Ceylon’s expression in this movie is rather messy, and it is estimated that he is also struggling.
The picture is so much like my hometown, it's almost exactly the same! Whether it is mountains, fields, woods, houses, paths, local customs, and even people's living conditions! It seems to have seen a movie shot in my hometown.
Each director is of course different, but if they are classified, I will group Ceylon and Li Cangdong together. They are absolutely the same kind. They are very good at talking about the cruel reality of the destruction of human romance, feelings and ideals, as well as the little people in between. struggle. Although Ceylon is brighter, at least this movie is.
Finally the father and son reconciled. In fact, it is difficult to say that this film is about father and son, young people in a small town, or life disillusionment. It can also be said that the son has reconciled with the world. His father was also a former idealist, he abandoned himself in middle age and was addicted to gambling. The son didn't know where to go after graduating from university. He was proud and helpless, and he loved and hated his father. They did what hurt each other the most. But in the end the son discovered that his father had been silently paying attention to his literary achievements. The son’s only book was published by selling his father’s favorite dog to raise money. He only gave it to his mother, but the father was the only one who had read it. Read it several times. The newspaper articles at the time of publication were kept precious by my father. But the son did not know. The father is ashamed to express his concern for his son. He stolen his own life, even stealing his son's money regardless of dignity, and his son often ridiculed him. His failure made him escape from the world, or he escaped from the world and chose to give up his life. His ideal was to build a hut and dig a well to guard his dog, and eventually became the shepherd's choice to return to nature.
If the well was a fable of his father's life, the villagers said that there was no water, and his father did not give up working hard for many years, and proved nothing. When the son saw his father’s life, Ceylon gave two shots to end: Xuetian’s son committed suicide and hanged himself in the well. After another turn, the father fed the lamb to find his son. He walked to the well. The son was digging the well. Refusing to admit fate. The movie ends with the sound of his son digging a well. The scene where the father and son listened to the sheep calling in the flying snow was so moving.
The soundtrack is Bach's Passacaglia in C Minor, BWV 582.
