Last year (2019) the Telluride Film Festival showed a film that began with a woman with a dog stumbled upon two skeletons, and then presented their origins. The film finds warm humanity in cold nature and human beings.
The whole film is dominated by cool tones, and when a little warmth is projected into it, it becomes precious. It is the first time that Monkey recommends a movie. This movie uses a 1.37:1 (close to square) video ratio, and the characters and scenery are more delicate.
The film is based on the novel "Half-Life" and is set in Oregon, USA in the 1920s.
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.——William Blake, Proverbs of Hell
It's a story of friendship, and at the same time a story of "living." " Birds build their nests, spiders build their webs, and humans need friends. "
Under the cool tones, everything is peaceful and quiet at this time, the canoe is drawn into the painting and then out of the painting, down the river, leisurely and natural.
One day, the first cow in the small village appeared.
Residents expressed their curiosity about it:
Let's talk about the friendship between Cookie and King-Lu . King-Lu was hunted down by the Russians, Cookie rescued him, and then the two separated; after a while, the two met in a village and town. At this time, Cookie was in a dire situation, and King-Lu took him back to his residence.
The two dream young people "relying on" the first cow and Cookie's craftsmanship in baking cakes to open a hotel for primitive accumulation of capital. The good times didn't last long, the milk stealing incident happened, and the victim refused to forgive, and started a cat-and-mouse game, causing the two to flee for their lives in a hurry.
In the end, Cookie and King-Lu died together.
One of the monkey's favorite clips, the child laughed.
The characters in this film are very delicate, the lens language is rich, the warmth in the cool color is just right, the rhythm is controlled and coordinated naturally...
