The above pictures convey a very quiet feeling, full of peace and tranquility, and make people fascinated. But in fact, in the movie "DreamIng Miracles" where the picture is located, in a corner below the picture, there sits a father full of sadness, full of beard, sloppy clothes, helpless and decadent, under the poetic picture, so that everything becomes no longer a poetic existence, but a chill.
That's the theme of "Dream Miracle," which looks like an inspirational film about a pair of twin brothers' baseball dreams, albeit through ups and downs. But in fact, this is an ethical film, talking about the father and the son, and the love between the brothers, including their conflicts, and the division and union, mutual abandonment, mutual disregard, and deception and betrayal, but the blood relationship eventually binds them together. Under the seemingly diluted, seemingly happy and peaceful atmosphere, the conflict inadvertently overflows, which can't help but make people move.
The wonderful story of the film, first of all, has an inspirational component, two young people, determined to become professional baseball players, but accidentally reduced to become a migrant worker on the construction site, doing the lowest level of manual labor, earning very little money. At the critical moment, there are still differences between brothers, and even fists and feet are facing each other. Moreover, the family relationship is even worse, the father and son do not recognize each other, the father is thrown out of the house because of gambling and alcoholism, and lives on the car in the suburban jungle. When it is bad and cannot be worse, it is the most primitive blood relationship, and there is a strong family bond, which finally makes them go out of their own selves. Among them, the subtle flow of emotions is enough to impress the heart of the viewer.
The story outside this movie is already very touching. Logan and Noah (above), the film's director, lead actor and screenwriter, lived outside the film industry, and since their father died in prison, in honor of their named Daniel Arthur Miller (see picture below), they adapted the movie "Touching Home" based on their own experiences (translated as "Dream Miracle"). And, in order to complete the shooting, as poor people, they swiped 19 credit cards. In order to network, they went to San Francisco to surround the freak Ed Harris in the film industry, and finally impressed him and participated in the film, and played the role of father. With the support of Ed Harris, the film also invited Oscar-nominated actors Brad Dorriff and Robert Foster to join, and they also lived up to expectations, each contributing outstanding performances in the film.
However, it seems that not many people follow this film. It is time to go online, because there are no more than 10 people who score it, and the average score cannot be displayed. Even if it's a picture, I just uploaded a few. This film, I have always been fond of Ed Harris, so I downloaded it after I met it, and it has always been stored in the computer. Finally, after watching "Flying Against the Light", I remembered it and found it to see. From the experience of the film's creator, "Flying Backlight" has a similar experience with "Dream Miracle", but "Backlight Flight" was lucky to meet Wong Kar-wai and fully supported the shooting, which financially solved the worries of newcomer director Zhang Rongji, while "Dream Miracle" needed two brothers to surround Ed Harris. Fortunately, Ed Harris was a talented debater, and finally did not bury such a good subject. Both films are based on the experience of the creators themselves, and the prototype is directly involved in the film. This practice makes the performance appear more natural, there is no sense of contrivance, and the story is not deliberately sensational, so that all the emotions are hidden behind the story, and you need to have a sense of appreciation when watching the movie, to enter, to feel with your heart, and to better accept the beauty expressed in the movie.
For me, the story of "Flying Against the Light" is a little farther away, and compared with "Dream Miracle", the feeling is a little shallower. And "DreamIng Miracles", which tells about the love of father and son and brotherhood, gave me a great impact. It reminds me of a long time ago, when, more than a decade ago, I was a little kid who didn't do anything more. Born in the countryside, he had two older brothers, as well as a father and mother. Because there can be four men in a family, working in the fields, they have always been very envious of the neighbors.
And the shimoda that I remembered the most was on an autumn evening. When a full moon rises, my father always drives on the family tractor and pulls the farm manure he has accumulated into the field one by one. They are then divided into piles at a distance in the field to facilitate dispersion while ploughing the field. After that, because the naturally formed heaven and earth were not so flat, my father instructed us to bulldoze the high parts of the north with a shovel and a shovel, and then scatter them to the slightly lower-lying places in the south, or load them with tractors and transport them to the house, as a base for materials, and continue to accumulate fertilizer. For me as a child, doing this kind of labor, the feeling at that time was that there was no end, it seemed to be done from the east to the west, and then from the west to the east, because of the Sisyphus who kept pushing the stones up the mountain. So much labor, the real meaning, is just a few bags of crops. That kind of labor made me feel a great disgust for the life of the peasants, and I made up my mind to flee.
Now, although a simple escape has been completed, away from home, it has also cut off the relationship with the soil, the crops, and even the parents and brothers, and even the whole hometown. The two brothers, the eldest traveled to Shanxi, the second has died, and I have wandered away from Beijing, my hometown, only my aging father and mother. Whenever I think of the full moon at that time, there is a kind of pain, and I can never go back. What I once wanted to abandon the most was precisely what I missed the most in my heart. There can no longer be a scene of three brothers working hard at their father's side. Even if I work, now I have almost forgotten, and there is a full moon, which is rarely seen because I have lived in the city for a long time. A sad, whining!
Touch our family, chase dreams, in every night, just, there will be no miracles. Now, it is late at night, and I go to sleep, hoping, dreaming of childhood reunion.
