Although my father is kind, he is stupid. He hopes that Trejo will get married in April. Gu Qing is leaving, Cui Qiao is going to Yan 'an with him, and Gu Qing is at a loss. Cui Qiao's younger brother, Han Han, followed Gu Dage and sent him one journey after another. Over a ridge, Gu Qing saw Cui Qiao standing on the top of the mountain. She sang "Farewell" in a sweet voice. Gu Qing was deeply moved.
In April, Cui Qiao escaped from her husband's family and rowed across the river to pursue a new life on her wedding day. Unfortunately, the swift river swallowed her up. When Gu Qing came to Cui Qiao and Han Han, Han Han was begging for rain by the river with everyone. He tore off the turban made of leaves from his head and ran backward from the crowd to Gu Qing.
Zhang Ailing said that the life of a young person is a lifetime in three to five years, and the life of an old person is only a moment in ten years and eight years. The old man and the young man in the film left a deep impression on me. I was moved by Yellow Earth because of my devotion and the artistic appeal of photography. Among them, I admire the grasp of many details in the film. For example, at the wedding banquet, besides the old fat, there is another kind of meat that is fishy, which is just a kind of "wooden fish", meaning "put it on". This kind of "fish" can't be enjoyed by people's mouths, but can only satisfy people's eyes, because the wood is sawed into the shape of a fish and put on a plate.
Although the film "Yellow Land" tells a story about a young man's passionate pursuit of dreams 80 years ago, the pursuit of dreams is exciting in any historical and geographical background from ancient times to the present. Cui Qiao's role is a dream catcher. This film can neither express anger at "patriarchal society" and "arranged marriage", nor simply criticize the ignorance of the people, let alone belittle the backward ecology on the yellow land, and at the same time praise the revolutionaries.
I just want to tell a story about walking thousands of miles in northern Shaanxi: how the dream was awakened and how it died in a cruel way of life. It is the yellow land that raised you that killed your dream, which is emotionally unacceptable. Warm and barren yellow land! It nurtures you and blesses you; It will also imprison you and kill you. There is a deep sadness of helplessness fatalism: a new life in chains will eventually die of a simple and cruel survival law.
"Survival" is the core of what I want to express. Food is the most important thing for the people, and only the yellow land is the real master. In front of the yellow land, no one can be the master. However, the resilience of people cultivated in this cruel way of life holds a bitter and positive attitude.
Gu Qing, a revolutionary, is an intruder who represents advanced ideas, but he can't go deep into it all the time. At first, he described the beautiful scene of equality between men and women in the south, and laughed at Cui Qiao's foolish behavior of saying that "the grain germinated and it rained early" while offering sacrifices to the gods with millet, which could be interpreted as being forgiven for not understanding the difficulties of the yellow land; However, in the face of this girl who was awakened by herself and determined to fight for freedom, she used the "no-disclosure rule" to prevaricate, so as to avoid the trouble of explaining to Cui Qiao's father and organization, which made people feel that he was weak and at the same time felt that he was just an empty shell wrapped in thoughts and did not want to fundamentally solve Cui Qiao's problems.
Cui Qiao is the focus of this film. She makes people feel happy that their dreams are called, and causes people to think deeply about dream death. "I just want to find the next good son-in-law, who wants to find the next husband who wets the bed" and "I have two big eyes, one bent eyebrow and two bows, and I began to be widowed at fifteen. You say that I feel distressed, but I don't feel distressed ",all of which are sympathy for the misfortune of girls who are representatives of buying and selling marriages from generation to generation."
When Cui Qiao is at home, there is a father and a brother on his head. The dowry she got after marriage will be used as her brother's dowry. She will be bound by the rules of a practitioner all her life and will never be the master. However, when she wanted to follow Gu Qing to Yan 'an as a host, she was rejected by the "official rules". I hate the big black hand that Cui Qiao extended to her on her wedding night! It scares me like I saw the devil.
The father image in the film Yellow Land is rich and complex. The revolutionaries spent the night at Cui Qiao's house. Dad, who can only see the outline, sits in the middle. Cui in red pulls the bellows behind him to boil water, shrinking into a small figure. His younger brother retreated silently to the foot of the wall, which made the audience's eyes sour. He only felt that he was completely dissolved in the air and soil on the loess high slope. Even Gu Qing asked him his name, but he didn't dare to answer.
Children under patriarchy, although secretly hopeful, seem to be sacrifices. Only the spark in the bellows struggled out of a free shape, giving the audience a little comfort. My father knew from the beginning that Gu Qing's "changing the rules" was just a useless prescription prescribed by a kind foreigner, and he was full of curiosity and yearning for "southern girls can read and write". He is not a stubborn feudal defender who takes pleasure in selling his daughter. He abides by the "rules of cultivators" set by the yellow land and advises his eldest daughter not to be too poor and love the rich. "We bear hardships and keep promises".
He loves children, and when he eats millet, he pours the rice to Han Han who is growing up. He was afraid that the revolutionary's incomplete collection of sour songs would be cancelled, so he sang one for him. But he couldn't help it after all. When the revolutionary asked his daughter why she was suffering, he only said one word, "Life!" ".From beginning to end, he was only a slave of the Yellow Land and a follower and executor of a way of life. The scene where he eats and worships the world is particularly bleak. However, he is also a protector and his father is reliable. Under the majesty of the cold yellow land, he is both a father and a mother, plowing the land with both hands and maintaining the survival of the family.
What impressed me most about the movie Yellow Land was photography. When Cui Qiao lost his mind and was gradually submerged in the yellow land, the sadness in his dream was absorbed into the warm yellow land, and he only felt that it was "the mystery of heaven and earth and the vastness of the universe" from then on. Including the scene that was later swallowed up by the turbid Yellow River water, it is also shocking and infectious. The interdependence between people and land in China is so close that we can all feel that we are not standing on the land externally, but should be immersed in it. Maybe when you watch Yellow Land, you will feel like crying. That feeling may not be because of being moved, but because of being heavy.
