What is the theme of my father and mother?

"My Father and Mother"

A tribute to pure love.

As we cross the new century, director Zhang Yimou has made a deeply touching film. "My Father and Mother" is a "poetic film" that integrates aestheticism and romanticism. The film tells the story of the love between parents with a son. His father is Teacher Luo and his mother is Chunhua. The mother likes his father. When it comes to eating rice, my father responds to my mother. During the Cultural Revolution, my father was pulled back. Cheng Sheng asked his mother to wear her hair every day and wait for the two of them to be together for more than 40 years. The film stars Zhang Ziyi, composed by Zheng Hao, Sanbao, and directed by Hou Yong. It uses multiple angles to show the innocent love between the two to the moviegoers and sings praises to the pure and simple innocent love story. It won the Silver Bear Award at the 50th Berlin International Film Festival in 2000.

The color and light in the film have a strong prominent effect on the subject of the film. They are more often a manifestation of the subject's connotation. The film uses black and white and color to well separate the past and the present. At the beginning, the film changed from a voice-over about the death of his father to memories and changed to color. The colorful past expresses praise for the good times in the past, and the black and white of the present further sets off the beauty of the past, that is, the sadness of Teacher Luo's back after his father died.

While remembering the past era, it is also a tribute to classical love.
