I have always lacked the ability of music. Whether it is appreciation or talent, I am very pentatonic. I am very immune to a lot of music. I can hardly understand the ups and downs of rhythm. Most of the time I pay attention to the lyrics and think about the content of the lyrics. It can often reflect the state of mind, such as Zhang Yusheng's "Freedom Song", "I don't want to be restrained as long as I am free/what is politics/how to do democracy/see you not convinced/51:49"; or Eason Chan's "Love Transfer", "Short-term is always romantic/long-term always dissatisfied/burns perfect youth and exchanges a wife/transfers the warmth of one person/transfers to another's chest/reflections on the last mistakes and dreams" etc. of. Especially for classical music, there is basically no appreciating ability, and even the emotions and sorrows are not understood. As a result, many musical films, such as Irish "Once Upon a Time", I can't watch much. And a colleague of mine seems to be very educated. Not only can he read it carefully, but he can also listen to it. He finds it very beautiful. But this movie gave me a different feeling, great story, great music. I think I'm still suitable for this kind of music with lyrics content, maybe just like writing poems in the past, I like to have something to say instead of groaning without illness.
Seeing such a happy group of people, I always want to give them a kind of concept, and in many cases I even feel envy of them. Go fishing during the day, the water and the sky meet, come back in the evening, singing and dancing, as if life is so beautiful, this is life. And people like us who study, work and live in the city seem to have lost a lot, losing the'slowly' that should have been in the busyness. My grandparents are still farming, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. In addition to busy farming, other times they are mostly chattering parents, relatively leisurely. My parents have already worked outside, that is, go to work and go to work. My mother was not happy at work and the salary was not high. I strongly persuaded her to go back to farm. She said that she would not go back to farm even if she was sweeping the road in the city. I think this expression is very strong. I was surprised and expressed the idea that I wanted to go back to farming. I felt that the original ecology of farming,'recovering myself','the peasant's simplicity' and so on, but she said that it was because you had never planted the land. , You don’t know the kind of hard work. I think so too. How many people really understand rural life when they are all envious of the countryside?
When I was growing up, it was the time when the Chinese small-scale peasant economy collapsed. Therefore, at the age when I remember clearly, there were few collective activities of the whole village. With the collapse of the small-scale peasant economy, it may be the kind of Chinese peculiarities. The sense of belonging is also disintegrating. I've been away from home for so long, no matter where I go, I feel like a passer-by. Therefore, in the movie, the people in Cornwall maintain their own characteristics, feel very beautiful, and always think how good it is to live in such a place, fishing with friends, drinking with friends, and getting old with friends. . I read a book "Agent Garbo" before, and there is a sentence in it, "Lugo was the kind of place where people died in the bed they'd been born in,". The kind of harmony in the movie is also my idea, and maybe there are many people on the go. It feels like "young and young leave home and the boss is back". But if we think deeply, we can actually see the naiveness of this idea. We only see other people's poems and the distance, but we don't see their ambivalence. The kind of life we yearn for may be precisely what the local young people want to get rid of. This movie is more like our hometown far away. We miss and wish, but what really makes us live there is not a different scene.
My grandfather and I have expressed many times that we hope that he will help protect the land in my hometown and want to wait for me to go back to farm when I get older. Grandpa said, don't farm, he has grown enough in this life. Didn't I say that farming is good at first? He shook his head straight, maybe his more than fifty years of facing the loess and back to the sky had already made him hate this land and a little bit reluctant to leave it. Mom and Dad have been farming for more than ten years, and they have no intention of engaging in agricultural production at all. Only someone like me who hasn't suffered would think so. I think if many people are also fishing like in the movie, it would be nice to play it three or five times. If you fish for a lifetime, that would be enough. I have a relative who is a doctor. He told my grandmother that even if his son begs for food, don't let him go to the doctor. He is a rural doctor, he said, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, you have to go there with a call. He also didn't want to let his children engage in such a profession. Of course, I think what he said was also annoying. He really didn't have a job. Maybe he would still acquiesce in his child's medical practice. Why is this not true for me? Although I have no children yet, I think how can I not let my children continue to do scientific research. It always seems to feel that children will be better if they don't engage in work that has suffered for a lifetime.
The movie may arouse my homesickness, so the story infects me. The music is also very beautiful. I almost went to work in Edinburgh before, planning to find a house by the sea. There is no spring blossoms, but some face the sea. Although the seaside scene of the movie is far from my hometown, the original ecology and harmony are exactly the same as my hometown. While watching a movie, why not imagine that you are experiencing a life that is different from your own reality but closer to your ideals?
