A child was stunned by the news. He dreamed that the red star of the Kremlin fell. He felt heartache and woke up. He touched his cheek, and burst into tears. This child is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he still has such a perceptual cognition that socialist communism is still in the red scarf, which is the tip of the red flag. The red flag is stained by the blood of the martyrs.
Of course, the child's vision is not precise enough, but it also points to some real ultimate. Antoine in "Four Hundreds" is a factor of instability in this world, Ivan in "Ivan's Childhood" uses his childhood as a battlefield, and Alexander in "Landscape in the Mist" is determined to find a father who can point the way. , In the scorching world, they always seem to be swallowed by themselves. And Malik in "Dad on a Business Trip" and Oscar in "The Tin Drum" also seem to be a pair of difficult brothers.
For example, refuse to grow up. Oscar did what he said, only using drums to replace the language that was strangled in the war; Malik was not so magical, he only resorted to sleepwalking to escape the surroundings that seemed to be ignorant of the mirror in his heart. Oscar has more than one woman; Malik also has an admiration for him. Not only does he help Martha, who just met, tidy up her clothes like a little man, he is also intoxicated with her homework with Martha, hoping that she will never finish her homework. In his dreams. Oscar finally compromised and finally stepped into the adult world; while Malik continued to sleepwalk, but he suddenly looked back, and dimples appeared on his round face, as if to say "Take you fun".
After the film chanted in gypsy style, the curtain on socialist Yugoslavia began. A few years after the end of World War II, the iron-like Yugoslav leader Tito blatantly broke with the Soviet Union and insisted on taking the road of socialism with Yugoslav characteristics. The children don't want to understand this. They only care about whether they can get a football or see the heroic figure of a female pilot. While watching the slide of the paratroopers landing, Malik's brother played the accordion. Waves of the Danube. The beautiful old waltz rippling over, paved the mood of the young people's disappearance.
It is said that the water of the Danube changes eight colors in a year: six days of brown, fifty-five days of turbid yellow, thirty-eight days of turbid green, forty-nine days of bright green, forty-seven days of grass green, and twenty-four days. The sky is iron cyan, one hundred and nine days of gem green, thirty-seven days of dark green...... This European mother river, when she flows through Serbia and Croatia, will she hesitate-isn’t this land once called Yugoslavia? ?
Speaking of those socialist countries in Eastern Europe back then, what impression is left of that large piece of land where "the people with us" existed? Hungary is roast beef with potatoes; Romania is the overlord of gymnastics; as for Yugoslavia, it is Walter who defends Sarajevo.
In the years of war against German fascism, Walter was the gleaming backbone. When Yugoslavia put on the cloak of socialism and was unwilling to be the little brothers of the Soviet Union, Walter, or Walter, took on an iron face.
The Yugoslav movie "Dad Going on a Business Trip" is actually an evasive story. In 1948, Yugoslavia broke with the Soviet Union. The father of an ordinary family was accused by the brother-in-law of a political cartoon in a magazine and was sent to the mine to labor reform. While waiting for the father to return, the mother only coaxed and comforted the two sons by saying, "Dad is on a business trip." In 1952, his father was finally rehabilitated, and the family was happy. It's just the father's romantic nature that still makes the children feel unbearable. Therefore, some people say that "Dad Going on a Business Trip" is the "Cultural Revolution Memory" of Yugoslavia.
This film is based on the long poem of Yugoslav poet Xue Wei. Although it is not filled with the strong "Gypsy passion and madness" like other works by the director Kusturica, he prefers to depict the cruelty of the world and the turbulence of life. Never give up optimism and sensibility, it will lead to a state of crying and laughing, and emotional out of control", but it is also a feeling of tears, hate goodbye to the bird and startle.
His father had faith and kept his duty in a totalitarian atmosphere, but he couldn't help but betrayed his wife emotionally, and even betrayed his lover who had been in love for many years. It seems that he used a kind of absurdity of life and death to resist the cautious external environment. During his father’s exile, due to the nervousness of the youngest son, Malik, he recited the wrong speech from the Young Pioneers, and the father who wrote the manuscript could not be blamed. Facing a certain chairman who symbolizes power, his father was defending that "Tito is the party, and the party is Tito", but he was suddenly told by the chairman, "You can go back (Sarajevo)". As a result, all the secrets have turned into nothingness. The former bondage turned into a feather, gently comforting the man.
The mother worked hard to pull a family. She knew her husband's care and thoughts, and she was in peace with her resentment. She knew how to keep a delicate balance. A son and a warm family are the softest corners of a man's heart. Therefore, even if his father is busy with two wings, he will return to his mother and his beloved hometown Sarajevo.
Yugoslavia is a multi-ethnic country. This comedy, known as "anti-Titoism", shows Kusturica's usual humor, ridicule, and tenderness. Kusturica is also considered an angry youth. He strongly opposes Serbia's ultra-nationalist movement politically. He once requested an open duel with the leader of the movement, but of course he was rejected.
From this point of view, removing those hard-core elements, the father's stallion-like passionate passion in the film can be interpreted in another way. For example, the image of Zeus in ancient Greek mythology. Zeus made peace with countless goddesses, fairies, queens, and princesses around the Mediterranean, so there were more and more small cities-states speaking Greek, and the ancient Greeks also liked this kind of lasting energy. From the perspective of mythology, it coincides with the anthropomorphic reappearance of multi-ethnic integration after the establishment of the primitive state. The father in "Dad Going on Business" is like Zeus. He is uncontrollably affectionate with women of all colors, as if to stitch together more than 20 ethnic groups in Yugoslavia to maintain a complete dignity. Therefore, in the face of such a proud father, the children have no choice but to accept.
As a result, since the polar bears split into many Stan, Yugoslavia has also undergone earth-shaking changes-Serbia and Montenegro form the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Kusturica, who was born in Sarajevo, is good at gypsy-style indulgence and cruising, which is probably also a tactful remedy for the lack of his homeland. Just like the naive child Malik in the film. He loves his mother, Yugoslavia, and will always share joys and sorrows. Blood is thicker than water. He couldn't help but love his father, who was the giver of his soul, the most important fetter on his growth path. So he smiled and sleepwalked, dreaming back to Sarajevo. Although, Sarajevo no longer has that Walter.
