'Song of the Soldiers': My Heart's Best Love Scene
Liu Qiang loves movies
"Song of the Soldier" is not a romance movie, it should be a road movie in a broad sense. Of course, this is not accurate enough, because road movies, as a genre, matured ten years after the release of "Song of the Soldiers". Anyway, the best love scene in my heart is in this non-romance movie.
The first time I watched "Song of the Soldier" was more than ten years ago. The most impressive scenes were the scenes of Alyosha and Shula on the train. At the time, I just thought it was good, and I couldn't say one, two or three. I watched it later. After more love scenes, I feel more and more that the love scenes of "Song of the Soldiers" are really good.
The first is not to contrive. Love scenes in ordinary movies are easy to contrive. This "artificial" mainly means unnatural, in other words, unreal. For example, the situation is contrived. It has to be the extreme situation of life and death, landslides and tsunamis. Of course, it is not that such a situation cannot be filmed, but such a situation is only worthy of the earth-shattering love. After so many years, "Titanic" is completed. Task. For example, the technique is contrived, and the balance between reality and romance is not well balanced, and it is easy to slip into the abyss of blind romance, often out of the fireworks and sweetness of the world. As for the contrived aspects of performance, art, and clothing, it is more intuitive. None of these mistakes are made in the love scenes of "Song of the Soldiers". It makes people feel friendly and natural when they look at them. To use the popular words recently, they are "little luck". The drama of the people around you.
The second is good rhythm. The natural beauty of the love scene in "Song of the Soldiers" is largely due to the master creator's superior control over the rhythm of a single scene and the entire scene. There are ups and downs in a single scene, as well as in the whole scene. Tension and relief are scattered, serious and humorous. Whether it is the plot level or the emotional level, the rhythm is strong and weak. Dolls, joys and sorrows are all under the control of the main creator of the film.
The end is sad. Although the audience hopes to see love with a happy ending, they have to admit that the love with a sad ending has a greater emotional impact on the audience, making people unforgettable, and most importantly, making people cherish their loved ones more. . What is commendable is that the love scene in "Song of the Soldiers" firmly holds the bottom line of "sadness" and does not degenerate into "tragic". This kind of creative restraint is a very advanced state, which is better than promiscuous sway. Much harder.
Love scenes are only part of "Song of the Soldiers". There is a lot to be said about this movie. This review is just an introduction. I hope you don't turn away from it because of its long history. It is the most important thing to see and feel for yourself.
Some movies, like others, are not to be missed.
