Life is like a big river - "Love in the Big River" cole Posted at: 2007-12-03 21:45
On the wall of the bedside in the bedroom, there has been a framed movie poster showing a river flowing through the jungle. , There is a huge rock on the river, the man stands on the rock, raises the long fishing line in his hand, and the fishing line draws a beautiful arc in the air. I knew for a long time that the movie was called "A River Runs Through It", and this poster also moved with me several times in Beijing. The vigorous wave in the green light and shadow has always accompanied me to my dreams every night, but I didn't realize it until I fell asleep. I just watched this movie recently.



I wonder if Wang Feng had just watched this movie when he wrote his "Flying Higher". "Life is like a big river, sometimes quiet, sometimes crazy", which is very appropriate for this film. Two brothers, two very different lives. One is calm and step-by-step, one is madly unrestrained; one is gentle, one is wild and uninhibited; one left his hometown to achieve professional achievements and finally wrote this memory about Dahe, and the other never left and regarded Dahe as his own life but died early.



Which is the life we ​​want. I think a lot of people are emphasizing that life is not equal to art, and the ordinary is the reality. But in fact, after watching the movie, I didn't really feel sorry for my younger brother's death. He lived so wonderfully in his lifetime, and his nature merged with the big river. In my opinion, that galloping river actually belongs to more his. Brother is lucky. If there is no younger brother, where will this work of his later years come from. Such a younger brother made him feel the existence of another form of life at the closest distance. Perhaps the best form of life is a combination of the two, like a river, with the calm of the shallows and the rush of the reefs.



In fact, life is also an art.



Watching such a movie about the big river, my mind returned to the wider river in front of my hometown. For several years, the river has flowed like this, and the stories of how many people have been seen by it one by one.

    A year later, the second time I watched it was using the big screen in class, I was hit by the same feeling. Their lives melt into the ever-changing river, and their own rhythms should be created in their lives.
