The story takes place in the northeastern part of Brazil, a very sad and spiritual land—Sertão, translated into Chinese as a wasteland. There is no hope for the development of economy without water and drought, but it breeds a considerable literary atmosphere.
Two families, the feud that lasted for several generations, did not explain it, maybe because everyone has forgotten the source of hatred, the killing of you and me, slowly there are unwritten regulations, after the murderer commits the murder, the arm will be Tie a black cloth strip, and the life is broken into two parts from this moment. The life and the rest of the life, when the blood coat dries and turns yellow, is another round of killing games.
The director of Abril Despedaçado is Walter Salles of the famous Central Station. Behind the absurd plot is full of metaphors to life.
The blood-stained white shirt originated from violence and triggered the violent
clara spinning frantically on the ropes. It is the passionate
cow rolling sugarcane juice that tonho has never experienced in his life. Just fall, no one can pull
the young people who seem to die for the so-called family honor program in the two families, there seems to be a rubber band between the past and the reality, the more you want to escape, the more Will be pulled back fiercely, one end is the long suppressed dissatisfaction, the other end is the rock-solid past, the blind elders in the family, looking up at the black-and-white portraits of the "Family Honor Defenders" displayed like an exhibition hall, muttering silently in their mouths , There are more and more people on the wall, but fewer and fewer people at home.
This life-and-death struggle will not end until the outcome is clear.
The rule of the movie is that love always solves everything, clara’s love, hope for tonho tomorrow, brother’s love, take away his black cloth strip, die for him, cut off the bondage of the past, and tonho only needs Exercising the privileges of his protagonist, after a series of painful baptisms, completely broke with the past, greeted oneself facing the sea, and the spring blossoms.
The theme of the movie itself, revenge, is a metaphor for a huge life, but the director did not face the cruel reality more directly. The blue sea and clara's te espero (I will wait for you) in the ending may be too good. If tonho’s father is in him I think it’s more reasonable to shoot from the back when you want to escape everything. After all, the maverick, realistic rebels, in the continuous charge, after all, are few who get a happy ending.
