About ten years ago, I saw the poor life in it for the first time, and I am deeply impressed. When I got older, I learned more about the situation and things in India, such as the situation and movies in India, and found that this film is really full of Indian characteristics. and imprint. The biggest impression is the poor living conditions inside. The dilapidated houses and food make me think that it would be unimaginable if I was in it. The style of the film is just right to show and describe daily life in a light way, with a sense of reality and daily life. The presentation of rural life and scenes is actually quite poetic, such as orchards, reeds, ponds, cats, dogs, cattle and other animals... The characters each have their own unique living conditions. The image of the aunt is still moving. In addition to being naturally kind and pitiful in old age, there are also some natural desires and careful thoughts. The calmness becomes more realistic and three-dimensional. When she sang for the first time, her mother also talked about her own difficulties and difficulties that night, and she felt that everyone has their own survival dilemma. The second time this song played, it was when my aunt left. The lyrics are really It's heartbreaking, when the old man feels bad and wants to come back to spend his last days at home and when he feels unwelcome, the wide-open smile suddenly disappears, and the scene of dying alone in the wild at the end is really emotional. No one wants to get old. The ending is a bit too sad, my sister just left like this, my mother is an image of a difficult and difficult situation who manages the whole family's livelihood, the little boy is very handsome and has aura, the sister and brother are very cute, and they have the taste of childhood. It's really the same as the relationship and relationship between siblings when ordinary people were young. I like the rainy scenes and the stormy scenes at night. They are so natural, especially the countryside, ponds, lotus leaves, and children when it rains... Realistic films always resonate with people's hearts and make them feel good. deeply emotional

    9.5, a Rey-style melodrama that focuses on the neo-realism background of the bottom layer and the national poetry under Indian naturalism. Rey is worthy of being an assistant director for Renoir. Pond, lotus leaf, dragonfly, reed field, India The countryside is full of primitive earth and natural beauty under his lens, but behind the simple poetry is the closed, conservative, poor and hierarchical Indian countryside. Compared with the old tower, Ray's film may be more appropriately called a poetic realism film. , In addition to photography, the sound design of the movie is also very good. A large number of Indian national musical instruments, especially the use of some Indian drums, add a lot of color to the background of the national film. As a debut work, it is really a very high ceiling.

    One of the best debuts in film history! The perfect fusion of realism and poetry, the childishness in the suffering and the heaviness and exquisiteness after the lightness show that the creator's heart and talent (most of the crew participated in the filming for the first time), the difficult production process of this film has also become legend. The aura of each actor's gestures seamlessly fits the role. The relaxation in the first half is de-dramatized, and the tension in the last 1/3 is continuously strengthened, and tragedies come one after another. The sitar’s soundtrack is both comfortable and anxious, always in harmony with the mood, and the details in the deep focus lens are subtle. Nature is everywhere, both wonderful, smart and funny (cute kittens, watching trains in the reeds, duckweed and dragonflies in the ponds, swirling in the rain-the ultimate life & the advent of death), but also the sinister side ( The night when the storm hit the house was more frightening than any horror film). Rey’s scheduling is diverse: siblings, dogs and uncle Candy’s reflections in the water, speeding trains covering the screen, panning shots of farmers picking vegetables and cutting melons at the landlord’s house, and silent soundtracks when the news of the death is heard/ Natural sound effects...clay pots, necklaces and snakes in the house. (9.5/10)
