As Jia Zhangke himself said, "I want to use movies to pay attention to ordinary people, first of all, to respect secular life." In the slow flow of time, I feel the joy and heaviness of each ordinary life" ""Mountains and Rivers Of the Past" inherits Jia Zhangke, consistent sincerity and frankness, with a strong and simple documentary style, a deep and gentle civilian consciousness to show nostalgia and sadness for the times, and sincere respect and care for the civilian life in the real situation, in the movie, Jia Zhangke shows that he has always cared for his hometown and for small people, reflecting the tragic fate of small people, and in the face of helplessness in social life, While giving a strong humanistic care, it also contains a deep speculation about the cultural crisis. The use of the visual symbol "Wenfeng Pagoda" is the most outstanding in 1999, in the clip, Shen Tao, Jinsheng, Liang Zi driving a red car, the camera falls into the Wenfeng Pagoda At this time, the three people sang with great spirit: Wenfeng Pagoda rose purple gas and stepped into the new century. In 2014, Shen Tao said: Everyone can only accompany you for a while, sooner or later if it is separated, the music sounds, Shen Tao and his son drive through the Wenfeng Pagoda, in 2025, we accompanied Shen Tao's footsteps, the sky in the opening, the birds chirping, and the era symbol "gowest" sounded, Shen Tao walked in the snow, the panoramic counter-attack shot finally appeared a Wenfeng Tower. In the twenty-six years of time, the only constant is the Wenfeng Pagoda and the road under the tower, Wenfeng Pagoda is the witness of Shen Tao's life, watching the joys and sorrows of the world, Wenfeng Pagoda as a fixed symbol repeatedly appears to lay a fixed point for Shen Tao's life path, but also makes the film's thinking about life and emotion more profound. The use of the Yellow River is also unique, the film appears many times in the Yellow River shots, such as Shen Tao driving, with his son to the ninth bend of the Yellow River, the stone stele, the 2025 Australian Jinsheng mansion in the Yellow River Song oil painting repeated intention is also a witness to the change of the three people's feelings, but also a metaphor for the dispersion of the deceased, while the Yellow River also symbolizes the hometown, the thought of the homeland, a peasant dressed as Jinsheng, the Yellow River oil painting in the Australian mansion, but also an irony of the Oriental youth choosing to pursue the Western capitalist life, In the end, I found that what I could not leave in my heart was still the thoughts of my homeland. Music: gowest is the theme song of the 1994 World Cup, Jia Zhangke's mountains and rivers have given them a new meaning, this music appears three times repeatedly, the first time is in the opening crowd accompanied by a cheerful rhythm, dance, this is a wonderful life, the protagonists will meet all kinds of people in their lives, the beginning of life is wonderful, energetic, energetic, the second time is Shen Tao and his father mentioned that after getting along with Jinsheng, her yearning for freedom, the third time is the end, middle-aged Shen Tao, Dancing alone under the Wenfeng Tower, the song appears repeatedly, listen carefully, the together in the lyrics also forms a strong contrast with Shen Tao in his later years, from the hustle and bustle of a group of people to the single-mindedness of a good friend, the loneliness of the last person, the sense of drifting and separation comes straight to face, can only make a sound, the mountains and rivers are still just the sigh of the old man's absence. The mountains and rivers reflected in the film are after all the mountains and rivers of the deceased, the deceased has gone, and only the mountains and rivers are left. Jia Zhangke's film is like a symphony full of tension, like a sharp sword piercing into reality, those dialogues filled with hometown dialects, surging in the bland narrative, those hearts that long to be exiled, those who can never see the deceased again and the mountains and rivers that can never go back to flow quietly in time.
