Taiwan movie " Nian Nian " is suitable for weekend afternoons.
The film tells the story of a family of four who runs a noodle shop on Green Island, Yumei ( Luo Shi Liang ), Yu Nan (Ke Yulun), Dad and Mom ( Li Xinjie ).
Educating beauty and painting, raising men likes paper cutting, mother hopes that the children will do what they like, she wants to cultivate the brother and sister well, but her father doesn't understand, and even thinks that the mother looks down on her, so the couple quarrels because of this.
Mother and the old customer of the noodle shop, a talented middle-aged writer secretly fell in love with her.
One day, the pregnant mother took her daughter Yumei and left Green Island. She planned to go to Taiwan to start a new life. On the bumpy boat, Yumei was not as looking forward to it as her mother. She wanted to go home, and her mother comforted her and could do a lot of things in the future...
But not long after the mother and daughter arrived in Taiwan, and the new life had not yet begun, her mother died of difficult labor. The father was unwilling to forgive the departure of the mother and daughter, so Yumei had to live alone.
Many years have passed, and Yumei has grown up and made a living by selling paintings. A Xiang ( Zhang Xiaoquan ) who lacks family warmth and is pregnant before marriage.
Yumei has been blaming her mother for not taking her out for many years, but now she may have to repeat her mother's fate. Yumei stands at the intersection of life in confusion.
A Xiang's father is an seaman . He encountered a shipwreck when he was very young and did not accompany him to grow up. Therefore, A Xiang kept blaming his father in his heart.
Children men became a tour guide when they grew up. Their polite and gentle personality was liked by people around them, but he had no social interactions and just ate and ran alone every day. He often took the group back to Green Island because of his work. Whenever he went back, he would recall that his mother gave up on her only when she took her sister away, which became a knot in his heart.
movie tells the story and knot of each character through recollection and fantasy, expressing a kind of inability to let go, but only to never forget it.
movies use the rolling and impact of the waves to release emotions.
A scene that runs through the whole life, the brother and sister are at the beach, holding small fish in their hands to release them. The mother and the brother and sister talked, and she said that the little fish would return to the sea and the angel would take the little fish home.
A Xiang was fishing by the beach, and imagined the scene of meeting his father in his mind. Whenever his father caught a small fish, he would release animals. He practiced boxing since he was a child. The whole world only practiced boxing. Every day, he thought about being able to tell his father the moves he learned, but he never had a chance again.
In the play, the suppressed knots of the heart turn into thoughts in the mind. They can only be released slowly and resolved slowly by relying on their own beliefs.
borrows the reading from the movie, "How big is the island? I can ride an bike and for three hours, but Ah-man and a girl have never taken it once, because they can't help but stop on the way. Without paint or brush, they have drawn the most beautiful pictures."
Maybe this is what the movie wants to tell us. Life may not be completed in one go, and I am forced to stop in the middle, but if you look at it from another angle, those are "scenery"; life often does not have "paint" and "brush", but we can definitely draw the most beautiful pictures. Although the story of this video is a bit depressing, the mood inexplicably soothes after watching it. This is a highlight of the film.
In addition, the performance of the starring actor of this film is remarkable. To put it more, her other film " Isabella " has the same theme and its performance is also excellent. Both films can be accurately grasped, which has something to do with her background.
The story is consistent with the temperament and background of the starring actor, and the pictures in the film are all from the hands of another starring actor, mother (Li Xinjie). The
video has really made a good fit in every aspect.
In addition, the filming location of the movie is Taiwan Green Island, which is named after its abundant vegetation, and is also commonly known as the Fire Island. The first time I heard "Green Island" was because of the song "Green Island Serenade" by Teresa Teng . I checked some information about Green Island. The island is 20 kilometers a week. Currently, 4,000 people live on the island, most of whom operate homestays, and catering.
There are a lot of scenery of Green Island in the video. Friends who have never been to Green Island can enjoy the video as a different scenery film, which is also a good choice.
