Vim？ Wenders

Douban score: 8.7 (evaluated by 3459 people)

Many people watch movies because they like an actor. I think the director behind the film is more attractive.

I have always believed that a film director is a very sacred role, and great film directors always have an extraordinary world outlook.

The author of this book is a great German director? Vim？ Wenders.

Thirty-three years ago, he won the Palme d 'Or award at Cannes Film Festival for his "Paris, Texas", and his shooting process around the world was recorded once in this book by his camera? Pictures and stories.

In this not-so-thick book, Wenders recorded the scenery he walked and the people he met with photos and short stories.

"once? Pictures and Stories is a group of photographic works, a diary and an essay, and it is also Wenders's observation of the world with the director's unique eyes.

Toad oil

Akira Kurosawa

Douban score: 8.4 (10080 people score)

Kurosawa is a world-famous film director.

Some people compare him to the film emperor, Shakespeare in the film industry.

But in his own autobiography? However, in Frog Oil, he tries his best to get rid of these false decorations and restore his true self.

? Amazing honesty? It was my first feeling when I read this book.

"Frog Oil" was written by Kurosawa at the age of 68, which recorded his trivia and thoughts in different life stages of youth, youth and old age.

Unlike most autobiographies, Kurosawa is reluctant to talk too much about his achievements because? It's hard for people to really talk about themselves? . So he is always on the alert for this: Did I beautify myself in the book?

In this autobiography, what you see is not the deified Kurosawa, but a real and flawed Kurosawa. Will he get angry over trifles, be addicted to alcohol, and be timid and shy? Have the same shortcomings as ordinary people. The book also reveals many personal feelings that he has never shown before? Family members who were frightened during the Tokyo earthquake and their brothers who died in their early years?

This is not so much an autobiography as a way for Kurosawa to know himself again through writing.

A great man faces his cowardice, shyness and anger with humility and sincerity.

The name of oviductus ranae comes from an old Japanese legend.

The ugly man in the deep mountain was caught and put in front of the mirror. When I saw his appearance, I couldn't help but be scared out of oil. This oil is also a folk medicine for treating burns and scalds.

Looking back on the past in his later years, Kurosawa described himself as a toad, standing only in front of the mirror and finding himself in a state of pain, scared out of oil? The crystallization of this oil is this kind of frog oil.

brief Introduction of the content

Bookworm review

1, the favorite is Kurosawa's self-metaphor.

Everyone is a toad. . . Simple style, see the truth in plain life. . .

3. Kurosawa is a humorous person and very cute.

03 "Jiangcheng"

Peter. Heisler

Douban score: 9.0(2 1506 people score)

This book has been on my bookshelf for a long time. To tell you the truth, I have never been interested in watching it.

In my imagination, it is just a travel book about China.

Until a boring weekend afternoon, I picked it up.

Then I was really shocked!

This one? Jiangcheng? Why does Fuling, an ordinary riverside town in Chongqing, have such a strong vitality and score as high as 9.0?

After reading it, I understand.

Fuling, like many small towns in China, has undergone a thorough transformation in the past 30 years, but they rarely enter the public eye, but are quietly changing. Living in it, we are too familiar with it to stop and observe it carefully.

And the author of this book, Peter? Hiles is different. He is an American and graduated from Princeton University and Oxford University. He gave up the westerners' strange views on China and merged with Fuling, from which he came out.

From this perspective, Fuling is full of charm.

Only then did we discover that the small towns and villages close at hand are the China we are deeply attached to.

Fuling is fortunate to be permanently preserved in the course of history by the book Jiangcheng.

brief Introduction of the content

This is not a book about China. It only covers a small area in China in a short time. Geographically and historically, Fuling is located in the middle reaches of the river, so it is sometimes difficult for people to see where she came from and where she is going.

Bookworm review

1, a gentle bystander, can't hide his compassion under the complicated description.

2. The book itself has four stars, and one star gives the author goodwill.

3. Love, tolerance and introspection.

04 "Resistance from the People"

Yuan Yue

Douban score: 9.2( 1208 people score)

Abroad, folk musician Bob? Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature. At home, Tony. S, Zhang Lei, Ma Di and Zhao Lei became the representatives of urban new folk songs.

Folk songs are slowly recovering.

If we want to trace the history of folk songs, Yuan Yue's rebellion from the people can be said to be the least missed.

This is not a boring history book. Although it is full of dry goods, it is quite interesting to write it with Yuan Yue's profound brushwork.

I seem to have heard Mr. Shu tell a story.

From America? Father of folk songs? Woody? Guthrie, for the legendary black musician? Lead belly? Yuan Yue told the legendary lives of more than 100 musicians. Their lives came together and became American history after World War II.

This book will let you know some people, fall in love with some songs, read some stories and learn some history.

I suggest that this book is best read and listened to.

Trust me, it will drive you crazy.

05 "Everything has spirit and everything is beautiful"

Jimmy. (English, Swiss) Harry (name)

Douban score: 8.8 (14560 people score)

This book is as beautiful as its name!

It's interesting that Jimmy. Harry's first job was as a veterinarian, and the writer was just his sideline.

He has always been a veterinarian, living in the countryside of England, driving around in his broken car to help ewes give birth and avoid being kicked by horses. Even after the bestseller made him rich and famous, he was very comfortable and never stayed away from his little animals.

Jimmy practiced medicine for more than 50 years until he fell ill and died.

I know nothing about animal medicine, but I like the details of this veterinarian's practice in the countryside.

? Everything? A set of five-volume series, in which Jimmy will introduce you to the living habits of dozens of lovely animals, tell you their anecdotes and, of course, the warm feelings in the quiet rural life.

In my opinion, it is often not setbacks and hardships that can knock people down, but the dullness and repetition of life.

Half a century's veterinary career did not make Jimmy lose his original intention, but brought him extraordinary observation, sophisticated and transparent temperament and plain and vivid writing.

He is a veterinarian, a writer, and a man with a full and peaceful heart.

brief Introduction of the content

Lorenz, the founder of animal behavior and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1973, said? In order to accurately describe the story of animals, one must have a sincere feeling for all life. ? The true feelings revealed from the heart may be the real reason why this book can impress hundreds of millions of readers. Harry is a man who loves life. He enjoys the gift of nature and praises the miracle of life. He is good at finding beauty in the little things in life, and more importantly, he can convey his love to readers in a nearly perfect way. Let's feel life, love and laughter equally.

Bookworm review

1, this is the most classic and high-quality work in this series. Books have an idyllic style, love flowing between people and animals, self-improvement, human touch, and everything. This is a book that makes people fall in love with their own lives, and I am deeply grateful for it.

This book is so interesting! All kinds of British cold humor, all kinds of lovely veterinary stories. Good to see that I read the electronic version with guilt and finally bought a full set of works by this British veterinarian on Dangdang.

It is a wonderful thing that people can love life so much and take it as their career.

Shaolin is very busy.

Matthew? Polly

7.9 points (56 1 person)

brief Introduction of the content

The book tells the story of Matthew in the 1990s. Polly dropped out of Princeton University and went to China Shaolin Temple to study, but what he found was a tourist? Kung fu world? .

Bookworm review

1, Dashan is the poison in the life of every foreigner living in China VS He Wei is the bane of every foreigner writing about contemporary China.

China in the early 1990s was really interesting. A foreigner has keenly discovered the inner character of China people, and writing swordsmanship, practicing martial arts, drinking and picking up girls are all good. I like two places best: the sudden peace of mind and the ending of practicing martial arts.

3, so interesting, I really hope to make a documentary! Author 1993 Go to Shaolin Temple? Practice? , leaving many memories of the times. Ten years later, revisit the old place and face it? Shaolin Temple attractions? Feeling? The world of kung fu is no longer a bit awkward to read.
