This movie really brought me into my childhood. Of course, it's childhood in peacetime.
In fact, there are so many plots of children's feelings, and no one can tell exactly at which moment I officially became friends with him. Julian and Bonnet, they are two children of the same level, they like to read, they write well, and they can think deeply. When we were young, we may have had this kind of feeling for a certain companion. It was not a liking, but a simple feeling. It was a little competitive, a little curious, and a little sympathetic.
In the part of the restaurant, Bonnet and I are so similar, glad to be invited to have a meal, carefully keep politeness, and curiously observe the elders and the way they get along with this family.
The film takes children as the main characters, recording their carefree childhood on the one hand, and the heavy background of the times on the other. Both are recorded blandly.
I have seen several films set in World War II, "Life Is Beautiful" and "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas." In my opinion, both of them are relatively more individual, and "Goodbye, Children" is more universal. We all know the story of the Nazi concentration camp. There is a classic article in the middle school textbook - "No News in Auschwitz". This article puts us in the cold, dark and dull atmosphere of death. This is what I know about the concentration camps. first impression.
After that, I watched "The Boy in Striped Pajamas". At the end of the film, in order to find his partner, the boy walked from the "outside" into the "inside", followed his partner, and then walked into the "bath room". It's the knowledge of how the story will play out, and the fact that they're all ignorant kids, that the film's energy is so overwhelming.
"Life is Beautiful" is the story of an optimistic and romantic man who makes his wife and son as happy as possible. Beautiful life, their life is doomed to be miserable from birth. It is this contrast, this hope in despair, that makes it all the more painful.
The script of the film "Goodbye, Children" seems to have combined these two performance perspectives, and it is told in a plain and slow manner, which is more documentary-like authenticity and shocking by dramatic conflict.
In addition, the film's adult characters reinforce this contrast. The waiters, priests and teachers in the restaurant all made me sigh at the humanistic feelings of this country. I really liked the part in the restaurant, the Jewish gentleman, who could tell he was a well-bred middle-class man, was eating in a restaurant that he had been patronizing for twenty years, but he was always wary, he was nervous. After handing out his documents, he pretended to wait calmly, which showed the embarrassment of Jewish life at that time.
The title of the film comes from the last scene where the children and the priest say goodbye to each other, which reminds me of Dead Poets Society and Spring in the Cattle Class. This handling method is solemn and solemn, and it can also reflect the distance and friendship between the two in a balanced way.
For a film with such a dominant genre, why am I analyzing its approach. The more this kind of film, the more it can reflect the director's artistic understanding. Because of a really good director, its work looks effortless, as if it didn't take much thought. It didn't seem to say anything, but it said everything.
Finally, watch more "boring movies" and less popcorn movies. Nowadays, it seems that we can easily lose the motivation and ability to think. Simple and rude methods are popular, but the real good works may seem obscure, but they are rewarding. Movies are not entertainment for mass consumption, but an art that indulges individuals.
