The combination of old people, villages, neighborhoods, children, embarrassment, death, and other words will not make people feel like an attractive work. With the help of previous movie-watching experience, we will think of boring, monotonous, Unremarkable. In fact, this is really just a simple depiction of the daily life of a poor Indian-Bengali family. If your expectation is to see a different and exciting story, sorry not, if you want to see you come and go, it is extremely complicated. I’m sorry, but I’m sorry, this is a film about beauty, not pleasure.
Although it is boring, in fact, my personal movie watching process has always been focused. This is because I am actually curious about the art films of the third world. Under the long-term mixed doubles of having not watched Chinese movies for a long time, I found that my understanding of movies has become narrow. Politics has affected the information access channels of ordinary people like me. Fortunately, I can see Rey's "Song of the Earth".
In my opinion, "Song of the Earth" is actually a story depicting human nature, but compared with others, it has the slow flow of life like a small bridge and flowing water in "Non-stop", but it lacks the "walking" The description of the evil of human nature in Stop. It can be said that everyone in Song of the Earth is working hard for good. In fact, this fits the reality of a poor village. It can also be seen that Director Rey, like Director Zhao Ting, deeply believes that "the beginning of humanity, sex Original good" and expressed in their films. And the evils of human nature are often forced out of poverty. You can never blame a person who is too poor to eat to watch people begging on the roadside indifferently. Therefore, the wife’s dislike of the boarder’s grandmother, the neighbour’s suspiciousness, and the husband’s irresponsibility are all very detailed. I often think, as if the poor people all over the world are in common, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or age, I think it is. of.
If you just record the poor life in Rey's memory, it would be more appropriate to use novels as an art form. Rey uses the function of scenes very precisely. In the same lens, we can see that different stories are happening in the foreground, the middle scene and even the back scene. This makes the space of this small yard have the characteristics of documentary aesthetics. . In addition, there is also an impressive use of removing simultaneous sound. In multiple clips, when emotions are about to be piled up to the highest point and ready to usher in a changed story point, it is either sad, nervous, or depressed, or It is the urgent melody that will sound. I remember it very deeply. Unlike the soundtrack of a bad symphony orchestra, Rey uses a single (local) national instrument without exception. As the soundtrack rang and the sound disappeared, we seemed to be watching a pantomime silent film, focusing all our attention on the visual expressions and actions. Mr. Zhu Guangqian mentioned this kind of distance from reality in "Talking about the Beauty". He said, “There is a distance between beauty and actual life. Look beyond the distance.” So, after my husband learned of the death of my daughter, at the moment when a flute sounded like a howling or some kind of string music sounded, my tears fell like rain, 2021 Shed tears for the first time.
I tried to understand the reason why I had great empathy for the family in the film from the perspective of "movie criticism." Factors of strong empathy. The final discovery was countless documentary details. I saw my sister playing with the cat, the grandma watering the green plants, the younger brother naughty laying on the bed, the siblings looking through the candy, and the savior-like look when I saw my dad... I fell into these and In the details of life irrelevant to the development of the plot, I slowly discovered that in a certain virtual world, I have become a certain character in the play.
In addition, I like the beat of the film. In the narrative structure designed by the director, we see a family that is increasingly embarrassed and impoverished. Each time there is a temporary pause/small recovery, such as Little Apu’s At birth, the husband received the wages in arrears, etc., which gave hope and even greater frustration. No wonder I was so worried.
Finally, let me share a little detail. Director Rey was previously an advertising artist. By chance, he met French director Renoir. Renoir showed Rey "The Bicycle Thief". Rey almost decided to switch to the film industry without thinking about it. , Without any hesitation.
"The Bike Stealer" is really the enlightenment of many film masters. Really cow.
