"Kim Ji-young, Born in 1982" poster

Recommendation:

"Kim Ji-young, Born in 1982" is a movie that impressed me very much. It is adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous Korean female writer Cho Nam-joo. This film tells the story of the many shackles that a seemingly happy woman carries. A woman has multiple identities as she grows up, such as a well-behaved daughter, a docile wife, and an all-powerful mother. However, she neglects that besides these identities, there is another most important identity - herself! This movie raises a profound social topic for us to think about. Kim Ji-young’s story is not an isolated case but something that many women may experience. As the book's introduction says, "How many invisible ups and downs does a girl have to go through before she can stumble into adulthood?" The Beijing Film Festival has set up the "Female Voices" unit this year, and the film selection is excellent. "Kim Ji Young Born in 1982" is listed among them. If you have the opportunity, you can go to the big screen to watch this excellent movie. I hope all girls can be treated gently by the years!

This is a cruel and romantic movie. I watched this movie during the epidemic, and I have a special feeling during this special period: It is difficult to be an enemy of life, and it is even harder to reconcile with life. From Miyamoto to everyone, life is worth beating and warming.

The Korean film industry has faithfully studied Hollywood genre films for nearly thirty years, and finally carved out a world of its own. Another example is Indian films."Memories of Murder" can be said to be a god-like work. The film has exquisite texture. Both in terms of narrative and performance, it surpasses "Parasite".

Poster of "The Silent Film Narrator"

Recommended words:

If it weren't for this recommendation column, I wouldn't have had the chance to watch this Japanese movie. The film tells in a relaxed way a professional group that has almost disappeared now - the silent film commentator. The emotions and attitudes of him and the people around him tell us that the people and things of that era are long gone. But the beauty of the movie is that it can take us back to those beautiful memories and meet them at that time. After watching this movie, I really want to eat milk candies.

Recommended words:

Personally speaking, I may have the opportunity to make another movie in the future, but "Auspicious Ruyi" will always be the most different. Its narrative structure and image style will be very interesting to the audience. For my friends, it is also a special experience and challenge. This film was filmed at the China Film Archive. When it is screened at the Beijing Film Festival at the China Film Archive, the audience will enter this story at a certain moment and feel the most special "magic" that only belongs to this movie. time".

Recommended words:

html The 185-year-old Woody Allen is still unswervingly ironic Film Circle. Always talkative and always interesting, since he changed the starring roles in his movies from himself to young men and women, his movies have become even more "pleasing to watch". I have watched a lot of heavy films at film festivals, so a film like this that is light-hearted and has some insights into life is a good choice.

"Persian Lesson" poster

Recommended words:

Against the background of cruel war and massacre, the story of the miracle created by the will to survive is jaw-dropping, and the seriousness full of absurdity is laughable. The sense of humor and crisis alternately rub the audience's nerves, and the two echo each other to infinitely amplify the tension and suspense.

"Portrait of a Lady on Fire" poster

Recommendation:

I highly recommend "Portrait of a Lady on Fire". This movie is special. The story takes place on an island. A rare film that truly and completely talks about female love. The filming is also very delicate, capturing the feeling of love: how two people fall in love with each other.One thing that can be compared with "Call Me by Your Name" is that it is also a forbidden love, and women must marry as wives. This is a problem of image and construction, which is rare in this type of film. It balances emotion and lust very well, and the composition is very beautiful. This was a very outstanding work last year.

"Apocalypse Now" poster

Recommended words:

I heard that there is an unspoken rule in Hollywood: if a director's work has the record of being the top box office champion in the United States for three weeks , the director can have an opportunity to create freely and "do whatever he wants" without interference. After the great director Francis Ford Coppola achieved unprecedented artistic and box office success with "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Sequel ", he got the opportunity to complete a film with a production cost of US$31.5 million (1979) that profoundly exposed the impact of war on human nature. A work of destruction. In the film, the footage of the army boarding helicopters and conducting aerial maneuvers was ingeniously matched by the director with the soundtrack of Wagner's opera "Ride of the Valkyries", which showed the majestic momentum of the military operation, but also set off the war on the screen. The cruel and bloody scene has become an unforgettable classic in the history of film.

"Forrest Gump" is my favorite movie, not only because this movie is well shot, but also Because of Forrest Gump's spirit, his unwillingness to admit defeat, persistence, bravery, and fearlessness, and his feelings for his family, friends, and brothers, I was very moved.

Excellent subject matter, excellent settings, incisive shooting Techniques and special effects, the "Matrix" series will always be a science fiction masterpiece in the hearts of movie fans. I can still remember how I reminisced about this series of movies over and over again. Although it is a commercial science fiction film, it contains extremely rich philosophy and brings a double impact to people's vision and soul. Even if I watch it again today, it still won't feel outdated. I must go to the theater this time during the Beijing Film Festival to watch every classic in this series again.

"War and Peace" poster

Recommendation:

This film is not only the greatest literary work in history, but also the most expensive and greatest war movie in the history of film. It shows the most complex emotions among human beings and the most extreme image spectacle that could be presented at that time. Especially under the national system of the former Soviet Union, the investment in war scenes was basically unprecedented. After all, in the history of movies, there will never be such a war scene without digital special effects and with hundreds of thousands of real extras. . This also shows how great the director Sergei Bondarchuk is who made such arrangements. He is the real commander-in-chief.

Recommended words:

Director Chen Zheyi's new feature film did not disappoint. With solid foundation and thoughtful plot foreshadowing, the director uses the most sincere attitude to explore various problems of people we meet in real life. It tells the story of a woman's mid-life crisis. Many scenes are very life-like but extremely dramatic. During the movie viewing process, people feel like being pulled into the screen and feel the lives of the people in the movie. The delicate plot is also full of power, as if to say that the tropical rain will eventually clear up.

Recommendation:

As the opening film of this year's Beijing International Film Festival, "Spring River Plumbing" is worth looking forward to.The film is set on the banks of the Fuchun River in Hangzhou, and tells the story of the ups and downs of human relationships experienced by an ordinary three-generation family in their daily lives. This film is director Gu Xiaogang's debut, but it is full of stunning features. It not only has a broad, solemn tenderness and narrative structure, but also a vivid cinematic expression of the charm of traditional Chinese landscape paintings. Every frame is so beautiful that you will be fascinated by it, and every paragraph The plots are touching. This is the power of Chinese-language films and the unique charm of our Chinese films. I hope more and more such good works will appear on the screen.

"Broken Wind" poster

Recommended words:

This is a good inspirational film. As a sports enthusiast, exercise is an inevitable activity for me every day. My palms kept sweating while watching "Breaking Wind", and I felt the endless charm of sports. I admire actors like Peng Yuyan for their persistent and hard training for their roles. Everyone will face the ups and downs of life, and will encounter setbacks and difficulties. As long as you don't give up, you will always have the opportunity to fight, grow, and gain your dreams. While watching the movie, you can feel the hardships of the director, cinematographer, and all staff, in addition to the actors, because it is very difficult to achieve a realistic feel in a sports-themed movie like this. Director Lam Chiu-hsien has never disappointed me, and I know that from the time I participated in his first movie "G4 Agents".
