After the demonstration was unsuccessful, the embarrassed old man sold his pocket watch to a person with him. The old man changed the subject on the grounds that he was "home", but after saying goodbye, the old man found that the man was walking in circles and hurried to the path. Go, eyes collided, and the man fled trivially. The actual temperature is cold. It's such a human world. Black and white films seem to be more able to express the temperature of the human world in movies. When the old man was sick, the kind-hearted maid comforted him and said: This is life. An innocent girl, her experience will not be more than that of the old man in the year of wind and candle, but while enjoying her youth, she also bears the hardships of life and the lack of favors. She is unmarried and pregnant, but she can’t Determine which father the child is, because both "Naples" and "Florence" refused. She said: "It should be the one from Naples." She seemed to love her in her heart, but no one loved her. The most moving thing in the film is the feelings between the old man and his puppy. It was a very ordinary dog, thin and well-behaved, it replaced all the warmth of this world and depended on the old man. The section where the old man and the dog begged in front of the square was distressing. He was desperate, wiped a handful of tears, and held it in the wind, but he didn't want to beg because of his affection. I even suspected that I had misread the name of the movie when he saw it. Could it be called "Wind Erosion Tears"? The puppy held the old man's top hat and stood there to help the owner. Others would think it was playing there. This bridge segment is the "freezing point" of this black and white film.
At the end of the film, the loyal puppy follows the old man who is about to die, but finally "saves" the desperate old man. The puppy's instinct to "live" suddenly makes the old man see the glimmer of future life again. Here is a large paragraph about the old man’s settling with the puppy after his “decided intention”. It must be said that it is another manifestation of the state of the world. The dog has no destination, so what can humans do? It may be that the whole film is too gloomy, and the director set a gratifying ending, but in fact, there is another thread hidden before, that is, the maid alone. After the only talkable old man left, the landlord What will happen to her fate when she knows the situation?
It is such a black-and-white film, because of its affection and heart, it can also hit the touch that may have sunk in people's hearts. Nowadays, Chinese movies seem to like to play with technology and eyeballs, and they only care about box office performance outside of movies. But technology will eventually become obsolete, and it can’t replace emotions. It won’t be true. If you take a bed sheet and put on it, you won’t become a bohemian. If you make a cut on your face, you won’t become a gray wolf. You can also put eggshells on your eyes. Can't become Ultraman. The box office can even be faked. A good movie should not only be salivating on banknotes, but should also be ambitious about what the movie itself wants to express.
