Happy journey of fools

Train of Life

Yesterday I watched Train De Vie , this movie has been sitting in my drawer for at least a year, this time I finally felt the right mood, so I took it out and watched it with my family. There is a brief introduction on the DVD box, and it is called the companion piece of "A Happy Legend". Maybe because of this, the family has high expectations for it. As a result, after the film is over, they are disappointed, thinking that the movie is not good, at least not as good as "Legend". nice. I think this is largely the responsibility of the video disc distributor. It is always dangerous to rely on a well-known video to promote it. When two films are pulled together, the audience will naturally expect similar things. The feeling of doing it aroused the suspicion of taking advantage of other people's reputation for nothing. The most direct connection between the two films is that "On the Way" once recruited Roberto Benigni to perform, but he later resigned, and directed and performed the so-called coincidentally similar "Legend". Yes, the two films have the same background (World War II) first, and also use the persecuted Jews as the theme, but if the

is laughing with tears, must be a lot more laughter, at least in This is the case before the last scene, and

focuses on family relationships, and 's protagonist group is the entire Jewish village.

I also like

, but if I look at it independently, is still good. In fact, from Annie's diary, to Shutra's list, to the piano battle songs, there are many movies with similar themes. After all, this history is too painful, and of course it is quite dramatic, but it is generally gloomy and tragic. "On the way" can be regarded as a film A different kind of Holocaust, look at this historical event from an unusual perspective. It's not just its lighthearted, witty tone. Ordinary people can't help but look at history from the perspective of "fruit" and take the inseparable relationship between the Nazi Party, the Jews and the concentration camps for granted. However, the communication of 60 or 70 years ago is far less developed than it is now, especially in rural areas, even if it is a major social event, many people are not just hearsay, so they can only half-believe what they hear. Furthermore, you must know that most of the Jews at that time did not have the concept of concentration camps in their minds at all, because there was no such thing before, and even if they had heard of it, they probably could not imagine what it was, thinking that the worst situation was just exile, How many people can think of the almost inevitable death that awaits them? For example, the Jews in the film felt danger from various signs, but did not know the specific shape of the danger. Many films would ignore this point. Even if the director knew it in his heart, he seldom chose to show it. This is shown to the audience. Because of ignorance, although the film is considered a joy in suffering, the suffering is nothing compared to ordinary Jews. If they fully understand the brutal methods of the Nazis, they may not be able to be so relaxed and happy on the road. Judging from their behavior, they didn't realize that their lives were on the line, but those children seemed to be more foresight. Speaking of which, seeing those foolish Jews are obviously running for their lives, and they are still leisurely (except when they are stopped by the Germans), with so many problems, I can't help but feel angry and anxious, especially the troubled Communist Party, I really want to. Palm beat him out of the sky! Fortunately, the people who led them were resourceful, and these fools were able to avoid catastrophe after catastrophe, and in turn placed the German generals with them.

I'm not familiar with Jewish culture, but it seems that they are quite obedient to rabbis and sages. Even if they don't understand why they want to leave their hometown, the whole village obeys the decision. When they plan to leave, they can feel the strength of unity. These villagers were able to turn the pile of things that were only slightly better than scrap iron into a train, get official documents, find a train driver, and a teacher who trained the "German" to be so similar. Although the villagers have first-rate earning ability, their political knowledge is very poor, and they make a lot of jokes. Many people think that the Nazis they play are real Nazis, so they are hostile to them, and they have to confront them at a critical moment (I muttered in my heart). : But didn't they have a meeting together? It's so stupid), one of them thought he was a communist and a Nazi at the same time, and the rabbi was crazy, and his prayers to God were funny. Although the subject matter of this film is heavy, there are a lot of laughs, and it is not far-fetched. It just makes people admire the vitality of the Jewish people and the ability to survive in a desperate situation. The tone is relaxed, but it often makes the audience sweat. As for the ending, the director did not explain the reason, but there are many, many possibilities. After all, in that era, being a Jew in Europe was a near-death situation. It was a miracle that they were okay. . I personally don't like it, I think it's a bit hypocritical. But maybe it's just because my taste is on the bland side.
