In the old film "Deer Hunter" starring Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Christopher Walken and other acting schools, there are two songs The very classic soundtrack is unforgettable. One is the movie theme song "God Bless America" that people chant in unison at the end, and the other is the classic guitar song "cavatina (cavatina" Tina)".
Thirty years ago (1978) at the 51st Uncle Ao Awards Ceremony, the long film "Deer Hunter" unceremoniously won 5 out of 9 nominations. Another winner was "Returning Home" with a similar theme. "The reason why these two films attracted much attention at the time is that, on the one hand, it was a matter of timing and mentality. At that time, it coincided with the Americans’ reflection on the eternal pain in their hearts-the Vietnam War that dragged on for nearly 20 years. Time, on the other hand, are the characteristics of these anti-war films. As far as "Deer Hunter" is concerned, both the angle of reflection and the depth of reflection are quite popular. The description and deep digging of the special mood and details are even more important. It makes the audience feel anxious in the depression of empathy.
The essence of the film is to downplay the big scene of the war, and focus on the alienation of people caused by the war, and meticulously portray the permanent trauma of the war to the characters' hearts and the deepening pains that are caused by the war. At the same time, in this film, which focuses on depicting wars and bruises in the depths of the heart, the soundtrack plays a very subtle supplementary role, making this inking and portraying more deeply rooted. If it is said that the "God Bless America" that people sang while sorrowful at the end of the film played a role of "dispersing silt" and "overtones", then it appeared before the battlefield in the soundtrack of deer hunting and recalling the past in their hometown. "Cavatina" plays the role of sorting out, influencing and even soothing the mood, as if with such a proper auditory method, the sad and beautiful melody enveloped the helpless and tragic situation, not only has the ability to watch movies, but also has an aftertaste. long.
"Cavatina" can be said to be one of the most popular guitar masterpieces today. It was originally the name of a musical form, that is, a lyrical short song or a musical sketch. In the 19th century, it was the title of the aria part of operas. The performance of a kind of instrumental music. In terms of guitar playing style, the most famous is undoubtedly the solo guitar "Cavatinra" by Polish composer Townsman (this piece is divided into four movements and is presented to the guitar master Segovia). The soundtrack of "Deer Hunter" was written by the British composer Stanley Myers, and the composer and performer was the famous John Williams.
Compared with the film, this soundtrack was born earlier. The score was published in 1971. In 1978, through the medium of "Deer Hunter", people fully understood its beauty and melancholy, and then it was used as another guitar song. "Romans of Love" is on the same level, but although this song "Cavatinra" seems to have a very simple structure, it is more difficult to perform in terms of "Romans of Love".
In fact, the two guitar songs are indeed quite similar. They are both artistic and dissemination-resistant music sketches. They are also made by the film. "Romans of Love" was originally a traditional Spanish folk song. It was adapted and played by Spanish guitar master Narciso Yepes. It was then used as the French film "Forbidden Game" (1952). The theme music is praised by people.
"Cavatinra" with excellent performance is often chosen as the usual repertoire of guitar recitals. Its simple form seems to be full of deep affection. With the accompaniment of soft scattered chords, the melody is soothing and pleasant. The harmony is enriched and transformed, with a slightly undulating arpeggio as the base, which brings out the euphemistic and lingering main melody. The mood of the whole music is pure but peaceful, soft and romantic, full of reverie, and intriguing. Thinking about it, in the end, the whole song ended in indescribable attachment and inexplicable helplessness.
In "Deer Hunter", the gentle and simple side of "Cavatinra" faintly flashes in the light and shadow, and the gentle and smooth melody and exquisite arrangement combine the beautiful individual life in the once leisurely time and The cruel environment of war created a strong contrast, and the viewing point seemed to touch a kind of distant sadness, which was both seductive and contemplative, and exuded the poignant beauty of touching the tear ducts.
