taking a risk (Dad finally made money after leaving home a few months later and went home but learned the news of his daughter's death). Although they are miserable (most of the time they only eat rice, their family members die of poverty, their houses collapse, they are rejected by the rich), but they also have their own happiness and spiritual pursuits (although they mainly come from the younger brothers and sisters, they look at the diorama , Chasing trains, playing with companions, and my father also likes to write), and never despair. At the end of the film, Apu and his parents left the ancestral home of several generations and went to the big city to find a way out, which also opened up hope. Foresee the future, please listen to the lower part of the decomposition.
