Two clues to the actual development of Niu Shaoqing's film; the meaning and meaning of the film's title
Fan Daming: Maggie McGidi The work "Song of the Sparrow", also known as "Little Sparrow's Holiday". This film makes people watch a mixture of sadness and joy. It writes about the life of the most ordinary civilians in the contemporary Iranian countryside, in the style of Italian neorealism. The film actually unfolds two clues at the same time: one is the father's clue, from losing the ostrich and being hired and going to the city to repair and buy hearing aids for his daughter to inadvertently turning into a motorcycle driver in the city to earn money to support the family. ; One is that the son and other small partners clean the reservoir and raise fish, hoping to accumulate funds to become a "millionaire". The film is very watchable, and the director has filmed business cards such as "Little Shoes". The word "sparrow" in the title refers to the protagonists in the film. According to the title of "Little Sparrow's Holiday", it seems to refer to the son and his fellow children, because only children have the so-called winter and summer vacations. Holiday. Please share your feelings about the movie below.
Ma Yile: The film is not complicated. It tells us that there is no way out. Roads are made by people. The film is very delicate, and it says very ordinary things. Like a sparrow, the protagonist Kalin collects scraps, antennas, doors and windows, etc. from the city bit by bit to improve his life; from another point of view, it also shows that human greed or pursuit is infinite.
Wang Xiling: In the early years of New China, China released a film called "The Crow and the Sparrow". The crow refers to the upper class, and the sparrow refers to the lower class of society. The sparrows mentioned in this film are also the protagonists of the film, including father Carlin and sons and other children, they are also small people at the bottom of society. This film feels similar to Abbas's film. The film is very simple, and the techniques are not fancy, and it shows the life of the bottom people in a very delicate way. Certainly more popular and more storyline than Abbas' films.
The film is full of joy and sorrow, which makes the emotional conflict very strong; Gao Lei really used emotion to make this film
: Gao Lei: the film is full of joy and sorrow, and the two are superimposed together, which makes the emotional conflict very strong. For example, he tore his clothes while helping to carry things, and was very happy when he got new clothes. The loss and return of the ostrich is also a joy and a worry, and it is a big conflict that constitutes the basic contradiction of the film.
Jin Aiwu: The film is simple and natural, reflecting the life of people at the lowest level of society. The actions of adults touched children, and the actions of children also touched adults. The relationship between the neighbors is also very harmonious and warm. The director really used emotion to make this film, and fully mobilized the expressions and actions of the actors to portray the characters. For example, a child draws a pattern on his father's plastered leg. The excavation of these details of life is very emotional. I have already seen this film, and I can't stop watching it this time. It is still touching.
The basic idea of the film: a firm belief in a better life
Chen Xingsheng: The film is a very delicate embodiment of a very bland story. The title of the film is very apt. The adults and children in the film are sparrows. The more blockbusters I've watched, the more warm it feels to watch this kind of film. The small details in life show the real life of the people at the bottom. It should be said that although the family situation is difficult, life is still beautiful in the eyes of the male protagonist.
Fan Daming: This also represents the basic idea given to the film by the director-a firm belief in moving towards a better life. The appearance of an animal like the ostrich in the film is usually rare, which brings a different special feeling to the film, a visual and dynamic spectacle effect. The ostriches on the farm and the loss and return of the ostriches that appear throughout the film are actually a metaphor for the director's idea, and finally, by directly showing the graceful dance of the dancing ostriches, this idea is concentrated and conveyed to the audience.
The beliefs of Iranians and their role, the protagonist's honest labor and the "ostrich" complex
Chen Ding: Faith is always mentioned in Iranian movies. In the film, there is footage of the male protagonist praying on the street. At this time, he blocked the road at the entrance of the alley. The family in the car behind him patiently waited for him, and even brought him drinks. It can be seen how much religious belief holds in the hearts of people in their country, which is very touching. Perhaps because of this belief, the male protagonist does not feel that his work is very hard, on the contrary, he loves his work (whether it is on the farm, or in the city to carry passengers or deliver). We saw that he brought his own refrigerator back to his home. In the end, he did not take it as his own, but sent it back to the original owner. The film shows us here that what touched his conscience was that he saw an ostrich.
Fan Daming: Ostrich is an unforgettable complex in the heart of the protagonist. The ostrich, in fact, is his own reflection here. The return of the refrigerator to its original owner is like the return of an ostrich. The protagonist behaves like this because of this belief. Honest labor is not only the belief of the protagonist, but also his code of conduct.
Ma Yile: In the film, there are scenes where the hero does not want to take extra money, as well as the plot of sending the refrigerator back, which all reflect the role of faith in people.
The heaviness of life and the responsibility of the family: The sincere love is revealed in the confrontational beatings and scolding with the family.
Liu Ming: One of my experiences is that no matter how difficult life is, the protagonist can accept it calmly. In the often confrontational beatings and scolding with his family, his sincere love is revealed.
Xu Feng: What impressed me deeply was the expression on the face of the protagonist of the film. The heaviness of life is also depicted on his face, but more of it is the responsibility of the family. The film not only presents the difficult side, but also shows the hope before dawn.
The protagonist Kalin is still a bit macho
Fan Daming: Of course, the protagonist Kalin is still a bit macho. He feels that the family has to be supported by himself, and everything in the family has to be heard by him. His wife had sent the old blue door to another home without his consent, and he had to come back.
Chen Xingsheng: In fact, machismo is also the characteristics and conditions of their country. The male protagonist is still hard-working, kind, and people like it.
Two aerial shots overlooking the big perspective and the character and virtue of the protagonist
Van Damien: In terms of portraying these characters and virtues of the male protagonist, I noticed that the film has two aerial shots overlooking the big perspective. One appeared when he was climbing to the top of the mountain in search of a lost ostrich, and the other appeared on his way back to the blue wooden door from his neighbor's house. Especially in the latter aerial shot, because it is overlooking the big vision, people seem so insignificant in the whole piece of cultivated land, which highlights the protagonist's situation as a small person. However, in the next close-up shot, we witnessed his whole being almost pressed by the door, with the door behind his back like a mountain. The protagonist's down-to-earth and hard-working housekeeping character expressed here makes people sigh infinitely. The film language composed of the shots here has a very rich meaning. It expresses the ideological standpoint of the film and shows the director's superb artistic skills.
