When Shanhe and Nie Yinniang attended Cannes this year together, they were paying attention. At that time, I was still wondering if Chinese-language films would finally win the second Palme d'Or. The former was said that Zhao Tao performed well, while the latter said that beauty is really beautiful. As a result, Hou Dao won the best director unexpectedly, but Shanhe's deceased person failed. After watching the two films so far, I can at least make a small comment for a little comparison. I gave both movies 3 stars. I gave 7.4 to the old friend of mountains and rivers; Nie Yinniang gave it 7.0. Naturally, many people will criticize and criticize. After all, this is a personal evaluation and not professional. But I only rely on my own viewing experience as a basis. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to express my thoughts, which is understandable. The extra weight of 0.4 points I gave to Shanhe's deceased people is because of that love. Compared with the celestial spirit of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", "Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" is more mundane and intense. So do I prefer the latter to the former? Not also. I am afraid that most people yearn for the fairy style and chivalrous bones, rather than the vulgarity that has been criticized and spurned. It's just that most people can't become people with such realm. The world has made them, and they live in this world, with too many attachments and too deep emotions. Just like at the end of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", the Taoist girl said to Yinniang, "You have already mastered swordsmanship now, but you can't cut off the human relationship." A cultivator can't cut off the root of love, so why let the old man cut it off? Doesn't Hou Dao's ending say that all things in the world have feelings, and whoever chooses them has something to do with the Tao. Yin Niang did not rely on cutting off the past to become enlightened. Those who have filmed "Childhood Memories" and "Sad City" must have a deeper understanding of our young people's love. So, it's just an option. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Next, let's talk about the love of "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers"
Soon from the beginning of the plot, the majestic glacial fireworks and ice-fried ice scene showed majestic momentum. Tao watched the slow flow of the Yellow River ice, as if he could feel the clear and cold air between the mountains and rivers, and it was majestic. In this environment, people can only appear extremely small and sad. The emotional entanglement between the three seems so easily broken and split in this environment. In 2014, the old man was seriously ill, and the death of his father was a huge blow to the passing of the old man. In the second story, Tao's emotional catharsis is very full, and it is easy to understand and skip. Talk about the last paragraph of 2025. When it was still released before, many people said that the third paragraph was not as good as it should be, and it seemed redundant. The third paragraph is indeed because of the sudden withdrawal of the protagonist and the migration of the story environment, which many people cannot naturally accept. It would be much better if the section chief put more of Tao's influence in the third story, after all, the backbone of the whole story is Tao.
Dollar finally looked at the waves rolling in front of him at the seaside, and he said "Tao". He, who kept forgetting his mother's name before, why did he blurt it out at such a time? After a similarly unreconcilable conversation with his father, and being questioned by his mother's ambiguous partner, he began to think about it all. Just like Zhang Aijia said in the play "Time cannot cut blood", some things cannot be forgotten, such as mother's name. However, what was even more amazing was the hometown of Fenyang, thousands of miles away. Tao also seemed to hear the call from across the ocean, and smiled happily.
Two details before leaving home: 1. Tao still wrapped the dumplings shouting wheat ears as before, waiting for his son to return to the pot. 2. In the blink of an eye for more than ten years, the dog beside me has changed to a new one. I don't see him wearing the clothes that Tao sewed for dogs with old sweaters.
Tao, who was already white-haired and mixed with black silk, was standing in the open space, dancing with go west. The sad, helpless, but stubborn expression on his face made me cry. The snow is scattered all over the sky, alone, on this vast land, in this homeland, exhausted of life, free and joyful dance. Waiting for the new person, but the old person has gone away, and the new person in the distance does not know whether they can hear the voice of the old person. On the train to send Dollar off, Thao said to him one of my favorite lines of the year - everyone can only walk with you for a while. It turns out that we can only see the beginning of the parting, but we can't wait for the end. Frying ice that year, looking at the sea today. Suddenly dancing, no one reads it. The mountains and rivers are here, the old people are going. There are very few in the world, only love can cross.
