1. When my father
used a bicycle to represent life , life is endless, the wheels are endless, leaving by boat is actually leaving the world. Well, at the beginning of the film, the little girl and her father each ride a car. I think it was the father who knew that he was about to die, so he deliberately exercised the little daughter's sense of independence. Her father led her past a small tree, up the slope, and on the road of life, and the small wheel was so light in the weight of her father, the director also gave a close-up of a large and small wheel, you can see the small wheel Try to get past the big wheel. I think of my father, he would also say: Let's race to see who can ride the fastest! I will also have a proud and competitive spirit like that little girl, desperately trying to surpass my father, and I will be as happy as the little girl next to my father, a sparrow!
2. Counting 10 evenings
, the little girl came back here 10 times in total. Almost every time it is evening, when the sun goes down, or later, the sky is already dusk.
The little girl who had been waiting for her father not to come back went back alone. She didn’t give up after all. Later, when it was dusk, she came back here to see if her father’s boat had returned, and her father’s bicycle was still there, as if her father would come back again. .
She formed a consciousness that she would always come back here to take a look. On windy days, rainy days, when she was in a difficult time in her life, she would always come here again to wait for news from her father.
When she came back for the third time, she was a beautiful girl in a blue dress. The bicycle was gone. I think she had accepted the fact that her father was not there.
As she grew up, she and her three female companions passed by here on a sunny day, through the grove, and when they reached the old poplar tree, she couldn't help but stop and look out. The call of her companion made her turn her wheel forward for the first time. Pai Yang’s tree shadows in the sunset are like zebra crossings and musical scales. Her wheels turned black and white and started her life. This is the age at which she accepts the truth, and the age at which she finally returns to her father.
The fifth time, the geese flew by, she fell in love, sitting on the back frame of her lover, she only had time to turn her head and look at the direction where her father disappeared, the clouds in the sunset sky.
The sixth time, it seemed that on the night of the same day, or on the eve of her marriage, on a full moon night, she used a flashlight to find her father. The light beam in the darkness was a beacon. Did she really want to say to her father: I am tomorrow We're getting married, father, will you come back for your daughter's wedding?
The seventh time was many years later, and it was another windy day. Her two children were also her age. She and her husband each rode a car and took their children to see their father. Her child was very happy beside her parents, just like her worry-free appearance back then, but her husband sat on the water's edge to watch blankly, and she stood alone on the sloping bank looking out, leaning forward.
In winter, the earth is desolate, the tree has lost its leaves, and she is wearing a blue turban in the snow. Please allow me to speculate that there has been a gap between her and her husband, so when she came back for the eighth time, she was alone.
The ninth time, at dusk after the rain, passing a girl walking in the opposite direction, the car bell rang briskly. She went downhill and saw two birds passing by on the water that turned into a swamp, an egret standing alone on the wetlands, the vicissitudes of life, the lake water faded, life has reached the age of knowing destiny, the road to father It's about to be revealed.
A flock of chirping sparrows, where the grass was overgrown, she and her bicycle were too old to walk slowly, when she walked down the grassy slope where her father left, when she crossed the meadow and saw her father's The shipwreck, that slight touch seemed to touch a weak heart, she shrank in the ship as if snuggling in her father's arms. There seemed to be a call from her father in the sky and clouds. She stood up and ran to meet the voice. When Shaohua came back, she faced her father who had never changed at the right age. She seemed to ask: Father? is it you? Where have you been all these years? Why don't you come back to me? Father seems to say: I have been here waiting for you. She fell into her father's arms, but she was no longer the little sparrow she used to be.
3. The meaning of passers-by
When she came to see her father for the first time, the old woman who passed by, who said it wasn't her who pushed a cart to meet her father from the previous generation? Every time she meets a passerby, is there another story behind it? When she also became an old woman, the little girl who hopped and rode past her on the opposite side was probably the same father who had just left her. The reincarnation has been completed in this way, and the meaning has been extended to the entire history of time and space horizontally and vertically, and it has become the theme of all mankind.
4. Clouds, birds, trees
The first shot was given to clouds, clouds, clouds, from near to far; the last call from my father also came from clouds, clouds, from far to near.
After the father left, a white bird flew over the black poplar shadow; when it was time to fall in love, a wild goose swam by in an elegant and soothing posture; the children were playing in the water, and a water bird swept across the lake and tapped the water; On a snowy day, the call of the jackdaw shows the desolation of life; at dusk after the rain, two flying birds, one heron; a group of sparrows chirping; changed color.
The little poplar tree that I passed by before going uphill when I was a child is also old.
5. Music and images and
words are the source of misunderstanding. Words always go around the heart, and music is the channel.
Black and white characters that are so simple that they have no faces and details do not mean that they have no soul. The director's gestures and movements are enough to express delicate emotions.
6. Leave blank
for eight minutes to tell the life of countless people, and there is enough blank space for you to imagine what she is thinking, what she is saying, and what kind of mood she has.
Why are we so moved? Perhaps it is because of the Japanese way of telling stories, this forbearance, simplicity, but a profound Chinese painting-like way, which just hits the depths of our hearts.
