"My Father and Mother" tells the story of a mother--Zhao Di bravely fell in love with the father who gave birth to a child--a simple young teacher. And finally, a love story with his father who looks and stays for a lifetime. Along the winding road, I can always see the eagerly looking forward eyes of my mother, which is a persistent, firm and pure love. The winding road home also seems to indicate the hardships of this love. Through a simple narrative, the director expresses the happiness of ordinary mutual support, praises love, and praises life. The audience was deeply moved by the long stream of water. With the melodious and melodious background music, the story pushes the dullness to the climax again and again, and then returns to the blandishment at the extreme of gorgeousness, and at the extreme of affection, it is a pure and unpretentious piece of nature. This just reflects the love of "holding the hand of the child. Harmony with the child" that the whole film sings.
The mother is a stubborn person, and this "stubbornness" is manifested in her dedication to love. In the beginning, her mother, who was thinking about her father, tried her best to see her father; in order to hear him reading aloud, she did not hesitate to go all the way to the Qianjing to fetch water; in order to attract his attention, she waited every day by the roadside to send students he. She was so smart and tried her best to get close to her father. She grew up in the countryside, but for love, she became so witty and brave. Finally, Zhao Di's beauty and sincerity touched Teacher Luo's heart, and they fell in love very romantically and traditionally. A plastic red-haired card was the token of love he gave her. However, at the moment when his heart just hit, tragedy struck: his father was inexplicably labeled as a rightist and was taken away. She was crazy, and chased along the road with steamed dumplings in her arms. People fell, the steamed dumplings were rotten, and the blue and white bowl was broken. She sat on the grass and cried a lot, it was a kind of loss, a kind of helplessness. How she longed for her father to have a bite of the dumplings she made by herself, even if there was one. She is so silently dedicated to love. Later, the blue-and-white bowl was made by a skilled bowl maker, but he could not heal the broken heart of the girl. Zhao Di decides to drag her sick body to find her first love, but the blind mother can't stop Zhao Di's determination. She staggered on the road, but fainted halfway, was sent back by passers-by, and the stubborn Zhao Di struggled to get up and risked her death to search. Just at this moment, Teacher Luo came unexpectedly. She was lying on the hospital bed, and big tears fell freely from her beautiful and haggard eyes. Later, he never left her again. The two have been in love for 40 years, and they have been close to each other. This is God's return to her. She used her sincere heart to light up her father's return.
The end of the film is what moved me the most. The funeral procession, which originally consisted of only 36 people, became huge and grand due to the addition of my father and students. In the dialogue of childbirth, he said, "Some people are much older than me. I don't know what to call them, but the village chief said, 'It's not the same, they are Mr. Luo's students'". distance between people. All mourners other than birth children and mothers are grouped together, they are students or commoners who respect their fathers. Their conscious actions were simply to repay their father's past kindness. This is a kind of return of human warmth. In the bleak winter wind, the snow on the ground was lifted like dust, confusing the road ahead. But this kind of warmth swept away the cold atmosphere, and a warm current surged in the hearts of the audience. The image of the father, because of these tiny foils, suddenly became incomparably tall. The old mother was so silent at this time, she seemed to recall the various scenes of getting along with her father in those days. The love that the two gave to each other could not be exhausted in this life. Years have drawn wrinkles on her face, but they cannot erase the sincere love between the two. The funeral procession kept changing places and helping each other, while the mother was still walking calmly, step by step. We can imagine that the figure of the father must appear in everyone's mind.
Hairpins, blue-and-white porcelain bowls, and front wells have appeared in movies many times. They are all important tokens and symbols of this great love. The blue and white bowl and the Qianjing are the links that connect the two. In order to meet my father, my mother always chooses to fetch water from the farther Qianjing. The water poured back again. When my father was finally buried, he was also buried by the front well, not only to see the school, but also to commemorate the place where their love began. The blue-and-white bowl, on the other hand, carried the warm heart of her mother. Every time she gave her father a meal, she only used that bowl and changed her pattern. Just so that my father could recognize it. The broken flower seems to be telling the mother that this love has no results, but the stubborn mother does not believe it. When the grandmother asked someone to repair it again, the mother's eyes were wet, and this time she saw hope. The card is a token of love between the two. When the father gave it to the mother, we could see the joy on the mother's face. When the hairpin was accidentally lost, the mother searched for it day and night, and finally, love called it back with its most magical power.
In the film, the director uses a variety of colors to express the inner world of the characters and also render the atmosphere of the story going forward. Such as the most typical yellow. In the autumn sunshine, the earth is golden, creating a warm atmosphere. Mother dodged in the cypress forest full of yellow leaves, the golden color highlighted her ruddy face. It symbolizes the harvest, but it also has a hint of bleakness, which actually implies that this relationship will surely achieve a beautiful result after the twists and turns. In winter, white becomes the main color. At first, the snow is a "blanket" spread gently on the ground, but the more it develops, the more it becomes an accomplice to hinder the progress of the parents. The snowflakes flying all over the sky were so ferocious, and the mother who was waiting anxiously in the snow soon became a snowman, and the whole atmosphere seemed particularly depressing and depressing. But it is this kind of oppression that highlights the mother's perseverance and unyielding.
In addition, the background music in the film also played a great role in rendering. With the melodious tune and the plot of the movie, it is very sensational, and the stretched rhythm of the movie matches it very well. The entire movie music has been accompanied by Sambo's unique music. At the beginning of the film, it is highlighted, symbolizing the budding heart of the mother, who walks ignorantly step by step toward the lover's heart. When the father left and the mother waited day and night, the music became low, highlighting the inner and physical pain and torment of the mother. When the father dies, the music becomes slow and sad, underscoring the chapter's theme. In the film with music running through, the audience got a feast of vision and hearing.
The whole film is excellent, but in my humble opinion, it seems to have flaws. Too much superposition, it seems a bit deliberately sensational, can not help but a bit pretentious. In the film, Zhang Ziyi, the actor who plays the mother, has too many close-ups, looking back at the original innocent smile and showing too much, which is too hypocritical. But it is undeniable that the director and actors are very successful in their overall performance.
Finally, at the end, a voice that travels through time and space is teaching children to read. Immediately, the figures of her son and her husband merged in her eyes, and in front of her, there appeared a young and clever Zhao Di wearing a floral red jacket jumping on the path that made her unable to finish her first love. On the road when my father came, it was also the way my father came home. At the end of this road is the autumn water seen through the soulful eyes.
