The black-and-white film "Green Mountain and Cuigu" never let people see the green mountains and the green valleys from the beginning to the end. The story flows out from the mouth of the elderly little brother, and there is the thrill of falling into the ice cellar in defense of his father. There are elder brothers who died in the mine disaster due to the sorrow of the lonely birth of the elder sister-in-law, some brothers were forced to live far away from home, some were bullied by teachers and classmates when they went to school, and some elder sisters married aristocrats and were helpless and guarded by servants chewing their tongues. The young pastor who had been in his homeland for many years had no choice but to leave his hometown to protect his elder sister’s reputation. In the end, his father was also embarrassed by the surplus of labor and the brothers’ income was cut. Some brothers and the workers organized a union strike to oppose the conflict of the boss. It’s hard to have a mother. He lost his life in the middle of the night, and the little brother finally left his homeland at night with his luggage... This pile of pieces is the little brother’s childhood, the family’s affection from the hometown. It seems to be full of the unsatisfactory life of life, and it is also accompanied by the growth of a generation. After the passage of time, everything After fading, what remains in the heart must be the green hills and green valleys, intimate words. This story seems to have twists and turns, but it is also plain. Whose life is not like this? The relatives are gone, the youth is passing, the local accent and the feelings are lingering in my heart. I love such stories.
Morgan's family is really prosperous, with ample labor force. The family works in the mine. His father is a class in charge, and his brothers are the best miners. During the day, my father took the brothers to work together, and at night, he took them home to wash away the stolen goods. When eating, the rules are very strict. You must pray first, and then the children can start after the father starts. The father was stern and enlightened in some respects. The sons wanted pocket money. After only 1 minute of hesitation, the father opened the piggy bank "money is for spending". This family is both well-organized and harmonious. Knowing that the wages of the brothers have been deducted, they went on strike, and there was a sharp conflict with his father. At this time, my mother stood up very bravely. She came to the gathering place of the strikers at night, arguing impassionedly for the man, and at the same time waved her fist "If anyone is unfavorable to his man Morgan, never let it go." This shocked the strikers and won respect for themselves and men. Unfortunately, she and her little brother fell into the ice cellar on the way home, and it was the strikers who saved their lives in time. A few months later, the mother got up from the hospital bed and the sons went home. The strike was over and all "misunderstandings" were resolved. This is a bit "unexplainable". Obviously, the director attaches great importance to family and homeland, not class and political contradictions.
From the beginning to the end, the film unfolds from the perspective of the younger brother. When he was young, the younger brother was a little clever, especially when his sister-in-law came into the house for the first time, he stared at him and started to like it in his heart. Later, the older brother died and the sister-in-law gave birth to a child, and felt particularly lonely. Responsibilities should be assumed. I especially admire it. This spirit is even better than resisting bullying in school. At a young age, thanks to my mother's teaching.
The film's handling of religious issues is obviously deeper than class issues. This part is reflected in the love between the priest and his sister. Pastors are enthusiastic religious practitioners who have always guarded the hometown and the people in their hometown. Because of their beliefs, they can’t promise the people they love. My sister married a nobleman and didn't want to see each other again. Their restraint on love has not gained the understanding and respect of those around them. Before the sister got married, the two people fell in love with each other. As a boring person waiting after dinner, their story has become a topic of suspicion. The pastor’s faith is shaken. Why do you need to protect the hypocritical, weak and boring people in the world? It is better to pursue a better life for yourself. As soon as the pastor's determination was made, something went wrong in the mine. This time the disaster fell on his father, and the younger brother left his homeland where he grew up without hesitation.
