A car accident in an ambush among the chess pieces blocked the way for a generation to return home, but reorganized a lifeline for the prisoners to return to themselves. The author Ilia Toiano is worthy of being an excellent travel writer. In the journey he designed, the cycle of life and death, the spiritual realm and the philosophy of life, can actually be like a butterfly with wings, flying in the natural flowers and grass. There is no tragic color of the world falling apart, there is no deliberately exaggerated sorrow, only the political cold light looming in the scabbard. In addition, there is a gentle halo, feeling the scenery along the way, life is just like a journey that can only be taken forward.
As the most powerful and potential director of Bulgaria, a small country in Eastern Europe, Komandarev's directing approach is indeed fresh and special. He admires the intentions of the structure and is also impressed by the degree of relaxation in the narrative rhythm. Fleeing and returning home, the parallel two-line line is so dynamic with rhythm, can carry the past and the future, cold and magnificent, this kind of care for the turbulent and gentle expression of the reader's inner feelings, carefully like a child catching a butterfly, wanting to be swift and violent , And afraid of being alarmed, but accidentally constituted a beautiful picture.
Alexander, who survived a car accident, has been connected by backgammon in his life with his grandfather Baidan. The moment he came into the world was also the glorious moment when Grandpa was named the "New Chess King" of the small town. On his birthday, grandpa gave little Alexander a new chessboard symbolizing "continuity", and this happiness is really like the time sealed in the photo, which has been away from this family for three generations. Until the end, Alexander regained his memory after he grew up and repaired the broken and stranded family relationship. And this whole process of memory and narration, because a game of chess pieces changed the overall style of the film, the story is even more intriguing.
Without the cutest grandfather of Baidan, would the film end in depression and loneliness? I can't imagine how an adult man who has amnesia and has become an orphan can find out the answer to the mystery of "who am I"? In the ward of the rehabilitation center, sitting on a hospital bed, holding a remote control, looking at the TV screen, like a primitive man walking out of the mountains, come again? If this does not drive a normal person mad, then it is strange!
Memory betrays you, as if you were abandoned by the world, perhaps you have also thought that one day all the unbearable traces of history will be washed away. However, thinking is easy after all, and once it comes true, it is the purgatory before self-destruction. Grandpa Baidan is a wise man. He knows that it means complete destruction. He will not allow fate to trample on his life again. Losing his daughter and son-in-law is his deepest guilt. No matter how sorry he is, he can't recover it, and win back the whole thing for his grandson. Life has obviously become his final mission. He is betting on his beliefs, betting that he will meet God's just and loving kindness at the corner.
The car accident was beautifully photographed, with three facial masks like three locks with missing keys. Then, there was a dizziness. When the car rolled over, it looked like a sushi roll, leaving death and new life at the corner. Life likes to be evil. Ten years ago, due to political persecution, the family smuggled a happy family abroad and experienced a painful escape life. After all, they could not escape the curse of the world, and they were destroyed at the starting point of happiness. Alexander's parents have been living apart for 15 years. They met again two months ago. The family agreed to return to their hometown. As a result, the special gift of life to everyone came early. If God’s eyes are watching all this at this time, then in Grandpa Baidan’s heart, they must look like those familiar eyes, and he will ask, "God! Why do you look at my child with Lenin’s caring eyes?
Men ?" For that particular period of history, all this may be Baidan's fault. He should not seek freedom with the rights of a "free man", nor should he use the spirit of a master to question the Soviet Big Brother's care for Bulgaria. Brotherhood, let alone "fight for reputation" should not be used as a life creed, but is this wrong? If it is wrong, it is wrong that a person will grow a moving brain, a talking mouth, and a crying eye during his lifetime.
In Italy, it is rare for a family of three to relax. When enjoying the joy of sightseeing in the square, the soothing and passionate background music flows out. The little happiness is also a great comfort to me watching the movie. Then, little Alexander was lost, and his parents looked for him everywhere, and the three of them disappeared from each other's sight. Is that Alexander's dream or a real memory fragment? The gathered fear weighed on my head, and I couldn't imagine the tragedy of losing my family. This is the first time I have experienced this feeling. As a catcher of the soul, this film deserves its name.
The scenes shot in the Italian asylum really resemble a full-color history album. They met "Chicago" and he was waiting for an invitation letter from his brother in the United States. He also got help from Doya, a kind-hearted man full of justice but not sharp. As for refugees from Arab, Argentina, Hungary and other countries, it reminds me of a flood. At that time, I was very young, and everyone was pulled by trucks to a safe place, like a school. There were sleeping people in the classroom, and the hallway was full of people chatting. In that scene, there were only figures and mouths left. type. But according to my conscience, apart from eating pasta every day mentioned in the film, the images in my memory are always much warmer than the people in the film.
Grandpa and grandson rode together in a coordinated car through the blue sky and green space. When resting, lying in the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness, the peach garden-like scene was so sad that it had not been for a long time. Reinforced concrete and heavy traffic sealed my tear ducts, and my eyes were shining, but there were no tears to drop. Even if I went to the outskirts, I couldn't find the pure stream in my heart. The wind in the fields is cool, and the way back is cheerful. For both grandparents and grandchildren, the feeling of chasing the wind home must be the best.
At the end, Grandpa Baidan took the train home alone, leaving Alexander to return by bike. After reading it, my first feeling is, laugh! Laugh at the cunning of this "old man", and laugh at his brilliant wisdom, just as intelligent as Einstein. He knows that his dearest grandson has retrieved his memory. The old man trusts his grandson’s memory and his heart that he never left. He knows that Alexander can find his destination like an arrow with a bow, and he also knows that this is what he really let go. , The best time for children to fly freely.
The final pair of mandarin ducks is very naughty and has a positive effect. Alexander has found true love. This is also reasonable. Now that he has found the specific "I", plus the other half of the "I" in the "abstract" sense, the icing on the cake!
