Tear-Jerking Director Chapter 906: How will we end up old?
Although Li Yi guessed that "Sister Tao" would be more popular with the foreign judges and audiences at the Venice Film Festival than "The Thief of Years", he did not expect that this film would actually receive so much higher recognition than "The Thief of Years".
evaluation of.
Italian film critic Emilio: "This is the most exciting film I have seen so far at this year's film festival. The language of the film is exquisite and elegant, and the theme reflected is profound, showing the emotions of the two protagonists who are not relatives but relatives. In addition, the film
It shows the life of the elderly and pays attention to the aging problem that is common around the world. "Sister Tao" is a film that has the potential to compete for the Golden Lion Award."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Italian journalist Andrean praised: "This is a very "simple" movie. The tacit understanding and mutual care of the two protagonists are very touching. In real society, the subject of the elderly is often ignored, reflecting the
Life movies are not common, and some movies are too artificial when showing similar themes, but the performances of the two protagonists in "Sister Tao" are real and natural, giving the movie a deep appeal."
The screening review of "Sister Tao": "Although this film focuses on emotion, it is full of the director's taste and observation of life, and full of sly little humor. The film is very simple, but this simplicity is definitely not simple and monotonous.
"Simple" is an artistic charm that does not leak out traces of carving and craftsmanship. If "less is more" is used to describe this movie, then it must be "simple is beautiful."
Compared with "Thieves of Time" which only received a score of less than 3 points, although "Sister Peach" can hardly be called a classic, the score from the off-site media was quite good. With a score of 3.2 points, "Peach Sister"
Although "Sister" is not the favorite to win this year's Venice Film Festival, it is still ranked fourth among all the films in the main competition.
This was Mu Qing's first time to participate in a European film festival with her own film, and she was overjoyed to receive such a review.
It was a blessing for Li Yi for a few days.
However, since I have come to the Venice Film Festival, whether it is Li Yi's "The Thief of Time" or Mu Qing's "Sister Tao", I definitely don't want to leave empty-handed.
However, for the awards in the main competition unit, although a public relations company was hired to do public relations, the intensity was not particularly great.
Mainly it lies in the movie itself.
However, the grand prize is not possible, but other non-main competition units are possible.
The Volpi Cup in the Horizon section has actually become the focus of public relations for the two films.
Although the horizon unit is not the main competition unit, as long as you can win a prize, your trip to Venice will be considered a success.
After all, there are quite a few films competing for the Horizon category.
On the domestic front, the media and film critics quickly sent back relevant reports and comments about "Sister Peach".
""Sister Tao" was praised at the Venice Film Festival. Every subtle look and movement of Sister Tao will remind you of an old man at home: she is rigid, stubborn and even willful, all because she loves you too much. So, even if
Just thinking about her appearance is enough to make you burst into tears." - Penguin Entertainment.
""Sister Peach" was screened at the Venice Film Festival and received good reviews: Sister Peach's lonely life is over, and our lonely life continues, leaving a confused topic, how will we end up growing old?" - "Film Weekly"
""Sister Tao" is adapted from a true story and is bittersweet. Although the two protagonists in the film are not related by blood, they still have sympathy for mother and son. You can feel that this is a heartfelt feeling." - "Huaguo"
Film Report"
Audiences who watched the film at the Venice Film Festival also shared their feelings.
"You want to cry for her situation, but you are always willing to smile for her compassion. Sister Tao is the "mother"."
"Watching this movie always reminds me of the two most important women in my life, my grandmother and my mother."
“The old ladies we think of are all the same: they love to be clean, they are very picky, and they often don’t mean what they say!
She loves to be clean:
Sister Tao used her mouth to tear off a piece of facial tissue to block her nostrils when she went to the toilet in the nursing home. The first thing she did after returning home was to involuntarily touch a handful of dust on the furniture... The old ladies we think of are all the same as Sister Tao.
They are clean and tidy, they always keep the house spotless, they don't let anyone sit on the bed casually, and they always have a fresh scent of soap.
She has a big mouth:
Sister Tao loves to eat and is good at cooking. She has kept the family in good shape, and it is difficult for them to eat ordinary food. Do you have an old lady in your family who has kept the family strong for several generations?
She is strong and cooks delicious meals three times a day. When one day she can no longer cook, you realize that you are no longer used to eating food cooked by others.
She doesn’t mean what she says:
When everyone said they were going to visit Sister Tao, Sister Tao said more than once: "You are very busy at work, so don't come." You must think this sentence is very familiar. In fact, while parents are looking through the autumn water waiting for their children to come home, they are also
They would say, "Let's get busy with work." At this time, why can't we go home more often? In fact, getting older is a very sad thing, and they really need us to accompany them to share their sorrows."
"It's quite touching. In fact, there is a "Sister Tao" around each of us. They may be your grandma or grandma, your mother or aunt, or your old nanny or neighbor, or even someone you have never seen before.
An old man I met once. Aging is more helpless and cruel than death. Children want to be raised but not loved by others. Do what you can while there is still time. Don't let the "Sister Tao" around you grow old and have no one to rely on."
"Watching "Sister Tao" reminded me of Grandma Yang, who was my aunt for 23 years when I was young. She had a very similar personality, but the ending was slightly different. Grandma Yang was taken back to the countryside of Huzhou by her grandson who had already become rich. She died because she was not used to the cold and cold in her hometown."
"The movie didn't deliberately show affection, but it made people cry. There was no very affectionate scene when Sister Tao passed away. It was just like Sister Tao's life, so dull and sad."
"When I finally saw Chen Weijie combing Sister Tao's hair, I couldn't help but think of my grandma, who is very similar to Sister Tao. It's a pity that I didn't even see her for the last time, hehe!"
"I feel deeply. I envy the Liang family to have such a servant who is dedicated to the family. My family also hires a nanny, but just like the servants that Sister Tao interviewed, maybe someone like Sister Tao can treat the family as a family.
The kind of workers we treat only exist in the past."
"Sister Tao devoted her whole life to the Liang family. One of Roger and his sister took care of her until she died, and the other took care of his posthumous affairs. This is probably our ideal master-servant relationship, with a beginning and an end, love and justice!"
"Thieves of Time" tells the history of the struggle of a generation and the joys, sorrows and joys of a generation.
"Sister Tao" focuses on servants and the elderly. The issue of elderly care has always been a topic that people will inevitably talk about, so this movie will make everyone think of the "Sister Tao" around them!
With such a foundation, the sense of resonance will be stronger.
