Today's introduction is a classic musical masterpiece, the textbook work "Red Violin" in the multi-clue film. Why introduce it? Because in the summer of a certain year, the editor idly searched for high-rated but fewer-seen classic movies, saw "Red Violin", excited to watch, and then I fell asleep at noon, hahaha. (Because it is lunch break, coupled with the low quality of watching movies, bored and fall asleep) But! During the sophomore year, a teacher of our college recommended this movie to us, and then found a film commentary to understand some, it can indeed be called a classic music masterpiece, so today we will see where its classics are?
In China, red represents festivity and auspiciousness. When it comes to red, most of us probably first think of a similar image.
But in this movie, red is another meaning.
For three hundred years, a red violin has wandered in several countries, closely linked to the fate of several people. It was as if there was some kind of spell that made people crazy about the piano.
The maker of the violin is a seventeenth-century Italian instrument master (Carlo Schi carlo cecchi). When his wife and children died, he could not suppress his grief, and smeared his lover's blood on the violin, which was lost to Austria. A little boy practicing the piano was obsessed with the piano until he fell on the stage.
The violin's wanderings never stopped, from tomb robbers, to gypsies, to the composer Pop, who committed suicide, to a music teacher in Shanghai during the Cultural Revolution. During this period, whether the owner understands the true value of the violin or not, it cannot escape its magic. Finally, some discerning experts learned the secret of the violin—its shell stained with the blood and tears of a master three centuries ago.

A blood-red violin infused with souls has been passed down through the centuries and tells five stories that travel through time and space. I like the arrangement of the ending of the film, which indicates that the violin will continue to emit that long-lasting, passionate sound and story in time and space.
Wong Kar-wai once said about the end of a certain movie, I just want to shoot the scene of the street lamp, rather than continue to set the camera on the male and female protagonists, because the street lamp has witnessed countless such pictures. The flow of time on the red violin, this is her charm.
The luthier poured his endless love for his wife into the violin, so that her beauty has not been indelible for three hundred years. Such an instrument has its true meaning only if it is sung in life, and finally the red violin does not become a collection of wealth, and she continues to sing the songs of rebirth in reincarnation. The film is as fluid and rounded as prose poetry, but that doesn't mean the technique can be ignored. The mysteries of the last moment were full of energy.
From the beginning, the violin was the product of infatuation. No matter how outstanding its timbre is, it should not be glorified, it is nothing more than a generation of obsession. In the process of watching the movie, I have always thought of some unrelated things, such as territorial disputes, which is not very similar to the experience of this violin? Everyone thinks it belongs to them, and everyone's year has indeed been, becoming an unsolvable knot.
A throbbing obsession. In the moment of grinding with its ears, it is suddenly played, and there is no external object that can affect your mind. Like the vast gravitational pull that comes from the core of the vast universe, it is injected into the obscure shell to charm the soul with great charm. Open the buds of the virginity of ignorance. The blood that was strongly pulsating was violent and gentle, and it was completely unaware of anything else. The world is empty shell, only you and I are real.
It can have no theme, it is a life of violin wandering, it is about love, it is about music, it is about life. It has no climax, and when it needs to end, it comes to an abrupt end
It is worth mentioning that this violin was introduced to China during the sensitive Cultural Revolution. Through his understanding of the Cultural Revolution, the European director has filmed the history of the Cultural Revolution simply and powerfully, and the repeated perspectives of the auction have been swept away layer by layer, and it is indeed not easy to integrate Chinese elements just right.
☞ (1): A seventeenth-century blood-stained violin poured out the master's endless love for his deceased wife, lingering in the world for three hundred years, 5 cities, 5 tarot cards, 5 completely different fates: 1. Moon reverse: uneasiness and confusion; 2. Hanging people in reverse position: martyrdom and sacrifice; 3. The Devil is in the right place: temptation and depravity; 4. Judgment of reverse position: conflict and reluctance; 5. Death is in place: the end and the new life. Although the film is somewhat ingenious, it is still impressed. Your journey is over
→ (2) The narrative of the film is very innovative. It is clever to use the auction house as a variation of the scene exchange. Let the years pass, the vicissitudes of the world, it
-Red violin, still me. Not to mention the many historical ups and downs. When the strings are played, it is as if they are in another unknown time and space.
▷(3) Recommended by Bi Minghui. Three stories a foreshadowing big main line can be better shot, the rhythm is weird... Given that the quality of the film in 1998 is already amazing, the violin music is all kinds of good! Accidentally found Tao Hong's appearance at that time, Zhang Aijia was really beautiful! The domineering mix of European four languages.]
