The film "Four Springs" produced by 500 yuan at a cost of/kloc-0 urges you to go home. What are the good elements of this film that are so touching?

The documentary "Four Springs" is a documentary about the dull and warm daily life of the closest relatives in four springs recorded by director Lu Qingyi. The film entered the cinema under the strong recommendation of famous actors Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, and finally gained more than 10 million box office and 8.9 points of Douban. Although there is no dramatic ups and downs in alleviating the dull daily life, it also shows us the power of time and the ordinary warmth of a loving family in four years of flowers and personnel changes. The father who is versatile and interested in life is a retired teacher, the mother who loves singing and laughing is a housewife, and the three children are wandering outside and don't get together often. The survival mode of this small family is also the epitome of countless families in China, which gives the audience in front of the screen a deep sense of substitution. They read other people's stories, but they are moved by their own hearts.

It can also be seen from this film that the director's family has always had the habit of recording the time of family reunion. Recording the short and rare time of family reunion with the lens also gives us an inspiration to cherish the family. The reason why it is April, not summer, autumn and winter, is also because the habit of China people is to go home for reunion during the New Year. We are familiar with the scenery and human feelings in that movie, the scenery of the four seasons in the movie, and even the Guizhou dialect in the movie all seem cordial. These four springs are not only the four springs of director Lu Qingyi's family, but also the four springs of many ordinary families in China.

One of the elements of documentary: based on real people and things, show real life.

Actually, it goes without saying. In April, there were no actors All the materials in the film are from the real records of Siquan's family life. Whether it's bacon or bracken picking, there are big events such as the death of my sister and the illness of my uncle. Compared with the previous Japanese film "Fruit of Life", it has a lot of fireworks and a little more Chinese flavor, which is also a reality in itself.

The second element of documentary: limited artistic processing of real materials

This film has almost no director's scheduling, the color is dark, and even the light is not very good. The director tries his best to minimize his sense of existence, and even the director himself rarely appears in front of the camera, which also gives the audience a good substitution angle. The biggest artistic treatment is editing, which arranges the events in April in chronological order and occasionally inserts some flashbacks of the past to form a complete narrative that is loyal to the timeline without losing the psychological order.

Starting from the real life of his family, the director made a very restrained artistic treatment, presenting us with such a real life of ordinary people in China, which is true, delicate and warm, and giving our wandering souls a comfort at home in a quiet way. Siquan is ordinary enough, but it is not ordinary. It deserves so much praise and reputation on Douban.
