Deep observation: the sound of cowbells-rebirth in melancholy

-"I would like to dedicate this film to all cattle people.

There is also a father who has suffered a lot to raise his children. "

The Sound of Cowbells is a documentary directed by Chung-Ryoul Lee and starring Cui Yuanjun and Li Sanshun. It was released in Korea on June 65438+1October 65438+May 2009, recording the story between a stocky old farmer and a scalper who accompanied him for more than 30 years. The film earned $65,438+200 million with minimal investment, and it is one of the few classic documentaries in Korea.

According to legend, this documentary was filmed after director Chung-Ryoul Lee had suicidal thoughts. With the release of the film, he found himself again.

During the filming of "The Sound of Cow Bells", the veterinarian originally predicted that the old cow with only one year to live lived unexpectedly for three years, reaching 40 years old, which led to the explosion of production costs, investors scared away and photographers ran away. In the end, only Chung-Ryoul Lee was left to direct, record and photograph, and the filming lasted for three years.

After the death of the old cow, the old farmer carefully took off the nose ring and cow bell that accompanied the old cow all his life, held them in his hand, sat silently under the tree, closed his eyes against the sunset-until the breeze blew, the cow bell jingled and suddenly opened his eyes like second time around-and the muddy old eyes reflected the crystal of tears, hitting the bottom of my heart like a blockbuster, hitting the most fragile and soft place in my heart, which made people unable to persist for a long time. ...

In fact, the sound of the cow bell reveals the deep feelings between farmers and cows, or the so-called "nurturing grace", "the coldness of modern society" and "the love between husband and wife" ... these cliches have completely lost the meaning of "reading" documentaries. Director Chung-Ryoul Lee is not a profound thinker, he just sensationalized the right people at the right time and place.

Mr. Lu Xun has read many books. Today I will analyze some aphorisms of the old gentleman.

Fan Yi:

What happened after Nozuo is an article in Lu Xun's tomb. After living contentedly in a so-called happy family, Nora realized that she was her husband's puppet and her children were her puppet. So she left, only to hear the door closed, and then closed again. Mr. Lu Xun was keenly aware that Nora left, and there were two results: one was to come back and the other was to starve to death.

In the cow bell, the old cow has only two results: one is to be sold, and the other is to continue to be the puppet of the old farmer.

Ask a question: Are you a cow or an old farmer?

In fact, all people who watch documentaries subconsciously regard themselves as cows or old farmers, so their tears are different and they feel different, but they don't realize it.

For example, some people shed tears when the bronze ring of the old cow was taken off. What do you think his or her metaphor is?

Behind Nora is not only Lu Xun's philosophical thinking, but also a deeper layer. Who is not a puppet in human society and who is not a puppet? ! Many people's sadness comes from being a puppet. Don't you know that there is a string hanging from the head of the person who holds the rope!

In Korea, the gap between urban and rural areas, the pressure of survival, the changes of the times and moral traditions are all the same as ours. The question is: Are you Nora?

Who isn't?

Faner:

On the collapse of the Leifeng Tower: "Tragedy destroys the valuable things in life for people to see, while comedy tears up the worthless things for people to see."

Have you ever thought about how much hypocrisy there is when you appreciate this documentary? Are those postures? Are those designed lines?

When the sons and daughters of the old farmer get together and persuade the old farmer to sell the old cow and the old woman together, have you ever thought: how hypocritical is it if it is a carefully designed line? If you don't care if someone is filming next to you, how indifferent is it? Or both, how helpless is this?

Many years later, after revisiting Stephen Chow's king of comedy, I really realized the phrase "laugh when you cry, and cry when you laugh".

Life is "joys and sorrows, sickness and death, sickness and death". When you walk through these sixteen words, your life and mine will come to an end. Therefore, you don't have to care at all, "dreams are like dew, and they are like electricity." Anyone who is courageous must be a person who fully understands the truth. When he is old, everything will be fine.

What's the difference between tragic comedies? -No!

Fan San:

Mr. Lu Xun said in the self-titled portrait: "It is common for scholars to write compositions and farmers to dig hoes. If he takes a photo, the scholar will pretend to be a clown and play with the lotus hoe with a hat. The farmer is holding a book in Liu Xia and pretending to be a' deep willow reading a picture', which is disgusting. "

There are many delicate emotions in a person's life. You and I are the same, and all beings are equal at this point. What is particularly annoying is that the royal literati hold smelly feet and have a feeling of affectation, and they are even more disgusted with those obviously useless words. They really think everything is fine.

Of course, we are talking about depression. We always think that depression and affectation have one thing in common-vanity, materialism, anxiety and fear are also behind them.

Get to the point: there is no doubt about the promiscuity of the sound of cowbells. After all, the so-called "documentary" is also for sale-from depression to rebirth, director Chung-Ryoul Lee has experienced great changes in his life-especially great success in his career.

As a result, depression was cured. It turned out that depression was cured by the material world-mental illness is closely related to matter.

Throughout the ages, the most beautiful depressed beauty is Lin Daiyu, and the melancholy cloud in Li Qingzhao's works is the Iron Woman; The most handsome depressed teenager is Pan An, and Emperor Yang Di may have to wait in line. The most handsome depressed dignitary must be Zhou Yu, who was killed by the sinister Zhuge Cunfu.

You see: depression has existed since ancient times, but it seems nothing today! But the ancients didn't pay that much attention. Depressed Pan An is as comfortable at home as not picking up fruit. Depressed Zhou Yu was also handsome before vomiting blood.

In fact, we all know that modern society is stressful and everyone is a little depressed-the problem is that you and I have to understand one thing: we are all carbohydrates! What really needs to be supplemented is carbohydrates! Even if you are the bodhi old zu in Chen Tuan, you definitely don't need more than 4 square meters!

Depression: from the perfection of your material pursuit-

After you figure it out, do you still think there is anything to worry about?
