Since I was a child, I have been a true fan of movies. In my impression, there are many people who do not like to read books, but there are almost zero people who do not love movies. Who wouldn't love to watch movies? When I was a child, the open-air cinema in the compound was always crowded. In the evening, small benches of different colors are lined up in the dam. There are stars smiling in the deep darkness, and children are noisy in the wide playground. The movie was staged, and the noise disappeared without a trace, only countless fans were shaking, and the gunfire of the curtain and the mysterious dialogue blocked the flow of time. Many movies occupy the chessboard that I remember, like a chessboard dominating the corresponding coordinates. For example, the grid in the winter of twelve years old is full of "Happy Yellow Handkerchief", while the meridian of the nineteen-year-old summer is terrifying "Midnight Bell". The movies I have seen have been as dense as a galaxy, but the brilliant stars have shown different lights in the Milky Way of Thought. Some stars are extraordinarily dazzling, although it may have been placed in a distant childhood. Across the river of memory, there is a star that makes me regain my light from afar, and its star is called "Sand Vessel".
The original novel of the Japanese movie "Sand Ware" is the famous Japanese mystery novelist Kiyoharu Matsumoto published "Sand Ware" in 1961. The novel depicts a father and son chiyo Motoura and Hideo Motoura in the ancient countryside of Japan. Because his father, Chiyoyoshi, suffered from leprosy, an infectious disease that was difficult to cure at the time, he was strongly driven by his fellow villagers and embarked on a wandering path. They are bullied along the way until one day they meet the kind policeman Kenichi Miki. With Miki's help, Chiyoyoshi is sent to a nursing home, while Hideo Jr. runs to Osaka alone because he does not want to be adopted, becoming an apprentice to the bicycle shop owner and Kaeizo. A bombing took the lives of He Yingzang and his wife. Hideo pretended to be their son and tampered with the household registration, and many years later developed into a pianist and He Yingliang, and became engaged to the daughter of a high-ranking official, with a splendid future. By chance, Kenichi Miki recognizes Kazuhiro Kazuka in a photo as Hideo Honura and goes to Tokyo to persuade Hideo to go back to see his surviving father. He Yingliang experiences the contradictory impact of human nature, and in order to protect his future, he finally chooses to kill Kenichi Miki to cover up his tragic past that he does not want to be known. Such a fantasy twist, full of murder and human contradictions of the novel was put on the screen by director Nomura Yoshitaro, through which pictures will the essence of the novel be vividly presented? I remember the first time I saw this movie, I was in elementary school. I remember very clearly that I cried when I played his piano concerto "Fate" with He Yingliang in his concert, which he composed with the pain of his whole life. In the shot, He He Yingliang uses his superb playing technique to play "Fate" painfully and unrestrainedly. "Fate" is so ups and downs, sometimes exciting, sometimes tragic. In the sound of music, the picture begins to switch to the tragic plot of him and his father wandering around when he was a child: Hideo and his father, who are six or seven years old, stare unwillingly at their former home in the morning fog and leave step by step. Dressed in rags, they wandered by the sea and prayed in the snow and wind. Chiyoyoshi is physically disabled and vicious because of leprosy, and the father and son are beaten everywhere for food. Hideo stood in the mountains and stared at the happy children in the distant elementary school, but he could not go to school. His little heart was filled with hatred for the world.
The combination of the ups and downs of the piano concerto "Fate" and the wandering picture of father and son profoundly presents their inner despair and depravity, and also strongly shocks my little heart. Years later, I still vividly remember the picture of the huge waves lapping at the reef on the seashore, and the fallen figures of father and son. The film aroused strong sympathy from the little self of that year, and it is still sad to think back years later. I think that a good movie can resonate with the emotions in the viewer's heart, and that strong tremor can even accompany the viewer throughout his life. At the end of the film, he is arrested after the concert, and he will eventually be punished by law. However, in the tragic human world, the contradictions in the depths of human nature and the right and wrong of morality and ethics are so confusing and complex that everything can only be sealed in time and handed over to the world for comment. If the movie "Sandware" gave me my first taste of how illness alienates people from society, then the French film "Old Gun" gave me my first taste of the great horrors of violence and war. The film "The Old Gun," which won the first César Award for Best Picture, chronicles the french city of Dr. Cyrian's home during the end of World War II, which was shrouded in the nazi final massacre. To protect his wife Clara and daughter, Cyrian sent them to the countryside. A few days later, when he took the time to visit his wife and children in the countryside, he found that the German army had slaughtered the village and his daughters and wives had been killed. Grief-stricken, he found the long-sealed ancestral gun and launched a one-man war against the Nazis in Germany. In this film, there is a scene of violence that I will never forget: when Cyrian arrives in the countryside, he sees the people of the village slaughtered in a pool of blood. He stumbled to his old house, where his wife Clara had been charred. The whole process of Clara's scorching life is shown in the camera: she is devastated by the German army and runs outside the house to protect her daughter. But in an instant, the daughter was killed by a bullet, and Clara was forced to the corner of the courtyard. Raging flames burst out of the German flamethrowers. The Germans laughed wildly, because witnessing people being burned to death was one of their perverted pleasures. Clara knew that death was coming, and she was dazed to bear the last fear of her life. The next second, the tongue of flames swept through her, and in an instant, she screamed and became a charred corpse. When I watched this movie, this picture stunned me on the spot. For me, who had never experienced war, I never imagined that the world would be so bloody and murderous. A living person was burned alive in front of me, and everything happened in just a few seconds. When fire becomes the weapon of human beings, it becomes a powerful ghost. In this raging flame there is not only a great fear that human beings cannot express, but also the most unbearable ugliness and evil in the world.
Looking back on it now, this movie can make the viewer feel like it is in the soul, which has a great relationship with the film's performance method. Throughout Dr. Cyrian's revenge plot, the film is interspersed with the happy times spent by the family. His wife Clara is a lively beauty, and the younger daughter is obedient and well-behaved. There are many cheerful scenes of a family riding a bicycle on the highway in the movie. Wife Clara often cooks wonderful dishes, and the taste of warmth and happiness is scattered and flowing. On the eve of their wife's breakup with Cyrian and going to the countryside, they also planned to make another trip and have another child after the war was over. All the beautiful visions and warm pictures are in super contrast with the bloody cruelty in front of you. I vividly remember that Silion smashed the idols of Jesus and angels in the country church. His anger and sorrow had been buried in his heart. He took out the double-barreled shotgun that his grandfather had killed the black bear and began a man's journey of revenge. Such a unique perspective of war film does not use a huge and magnificent epic picture, but only interprets the ruthlessness of war from the abrupt change of an ordinary family from perfection to brokenness. Such an angle, on the contrary, allows the viewer as an ordinary person to be more shocked by the direct relationship between war and the individual. Thinking back to the two films I remember most are linked to the cold words "disease" and "war", I am a little nervous and depressed. Fortunately, most of the galaxy I remember is still full of beautiful constellations such as "love" and "happiness". Until today, after reading the materials because of this article, I learned that the heroine of "Princess Sisi" and the actress of "Old Gun" played by Cyrion's wife were the same person. This beautiful Austrian actress Romei. Schneider died of a heart attack at the age of 43, which is sad, but a series of images such as Princess Sisi she has created have already won the hearts of the world. The classic love of princes and princesses has always been a spiritual medicine to soothe all mankind. Among the well-known films, I love two films, One is "Princess Sissi" and the other is Audrey Hepburn's "Roman Holiday". Romey. Schneider's "Princess Sisi" is almost a household name in the world, but what impressed me most was one of the dialogues. While fishing, Princess Sissi met the young Emperor Franz, and they had a good conversation and agreed to go hunting in the forest at five o'clock in the afternoon. In the evening, they met in the forest. Sissy asks Franz if he likes the woods, and Franz says he likes it, but he rarely comes when he is busy with business. Sissy said to Franz, "When you feel troubled and sorrowful, come to this woods." You can see in every flower, every piece of grass, every living being that God is omnipresent, and you will find comfort and strength. These words deeply touched the handsome Franz, and also touched the hearts of every observer. Sissi's kindness and her love of nature and uninhibited nature became the eternal interpretation of "princess" in my heart.
The plot continues to flow, and Franz likes Sissi, but he does not know the true identity of the princess in front of him, thinking that it is impossible to marry her. At this moment, when he thought about the country and his duties as an emperor, his heart was full of contradictions. He said to Sissi, "If only my fiancée could be like you, with eyes, lips, and hair like you, and how beautiful it would be to be like you." At that moment, Sissi in the camera shines with beautiful eyes, and her chestnut hair is flowing in the sun. That beauty makes the whole world hope that this beautiful couple will eventually become a family. The classic dialogue of "Princess Sissi" has touched my young heart many years ago and planted the seeds of love in it. These dialogues are full of deep magic and will be unforgettable. I often wonder, what is the meaning of movies in life? Looking at the constellations in those memories, I seem to have found a warm answer: most of us live a simple and simple life, and we may not experience war or disaster in our lives. As a result, the real world often lacks rich colors. But we hate the numb life, the boring years. We have to cry and laugh, we have to laugh, we have to laugh, and our lives need to be touched. If ordinary life does not give us this, we will write and direct a world of ourselves, creating our own happiness and passion. Thus, the film was born. Movies come from life and are constantly reinvented in life. It can make us happy, make us miserable, and let our joys and sorrows have a landed harbor. We can realize impossible dreams in movies, and we can get countless life experiences from them, and all of this will eventually become a part of our lives. When we look up at the sky, see the vastness of the galaxy, when we pursue our dreams and the meaning of life, let us rush to one movie after another, looking for a more fascinating and brilliant world in the alternating light and shadow.
