I didn't expect to write enough reviews, so I opened a long review for a virgin on impulse to write a complete review.
(ps.clork is also written for you, because you said that I am too subjective.)
Teacher Wang Shouzhi described Master Kang in this way in his lecture on the history of modern world art: "Because I have to rush back to class, I have to go back and forth... two Days later, all the graduate students in the class were waiting for him, but he didn’t show up, and he was later found dead in the toilet of a train (station?) two days later, with a heart attack. So it’s a building that paid for his life.”
This is to die for the design payment of the National Assembly Chamber in Dhaka, Bangladesh for debt collection.
Master Kang was actually very embarrassed in his later years. It was also mentioned in the film that various design drafts were not adopted. He has run out of money and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
The son director's description in this film moved the audience's emotions, from a basterd with three wives and three children in a chaotic private life, to finally discovering that in fact, everyone, men and women, young and old, loved him until everyone forgave him, but the son director still I couldn't forgive him from the bottom of my heart.
The film did not show the most beautiful side of the director's mother. The camera looked at the face of the old woman with white hair, and then looked at the pale pair of running shoes under her feet, and then the old woman raised her head to face the camera. The director of the son next to him said, "I firmly believe... I firmly believe that he will be with me, otherwise why did you say he crossed out the address? Son, do you have another explanation? Is there another explanation?" The woman wanted to believe in herself, but she was afraid that everything she had believed was wrong, so she wanted to seek a positive answer from the son who had only childhood memories of his father.
The mother was confused and painful. She lived her whole life in the quagmire of Master Kang's love. She was ravaged in her heart and eventually became an old woman with a beautiful head and a pale face. At that moment, the son's director was silent. He felt great distress for his mother and resentment for the great father. At that moment, he felt that simply as a son, it was difficult to overcome the confusion he had for his father. This love was too difficult.
From the beginning to the end, the director of the son did not deliberately hide the emotional fluctuations of the great father. Every shot was bloody and tearful. From his own point of view, he recorded the important architectural designs of his father, so these buildings are not only It is just a building, but the father's love for the world, love for people, and expression of human nature. All the emotions are gathered in these steel and iron bones to help human progress.
Building a better world for those you love, I think this is Master Kang's own way of expressing love.
Perhaps the film cannot be framed within the framework of architectural documentaries. Perhaps what my son records is his own subjective emotions and his own inner growth. I agree with a sentence in the introduction: "This is a film about love and art, and a story about betrayal and forgiveness."
