false when true

A film that is ten years older than me, but doesn't have the obvious historical traces of old films. If I didn't know it was a work in the 1970s, it might be considered a recent new film.
The film won Best Cinematography at the 1979 Oscars. I don't know anything about photography, but I can still see the beauty of the scenery in the film. The train running on the vast plain, the classical-style villa in the golden wheat field, the harvest people in the wheat field under the sunset, and the people revelling by the bonfire at night, these scenes constitute groups of vivid and beautiful pictures. As far as the picture is concerned, the film "Days of Heaven" can be said to have been a success.
Some people say that this is a boring film, and I can't help but ask, why did you say this? Such a beautiful shot and such a cheerful music can still be called a dull film? It can only be said that some people's appreciation level is only limited to the Hollywood blockbuster of slapstick and kiss me.

Days of Heaven quotes

  • Linda: Are we gonna stay?

    Bill: If she wants to.

    Linda: You'd rather go?

    Bill: I'd rather be the King of Siam.

  • Linda: He was tired of livin' like the rest of them - nosin' around like a pig in a gutter. He wasn't in the mood no more. He figured there must be somethin' wrong with 'em - the way they always got no luck - and they oughta get it straightened out. He figured some people need more than they got, other people got more than they need. Just a matter of gettin' us all together.
