not only the temptation of the spices in the grandfather's shop, but also the childhood sweetheart. Unfinished love, as well as the tearful confession of the father, the recognition of identity, the grievances between Turkey and Greece, and the entangled national emotions and cultural deposits that have been entangled for a thousand years.
From the perspective of old and young family affection, I have seen the simple emotions shared by human beings.
Reflecting religious beliefs from personal growth, I have seen
From the special cooking and seasoning to represent the unique cultural characteristics, I have seen
From the youthful The ignorance of the juvenile and the misery of missing out when I want to meet and unmarried later, I have seen "The Notebook of Love
" and it is all perfectly blended like Istanbul's blue cathedral and the Bosphorus Strait, only this one This film has created a miracle at the box office of Greek films, and it is also one of the few films in Greek history that have been exported to the world. The original Greek name is Politik Kuzina
, and the English title is A Touch of Spice. It is said that the original Greek name is It's a pun, because politik can be interpreted as both "political" and "from Istanbul", because the Greeks called Istanbul (their Constantinople) "polis", which is equivalent to the English word "the City", the one and only city in the world.
The success of director Tassos Boulmetis's splendid work lies in his heartfelt sincerity and strong and complex emotions. The film is said to be based on his own It was written by his experience. All the tears and the thick steam of the train that night when he was forced to leave must have been twisted into a complex that could never be solved in his heart. He was finally able to express it in the age of no confusion, except In addition to the perfect picture and superb performance, the most touching thing is probably the wonderful music, which can always be played at the most appropriate time, bringing out the tears in my eyes.
There are always people clamoring to keep literature and art away from politics, but is this possible? Since politics is an activity of human society, and we are social animals, how can we be completely isolated from this activity. Like Fanny in the movie, all life was completely disrupted by politics at the age of 7. But we also have art, the most personal and most resonant means to describe it all, to be thought-provoking, or shocking Mind, to resolve the entangled complex in our hearts. Who can say that this is not a means of resistance?
Perhaps, our country's director Zhang Da Dao Chen Da Dao Feng Da Dao should watch this film: there is no big production, no Fight scenes, no coy lines and tricky endings, no international superstars. There are simple and deep emotions and dedication to the heart.
One of my favorite scenes is when grandpa teaches Fanny about astronomy, using all kinds of spices Representing every celestial body: Pepper is hot and scorches, just like the sun. Venus is the most beautiful woman and cinnamon is bitter and sweet, just like a woman. In the final scene, the astronomer Vanny returns to the spice that has been abandoned for many years Shop, find the scattered spices from the corner, spread them on the table, find the feeling that has been lost for many years, and then blow it away again, the fragrance lingers like a psychedelic universe... There is nothing better than astronomy Can it represent the essence of ancient Greek civilization? The ancient Greeks were probably too focused on the beauty of the starry sky to be fascinated by the natural world, and then they had those simple and profound philosophical thoughts.
There is such a line: Old wounds are sneaky. The old wounds on the Greeks like Xiaofanni can probably be traced back to the beginning of the Byzantine Empire's conquest by the Turks in 1453. When the conquerors want to remove the original inhabitants from their own What kind of departure is it when you are driven away from your homeland! However, there are Greeks like grandpa who will always stick to their homeland---the most beautiful city in the world refuses to leave, even if they experience flesh and blood Parting torment, the power of this belief is probably beyond our comprehension. But the most valuable thing is that Turkey, as a conqueror, is not ferocious, and this movie has not been reduced to a political accusation full of bloody violence. It can be seen that although the soul is invisible , But the power is comparable to a sharp sword, and although the individual is small, its truth transcends all pretense.
