The weather is especially hot today. It seems that it is summer. I want to find a movie about summer to watch, and then I think of this movie that has been on the watch list for a long time.
I didn't expect it to look good. I read that the story happened in the French countryside. It tells the warm story of grandchildren who originally lived in Paris and lived with their grandfather in the country. Like "The Summer", there are both beautiful scenery and warm stories, but the scenery is not as good as the above three films, and the warmth is also affected by translation and cultural differences, and the viewing experience is greatly reduced.
I heard this film a long time ago. From the title of the film, I imagined that there should be large flower fields and beautiful landscapes, but the farm in the film is very ordinary to me, and the various party activities are also very similar to India, so there is a gap. a bit large. And I don't understand why my grandson can go to the toilet to have sex with the two girls I just met. I don't understand why my granddaughter can sleep with a drug dealer so easily, and I don't know why my grandson turned around and fell in love with the village flower after going to bed with the girl. (Although Murakami is indeed very sexy) The change of emotional attitude here is too abrupt in my opinion, and it may be related to translation, but this further adds to my misunderstanding of the crooked nuts: they are very open, and they go to bed as casually as they eat.
In the whole film, I like the three shots and the idea of the ending shot from the perspective of my little grandson.
Scene 1: At the beginning, the little grandson leaned on the window of the train. As the train moved forward, the light hit his face brightly and darkly. In the background music of sound of silence, the scenery was thrown behind the window one by one, and the little grandson also Gradually slept sweetly, and the years were quiet.
Scene 2: The little grandson rubbed his eyes after waking up, and saw the mouths of his grandmother, sister and brother opened and closed but could not hear the conversation (the little grandson could not speak). As the voice of the conversation gradually entered, the film officially kicked off.
Scene 3: My grandfather worked hard for 17 years and finally won the olive oil gold award. He walked happily among the trees and looked at these olive trees with satisfaction. The little grandson's perspective expanded again. Under the sunlight, grandpa excitedly pointed at the olive tree and said something. In slow motion, although no sound could be heard, every body language of grandpa conveyed joy, and the picture was beautiful.
Scene 4: This has nothing to do with the little grandson, it is the idea at the end of the movie. An ipad is placed on the table, a bowl of strawberries is placed in the upper left corner of the table, one hand enters the camera to take a strawberry, and then crosses out a few stills of the characters in the film, from single to multi-person to group, each one. Zhang Du was full of smiles and happiness. After eating the strawberries, the stills were drawn, and the film was over. Only in the group photo did I realize that there was still a trace of unfinished business.
ps:
1. Why are the characters' names replaced by grandson, granddaughter, and grandfather above? It's really hard to remember foreigners' names, so I'm too lazy to go back and look at the name translation.
2. I know I should take a few pictures and paste them, but I'm lazy, so let's do it.
3. In addition, the beauty of handsome men and women in the casting of actors is indeed very eye-catching. Sound of silence should become the latest single cycle.
