The Cobbler
(2014) The Cobbler (2014)
film uses a magical technique to describe the surroundings and experiences of the male protagonist with an ordinary shoemaker and his inherited shop, which also interprets the male protagonist’s mentality Change, from planning for myself, that was my father’s business, until he started using hand sewing machines to repair shoes for those customers who repaired shoes, to all the strange encounters, I personally think it is a symbolic expression of the skill of the shoe repairer. Through the manual mastery of shoe texture, wear, wrinkles, shoe style, brand, etc., you can learn about a person’s posture, walking form, life situation, inner heart, behavior style, etc., if you can’t see it for a long time Familiar customers come to pick up the shoes, maybe the owner of the shoes is critically ill, etc....
The plot of the story is humorous, and there is no shortage of warmth. Personally, I feel that the whole movie is spread around the ending words.
Father: My father's shoes were passed on to me, and my shoes will also be passed on to you.
Father: Customers, they help us to help others.
Father: Wearing other people's shoes is a privilege, but it is also a responsibility. Max, you are the guardian of the soul. You are a veritable shoemaker, this is your career.
Father: There are many businessmen like us out there. Some are good and some are bad. They have been like this for centuries.
A long time ago, on a very cold winter night, a homeless man knocked on the door of our shop. No one else wanted to take him in. Only your great-great-grandfather let him live, feed him, and help him make up for it. Shoes, the next morning, the tramp....
At this time, in conjunction with the beginning part, Gergman doubled the rent to drive everyone out. When the shops were forced to close, they closed down one after another and even lost the tools of his workshop..., Max’s great-grandfather took advantage of his father’s When a handmade sewing machine rushed to a mission with a sense of purpose, what his great-grandfather said to his grandfather...
The shoe repair shop has gone through four generations and finally passed to the male protagonist Max.
I personally feel that the story is an experience of Max’s mentality in the process of running his father's shoemaker's shop. The core of the story is a kind of inheritance, family inheritance, cultural connotation, historical heritage, and fantasy. This is probably the ones that Chinese companies lack. I think of an Italian movie called "Forget it". I'm sorry. It is about facing the dilemma of the shoe shop passed down by the ancestors, through regrouping, to those who like to wear women's clothing. The black people asked for their opinions and finally succeeded in winning the winning cup at the Milan Shoe Fair. In the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Jian’s industrial and national rejuvenation. A group of doers who used this as a slogan emerged in our country. "And so on, from 1954 to the end of 1956. The party adopted a policy of "peaceful redemption" and gradually transformed it into a socialist public-owned enterprise through the form of state capitalism. It said it was "peaceful redemption." Some individuals with family history described the situation as " I had to do it as a last resort." I personally felt that leftism was already exhausted at that time. After the reform and opening up..., the intermittent experience, coupled with the policies forced by the times, and the destruction of the Cultural Revolution, made most of my country’s enterprises So, think of it for a reason. In fact, when the embryonic form of the commodity economy and society sprouted from capitalism, it should have been another form of inheritance. Although it is based on the connotation of commodities, it also carries a commodity economy. Give him the color. From the point of view of the meaning of life, what you are engaged in and what you have is a right but also a responsibility.
Far away, in fact, if life unfolds, you can start the lives of all kinds of people, and you will undoubtedly gain more experiences and surprises, and the results will change. After all, you have to know who you are, that is, where you are responsible. Facing profit-only real estate developers, using his own ability to defend the interests of groups and groups, when Max handed the goddess her boyfriend-Amy's shoes, he actually knew who he was, and there was a beautiful one. Memories with a kiss are enough. What we associate with what we see is not necessarily true. Every character we play has his own unknown life..., or strange, or sinful, or already At the end of the day, when Max put on Ludro's shoes, at this time Ludro was dead, he gifted Ludro's precious watch to his girlfriend, which is another kind of forgiveness and forgiveness for Ludro who did all the evil in his lifetime.
Another thing that needs to be mentioned is the background music of this film. It is also the same instrument, with slight changes in tempo and notes, giving a completely different feeling:
with the click of the sewing machine walking on the shoes, the connection is montage. On the way to Max’s train to the shoemaker's shop...the picture expands~
1: Max's way to the shoemaker's shop; (light, lazy and somewhat helpless feeling, combined with Max’s face)
corresponds to the plot and music A short paragraph made up (try to sing, don’t beat the bricks): I
am going to repair shoes again today~, (please combine the rhythm and tone of the music)
Today I am going to repair shoes again~, (please combine the rhythm and tone of music ) I
am going to repair shoes again today~, (please combine the rhythm and tone of music) I
am going to repair shoes today~, (please combine the rhythm and tone of music)
to repair shoes~, (please combine the rhythm and tone of music)
Alas , Go to repair shoes, repair shoes, ah, repair and repair,
repair, my shoes~
shoes, shoes , repaired
one pair after another~.
Or another short paragraph:
Now I am walking on the street, and I am
going to the shoe repair shop,
which is the shoe repair shop left by my father,
alas, those endless shoes,
oh, those colorful shoes fill my eyes and fill me In front of
me , the endless shoes are right in front of me, right in front of me, I
can't see my head at a glance,
No end in sight ah,
the head ah,
ah Oh Yeah head of it,
ah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah approaching the head of it,
had enough, I'm tired,
pray for you, quickly coming to an end now.
2: When the business opens, the music changes immediately, with a clear rhythm, brisk, short-board, and even some busy feelings, coupled with Max's relaxed, skilled, and easy-to-fail shoe repair skills. It depicts a series of dynamic business pictures of a professional and ordinary shoemaker.
3: The music on Max’s way home, a little sad...;
4: The day I met the black Ludro, the music repeated rhythmically, with the click of the sewing machine, the tension was flat and monotonous for a day, and then suddenly The music stopped abruptly, and the black Ludro stepped in...;
5: On the night of repairing the shoes, the machine broke down , and when he went to the basement and started using the old manual sewing machine, the music felt very sloppy, but it contained something. With a mysterious atmosphere;
6: After the rush to work, wait for Ludro to pick up the shoes, and occasionally try on Ludro's shoes; the music feels from boring to tentative to low and depressive to suddenly realized surprise.

8: When Max's mother said about her When I wanted the most desire, that brief piano episode was warm and beautiful;
9: After Max put on the shoes of the male god Amy next door, he went to the goddess room and saw the goddess in the bath in the room naked, and the music changed from anxiety. The irresistible lust became cramped and humorous...
10: Max put on his father’s shoes and spent the night of candlelit dinner with his mother;
11: Carefully and cautiously changed and followed the black Ludro;
12 : When the corpse of Ludro miraculously disappeared in his apartment;
13: When Max is in between the real estate agents, killers, street bullies, and land ruffians.
Feel free to write and write, I don't know why the movie score is so low? I feel that the film’s materials are ordinary but novel in intention, warmth, humor, no lack of joy, a certain sense of reference, and it is very interesting to savor the background music. Look at the value of life or corporate brand, it also has a certain reference significance, it is just a personal small Views, have a chance to see, a lot of exchanges, friends from all walks of life...
