My knowledge of Yugoslavia is still at the 1999 US bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia. At that time, when I was very young, I remember that I wrote a protest essay filled with patriotism and indignation. My impression of the turmoil in Yugoslavia was probably It was formed at that time.
And this epic work took me to Yugoslavia from World War II to the Cold War. It described the 50-year struggle for occupation, freedom and devastation. In nearly three hours of light and shadow, it gave me more than when I knew the bombing of the embassy in the South. strong impact
The beginning of the film is a chaotic carnival. The music is messy and loud, and it tore the silence of the night. That night, Ah Hei joined the Communist Party and became a match for the Marco brothers. Since then, the wolf smoke war has been on the ground and underground love and hatred have gradually unfolded around these two people.
Mr. Ahei is a bit of a gangster revolutionary. He is fond of carnival parties, intoxicated by high alcohol, and chasing after the feminine woman. His belief in revolution is simple, rude and firm. Even in the cellar, he can't suppress him The passion for fighting is a bit like Li Zicheng and Hong Xiuquan
Marco is more like a revolutionary poet with a little bit of opportunistic fluke. He can be a hero in troubled times and a ruler of the world, but this land has no room for him to use his revolutionary courage, politician's astute poet's romance. about trapping Ah Hei in the cellar
And Natalia, the woman who survived by relying on others like a parasite in the turbulent world, can only regret that she wants to give her brother the best treatment, longing for true love, the guilt of the people in the cellar, the struggle of lies, all the true temperament is hidden in the sight under the frivolous exterior
The German Army is gone, the Soviet Union is here, the Soviet Union is gone, the peacekeeping is here, the Second World War is gone, the Cold War is here, the Cold War is gone, the Civil War is here, Marco didn't lie, the war never ended
When Ah Hei walked out of the cellar with his son and planned to start a surprise attack on the enemy With his silly son immersed in the excitement of the battle until at the end his Jovan sinks in horror in the water The white-haired man sends the black-haired man so sad
And Marco's younger brother, Ivan, left the cellar in pursuit of his orangutan, Sonny. In a mental hospital, he learned the truth about his 15 years of isolation underground. He wanted to go back to Yugoslavia, but passing soldiers told him he didn't have it. It turned out that the price of escaping a lie was to face the homeland that lost his name, just like he lost his zoo at that time, he hangs himself on the beam again, but this time he really went
Amidst all the chaos and coincidences, only Ah Hei was left alive. He had hallucinations and plunged into the well to find his son. When he came out of the water, the party was full of drums. Everyone was alive. They were singing and dancing. Marco took Natalia cautiously. Appeared and asked Ah Hei's forgiveness Ah Hei said that I forgive you but I will never forget that the land you were originally connected to the mainland slowly split apart, laughter and laughter drifted away, leaving only Ivan's words "A long time ago there was a country called Yugoslavia..."
The whole movie shows this history in a ridiculous and comical way, and even has a lot of laughs, but in the third act, I couldn't laugh at all. The sense of utter sadness spread from the bottom of my heart to my limbs and tears flowed silently without knowing it.
I also want to repeat one or two more about the soundtrack of the film. Many people remember "Lily Marlene". This is a song that touched both sides of the enemy and aroused the yearning for peace in everyone's heart. She was originally played in Belgrade, although she was in the film. It seems to represent deception and concealment. On the other hand, it is indeed highly recognizable and I am most impressed by the song of Ahei, Marco and Natalia. It was the wedding of Ah Hei's son later, as for whether I hummed during the period, I can't remember.
I searched for a long time and finally found this song called "Mesecina", which means that the moonlight murmured like a whisper at first, then the rhythm became faster and the mood became more intense, but it sang so much that my heart was infinitely bitter, as if the basis of this movie was a comedy wrapped in a tragedy. The core of it hurts the most. That's what we all know. Laughing and crying hurts the most.
This is the first movie I saw at this year's Shanghai International Film Festival, and it is the best movie I have ever seen, the most deeply hurting me. I really hope that those war-torn and divided countries, those people who yearn for a name and a name, can finally look forward to it. Riding a white horse in spring, all the pain will belong to history
