The lens language of the film and the cold realism of the documentary, the fusion of the two will tell such a true story. The lines of the mother-daughter duo impressed me a lot. To quote some of them: "I'm like a tree, I can't go anywhere." "Can you imagine spring coming?" "Is there spring?" "It's been many winters." And there's Bee-picker's words to a nomad's son: "Why don't you get out of here?" "If I had a son like yours, it might be different. But I don't." Very little dialogue, but Each sentence is the essence of the plot: advancement and conflict. Documentaries are generally very coherent, focusing on telling the story completely, but this one is different, many of the background and the promotion of the plot are not clearly stated, there is no narration, no music, and no emotional hints. But the language of the camera makes everything clear - the oil painting-like thick and cold expression, the shock is indescribable. In the beginning, the dull, step-by-step life of a bee-picker, and then the sudden intrusion of nomads, her life has been turbulent and has a new interest. However, nomads only live in the present, regardless of their long-term lifestyle, breaking the frozen routine of this land. She told the man, "Take half, keep half", but the man didn't listen. The buyer told him to take out 200 pounds. He did not obey the iron law of ecology. Under the flight of flies. They drained the barren land and drove their cars away again to the next land where they could suck blood. Winter came again, and the bee-pickers had no more bees. She had a conflict with her mother. The meal was thrown on the ground, and the kitten quickly came to lick it. Later, she called her mother, but no one came back to her. Sad and mournful cries were muffled in the small earthen hut, and it was snowing heavily outside. There is a scene here, she is holding a torch to drive away the devil in the dark forest, and her eyes are full of tears. I've never seen such a documentary, I've seen a documentary-style film, such as Hirokazu Kore-eda's film, but it's the first time I've watched a documentary in the style of making a film. The theme is clear, not only the peaceful coexistence of man and ecology, but also the loneliness of bee-pickers, the distress of nomadic children, and the hesitation and shortsightedness of nomadic fathers. I thought at the time that if this story was made into a movie, it might get pretty good results, but fortunately it was presented in the form of a documentary, because the face tempered by real experience is beyond the reach of any technology. reality.
