On this day, the "Film Industry Promotion Law" stipulates that films without a "Film Public Screening License" shall not be distributed, screened, or participated in film festivals.
The many small-budget independent film directors may be blocked again.
On this day, Jia Zhangke's "Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" was released in theaters across the country, and this is a film that may be qualified to represent the highest level of current domestic theater films. As a big brother, I tell you young people with ideas that we still have a way out, and we still have many possibilities.
Jia Zhangke is a director who is particularly willing to spend his time on film language. The day before, I attended his meeting at Fangsuo Bookstore in Guangzhou.
He said: "The Destiny of Heaven" (his previous film) is a tit-for-tat movie, while "The Old Man of the Mountains and Rivers" is a movie with a needle hidden in the cotton.
I want to say that every piece of free writing in "The Old Man of the Mountains and Rivers" is wonderful, neither eschewing the vulgar nor being a slut. In the mainline narrative, the clues seem to be inadvertently grasped, but they can be cleverly connected at each rhythm point and marked elegantly. Plays the role of a mature film language learner.
Even when it comes to death, there is still a principled approach to truth rather than sensationalism.
Even when it comes to grief, it can immediately dissolve in the background of the ancient city that was switched out in time.
Even when it comes to strange feelings, the two sides of the year-end love are just rightly dependent on each other in the loneliness and helplessness.
It may be that the image of the old Zhang Jinsheng is not full enough, the arc of the childhood Zhang Dollar and the young Zhang Dollar is a bit big, and the key points of the clues are hidden.
Ask old people to meet, see the mountains and rivers unchanged. In the sacrificial songs of an era, there is a strong collision of ideas, the humble and vain resistance of people's deeds, and the soft shouts in the tide.
I especially like the first and last songs, a disco, a burnt-out time, and I can see myself in a trance in the reflection in the river of time. Jia Zhangke said that he studied at Nortel in 1993. Every Saturday, a group of young people would go to a disco in front of the school to dance. When they sang the pet shop boy's "Go West", all the people who knew and didn't know on the dance floor would dance. All of my friends will put their hands on the front shoulders, and everyone will follow this song to drive the train together.
The title of "Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" is the group dance of this song, and the end of the title is the solo dance of this song. Maybe people can't live too lively when they are young, and when they are old, they can't stand this kind of loneliness when they are nostalgic.
I saw a poem on Weibo:
You seek a flower but you find a fruit/ You seek a spring/ But you find an ocean/ You seek a woman/ But you find a soul/ You are disappointed by
those who were young Like, those moments of perverted and wanton, those jumping in the air suddenly sensed the loss. We are all in the confusion of seeing a vast ocean and a barren flood, and we say goodbye without waving.
