A Story About Father And Son
To every son,father plays an important role in his life. To every father,son is his hope and imagine. When the father lost his own dream of drawing,he placed the unfinished dream to his son,with the faith that it's good for the son.However,the son didn't understand the father's doing.He was prevented from playing with his young fellow,and since then,it's hard to drop the hateness to the force from his father.
The huge changes of the China society is clearly expressed throughout the movie.Every Chinese family was developing contemporarily.The father and the son were growing up as well.But the relationship between the father and his son,is still complicated.The love is always companioned with pain.Maybe everybody has a similar experience with this.
It is said that the inspiration of the movie at first come from a letter from the director's father.The letter used to make the director and all the crew cry.Watching the movie,I could appreciate the sincere heart of the director,especially during the portray of the childhood.
The movie was both opened and ended with sunflowers,which,I think ,may mean the forever beautiful bless from the father to his son,his blood-linked imagine.The feeling of watching the movie,is just like that of browsing old pictures in a family album. Those memories are sweet as well as sad.When everybody understand each other,the parents' hair has become white,and the old architecture has been broken up.
Groundhog Day (1993)
Why so late I found you,such a good movie!
None of other films have touched me like this,by its comedy,as well as its philosophy at the same time.It is not just a film that only left you nothing but some echo laughters.Watching it,you can find many things that call for much deep consideration.What is the sense or aim of life?What will you do if everything you do today is "formated" tomorrow?Of course,everything!You can do everything,without caring about the results!Thus,it is not a bad thing that tomorrow is automatically like today.Try this,try that,and experience every thing you haven't dare to do,such as death.However,all the time,the terrible "loop" can not be bounced out of.One day when you have tried any possibility to satisfy yourself,what will you do next?Just like in real life,the progress of finding the answer is somewhat painful.
Black humor usually brings laughters mixed with unexpected shock,pain,or even tears.But this film didn't do so.It was not pointed to the "evil of human being's nature"or something like that.Finally,it was love that helped and saved the protagonist.More exactly,it was the progress he found,pursuit,and give love.Is it a bit conventional?In fact,the way of getting real love is not as smooth as imagined.The more considerate the man made the dating,the more the women believed it was a track.After all,it's not an easy thing to make a women fall in love completely with a man who used to be arrogant,dismal,and self-central.Fortunately,the man could take the advantages of repetitious Groudhog Day to make himself more perfect.Meanwhile he found the neglected beauty and passion in life,begun to learn how to satisfy others instead of himself,and changed totally into a another person,though the circumstance was all the same in the morning.When the women really fell for the really cute man,he went through the Groundhog Day eventually.
It is a film with multiple elements,such as romanticism,comedy,imagination,or philosophy.The story was described so well and the pace of the film was controlled so appropriately,that I even can't believe that it was shot so early.
