Serious spoilers. But it doesn't matter, my statement is definitely not as good as the director's statement. They love to sing and dance. The music that dances occasionally makes me happy, and the characters move their bodies to the melody. Vibrant music and fashionable dances embody the love in the film. This is a love story about an imaginative romantic love.
Costa is a good friend of animals, his donkey will wake him up, the peregrine falcon in the sky often detects the enemy's situation for him, the snake fed with milk saves his life at a critical moment, the inexplicable butterfly attracts the enemy army, The bees in the tree hole made the chasing soldiers scream, and the flock of sheep protected them at the end. Later, the bears he saw every day grab oranges from his lips.
Correspondingly, people are always accompanied by cruelty. It started with war, then the odd clock wounded, then a sudden shot hit Costa in the ear, the bride sang his ear with the sewing needle, then the war stopped, people sang in hope of peace, crazy and Appears violent, just a minute or two of the conversation in the tavern, I don't know how many cups are broken (they are talking normally). There were guns, internal fighting, and bleeding. The second female lead had a fever, her hand cut by Zhong was swollen into a steamed bun, and the bride was also cut by Zhong and her hand was swollen into a steamed bun. Later, the sudden massacre burned everyone in the small village, and the burning skin of the dead was often featured at that time. Costa's donkey was shot and killed, and he and his bride fled. In the end, in the minefield, a lot of sheep were killed...
Where there are extra people appearing, everything carries the wanton evil of human beings. Is the director accusing people of bad attitudes towards nature and territory?
The film itself is very comfortable, with high picture saturation, strong contrast between light and dark, and many scene metaphors (not metaphors, I don’t think the director wants to get too political in this romantic film; don’t know Serbian culture, several I don’t understand the meaning of the close-up shots), a lot of shots give me a warm feeling, the warmth in the color tone, I had sex in a wooden house in a reed field, just about to start the window panel blocked the shot, the director is very humorous, I A knowing smile, humorous for that. Then suddenly the house collapsed, and the four walls and roof fell to one side, leaving the two of them in a fog, quite psychedelic.
Too much to say. I want to write a lot about the goose at the beginning, about the butterfly, and the final scene, but let’s stop there, it’s already spoiled a lot.
The director is Kusturica, never heard of him (I watch too few movies), is it a Serbian director? Monica Bellucci is also getting older, and the canthus of her eyes has invaded her, but she is still lingering, goddess.
