I can't remember whether it was elementary school or middle school, but I just remember it was a sweltering summer vacation. At that time, the TV at home had not been replaced by the large color TV of today. Still 21 inches in black and white. The TV is not very clear, there are always small snow spots on the screen, and there is a whirring noise. I forgot what show it was. I just remember that it was a hot and irritable afternoon, and I couldn't sleep alone. Turning on the TV to pass the time, I suddenly saw the introduction of a movie - "The Smell of Green Papaya". Although the program only briefly introduced Mei, and a few pictures of papaya. But it left a lasting memory for me. It wasn't on TV at the time. Television was our only medium back then. So, at that time, I had no chance to see such a film. Time flies by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, I also graduated from college and started working. Although time has passed, the image of the taste of green papaya always reverberates in my head. I always think of Mei's shy expression when she appeared. The rich milk of papaya drips on the green leaves, Mei's intoxicated expression when she opens the green papaya, a scoop full of crystal clear seeds┅ This summer is very hot. Perhaps because of this, I am often in a state of extreme irritability. I can't work with peace of mind, I can't calm down and read a book, I can't taste a movie beautifully. Frightened and anxious all day long ┅ With fond memories of my childhood, I started the film journey of Green Papaya. The story begins at dawn, and the ten-year-old Mei Anxiang is busy calmly. Seeing Mei Duancai go upstairs, I was a little anxious and worried. Maybe it's because I've watched too many TV series about the little daughter-in-law of the Chinese compound. Always looking at it, my heart is full of thorns. I thought there was going to be another bloody and violent beating. As the story progressed, my worries slowly dissipated. She is a very kind and strong woman. A daughter about the same age as Mei died of illness the day before the young master returned from his third run away. When the young milk looked at Mei, she felt like her own daughter and cherished her very much. In May's eyes, the world is a beautiful place. Mei's beauty is reflected in her every action, from the expression on her face when she washes her hands, her simple smile, and her eyes to see the world. Always feel carefree. Seeing these not only reminds me of my childhood. I think everyone will have a memory in their hearts when they see Mei, or the naughty and playful self when they were young. Or the moment of meeting someone you admire, shyness, anticipation, longing┅ After growing up, Mei became a slim girl, but she did not touch the brilliance of her body because of her age. She is still as kind as a child, as diligent and docile, curious and innocent. Still obsessed with watching everything in this world. After the young nurse lost her power by doing housework alone, the young nurse, who cherished Mei, decided to give Mei to the eldest young master's good friend as a maid. It was this turning point that began Mei's true shy love. Shao Nian’s husband is a musician in the Ming Dynasty. He often leaves without saying goodbye to his family’s belongings, but Shao Nian doesn’t complain about him. No matter how long he went out to come back, the young milk was happy to shed tears. Not a word of reproach. He once stayed with his wife and children because of Tao's death. But on a night of martial law, he still lied and walked away with all the money in his family. Seeing the young lady hiding in the corner and crying, people couldn't help but feel distressed. Her forbearance, her persistent waiting, and her tolerance ┅ It is difficult for today's women to achieve this. I don't know, in the face of love, if such misfortune occurs in our lives. We should learn to be more tolerant of love and wait persistently with the attitude of less milk. Or ┅ just, I think I must not be able to tolerate and wait like a little milk. I don't know when, waiting, which should have been described as beautiful, became tormented. In addition to the main character Mei, there is also a love story interspersed in the play. After his grandmother's husband died, he could never be forgotten. The old man surnamed Tang asked her to marry him, hoping that his grandmother would marry him. But grandma refused, and he followed her every day, even though she moved several times. But after Tao died seven years ago (Tao is her granddaughter), she refused to go downstairs and recited scriptures in front of the portrait every day. He looked at the door several times, just to look at her in satisfaction. She asked Mei to take her grandma down to the patio for a walk. She could even hear a little news about her grandma from Mei's mouth and she would be happy for a while. This kind of selflessness, this kind of guarding, maybe in our eyes now, it's not realistic, it's just a beautiful fantasy of the director's wishful thinking. But this wonderful fantasy of director Chen Yingying has fascinated tens of thousands of people all over the world. What is truly fascinating about this story is that this beautiful fantasy lives in each of us. The whole film gives people a very quiet, peaceful and beautiful feeling. The film looks very real. The plum with its face facing the sky, the green leaves, the rich papaya juice, the chirping cicada, the jumping frog, and the rain that moistens the leaves. ┅ In my opinion, the film is similar to a silent film, without a single extra line. A lot of music is interspersed during the period. More pictures and music are used to express the undulating mood of the characters. The movie makes people feel calm, and the close-ups of many animals and plants in the movie make people feel that the world is very beautiful. The love expressed in the movie. In stark contrast to the fast food love in today's society. Today’s society is too realistic and too frustrating, and people are busy with everything. If it weren’t for any biologist who wanted to do research, they would carefully observe those moving animals and plants. Usually we must watch it once. The pressure and fast pace of life make us forget to enjoy the beauty of nature. I forgot to stop and admire the scenery around me. We just kept running forward. We are used to fast pace and high quality. Even one day love is assimilated by our fast-paced high quality. We are always busy, rushing forward in a hurry. Maybe, when we run to the end one day, we realize that the most beautiful thing is actually the scenery along the way, but we have already missed it. Recommended for disturbed young people to watch, I believe. Watching this movie will give you a new understanding of the world. To be honest, after watching this film, I am a little afraid to write a review. I'm afraid my poor writing tarnishes the beauty of the film. Today, I mustered a lot of courage and wrote this personal impression with sincerity and fear.
