Metaphors are like riddles, full of unique meanings. In rhetoric and poetics, metaphor is the core element. Today, metaphors have become part of the film's narrative. To appreciate such a movie, one must guess the content behind the metaphor. Spanish director Carlos Saura is one of the directors who like to use "metaphors" most, especially in the movie "Raising Crows", Saura allows us to see the alienation of people in society, and through a psychologically distorted girl To symbolize a kind of mental state of people in that environment. When watching this movie, you must be wholehearted, otherwise you will not be able to enter the bizarre dream world created by Saura. Instead of using conventional narrative methods, he breaks linear narratives to interweave memories with dreams and illusions, forming a structure that is difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and dreams. "Raising Crows" itself is a prediction, "The crows you raise will come to peck your eyes when they grow up." Saura builds this film on the basis of fables and uses it as the core to form a huge Spanish political metaphor network. Father: Franco regime. Mother: a victim of the regime. Girl: A person who grew up in the shadow of Franco's regime. From the perspective of his father, his attitude towards his wife towards girls represents the attitude of the Franco regime towards the people. From the mother's point of view, she relied on the girl's father but wanted to get rid of him. In this contradiction, she finally went to death in despair. From a girl's point of view, the background she grew up in was the stranger period of the Spanish regime. Although she was far away from the political center, she was still affected by the political situation at the time. People always become captives of the past unconsciously, forgetting that they need to break free. As everyone grows up, what we see with our eyes and what we hear with our ears will become a part of life and our perspective of understanding the world. At the same time, it will also weaken our innocence and happiness, and weaken our soul to perceive the world. The girl in the film is just such a girl. Of course, Saura will not let this girl come out of the metaphor, because she is the core of the metaphor. Saura imposes all the consequences of the dictatorship on the girl, making the girl's revenge and distortion a mystery, and the answer is "dictatorship." A pure movie contains a fierce core, which makes it impossible for people to enjoy it calmly. So, what is a pure film? I personally think that the so-called pure film is the director’s personal work, not greedy, and blindly following the crowd. It is the director’s personal and personal expression. Outstanding directors always try to create new times Generation, which means that they need to cross history, cross the past themselves. From this perspective, "Raising the Crow" is not only a political metaphor, but also a farewell to the past by director Saola. Many of his excellent films are based on the Franco dictatorship. With the decline of Franco's regime, Saura also changed her creative direction. It can be seen that "Raising Crows" is a serious farewell. Regarding history, we cannot judge whether it is good or bad, but what is certain is that our today must be closely related to our past.
