Compared with the very tolerant American life, all aspects of life in the UK are far more confined. Status levels, beliefs, ethics and morals govern all aspects of life.
I first saw the green mountains and green valleys in PPlive’s updated movie column. Unfortunately, the picture quality was too poor and the Chinese dubbing was also disappointing, so I downloaded the English version. Looking at it, this is not a fascinating movie with climaxes, but it is thought-provoking, and this is the most precious. The ups and downs of the sculpted big-name movie stars of various technologies may bring pleasure, but afterwards, maybe a shot, a picture, a short film soundtrack may not be kept in my mind, let alone an aftertaste.
Huw Morgan was packing his luggage and preparing to leave the valley town where he had lived for 50 years forever, his childhood memories naturally unfolded. Although the Morgan family has a hard life, they can be regarded as a happy family. The five older brothers of old Morgan and Huw work in the mines of the valley. Mother and sister Angharad are busy in the hall, preparing meals and bathing water for the men returning home every day. The new pastor, Mr. Gruffydd, preached Christianity for the residents of the town and helped people in need in the village from time to time, devoting himself to himself. Huw’s older brother joined the union and wanted to lead the town’s miners to strike to threaten the miners to give them their due rights. Old Morgan is a devout believer and a head of the family who is content with the status quo. He is grateful that his men have jobs as miners and opposes the communist movement of strikes. Therefore, he was embarrassed and insulted by other miners. During the snowy night's strike, Mrs. Morgan held Huw in his arms and warned everyone that if anyone said anything to her husband anymore, she would deal with him. On the way home, Mrs. Morgan and Huw unfortunately fell into the ice lake and were fortunately saved, but both of them suffered from frostbite and were unable to move. Encouraged by Gruffydd, Huw regained his ability to walk and began to go to school. Angharad and Gruffydd had been in love for a long time, but this was something that the priest dedicated to the Lord could not allow, and Angharad had no choice but to marry the son of the mine owner. . . . There are sorrows and joys in each of the story fragments. The family supports each other, and the grief is resolved by faith again and again. The movie ended. Angharad divorced her husband and returned to the town. Gruffydd was irritated by the false rumors in the town and wanted to leave the town. He refused to meet her for the last time. He should devote his whole life to God. The whistle of the mine disaster pierced the ears, and the air was filled with the breath of death. Old Morgan was trapped in the mine. Huw and Gruffydd went down to look for them. In Huw's arms, Old Morgan took his last breath. At the mouth of the mine, Gruffydd who came up from the mine met Angharad who was waiting anxiously outside the mine. Mrs. Morgan reluctantly but also firmly accepted the fact that the old Morgan died. Huw knew that his father’s spirit would never die, he lived with him. In the hearts of his family, in his heart, all the life education he gave to Huw will affect Huw for a lifetime.
The title How green was my vally, this Green will never show up in the black and white image. Regarding the mine’s story, the most impressive thing is that Van Gogh’s Belgian mining area preached to those who lived in the dark forever and could never wash the cinder from their bodies, so there was the famous potato eater, the people in the painting. The eye sockets are deep, the nose and lips are protruding, and the head is deformed. Fear is inborn. They fear the sun because they work at the bottom of the well during the day for bread. They fear death. Most people are killed by various diseases in their prime of life. Van Gogh believes that this group of people who have been struggling with death all their lives need more spiritual comfort. They need to get rid of the fear of death. They should learn to know that death is only a form of death of the body, and their souls. But it can live forever without being dominated by foods. After watching the movie, there is really a hint of greenery. They are spiritually rich, and will never be inferior to those nobles who want to have material wealth. People really need some comfort in their spiritual world. Faith comes out as the times require, and this supports people in their objective struggle with nature. In the ancient times, these beliefs supported them to survive the hunger and cold and defeat the beasts. In the civilized era, these beliefs have become a source of inspiration for various arts. Now, they are at least the support of most people in the face of difficulties and sorrow. Otherwise, knowing that birth, old age, sickness and death will end your life at any time after you are born, how helpless it is, this kind of fear even makes you feel that it is better not to never descend into the world.
I thought that the soundtrack of Qingshan Cuigu would be fresh and pleasant like the BBC Pride and Prejudice version with gentle flowers and flowers, but the opening cast soundtrack was a chorus of labor tunes. I can't help but think of Workingman Blues#2, and many moods are in that way.
