Some people come, some people go

They are all masters who show their country to the world, compared to Akira Kurosawa, rather than Ozu. Moved by Ozu's "Tokyo Story", I watched Rey again and saw tears.
It is difficult to find genre characters in realistic movies. There is no negative side, some people may look hateful, but they will be cute again after a while. Everyone is a poor person, this is the reality.
It's hard to imagine that this is the director's debut, skilful and smooth. The long and short shots, soundtrack, sound effects, scene scheduling, and actors' performances (mainly amateur actors) are perfectly coordinated. Only at the very beginning of the film, Little Daraja went home to hide from his mother in the woods. There seemed to be a problem with the camera position and the direction seemed a bit confusing. It never happened afterwards.
It is not complete to tell the story from Apu's perspective. It was the child's perspective, but most of it was from Dalaja's perspective, but in the end she died.
My favorite scene is the scene where the reed swings watching the train. The scene is the brightest in the whole film. The sky is open. There are no trees, forests, broken houses and other people in sight... The two sisters stayed under the reeds and heard the train. The sound ran out.
Finally, when he moved, Little Apu found the beads hidden by his sister on the top of the cabinet. The beads were thrown into the pond, and the duckweed hole that was smashed out was slowly filled with duckweed.
The theme may also belong to the ambiguous category, with no specific values ​​to praise or criticize. The old countryside is both closed and lively, and people are conflicted and humane. Regarding the mother drove away grandma, until grandma died. They have been so noisy all the time. Auntie walked a few times and came back a few times... Only this time, she died.
The plot design is a bit old today, but the film is really old. When I saw Daraja praying outside, I guessed it. Although I guessed it, I couldn't help crying until the movie progressed.
The long shot of my father when he came home was really beautiful. He walked from the path, looked at the yard, looked at the cows, then looked at the yard, and finally walked in.
Music: The handwriting of India's national treasure music master Ravi Shankar, which matches perfectly with the movie.
Slow pace? I did not think.
The synopsis is a bit too ridiculous ~ unreliable.
There is so much worth learning. China is not just like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jia Zhangke~~ I
like the songs sung by my aunt. After her death, the singing sounded again:
some people are here, some people are gone.
After leaving, I took me to the other side of the world.
Day passes, night comes...

    9. The Indian films in the 1950s were much stronger than they are today, especially the soundtrack, the natural sitar.

    The reeds sway with the wind, the train sprints away, the torrential rain is pouring down, and the wind whizzes by; the optimism of the father, the patience of the mother, the spiders walking in broken bowls, and the snakes walking away from the abandoned house are the disaster of heaven and the suffering of man—— It's the pain of having to leave home. Rey looked at all of this with a stern look, a realist civilian epic.
