This is the first long film review I have written in my life. The reason I didn’t write it before is probably because I was always worried that my writing wasn’t good enough. Although I’ve watched a lot of movies before, I never dared to write a long review. movie review. Today, I finally mustered up the courage to get my hands on it. This movie was shown to us a week ago by the school director class teacher, and it is the only movie among many that I have not heard of or seen before.
I have watched "The Fantastic Drifting of the Young Pi" three times before, and I have experienced that the young Pi is lost in the endless sea, constantly looking for hope, and drifting alone at sea for 7 months to survive, and finally survived. He's been through a lot of cruelty: killing and eating the cook on the same boat, after the cook killed and eaten the wounded sailor and then Pie's mother. Even though he believed in religion and did not eat meat before, he still kills and eats raw fish at sea. In the endless sea, Pi could hardly see any possibility of salvation, but he still had hope. After experiencing the conflict between human nature and animal nature, Pi is truly redeemed. It was the faith in Pai's heart that led him out of the darkness in his heart. Some people think that Pi has done so many horrible things, how will he spend the rest of his life? I think: He probably reconciled with himself in the depths of his heart, for the next day of a good life. I have also watched "The Shawshank Redemption" many times, and every time I watch it, my heart is full of shock and power. Andy said "hope is always a good thing" I'll never forget. Yes, "birds who truly yearn for freedom will never be imprisoned in a cage". I also always long for the redemption of my soul like Andy.
But "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Another Spring" is different from the two. When I first watched it, I was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of spring in the film: the clear water, the gentle sunlight shining on the gentle breeze The lake is gently blowing, surrounded by mountains around the temple, the woods and grass are green, and occasionally you can hear a few bird calls, insects, and running water. eye. What a beautiful scenery, I can't help but sigh, how many people yearn for this kind of secluded landscape and leisurely life. The first thing the little monk did when he got up early in the morning with the master was to worship the Buddha. After that, there was paddling, the master rowed, and the little monk sat and watched the master. From the little monk's bright smile, I saw the child's innocence and innocence, and also saw the little monk's love for the master. Master should also love the little monk very much, even if they don't talk much between them. Every day, when Master went to the mountains and forests to chop wood, the little monk followed. Sometimes when he was bored, he would run around to play. Back at sunset, the puppy waited for them in front of the temple wagging their tails. The two of them depended on each other like this, living a leisurely and simple life. One day, the little monk was bored, so he secretly rowed a boat to the rocks on the shore, caught small fish, frogs, and snakes, tied a rope to them, and put a rock on the other end of the rope. The little monk was very amused by these. But all these were discovered by the master, and when the little monk fell asleep at night, he also tied a large stone to him. When the little monk asked the next morning, the master said: This is how fish, frogs and snakes feel. Now you must untie them, and if one of them dies, there is a stone tied to your heart forever. When the little monk went to save them, he found out that the fish and the snake were dead. He was very sad and guilty, so he burst into tears, which was also seen by the master. I think: Master is a person who knows how to educate. He will teach children to cherish life and protect animals from an early age. He should also be a person who sees life thoroughly. As for the little monk, he is the image of an ignorant and innocent child. He has right and wrong in his heart, but he also has the wildness of human nature itself. But I believe that after Cong, he will definitely reform his ways. Through Master's careful education, He will surely grow into a kind person who knows right from wrong in the future.
In the summer, a mother and daughter came, and the little monk went to the shore to pick him up. Probably they had contacted in advance. At this time, the little monk had grown up, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was already an adult, and there were no children. He was childish, but more mature. He had seen snakes mating before, and he had a gentle smile on his face, which made me feel relieved. His daughter is about the same age as him, and she will come to the temple to practice for a period of time. The little monk took them on the boat and rowed to a big tree in the water. The water in summer became clearer. The daughter is probably sick. When the mother said that the little monk looked so healthy, the little monk nodded and replied with a smile: "This tree is just like your daughter. It will grow stronger and stronger. I believe your daughter's disease must be Will be fine. At this time, I believed even more in the kindness of the little monk. After the daughter saw the master, the master immediately pointed out that the disease that the daughter had had was a heart disease. After saying goodbye to my mother, there was another woman in the temple. When going to bed at night, the little monk and the master slept on the same floor (of course, not that kind of ordinary floor, although I don't know what it is called, let's call it a floor mat for the time being). The girl slept on the floor next to it. (There are two small doors in the middle, I don't know what is the use). One morning, the little monk came in and happened to see the girl changing clothes, and the girl also happened to see her. The scene was embarrassing, and the little monk ran away shyly. This is probably the first time the little monk has seen a woman's body. Later, when the girl was praying to Buddha in the temple, she accidentally fell asleep on the ground. The little monk happened to come in again. Seeing the girl sleeping soundly, the little monk couldn't bear to scream, so he found a quilt to cover her with . After that, the little monk couldn't hold back so much, so he secretly put his hand into the girl's clothes and touched it. But the girl accidentally woke up and slapped her as soon as she got up. The little monk was also frightened, but when he recovered, he realized his sins, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and prayed non-stop, asking for forgiveness and comfort. Seeing the cute little monk, the girl also forgave him. From this, I can still see that the little monk is kinder, but he also has human desire for desire. At that moment, he did evil things, but I also think of it as the desire of adolescent boys and girls for love. , because the little monk and the girl reconciled afterwards, so they don't care about it anymore. The two of them sat on the boat, the little monk looked shy, and the girl smiled slightly. One day, the girl sat in front of the temple in a daze, and the little monk was paddling on the boat. Suddenly the boat capsized and the little monk fell into the water. The girl was very anxious. She went to the shore to look anxiously. In an instant, the little monk jumped out of the water in front of her, pulled the girl into the water, and took her to the boat. . The girl was scared and excited at first, but later she was very happy. I think, although the little monk made a mistake with the girl before, he still has his heart There is a kind and sincere heart, and the original intention is to become friends with the girl, to help her liberate her nature and find fun in nature, and their relationship is getting better and better. But it was another moment, and the picture changed, and it became unbearable to look directly at it. Four legs are displayed between the pictures. Forgive me for not understanding the first five seconds, I was thinking about how the two of them were going to chat and play together in the mountains and forests. The picture lasted a long minute, and it was very real. In the end, the two were so tired that they waded on the stone, and the girl put her head on the shoulder of the little monk. Later, their relationship continued to rise, from the young monk letting the girl sit on the stone lion, to sneaking into the girl's bed at night to make out while the master was asleep, and finally to the night when the two sneaked onto the boat and fell in love. The two of them are very happy, the little monk is also very good to the girl, always taking care of her, there is a little monk "I can't live without you" and the girl "I will never leave you" and so on if. I think this is young love. But the next morning after they were on the boat, the two of them forgot to go back. After the master saw the two on the boat, he put the chicken on the boat and pulled the boat back together with the chicken (the dog was already on the boat). replaced). At this time, they hadn't woken up yet, so the master opened the water tank of the boat to let the water flow into the boat, and only woke up when the little monk felt cold. Then came a cruel goodbye. People who believe in Buddhism cannot have love. Master believes that the girl's heart disease lies in the lack of love. Now that she has it, it is time for her to recover. He must send the girl over. No matter how the little monk and the girl cried and begged, the master ignored them. Seeing the back of the girl being sent away by the master, the little monk was very sad. The master taught the little monk: This is also inevitable. People always have desires, desires will lead to obsessions, and obsessions will lead to killing intentions. But how could the little monk understand so much. He only had that girl in his heart. He did not accept the master's approach. He sneaked away the next day, and took the little stone Buddha with him before leaving. The master didn't actually fall asleep, but he didn't stop the little monk either. The stone lion crawled into the girl's bed and made out at night while the master was asleep, and finally the two sneaked onto the boat at night to make love.

In autumn, the leaves turn red and yellow, and the surrounding of the temple is still a picturesque scenery. Of course, I don't know how many years to come. The old monk went out to chop wood as usual, and came back to worship the Buddha that was no longer there. After being brought back with a new pet kitten, eating rice cakes bought outside, and reading the newspaper, I realized that there was a little monk in the newspaper! After that, the little monk actually came back (although it is not too small). At this time, he has grown a lot, and he has a mature appearance, his hair is messy, and his beard has not been shaved for a long time, and he looks very decadent. After the master took him to the temple by boat, there was no expression of joy or anger, and he just said plainly: You are back, you look much more mature than before. The little monk didn't pay attention, just looked very annoyed, it seems that he no longer has any respect for the master. When the master asked how the outside world was, the little monk replied, "It's too difficult! The chicken also got on the boat with the three of them and left, and the old monk was alone again. Suddenly, one day, he lit a fire on the boat and sat on the boat with suicide paper pasted on his face. The fire was burning fiercely, and the paper was wet with tears. This is probably a kind of detachment. When people reach a certain state, they will see through life and death, and the rest are not important at all. That's what I thought when I saw this.
Winter is extremely cold, the lake is frozen, and everything is white. Even so, the scenery is very beautiful, and this place is too attractive. It has been many years again, and the little monk has probably reached the age of forty. He was released from prison and returned to the temple where he had grown up. At this time, there is no need for a boat, and you can walk directly into the temple. What he saw was an empty house, only the snake curled up on the neat clothes of the master on the ground. When he went out, he saw the sinking boat in the river, but at that time, he seemed to understand Master's actions, so he just left quietly. He searched the room for what Master might have left, and then found a scripture book with pictures of various exercises in it. Just like people treat the Bible, he also regarded this book as salvation. the road. Every day, I practice martial arts naked in the cold winter and keep fit. By the frozen stream, he chiseled the ice into a Buddha statue. One snowy day, a mother came to the temple with a baby. She didn't say much, she was covered with a veil, and she just handed the baby to the little monk with a crying face and left, but an accident on the way, He fell into the hole cut by the little monk and drowned. The next day the little monk got up and found the woman's body. In order to be detached like the master, he was tied with a rope and carried a heavy stone to the top of the mountain step by step. No matter if he stumbled or fell, he persevered. He was carrying a Buddha statue on his back, but he accidentally fell off the mountainside while climbing, so he had to pick it up again. When he climbed the top of the mountain and overlooked all things, he put the stone Buddha on the side and made the same posture as the Buddha statue. This is probably the redemption.
Another spring, the child has grown up, and has grown to be about the same age as the little monk when he first started, and even his appearance is very similar. The little monk also takes the child with him all day long, just like the old monk with the little monk in the past. The innocent smile of the child is really very similar to the little monk's smile when he was a child. This is what the director deliberately did. One day, when the child was bored, he sneaked out with the little monk behind his back. In the same place, small fish, frogs, snakes were caught, and stones were put in their mouths. The child laughed happily.
At the end of the film, the Buddha statue that had been placed on the top of the mountain by the little monk stood there, overlooking the surroundings, including the temple surrounded by mountains and rivers.
After reading it, my first impression is that its main theme is life. I said to the teacher: Everyone will experience from ignorance to clear vision in his life. From experiencing love to encountering the confusion of separation, the pain of loss, to committing sins, unable to control desires, to self-redemption later, to complete the liberation of the soul, so as to transcend the world and see through life and death. Just like the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are all constantly exchanged, passed down from generation to generation, and constantly reincarnated. This is life.
After listening to my feelings about the movie, the teacher just laughed without saying a word. When the other students finished answering their feelings, the teacher said: I don't have any judgment on this film, because it has a very profound meaning, and even many university professors can't have a completely correct understanding of it, no matter how much online film reviews are written No matter how long it is, it cannot fully fit into the true connotation of the film.
After I got home, I read some movie reviews, only to realize that I made a lot of mistakes. Why did the old monk commit suicide? Is it because he was detached from the world? No, from his tears, he felt remorse in his heart. He regretted that his own apprentice had become a murderer. Just found out it's impossible. How wise he is, and he has believed in Buddhism all his life, and in the end, he is just like us, afraid of death. He taught the little monk to love animals, but he wrote with the tail of a cat. I thought the theme of the film was positive, but it was actually pessimistic. Has the little monk really accomplished redemption? I don’t know, he just wanted to atone for his sins by moving stones, that is, the sins he committed when he was a child. He kept the Buddha by his side, in fact, he wanted the Buddha to give him comfort, not Let him live in fear, pain, and darkness. The hole he dug accidentally cost another life. Many people think that this movie uses too many metaphors that seem to be profound, but in fact it is thematically empty, but it is not. The director's purpose is probably also here, to use the most profound things such as Buddha statues to reflect the most genuine darkness of human nature. For a moment, I almost thought that nature was what the film wanted to express, because the mountains and flowing waters were really picturesque, and the light of the shooting was also bright and beautiful, and the music was smooth and relaxed, with a leisurely touch. sentimental. In fact, the word human nature is the most suitable theme.
But is human nature dark or light? In fact, the two are one. Human nature is complicated, in one moment you may be a kind person, the next second, you may become a bloodthirsty monster. The complexity of human nature is also one of the themes. The little monk started to know how to cherish life when he killed small animals, but later he killed his rival in love. He has a kind heart in his heart, but also has a desire from his nature.
It's a loop movie that begins and ends in an endless loop. Some people say that human beings are inherently sinful, that is, they are born with sins that can only be made up for through redemption. But if we can never truly redeem ourselves, what is the meaning of life?
Probably just like this season, it keeps changing and growing again and again, in this seemingly different life.
This doesn't seem to be a movie review, but an afterthought, but I hope you can point out your opinions and suggestions and my shortcomings, so that I can slowly improve in the future, thank you all!
