Children of heaven

The movie’s plot is very simple. The boy Ali lost his sister Zahra’s shoes when he helps her to mend the shoes. In order not to be punished by their parent, they decide that alternately to wear a pair of shoes to go to school. Simultaneity, Ail promises to buy a new pair of shoes for Zahra.

Ali would expect with his father works in the town and earning money to help Zahra buy a new pair of shoes, but the father’s unexpected injury broken his dream. Just at that time, school was selecting runners for the long-distance race. The third winner will reward a pair of sneakers. In race, Ali constantly reminds himself that he must to be the third winner. Ail done as better as possible and finally Ali got champion, it seems like a matter of pride, however Ali was crying sadly because all he wants is the shoes. The film last father finally bought two shoes for the children. The upshot makes me more heartache than glad.

Ali is running for a pair of shoes, is running for a better life. Blame can make he eyes full of tears. But he can be also excited for a new pen, several sweets or compliment, they can be made smile on the way. This is a children’s world, even happiness and sorrow are exquisite and pure. However, the child is doomed to run for lives, even if tired, even if fall, he should never give up. Even though at last the father bought the new shoes for them, but so what? They face with so big poverty that cannot handle. Sometimes people's strength are really too weak, it seems that even have a decent dream is unpractical.

The whole story is about children, but the director gradually showed us a kind of shining humanity. That is a natural gentle emotion. It has nothing to do with ethics and regulations. You may laugh at Ali exhaustedly running for a pair of shoes. But have you ever wholly devoted into a run, for your “lost shoes”?  Will you consider whether it is value to do so or complain about how unfortunate you are? The children don’t. They just hold their faith and run. Clarity and simplicity, maybe that is heaven.

Walk on water

In my view of “walk on water” shows the Jew movie unique charm. Compared to “Yossi & Jagger”, the film “walk on Water” is plump many, as if a period of looking for heart journey, whether national or personal finally will end.

Movie is about a commercial potential story: just experience loss of his wife of pain Eyal receive tasks with Israeli spy guide identity close to a German sibling Axel and Pia, would expect to find relevant their grandfather, from the whereabouts of Nazi war criminals. Three people moved closer, especially in Eyal and Axel, mutual understanding is developing between intermittent dialogue and spat gradually, also know more about themselves. People easily prurient interest between them is like having been like without ambiguity, but in my opinion more clear is their self growing process.

As work for intelligence Eyal is a strong, silent and closed man. He can use his abstruse and blue eyes calmly staring at the crowd, disdain for terrorist attacks, do mission simply and cruel, but never show a word of his inner emotion. His wife's suicide let him reflection on the many years of killing, he can’t open his heart until Axel appear, and finally obeyed the voice of the heart bottom mercy, is no longer to hurt the old Nazi. Meanwhile, his attitude to homosexuality is changing. Whether he is a potential comrade, Eyal the role of growth that it was because he transcends his status localization, retrieve the most pure soul.

Axel young, enthusiasm, has the compassion, as his personality, grandpa's appears instantly challenge his moral bottom line. He had to query his mother. Late into the night, he switched off the oxygen switch, watching the old suffocated die. He made what Eyal ought to do, to him it is soul redemption, but he had not learned the greatest pity.

The movie, successfully molded the two characters, has given them a lot of symbolic meaning. See the movie, just like to watch "Israel" and "gay" two themes constantly colliding, tension is dye-in-the-wood. However, this collision’s results are a merge, transcendence and open-minded, movie ultimately seeks for natural beauty.

Blue

The film Blue is produced, and directed by the acclaimed Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski. Blue is the first in The Three Colors Trilogy, themed on the French Revolutionary ideals; it is followed by White and Red.The blue, white, red, the original trilogy from the French national colors; they were a symbol of liberty, equality and fraternity.

Julie wants to live away from her feelings and memories; however, she could not evade her wound: daughter’s blue lollies, the blue droplight in the bedroom. In Julie’s heart the blue represents a fear.

Julie instinctively seeks consolation and protection, she tried to talk to her mother, but living in resthome as the mother can not save her, can’t even recognize Julie.

What is the ultimate way to gain new hope? Julie has been looking for it a long time. Not her mother or other people, but is the blue and music. Music and Blue play an intricate element of the plot in that it illustrates Julie's efforts to be isolated from everything but cannot do it. A common scene to the film is Julie swims in the blue pool. In the blue water she may find a new way to relieve her pain which link to her cruel past. Water is the starting point and blue pool as the shelter, giving Julie the big comfort. Now blue is not represents a fear but stand for the information of life. In the final plot, we saw Julie finished with the painful process and saw new hope, however, the theme hopes of life and death, pain and survival is to extend.

摇啊摇 摇到外婆桥

This movie was narrated through the view of a 14-year-old boy who was a country cousin and went to his uncle for shelter. He liked much the same as original young Jinbao who was pure in thought and good at favour.

    However, almost everyone in Shanghai at that time took the present benefit into their first consideration rather than human sensibility. May there existed so-called heavy loyalty but who knows the existence of loyalty whether for the sake of more benefit or not. The same went for young Jinbao , to have a stretch of foothold in Shanghai, was glad to act servilely.

At the first time when they hadn’t been changed by the material world ,their desires were small and their minds were pure. The only hope of the little boy was turn mother’s fowl shop into reality. When young Jinbao was newly arrived ,she also harbored a sincerity and then faced such many men who were covetous of her bark pocket that couldn’t  keep her sincerity at all times. Gradually, she was tired of distinguishing truth from falsehood and choose the fake disposition to live for preventing herself from hurting .

      Subsistence from the clipper seam of the current gangland , everyone could be the anther young Jinbao if she had a unforgettable face and everyone could be the anther Xiaoliuzi if he was koaikhar enough.

      In such a samsara, the most sentimental character was Ajiao actually . Her pathos was being just because of her puerility. It’s not wrong that she liked aunt Jin’s prettily dresses and looked forward to a luxury and dissipation life.

      At the important cross of life , turn left or turn right?

      Turning left, following the plough at home and frolicking in the field. Turning right and owning the charm beneath with humble living. Ajiao lost herself in front of the two choices.

      Unfortunately . Ajiao was the least consciousness with her lot and was obedient to such this arrangement. From now on she droped into abyss and couldn’t get away from vanity any more. A small person had no choice but went on living on the horns of a dilemma .

     Therefore, the another tragedy what young Jinbao had suffered was carried on narrating by poor Ajiao.

Central Station

Central Station is a story talks about a mother-lost boy named Josue who tried to look for his fater, Jesus. Dora is the woman who has a stall in the central station, earning a living by writing letters for people. They are related by a letter Josue's mother Ana send to the father Jesus. Dora accompanied Jesus the whole way to his father's. Eventually Josue reached his brothers', with the leaving of Dora silently in the dawn.
It is said that Josue's journey to find his father is also Dora's journey to examine her own past and regain a sense of authentic self.
The image of father, neither Josue’s nor Dora’s, hasn’t shown though the whole movie. But it seemed that father meant happiness and a power of reliance. Dora lost her father and a kind of belief. Before she met Josue, what she had in her life was only those who paid to have letters and a friend, Ana, who didn’t approve of her. I think, when she accompanied Josue to look for his borther, she also got relived herself. As for Josue, he was different from other lovely boys in the movie. Although he was together with his mother, there was suspicion and disbelief in his eyes. May be these were caused by the society. After his mother’s death, he persisted in looking for his father. Although they all didn’t find their father at last, they found the hope and happiness father presented.
At the end of the movie, both Josue and Dora cried because they had to be apart, and this was life. In the beginning of the movie, floods of people passed though the central station, just like a large number of people passed though our life every day. We have to say goodbye to those people, for we had to continue our life. Like Dora, we shall examine our own past and regain a sense of authentic self.

BOMBAY

The film BOMBAY is an adaptation of the true story. It is about religion, politics，moral and love. The film begins with a man and a Muslim women's romantic love story, but in their village Muslim and Hindu is the prohibition of marriage. The Sheka’s father firmly refuses them to marry, and Barry’s father forced his daughter to marry a Muslim young man. Sheka and Barry，they love each other very much. Finally, they decided elope to Bombay to have they new and free life without family bond.

In Bombay, they have a happy life with a twin son.  After six years the relationship between the two families are also much better, conflicts is subsiding. Everything seems to be better and beautiful future is within easy reach.

However, the great riot between Hindu and Muslim broke out at last; the sheka’s family is confusing by the riot. Bombay plunged into chaos, not only caused regions of tension, but it has also brought the riots and violence. During the riot many people lose home, even died. Sheka and Barry are worried about their family, in particular the twin.

Finally they did not escape the doom, the couple’s house was burned, they lost their children, and even the two parents were killed. Barry is so sad; she doesn't know whether her children are living.

Sheka as a daily newspaper reporter, acted for justice, he wanted people to know that they are a big family. However, an individual's strength is limited, he can’t save the city. The social, political, moral and religion was in chaos. The hospital and refuge was a shambles. As the ending, the family gets together again, but in peoples’ heart violence has been enduring painful memory.

The film is a tragedy, but the love of family gave us hope. Maybe we cannot change the country’s fate, but we all wish to survive, to create our own fate.

Drink Man Woman

       “Eat Drink Man Woman, Eat Drink life” As the film has pointed out, life sometimes like eat drink ,you want to know but you can't ,you want to get but you can’t, the taste of life vary in people.

It is a family story, we feel warm family atmosphere through the film. The actor “father” is a chef, living with three distinct characters daughters. The eldest daughter “zhen” is a Christian, she has an eagerly longing for love and find her finally happiness with a sports teacher. The second daughter “qian”, the sensitive one, Inherited his father's cooking talent and decides to become a chef like her father, but not as she wish, she had to gave up her dream in her father's opposition. The youngest daughter “ning”, who’s still studying at college, has fall in love with her girl friend's boyfriend and has sex for the first time.

 I have to admire director “LIAN” very much after I finished the film. I think he is an ingenious screenwriter and director. He arranged every small role and little detail carefully to make the film rich. For example, in the start of the film, when the Father concentrating his attention on cooking, he received a phone call and told that how to do the steamed fish, but the film did not told us whose is this phone call. In the end of the call the Father said to the other “if we don’t say it today, when will we say it ? ” First I was in a puzzle about this plot, but as I know the ending of the film I understand this is the director's foreshadowing. The phone call is come from “rong” .What a cleverly plot.

   A lot of people say they don’t like the ending of the film, but I think the most bright spot of the film is here. The unexpected ending make a big Surprise when the Father says he will marry “rong”. The Father’s decision may be a bit against ethics, but then, his bravery is admirable, when come to love, I believe ,age is an irrelevant factor.

Seemingly there is full of irreconcilable conflict among the family. Girls can’t understand their father’s life style and want to live outside , away from the father .The father can’t share his lonely with his daughter, mostly he choose to deal with his problems on his own. but sometimes the film also let us feel the love, from the father, also from the daughters. what’s pleasurable about it is watching these affectionate footages. Now I read the title “Eat Drink Man Woman” again, I see the “Eat Drink” is stand for family love, the “Man Woman” is represent for sex.
