I watched the Italian film "Venuto al mondo", probably because of the 2004 film "Don't Move (Don't Touch Me)", which was distributed in the In "Don't Touch Me", which is full of entanglement and deep sadness, director Sergei Castellito steadily controls the rhythm of the film, telling the whole story slowly and at the same time injecting an uneasy feeling into the audience. In my heart, so, the main creative team's "Coming to this World", which is similar to this time, is widely expected by fans.
Objectively speaking, Sergi Castellito has not buried the essence of his wife Margaret Mazzantini's original novel, nor the beauty and acting of the star Penelope Cruz, this time he holds A good story, and the most important and exciting part of this good story is also released by him properly, the time is right, the heat is just right, the effect is shocking and the aftertaste is sufficient. It can be said that the whole film is gradually getting better and better. Like "Don't Touch Me", while gradually sorting out a clear emotional context, at the critical moment, it gave the audience the truth that was both enlightened and head-on, so, The backtracking of all the previous plots unfolds involuntarily, and the audience will have a thorough understanding of the complex emotions and outrageous behaviors displayed by the characters in the first 3/4 of the film, and then understand the meaning of the English title "Twice Born".
The first part of the film patiently covered the protagonist's demands for art, love for freedom, obsession with love, as well as the flaws in the ointment and the loss of medical treatment, etc., as if it was a kind of laying out and piled up for the purpose of uncovering the mystery. People who have a hunch that things are happening and developing are far from what they seem on the surface. People who can't stand it in this part of the expression are bound to be unable to perceive the indescribable feeling at the moment when the answer to the mystery is finally revealed. The self-enrichment that should be followed will also cease to exist.
In the film, there are many interludes and different perspectives. Among them, about the suffering that took place in Sarajevo in the 1990s, a city familiar to Chinese audiences, there is a point-to-point, point-to-point expression, but this point is painful and sharp. , which will be unforgettable by the audience for a long time. In the Bosnian film "Gbavica", which also reflects the indelible pain caused by the war, the young female director Yasmira Zbanek chose the perspective of ordinary people to describe the disaster zone. To people's pain, and this film focuses on freedom-loving and life-loving artists, they have a variety of talents, photography, painting, performance, poetry or music, and their loose and cheerful dispositions and delicate and sensitive nerves. He was also ravaged, whipped, and even tempered in this catastrophe, and his body was tossed, displaced, and suffered miserably. When the red-haired music elf was tortured, the cross that longed for redemption was bound to the forced bystander. Heart, until death.
The beautiful Penelope Cruz once again gave her extraordinary acting skills, vividly reappearing more than 20 years of a woman's life and destiny. Even when she played the old image of the protagonist in the film, she still had the silence of the years The beauty of the back, and this beauty is reproduced through performance. In fact, this time, Penelope Cruz has performed as good as or even better than her previous performance in "Don't Touch Me" with the Castellitos. In this film, she plays Gemma, every Smiles and tears, every memory and meditation, have a certain sense of emotional substitution. Many times, the audience looks at the past from her perspective and position.
Life has an extremely fragile side in war, but also has a strong side. Even with a riddled past, human beings are still continuing their own lives and children, just like flowers blooming again on the ruins. Knowing the past may make life more secure in the present. After learning all the truth, the picture of Gemma waving goodbye with her son and friends is like the start of another life. Life is like a boat on water, with a steel hull on one side and fleeting water on the other. Only by possessing both can we go far.
Many scenes in the film are beautiful, and the soundtrack is pleasant to the ears. Against the background of sight and hearing, the protagonist interprets the suffering and joys and sorrows of the world, like a picture scroll that once lingered in love, and a rare peace after the war. Everything seemed so precious. In the film, Gemma's friend said: "There is only one true love in a person's life. It is like this fickle sea, but in any case, in the deepest part, it is the same." So the title of a song seems to be Very suitable for this film, the song is called "Sarajevo, my love".
