Film Review

"Old Things in the South" uses two songs from the 1920s as the interlude. "The Sparrow and the Child" appeared at the beginning of Yingzi's schooling. The questions and answers sung by the child and the little sparrow in the song show the eager scene of the sparrow and its "mother" returning from foraging. In the film, it highlights the innocence and innocence of the children. Evil mind.

The content and mood of "The Farewell" are intertwined with deep and complex psychological activities, and are in contrast to "The Sparrow and the Child". It plays a decisive role in the development of the plot and character of the film. Help, support the scene and convey affection.
