The first "Pather Panchali" (Pather Panchali) of the poetic realism "Arp Trilogy", adapted from a novel by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, has made the world film world remember the name Rey, and Indian movies have not It's just a synonym for gorgeous singing and dancing and cheap moral drama. However, what is even more amazing is that Rey’s debut, mature technique and style, sophistication in narrative and superb art, is not inferior to the famous film masters in the world of film.

The paintings are full of poetry, and the scenery is delicately portrayed, watching the train through the reeds, frolicking in the rain, snakes squirming in the stone steps, kittens frolicking in the garden, and dragonflies lightly touching the water. . .

On the soundtrack, Ravi Shankar's sitar and bamboo flute are full of the mysterious and exotic atmosphere unique to India. They are integrated into the plot and the soundtrack of the picture, with a vengeance and mysterious mood.

In the plot, in the scene where the father returned, the mother remained silent until the father took out the saree that he bought for his daughter. The dam in the mother's heart was instantly destroyed and she couldn't cry. An emotional climax is just right, there are not too many lines that are disease-free, and there is no hypocritical acting. Everything is so real and natural, reasonable and exciting.

    The reflection of the water in the pool when Du Jia and Apu ran with the sugar seller, the silhouette on the wall when the aunt told the story, and Apu's face dressed as a king in the mirror. Excellent photography and editing tell the village from an unexpected perspective. The story of decline. When watching the train, the shards of awning flowers that are taller than people are like dreams, and they have become dreams that can never be realized again. Apu threw the beads stolen by his dead sister into the water, and grew up since then...and again, this time in India. There are also pull films.
