Mikhalkov's Memories of Mongolia
Anderson 2022-02-25 08:02:45
It's still Mikhalkov's, formerly called "The Reins", and it's still the old theme - the contradiction between industrial civilization and national traditions. Traditional glories are often easily lost in the struggles of reality (the theme is the same as his "The Barber of Siberia," but much more concise and cleaner). But in the end, the hero still didn't use condoms, so he had his fourth child, Temujin, which was full of glorious memories.
The narrative is smooth and the theme is clear. In the final dream, it is very surreal. Temujin returned to the Mongolian steppe with his iron cavalry and defeated the TV.

Beautiful shot. The theme discussed in the film is still a big proposition today. Under the opposition and penetration between the traditional life of the ancient nation and the modern civilization, after the original belief system collapsed, where should the human spirit be placed? What will be the fate of man? Wanma Caidan's film actually originated from such discussions. The life of the Gongba family lasted for thousands of years, but an outsider, a condom, a bicycle, and a TV all reminded the Gongba family of the desolation of the vast grasslands and the richness of the outside world. It was ironic that a family watched the scenery of the grasslands on TV. Facing the outside world, Gomba in reality has childlike curiosity, but deep down, the appearance of Genghis Khan also reflects his fear and resistance. The act of not buying condoms is his silent resistance and his desire for the free delivery of the nation. And the grassland facing his son was greeted with abrupt chimneys, which was completely the sharpest prediction of today's world.
