"If we only use our own education to educate our offspring, will the younger generation get better? I'm not sure."
- Q: Kent Jones A: Cristian Mungiu - A: I already know what I want to write, I just can not find the right story there are a few things I'm interested in, but was most interested in depicting this age. I want to make a movie like this: When you look back, you understand that most of the important things in life have passed, but if you look forward, you still have a long life. You Knowing that the child is about to leave your side soon, so you don’t know what to do next, because you find that life is not what you imagined before, and it’s very different. So for me, it’s about A movie about getting old, a movie about family, a movie about "life is different from imagination". When there are some things in life that are not satisfactory, we trust our children. We hope, some things in our experience, Some of the things we made mistakes ourselves might help them. In fact, this is just a huge hallucination, and children will still make their own mistakes. But, it’s interesting that we repeat to our children what we learned from the parents The same things that sounded, those words never played any role in us, but for various reasons, we need to repeat these words to our children. Q: Regarding the protagonist going up and down the bus to the backyard to look for the suspect Scene, what do you think? A: It’s been too long, I’ve forgotten...but I can tell you how this scene is designed. When you create such a movie, you need to make sure that there is always a certain amount of reality in it, so there is also a certain amount of reality in it. Reasonable explanation. If you keep up with the plot of the movie, you will find that he noticed that the person outside the bus was one of the four suspects identified at the police station just now, so he got off the bus and followed the man. I like it very much. One reason for this scene is to understand that a person has changed from being a predator to prey: at first he looked for the suspect, and finally he became very scared. When we talk about guilt, things are not so easy. For me, this work is a film about people who feel guilty. The overall feeling about this film is: the protagonist is described in a kind of thought, and this is difficult to do in the film. If it is a literary work It’s easy to describe how a person feels and what he’s thinking in his head. But in a movie, you even have to create a scene to describe the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings, in the hope that at the end, the audience can Understand the feelings of a person who is guilty of lying. Q: You mentioned that you have rewritten the last 30 pages of the script. Is the original ending different from the current one? A: No, the key to the ending is to reflect what kind of position the daughter takes when facing the father’s request of her. It doesn’t matter whether she graduates or not, whether she goes to the UK or not, it’s important to understand her position will be Ethical or immoral, it’s not for me to decide. I try not only to give my answers, but also to understand the people around me, because the whole movie is not only my view of what happened, but also Including a lot of disappointment. Some of them belong to me, most of the disappointments come from the society where I live, and more, I think most of these disappointments also belong to you. I think now is an era in which people are very easy to feel disappointed ( ?). The reason they don’t want to accept the facts is because it’s hard to look at yourself: you find that you are not a very good person, you have made a lot of incorrect decisions, that’s why I took this For the reason of this movie, I think it's much easier to watch other people's stories on the big screen and then think about it for yourself. Q: At the end, when Elisa said "I did it my way", is this a way for you to point out the new Romanian society? How do you feel about Romanian society? A: For me, this is not just a movie about Romania: a movie must be set in a location, and I still live there. I think it’s very important for filmmakers that it is important to people and The relationship between people is very understanding, not just about a scene. I think this is a movie about human nature. In fact, if you look at the end carefully, she did “in her own way”, but she found Another ``safe'' way of doing things. If this other way is ``safe,'' then it is difficult for me to appreciate it, because my own life does not have an answer. When I was writing the script, I What comes to mind is: can we be optimistic about the future, and on this basis, if we only use our own education to educate our offspring, will the younger generation become better? I'm not sure. This The film also talks about the importance of ``going out'': as long as we are still the deciding factor in terms of age, we must ensure that we can create a framework for the younger generation to make changes, otherwise it is just a very naive optimism. And this is very common in politics.
