The First Parting, The Beginning Of Countless Times

The first film I went to see after the cinema resumed business was the first farewell directed by young director Wang Lina. In such a large and empty cinema, ISA, a Uighur primary school student with good temper a few minutes before the film, feeds the lamb with a bottle, goes to the village granny to buy Nang, and feeds her sick mother to eat The boy is handsome and sensible. If the whole movie goes on like "Abbas", I can accept it. However, when the image and voice of Kelly binour appear on the screen at the same time, I still exclaim from the bottom of my heart: sure enough! The screen needs a goddess. She's two or three years old. She's a little girl with short hair and short hair.

In fact, Kelly binour is just an ordinary little girl who lives in the desert oasis. There are two major crises and challenges in her life. One is that her parents often quarrel and seem to be about to divorce (which was later lifted by the director but actually solved); the other is that she only got 25 points in the exam. The latter became the cause of her separation from Issa. By contrast, Issa's life is much harder. His mother lost her ability to speak because she was bitten by a poisonous spider in the desert when she was a child. At present, she lost her ability to take care of herself because of her illness. Isa loved her mother very much and felt very sad that her father decided to send her mother to the nursing home. Her brother was admitted to university and left his hometown, and his father's health was not good. The family seemed to be on the verge of disintegration.

However, children have different perspectives on the difficulties in life. When Kelly's father sang the love song "lark" written by him to save Kelly's mother's heart in the cotton field, Kelly was extremely happy to feel the love between her parents. With a bit of shyness and curiosity, she scolded her mother: "I was so moved. Why did I leave lark father?" At that moment, you can't help saying that children's understanding and cherishing of emotions are more thorough than adults. When writing to his brother to express his dissatisfaction with his father's sending his mother to the nursing home, ISA said he only hoped that the family could be together, live a good life and eat well. Of course, life is not so simple, but it can not be denied that the most essential truth and needs of life and life are hidden in children's hope.

This is the value of children's films; it is also the value of all films that take reality as the "pursuit". In an interview with a reporter, the director once said: the ideal film is documentary, not the documentary of shooting techniques, but how to truly reconstruct and narrate life, so that the audience can become participants in cognitive life. The pursuit of "authenticity" is the reason why many directors can be famous in film history. In this regard, it is not exaggeration that "the first farewell" was commented as "amazing work, the rising star of China" by Japanese media. No doubt, director Wang Lina, with her years of immersion in books and images, has poured her feelings for her hometown and childhood experience into her first work. The authenticity of "the first parting" is reflected in the description of rural life situation, the capture of rural people's language and manner, and the natural expression and interaction of the three little actors. In the film, the mother's care for his mother is no responsibility, and the performance of caring for his mother is simple and innocent. The two brothers and sisters, who are adored by their parents, are naive, enthusiastic and unscrupulous. Alice thinks that it is nothing to do well in the exam, "examination is luck"; her sister leaves him for school, so that she can only play with me; and the beautiful Kelly binor can follow suit in the desert, in front of the earth breaking house and in the cotton field When dancing with the ground, as if a collection of the spirit of heaven and earth, but also spread around the spirit of the natural spirit.

Of course, the teacher's tearful reading in the classroom is just like the teardrop of our teacher's tearful reading in the classroom, which is like the teardrop of our teacher's life Recalling: the mother dressed up to attend the parents' meeting was embarrassed when she was scolded by the teacher for her daughter's poor performance; after blaming the parents, the teacher then reprimanded the students for "the injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner" These are very similar to our own childhood memories.

This movie moved us with details, and finally returned to details. At the end of the film, in the sadness of Issa who is looking for the lamb alone, a song rings out in the wilderness, singing the moon, the window, the poplar tree, the mother, the sheep For these elements that make up his life, Issa has a sadness of fear of loss. But that's what life is all about, the elements that make up our lives, sometimes in harmony and sometimes in conflict, in which we build our lives.

The first parting is the beginning of countless times.
