I had to stop and then walk slowly, I returned to this state, freedom was accompanied by anxiety that I couldn't get rid of. This anxiety came from myself on the one hand, and the outside world on the other. When I got rid of my anxiety, I Only then can we truly face life with an elegant attitude and make life more interesting. Then there is trouble. We need some time to empty our minds and simply do something that we want to do but stranded. We need to learn like children to sit there and play with toys all day. We can also focus on doing what we really want to do, leave everything behind and give ourselves space.
I have heard the name of director John Ford for a long time, and I recently found his film to watch. The title of the film is "The Grapes of Wrath", which reminds me of Martin Scorsese's "The Raging Bull". I like this work. I liked black and white films, and I fell in love with Martin and De Niro. I have a strong sense of classicism. I often use the word classic to interpret black and white tones. In my subconscious, black and white films seem more real and sincere. To watch the film "The Grapes of Wrath", you need to know enough about the social background at that time. Unfortunately, my history and political science are relatively weak, so I can't analyze it from it. Too profound historical and political significance, I can only say that the living situation of a family in that specific historical and political environment is vividly depicted by the director. The old man who died of a stroke while driving, used the corpse of the old lady to pretend to be seriously ill because he wanted to avoid the inspection of the police, the pregnant sister was abandoned by her husband, and the brother who shared suffering was beaten to death in front of his eyes. Vineyard squeezes workers, public ownership utopia, the fruit is ripe and then goes to work, the protagonist flees to find the truth. Many good movies always have a hopeful and positive ending. I firmly believe that there are some beautiful qualities in human nature that are pure, kind, and strong, and everything will always be okay. At the end of the movie, the son left his family to find the truth of the society. The mother said how can I see you in the future, and how can we contact you? The son said, "Perhaps as the pastor said, there is no soul of the self, but one great soul, the great soul of all men, so it does not matter. I will be in the dark, everywhere. , as long as you can see me, as long as you can see me, as long as someone is struggling to survive, there will be me, as long as there is a slap in the face, I will be there, I will be there where people are screaming, and children will laugh places, when they are hungry and laugh when they know dinner is ready, when people eat their own food and live in their own houses, I will be with them too."

I have never heard anything so moving. Dedication to revolution speech, I think those who dedicate themselves to revolution for democracy and justice are not alone. Until August 2010, there was an ordinary Chinese who paid the highest respect to these revolutionaries. Yes, you are still with us today.

    Very good John Ford's movie in 1940, under the economic depression, farmers who lived in rural areas were persecuted by landlords and powerful people. They left the place where they were born and became displaced and lost their dignity. Persecution, exploitation and frame-up seem to be outdated now. The left-wing ideology is strong, but it is also very good as a realistic film. There are occasional rays of light in the darkness of corruption. Also very three-dimensional and excellent, worth a look

    The People will live on! Looking at 35mm on the big screen is great The scenery paints the film with a naturalistic color, but it is no better than your country in the 1920s. In addition, this film is also about contemporary China to some extent.

The Grapes of Wrath quotes

  • Tom Joad: [At 1:18:50 into the movie, Tom Joad pulls off the road to change the left front tire. Jane Darwell gets out of the truck and sits on the front bumper. As Tom begins to get under the truck to jack the truck up, he says to Jane,] "Ma, will you get the hell off'a there! It's gonna be heavy enough..." That somehow passed the Board of Review censors.

  • Tom Joad: Listen, what is these reds? Every time ya turn around, somebody's callin' somebody else a red! What IS these reds, anyway?
