Only after seeing the film did I realize that it was a Polish version of "My Father and Mother". Of course, the background of this love story is much more complicated than that of Zhang Yimou. Director Paviu Pawlikowski still left a clear author mark on the picture and photography style. The retro 4:3 format and black and white images were used in the previous "Sister Ada". The Ministry is even better in the design of the soundtrack, using different styles of music to highlight the similarities and differences in the background of the times, such as the original folk ballads or orchestra chorus used in the socialist camp, while the plot is transferred to Western European capitalist countries such as France. , began to appear a lot of jazz fragments. These stylized image manipulations may be proof that they won the Best Director award from the Cannes jury this year, but the director's excellence doesn't stop there. This new work has the same shortcomings as "Nun Ada". The fragmented narrative method makes this cross-age love story unable to produce a touching charm, and only a few moments of inspiration are left. The details of the emotional changes between the male and female protagonists are basically ignored on purpose. The director tries his best to show the emotional expression of the two in a single scene, either fierce conflict or tenderness, but the explanation of the cause and effect is unclear. This kind of jumpy plot The art of cohesion greatly compromises the coherence of the story. The most critical background of the era can be said to be an important annotation of this love story. The name of the film seems to use the appellation of this special period to insinuate the evolution of the relationship between the two. It is easy to see that the director's focus is to portray the love that drifts along in the torrent of history. Unfortunately, he did not do any in-depth analysis of this rich historical period, let alone any political reflections or accusations, which made the whole love story. In the framework of a special time and space, overhead seems helpless and uninteresting.
