In the SLR era, film is still eternal
About Kodak Krom film: It was the first color film launched by Kodak, and it was discontinued in 2009, marking the end of an era. The relationship between father and son, apart from what is shown to us in comic books, there are many parent-child relationships that are so remote and unfamiliar.
In this film, my father likes photography and freedom, but he also likes to record the world with film, like this nostalgic recording of time, even if it has been flooded by digital cameras, he still insists on using film cameras, so he has This story happened at the end of his life.
In this film, my father likes photography and freedom, but he also likes to record the world with film, like this nostalgic recording of time, even if it has been flooded by digital cameras, he still insists on using film cameras, so he has This story happened at the end of his life.
This is a niche movie with less than 5,000 people and a total score of 7.7, but I want to give it five stars. Not only is this a story about photography, about film, about Kodak, but also a movie about music.
"Shot on 35 mm Kodak Film."
The whole film was shot on 35mm film, and the brief introduction to the plot of the film is very simple:
"A father and son went to Kansas. They wanted to develop photos before the closing of Kodak's last Kodak Krom film laboratory."
Like film, the story is light and simple, and it has a heavy weight just like the frozen things in the film.
The beginning of the film did not give a strong direction to his father's career, but only told the audience that his father had a successful career and liked music.
Even if his life is dying, he is willing to spend his last energy on drumming, and he has his own dedicated music room- a glass room. When the drum sounds and penetrates the glass, the emotions and power are richer and more sensual.
Influenced by his father, his son likes music and became a band's agent. Fortunately, the middle-aged man does not have a car, has not signed a well-known band, and even faces the danger of losing his job.
The bond that connects the father and son that have not met for decades is that the father’s life is about to come to an end. The important thing is that the Kodak film that has accompanied his father throughout his life, or that the father uses Kodak film to keep the truth of this world In his father’s dying year, Kodak announced that the last laboratory that can develop Kodachrome film (Kodachrome) will also be closed.
The father's last wish was to drive with his son to the far end to develop his earliest work- the four remaining rolls of film.
Even so, as a son, he was not even willing to have a meal with his father. In the end, blood was thicker than water, and they sat down for a difficult dinner together, but the words at the dinner table were not so kind, and the contention was in every sentence. , And then left unhappy.
I don't want to describe too much the process of the father and son compromised and embarked on the journey.
Because the most moving part of the whole film is the way they went to the film shop, and the way the father and son reconciled. This way, there are scenery of the American West, and the old-fashioned convertible at dusk -this It was a car that my father had driven for years but hadn't changed.
Although the image of the father portrayed from the beginning of the film is such a self, stubborn, and even selfish person, he likes film and objects with a sense of time. This is doomed, his life, and film, are mutual accomplishments. When the film faces death, his life will also come to an end.
Nurse Kern, she has the face of an angel and a heart that can tolerate and understand others.
Although the film tells the story of father and son, she is an important existence that promotes the relationship between father and son from rigid to soft . From the beginning , she persuaded her son Ryder to meet his father and embark on a journey. Without exception, she and the male protagonist Ryder extend a line of affection.
The dramatic thing is that Kern was unable to accompany his father to the end.
In the end, my father couldn't make it through.
The death of his father also symbolized the complete end of the Kodak film era.
After arriving in the laboratory, our son saw his father’s career aura as an audience, and we knew that his father was already a world-renowned photographer. In the laboratory here, on the last day of his life, he said :
"We are all afraid of time, the way it continues to move forward, and the way things disappear. This is why we become photographers. We are essentially conservationists, taking pictures to make time stand still and make moments eternal."
This is the father's interpretation of photography and also the interpretation of life. My father spent a whole life of photography, and even lost his family and the understanding and respect of his loved ones. At the end of his life, he finally reaped a complete life.
On the night he left others, all the photographers said goodbye, which was the greatest affirmation of his life's career. This cracked father-son relationship was also relieved by his son.
These four volumes of early film works were delivered to his son. When these films were projected on the screen, scenes flashed through his childhood and a happy family. In the beginning, his father's photographic subjects were the people he loved, his mother, and him.
If it happens that you also like to use film to record the world, if you happen to have time, then feel the old time preserved in this film. In every frame of the shot, there is the gentleness and power hidden in the film. .
Finally, the music that appears in this film, they are all the voices of the last century, with the same tenderness and power as this film.
