I think the first thing to mention is Zhang Ziyi's performance. At that time, Zhang Ziyi was not the current international chapter, and he had not made such famous films as "Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Memoirs of a Geisha", and "The Grandmaster". He was still like a green apple, so Pure and beautiful, ignorant of world affairs, and her voice also carries the childishness of a young girl. Therefore, people who have seen it say that they are deeply impressed by Zhang Ziyi, which is inevitable. She propped up the whole film. resonance.
Then there are the details. Details make up the content, and a movie with imperfect details must also be rough in content. "My Father and Mother" is very careful in the handling of details. Every detail of it is like a pearl, and finally it is strung into a dazzling necklace in a clever way. At the beginning of the film, the son played by Sun Honglei rushes back from the city because of the death of his father to start the funeral. The mother is old but insists on weaving blocks to block the coffin for his father. This echoes the later plot, when the father came to Teaching in Sanhetun, building a school in the village, wrapping a piece of red cloth on the beam when the new house is built, this cloth is called red, and it is usually woven by the most beautiful girl in the village. Piece of red mother weaving is extra careful, echoing each other after many years, the cloth woven by mother carries that sincere and touching love, from the past to the present, the affection lasts forever in my heart, which is the most unforgettable testimony. There is another insistence of the mother, demanding that the father be brought back instead of being pulled back. The mother here seems to be paranoid and superstitious, but it is not. Because this is a road of love, the mother's way of waiting for her father was also the way that her father cared about her mother. This seemingly simple love has suffered many hardships. After several years of waiting, my father finally returned to my mother's side from this road. , and never left her again, and the lovers became married. Maybe many people don't know, the English name of this movie is "The Road Home", That is "The Way Home", I think this name more aptly expresses the theme of this film. The reason why the mother insisted on carrying the father back is because for the father, this is the way home, which is of extraordinary significance. Of course, what I said before is just a prelude, and the focus in the details is Zhao Di's performance of love. When my father first came to Sanhetun, my mother watched her husband from afar and secretly rejoiced. She went home and changed into new clothes. This is the beginning of love. Later, I used a lot of details to express my mother's affection for my father. There are two wells in the village, the front well and the back well. The back well usually draws water from the back well. Since my father came, my mother has switched to the front well to draw water. Because I would pass by the school and see my father; if I wanted my husband to eat the food I made, I made it in a different way. I hoped that my husband could eat the food she made by herself. Later, I learned that everyone was eating closely with her husband. One portion, so I quietly changed the meal I made to the first one; and my mother heard that every day after school, my father would send a few children home from a long way, so I was moved and wanted to meet on the road. Father, but when his father came, he hid again, followed from a distance, and looked at his father with affection. Here, the characteristics of a girl who is eager to meet her sweetheart but cannot hide her shyness are portrayed in detail. Later, there were many times, and the two finally met on the road, and the spark of love was naturally wiped out. Until that time when my father went to my mother's house for a pie meal, my mother stood at the door to greet him. My father said that he remembered the way his mother stood at the door holding the door frame, just like a painting. He said that he could not forget this painting for many years. This is the time of love.
color. The use of color in the film "My Father and Mother" is very original and unique. Some people describe it this way - recalling the gorgeous past in black and white reality, I think it is really good, and captures the essence of the use of color in this film. Ordinarily, memories where reality should be in color should be in black and white, but this film does the opposite and achieves unexpected results. Its real world is gloomy, and the external form expresses the inner sadness and disappointment of the characters. The love is gone, the hope in the heart is gone, and life has lost its due color. But the world in the memory is gorgeous, which shows that the mother is still immersed in the thoughts of her father and cannot extricate herself. She can't let go of this long-term relationship. The past love with her father is so pure and beautiful in her heart, and it will always be in her heart. Will not fade. The director portrayed this lingering love in such a unique way, giving people a soul-stirring beauty, which made the audience deeply moved and yearned for it.
Camera language. The camera language is very complex, and its different combinations can convey multiple layers of connotation and meaning, but here the director adopts a relatively simple camera language to correspond to the plot, making it more in line with the expression of the film content. On the way when Zhao Di and her husband met, the camera quickly switched between the eyes of the two, and the two began to be attracted to each other, then collided with each other, and finally the process of mutual admiration was accurately displayed, which has to be praised. . There is also the scene where the mother is holding the door frame. The director used the push camera, first gave a long view, and then slowly pushed forward with the heroine as the center, directly hitting the heart, outlining the kind of love in the heart, bold and bold. Enthusiastic, men and women are interested, the slap clapped. In addition, the film also uses a lot of close-up and close-up shots, so that the audience has an intimate relationship with the protagonist, which will make the audience close to the characters, care about the characters and understand the characters. The effect of this specific spatial range relationship will give the film content clarity and make It is self-evident that the film is integrated with the audience and has a strong resonance and touch.
The reason why this movie is deeply loved by everyone is not only because of its ethereal and clear music, perfect composition and sincere emotions, but more importantly, because of the disappearance of this simple and pure love in today's society. of nostalgia. The impetuousness of the current bubble love is in sharp contrast with the simplicity and sincerity conveyed by this film. Why is such a beautiful love that we can only yearn for but not have? This reminds me of Guan Jinpeng's "Rouge Button". Ruhua's madness and dedication to love makes modern men and women feel puzzled and fearful. Modern people no longer have the courage to pursue true love. They will always choose to live in the world instead of love. Sacrifice, to true love will always only be a wait-and-see attitude instead of being involved in it, what a painful realization, and at the same time, it also casts a sentimental color for fast-food love. "My Father and Mother" is a true and sincere masterpiece, it has the power to the heart, the warmth of the desire and the beauty that is indescribable.
