This Spring Festival, Aunt Wen, as always, has no travel plans.
Didn't like the feeling of being on the road for seven days off five days.
Today's long holiday is nearing its end, and there is no time to squander it. You've definitely seen a lot of good movies that don't look good.
This year, we changed our appetite and recommended a few old films to readers and friends that will never block their hearts.
1: "Five Daughters Worship Shou", China (1984)
This is a 1982 Vietnamese opera film.
In the big family of opera, Yue opera is a small flower-like existence-
The tune is particularly beautiful and the actors are particularly good-looking.
This film won the Golden Rooster Award for "Best Drama Film".
Yes, there was also this award that year.
Today, when most audiences no longer know what opera is, its status can still not be underestimated.
In Douban, there is a high score of 8.8.
The story is quite traditional, meaning that people cannot be snobbish.
Today, it makes equal sense.
At that time, the production of opera films was really exquisite.
Not only is the plot twisty and turning, it is fascinating.
The performance of the actors is remarkable.
Sing to the sad place, on and off the screen, tears ripple.
There are two actresses who are still active in show business.
One is He Saifei, the actor of Qiu Cuiyun.
If the girl surprises you in "The Gate of the Big House", then in this film, she is a fresh and dazzling flower bone.
There is also Tao Huimin, the actor of Wu Feng.
Another beautiful woman who fell into the city.
In Aunt Wen's heart, the internal and external cultivation of "Five Daughters Worship Shou" is no less than the more famous "Flowers as a Medium" and "Female Attached Horses".
2: Gone with the Wind, USA (1939)
It is one of the few films that can present the original to perfection.
It can even be said that it is a rare film and television work that surpasses the original work.
The film scene is huge and costly, which is a sign that Hollywood has entered the "era of grand production".
The success of the casting more directly determines the success of the film.
Vivien Leigh is Scarlett, and Clark Gable is Brad.
There is no one in the world who can find such a soul-destroying couple.
With the current financial resources and technology, the scene can be more beautiful.
But you will never find a substitute for the protagonist.
So no one has ever considered such a stupid thing as a remake.
Released in 1940, the film swept 8 Oscars.
It ranks fourth in the American Film Association's 100 Greatest Films of the 20th Century.
Because of the suspicion of beautifying slavery, the film has also received a lot of criticism.
However, at such a happy moment as the Spring Festival, we can first put away our critical eyes.
Admire only its romantic beauty.
History will not be satisfactory, but the classics will be eternal.
3: War and Peace, Soviet Union (1966)
What I want to introduce is the Soviet version from 1966.
Not because this version of Douban has the highest score.
Nor is it because the original author was the great Russian writer Tolstoy.
Rather, it expresses the value of this world masterpiece to the highest extent in the form of images.
The scale is so large, the image is vast, and there is no one before and after.
Because of the peculiarities of state power, the Soviet Union could use the strength of the whole country to make a movie -
It cost $560 million, the highest in film history;
With 125,000 well-equipped actors and 35,000 warhorses, guinness set a Guinness world record.
In short, the centaur specification is equivalent to a large-scale real battle.
In addition, 1282 cannons were used.
And, copied a Moscow.
Then, according to the needs of the shooting, a fire is burned.
After its release, the film not only swept the world at the box office, but also won an Oscar.
Of course, its success is not only because of the trenches, but also because of the literary drama.
The actors are beautiful, the scenes are gorgeous, the characters are abundant, and the details are flawless.
Emotional expression is warm and true, and no child should not be inappropriate.
Most importantly, you can get away from your phone and enjoy family fun in six and a half hours.
4: Princess Sisi, Austria (1955)
"Princess Sissi" is an earlier foreign film introduced in China.
The three-part film series is one of the most successful and high-grossing German-language films in film history.
It doesn't have any deep meaning to explore.
It will only make you feel the endless splendor and endless beauty.
At that time, the endless prosperity of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the theme of the film's intentional portrayal.
From costumes and scenes to music and dance, everything is exquisite and exquisite.
The love between the male and female protagonists is more like a fairy tale than a fairy tale.
The male protagonist, Carl Heinz Böhm, is young, handsome and personable.
After this role, it was regarded as the "eternal Austrian Emperor".
The heroine, Romey Schneider, is lively and cute, like a fairy.
In particular, her smile, as bright as the Bavarian sun, can drive away all haze.
And the style of the whole movie, even the most sad moments, echoes with the brightness of her smile.
It is said that The reason why Romey Schneider, who was only 16 years old at the time, was chosen to play was because she was very much like Princess Sissi herself.
And the real Princess Sisi, in fact, is more than enough.
Her beauty was famous at the time.
All who had seen her true face, both nobles and commoners, thought that her beauty was difficult to describe.
Although the story of Princess Sisi ended in tragedy, the legend and the classic have been frozen ever since.
5: Lawrence of Arabia, UK/USA (1962)
The film swept seven awards at the 35th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
In 2004, the British film magazine TOTAL FILM selected "50 Greatest Epic Films", which topped the list.
The film is based on the epic memoir of British military writer Thomas Edward Lawrence, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
Yes, this is the author's real experience.
Lawrence's own deeds have been hailed as "a miracle in British military history"
Even Churchill praised him as one of the greatest men living in our time.
The film adopts a combination of virtual and real - the overall reality, the details are fictional.
The desert scenery is magnificent; the war scenes are thrilling; and the story development is full of ups and downs.
A truly blockbuster.
A romantic lament of sincerity and greatness.
The story tells that after the outbreak of World War I, The Ottoman Turkey, the German ally, took the opportunity to invade the Arabian Peninsula.
The British military sent Lawrence, an army intelligence officer, to contact the Arab ministries.
In the desert, he became the hero who saved The Arabs.
The ending, however, is the end of the hero, and even becomes a giant deception.
It seems most appropriate to tell a legend in a movie.
But if you have the patience to understand, you will find that —
The story of Lawrence himself is more legendary than legendary.
5: Caravan, India (1971)
Do you think Indian cinema has only been great in recent years?
In fact, it has always been very powerful.
When the film was introduced to China in the early 1980s, it was all the rage.
Here are the best songs and dances in Bollywood;
There are the most beautiful male and female protagonists in India;
There is a plot that is not brain-burning but always makes people boil;
There are also details that make you laugh uncontrollably.
All in all, it's a pure entertainment film.
For movies, it is actually easier to talk about meaning;
Real entertainment, but the hardest.
First of all, the plot cannot be too complicated, nor can it be without selling points.
The story of this film is simple:
After her father was killed, the rich woman Sunita hid in a caravan of gypsies to escape.
So he met the young man Mohan and took revenge with his help.
This simple story is full of laughs:
For example, a drunkard counts his feet.
For example, the heroine burned the food but secretly exchanged with the fat lady...
And of course there must be affection.
For example, the gypsy girl Nisha's love for Mohan.
Nisha finally sacrificed herself for love, and the amorous and unrelenting "little pepper" made many people cry!
7: The Seven Samurai (1954)
Japan's Sengoku period is the most storied era in Japanese history.
In this era, there was the largest and most famous tyrant in Japanese history:
Takeda Shingen, who loves Chinese martial arts, Oda Nobunaga, a rare beautiful man in the world, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a hero of grass, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who enjoys the world's big cakes.
There are also the most legendary and saddest women in Japanese history:
Aichi, the first beautiful woman of the Sengoku period, who was burned in flames, Chihime Tokugawa, the eldest daughter of a shogun who married at the age of seven, and a civilian woman who cast bullets and made up the heads of dead people in the midst of artillery fire.
This legendary era is the background of "Seven Samurai".
The difference is that it is a small story in a big historical context.
The story takes place in a small mountain village.
Threatened by mountain thieves, the villagers invited seven samurai to protect the autumn harvest.
The reward is three meals of white rice a day.
At that time, the samurai were of higher status, and the peasants had always been the fish on their boards.
Therefore, even if you become a ronin, you will not take this kind of work into account.
It can even be beaten up as a humiliation.
But there is an exception for the samurai.
Out of the fading spirit of Bushido, they were willing to help poor peasants.
At this time, the weaknesses of various human natures were exposed.
The peasants have become extremely cunning guys, seeking profit and avoiding harm to the point of no return.
The transformation of weakness and ferocity, only in an instant.
Who turned the farmer into this?
It's a samurai.
And the once invincible samurai with swords became vulnerable in the face of muskets.
Even if you protect it with your life, it will not be remembered.
Their future is that there is no future.
Who caused their tragedy?
It's the times.
The reflections this film brings to people can make you understand:
We live in a time when it is calm and beautiful.
I wish you all readers, enjoy the quiet and auspicious Year of the Dog!
