recently watched some different types of movies, and found that the movies that are more appetizing are not commercial blockbusters that seek visual stimulation and have a strong ups and downs plot, but are ordinary life literary movies. I wrote " Tokyo Story " before. Like "Tokyo Monogatari", slow-paced movies many people will be hypnotized at the beginning, but they are actually the most memorable images that are closest to the essence of life, but young people who have no life experience may not understand it. .
Ozu Yasujiro "Tokyo Story"
Recently I watched three literary films (" wangfuchenglong" may not be considered a literary film), 1 Xu Anhua Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai" Hou Xiaoxian's " Winter Holidays" directed by Hou Xiaoxian and "Let's Become a Dragon" starring Stephen Chow. The three movies are a bit similar, they all record the daily lives of ordinary people.

really like this kind of movie It's getting old. Just like the older people are, the less they can eat big fish and meat, and the more nostalgic for the taste of thick tea, light rice, and vegetarian vegetables. When we have experienced half a lifetime and tasted the joys and sorrows of the human world, we suddenly look back and discover that the essence of life is calm like water. We were once vigorous and vigorous, but in the end most people are indeed reduced to ordinary people. Although the life of ordinary people is as plain as water, these days as plain as water are our most true memories.
"Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai" Mother and Child Eating SceneIt's still Lee An 's "Wedding Banquet", or "Tokyo Story", "Day and Night of Tian Shui Wai", "Wang Fu Cheng Long" or other movies. What we often see in movies is eating scenes. The simplest and most trivial things that we are accustomed to and experience every day, such as eating, dressing, sleeping, and even going to the toilet, make up most of our daily scenes. Thinking back, we chased fame and fortune every day and were busy with trivial matters all day long, but neglected to have a good meal with our family and talk with them. Eating well and talking well are actually the most precious things. But life is like this, the most inconspicuous, most easily overlooked things often become the most rare things.

Movies and TV are the use of drama to restore the reality of life. Many times, we all go to movies with the original intention of watching theaters and entertainment. But after we are accustomed to watching the heroic stories of Hollywood blockbusters, the colorful life deliberately rendered, and the contradictions and conflicts deliberately fabricated, we will experience aesthetic fatigue. Comparing our own lives, we will find that there are so many plots and so many strong conflicts. In the end, life is still more peaceful than ripples, just as we will eventually walk into the grave peacefully and peacefully and find our final destination on the earth. Life is just a meal, and movies are essentially a bowl of water. Each of us is our own director, our lives are our movies, and memories are the most authentic movies.
Stills of "Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai"
In "Day and Night in Tian Shui Wai" directed by Anhua Hui, what impressed me the most is the expensive life ( Bao Qijing) and Zhang Jiaan ( Liang Jin) ) A scene of mother and child sitting together for a meal. Basically, every meal has eggs on the table. In fact, people who often cook will know that because eggs are easy to preserve and cooking is more convenient. The main reason is that the price of eggs is cheaper than meat, but the nutrition does not lose meat. Therefore, it is the first choice for our daily life, especially for ordinary citizens. This is a keenness to the details of life.
Tin Shui Wai is located in the Yuen Long District of Hong Kong’s New Territories. It was originally a small village. It was developed by the British Hong Kong Government in the late 1980s into a residential-based new town, but today its 300,000 residents are mostly at the bottom Labor (among them are many new immigrants and mainland brides). Due to the numerous tragedies that have shocked Hong Kong media in Tin Shui Wai, the area is regarded as a "sorrowful town", but most of its residents actually live a life no different from other Hong Kong people. Director Xu Anhua used her unique female perspective to explain to us, delicate and sensual but not boring. Trivial is life! The whole film looks like a documentary, which makes it easy for viewers to substitute in it, and feel that what happens in the film is as if it happened around us, and the characters in the film seem to be around us. I sigh with the talent of Director Xu Anhua. Only those who have read all the things in the world can make a movie like "Day and Night in Tianshuiwei", and only an audience with a certain life experience can taste the taste of this movie. It is very similar to Ozu Yasujiro's "Tokyo Story". Watching "Days and Nights in Tianshuiwei" is like listening to an old woman next to an old tree under the moon, telling you about her past memories in detail, gentle and reserved. Talking but not wordy.
"Holidays in Winter" is like a prose poem, with a beautiful artistic conception. It may be difficult for children now to understand this movie, because they have no nature, no memory of a small town, they live in the city Among the steel monsters, there are only cold electronic toys such as iPads and mobile phones. I don’t know whether the glitz of the metropolis and the development of society are good or bad for the children? I don't know what the educational significance of repeating useless homework every day is for children?
Recently I was reading a novel " severance ". The more you have in your life, the more you lose. Now education is desperately trying to give children more knowledge, but they don’t know that children’s cognition of the world is not only from books and computers, but also from thinking and perceiving in contact with the world. The breeze in the air, the greenery in the fields, the toys of the little friends,The nature of the fields requires us to personally perceive and experience.
How similar the small mountain villages in southern Taiwan are to our childhood memories of our hometown. The generation born in the 1970s who transitioned from the countryside to the city together with their parents, we still have "Dongdong Holidays" in our minds. The memories of the scenes in "In the generation of our children, the sad thing is that they can no longer understand "Dongdong's Holiday", and there is no memory of nature!
"Looking for a husband into a dragon" is directed by Liu Zhenwei , starring Stephen Chow and Wu Junru . It is a love story of a pair of grass-roots childhood sweethearts who are struggling to live in the city.
Although defined as a comedy, this film is the one with the least laughs in Stephen Chow's comedy. The film is very simple and natural, a bit like a domestic TV series "Struggle".
The movie describes the struggle of little people, and there is no shadow of Zhou's nonsensical comedy, but the movie is not inferior to Stephen Chow's other movies, the plot is simple and natural. The audience is especially suitable for young couples who are struggling a lot in the city now. I think it will definitely feel cordial and true.
The three movies are very grounded, there is no exaggeration, no strong visual effects, no intense conflicts, ups and downs of the plot, but it will not be bored at all, let us After viewing, I feel that the most intriguing life is actually the life we are experiencing.
