Directed by the well-known Tibetan director Song Taijia and starring Rong Zhongerjia, Nyima Song song and Sai Choga, the movie "Ara Ginger Color" was released in China. Although there are not many films at present, it is still a masterpiece worth watching.
"Arajan" is a transliteration of actually Derived from the Tibetan language, referring to a Tibetan folk song meaning "Please make this fine glass of wine."
The film it is named after, Arajan, tells a story of love and morality, faith and responsibility. The heroine of the film hides the secret between her illness and her ex-husband and decides to go to Lhasa. During the long journey, some of her secrets were made public as her illness worsened. After eventually dying of illness, her second husband continued the journey to Lhasa with her son to fulfill a promise and reach some sort of reconciliation.
After watching the movie, if you can sum it up in one sentence, it is: a film about "reconciliation" that is simple in texture and restrained in emotion, but very moving.
Director Matsuta's relatively restrained expression technique depicts the kindness and perseverance shown by the test of life encountered by a Tibetan man into a simple picture, which makes the audience harvest emotion and warmth.
For the promise of his wife, for the yearning of his stepson, for the wishes in his heart, after experiencing the polishing of life again and again, the male protagonist played by Rong Zhong'erjia resolutely embarked on the road to continue to Lhasa.
Despite the grief, hesitation, and abandonment in his heart, he still chose to fulfill his promise, so that the whole character flashed like a dazzling light like a plateau snowy mountain.
The film has the daily life of Tibetans, the expression of faith, and the calm outline of the emotional relationship between people.
Tears that dripped from his hands and melted with blood, sudden cries as he leaned against the wall wet, the little donkey that followed the little boy, the re-pasted photos, and the little boy climbing to the top of the mountain to see the Potala Palace in Lhasa, the details of this scene are all moving moments in the film.
The most surprising thing is the lead actor Rong Zhongerjia, if it were not for his appearance on the scene during the post-screening exchange, I would not have seen that it was him! As a famous singer, Rong Zhong'erjia has many works with a high degree of singing.
In my personal memory, there are his "Magical Jiuzhai" and "Plateau Red", and I can still sing a few words.
Starring in "Ala Ginger Color", it is Rong Zhong'erjia's first time acting in a movie. Although he has repeatedly modestly said that he is not as good as the donkey, he on the screen gives people the feeling of a good actor with a delicate grasp of performance.
The role of the male protagonist he created is extremely textured and can arouse the empathy of the audience (especially the anxious middle-aged male audience).
"Arajan Color" has won the "Jury Award" and "Best Screenplay Award" of the 21st Shanghai International Film Festival, but its schedule is not high, and for most audiences, it also needs a certain amount of patience to watch and experience. But I still recommend that you go to see it and take a good look at the husband and wife love and father-son relationship in the film.
