The turbulent in the dull, the details are touching

As a 1955 Indian film, it is also the director's debut, and the degree of completion is amazing. I regret not buying the last two parts of the trilogy.

The photography is beautiful, especially the landscapes and plants, even black and white can't cover it up. The narrative style is rustic, even a bit tame and everyday, but there is a real power to it.

I liked the scene where my sister and Apu watched the train through the reeds the most. My sister said that she would go to see the train with Apu when she was cured, but she couldn't survive that stormy night. The dilapidated hut can't protect my sister, and the speeding train can't go to the distance they want.

What my aunt was humming was her own requiem, and it was also a dirge for society. There are waves in the bland, and the details are touching.

    7/10. The sympathy comes from Rey's innuendo to the Indians who abide by the tradition and don't make progress. The face of her aunt's kindness is likened to the silhouette on the wall of the gods. She can see through the situation and sing traditional songs in the night wind. The incident of the house being devastated by the wind forced the impoverished Indian family to give up sticking to the tradition. At the end, following the oil lamp at the bottom of the ox cart, the family moved out of the primitive jungle. In the empty mirror, a snake slid through the withered ancestral house, showing The irreparable regrets of childhood. Natural images continue to interpret the meaning of beauty: when the mother brushes her hair while watching her sister punish her for cleaning the yard, her sister’s upper body is deeply bent and close to the ground in a dance-like posture, the cats and dogs play under the eaves, and the aunt smiles and pours the leftover water on the weeds in the corner of the wall , the simple image eliminates the suffering of the elder sister being punished; the big vision in the opening chapter, the elder sister who stole the orchard hides beside the roots of the tree, and the walking posture of the fruit on the mother's head complements the mottled tree shadow; The winding paths, the reflections of the river, and the peddlers followed; the mysterious sound of the train attracts the brothers and sisters to look across the reeds and the railroad tracks, echoing in the quiet night when the elder sister passed away, forming a beautiful life experience.

    My father went out to make money for a few months, and my mother died because of the food. My sister got a fever and caught a cold in the middle of the night. My aunt was driven away by my mother and had nowhere to go. It's a pity that the family is better than anything as long as they are together I bought a scarf and my brother became independent in seconds after his sister's death. When he moved, he found the beads that his sister had stolen and ran out quietly and threw them into the river to save his sister's reputation.

Pather Panchali quotes

  • Durga: Holy pond and flower garland, who worships here in the noonday sun? It is I, Leelavati, sister of my brothers. May my sons be numberless, and may I die by the holy Ganges. Mother Goddess, counsel me. I know not how to pray. Grant me this blessing.

  • Durga: By leaf of lime and karamcha tree, rain, rain, away with thee! Rain, rain, away with thee!
