As of now, China's most famous films are generally about Chinese rural scenes, such as "Red Sorghum", "Alive", "No One Less" and so on. "Red Sorghum" also won some good awards. On the contrary, it is difficult for some films with other themes to win awards.
Then I will recommend a few country-style films that I have seen that are worth watching.
One: "Alive"
The film "Alive" is a very valuable film shot by director Zhang Yimou. A remake of the representative work "To Live" by the serious Chinese writer Yu Hua, it tells the story of Fugui's bumpy life and fate. In the context of the great era, personal knowledge is just a matter of survival. Fugui's ability to accept the changes is demonstrated in this film. Incisively and vividly.
Fugui is the son of a landlord family, but because Fugui has been living in a landlord's family with affluent living conditions since he was a child, he spends money lavishly and doesn't care at all. He is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but he is lucky It was he who married Jiazhen at this time, and perhaps this had squandered all the luck in Fugui's life. He eventually gambled away all his money and began Fugui's rough life.
Fugui's parents died one after another, and he was captured as a young man to fight in the war. Later, he returned to his hometown by luck, and his daughter became mute again. He thought he had finally begun a peaceful life, but the good times did not last long and his son died again. , and then all the relatives around him died one by one. The story can hardly go on at this point, but Fugui is still sad while living tenaciously.
At the end of the story, Fugui raised a cow and named it Fugui, and the two of them continued to farm in the fields. The plain language of this work reveals great tenacity, which gives people a sense of comfort.
Two: "Bullfighting"
"Bullfighting" was filmed by director Guan Hu, starring Huang Bo and Yan Ni***. The film mainly tells the story of Huang Bo during the Anti-Japanese War It plays the story of a cow raised by a farmer for the Eighth Route Army, and evokes the cruelty and bloody nature of the Anti-Japanese War.
At that time, cows were very precious, so when Huang Bo was raising cows for the Eighth Route Army, many refugees or Japanese soldiers came to snatch the cows. At the beginning of the film, everyone in Huang Bo's village was massacred by the Japanese, which gave the film a somewhat sad atmosphere.
Jiu'er, played by Yan Ni, is a widow. She originally had the opportunity to live with Huang Bo, but how could the cruel war give these little people any chance of survival? The fierce and wild Jiu'er The son was brutally killed in the village.
The farmer played by Huang Bo finally raised the cow on a mountain and was waiting for the Eighth Route Army to come so that he could return the cow to the Eighth Route Army. At this time, Huang Bo looked like a savage with a disheveled head and a beggar-like face. He couldn't speak properly. He just smiled stupidly, but invisibly gave people a strong oppression. I couldn't help but shed tears when I watched it.
