I am eager to ask my parents for a model essay on the art test film review.

If you are in love, life and death will be generous.

-Comment on the movie My Mom and Dad.

"My Mom and Dad" is a love movie made by the famous director Zhang Yimou on 1999. This film tells the touching love story of a rural girl, Zhao Di, and a rural teacher. The film tells us what true love is through girls' persistent pursuit of love and their unswerving persistence in love, which leads us to think and ask about love.

This is the first film of the famous movie star Zhang Ziyi. /kloc-at the age of 0/9, she has successfully created a rural girl Zhao Di who dares to love and hate. Regardless of the closure of the times and the opposition of her family, she bravely pursued her love and devoted her life to it. Such characters are worthy of our appreciation and love, and Zhang Ziyi's outstanding performance also adds a lot of color to the role of this film. It should be said that as a Virgo in Zhang Ziyi, she was the first.

In addition, perhaps because of a preference, we have noticed that it seems that the heroine in every film in Zhang Yimou has such a personality, that is, persistence, stubbornness and unyielding, and they all have strong personalities, which seems to be the eternal personality characteristics of the female characters in Zhang Yimou's films, whether it is Qiu Ju, who petitioned for a statement again and again in The Story of Qiu Ju, or the persistent search for her students in No Child Left Behind. Or my grandmother in Red Sorghum who dares to break through the secular world and resist foreign invasion, they all have such indomitable personality traits, and this spirit also reflects our great national spirit. Perhaps it is because of such indomitable women that we can breed such a great and endless nation.

This "My Mom and Dad" is no exception, and she also created a heroine image with distinct personality. The story takes place in an almost isolated space, and the beautiful natural environment adds a lot of color to the love of the film. Director Zhang Yimou shows the protagonist's character through this kind of plot. When my father first came to teach in the village, he met his mother for the first time, and her mother fell in love with him at first sight. Since then, her mother has always wanted to get close to her father. The director arranged two plots to show her warmth, boldness, courage to love and hate. One is the plot of delivering meals when the school was founded. In order to make her father notice her good intentions, she always cooks the best meals and uses the most eye-catching tableware. Another plot is to draw water from the well platform. In order to have a chance to get in touch with her husband alone, Zhao Di didn't mind the distance and made a special trip to Qian Jing, which is closer to the school, to fetch water. When Mr. Wang went home to eat pie, he began to show his feelings boldly, and her feelings were also responded by Mr. Zhao. Two hearts that have admired each other for a long time have officially come together. When the love she just got was interrupted by Mr. Zhao's political problems, she did not hesitate to fight for and maintain it. She waited for Mr. Zhao to come back on the snowy road, and even risked her life to go to the county to find him. These typical plots show our mother's persistent and unyielding personality to the fullest, and also shock our hearts.

In order to better express the theme, the film has also made great efforts in details. First, the director used many details to promote the development of the plot, such as the blue and white porcelain bowl, which appeared five times in the film. The first time she appeared was when she was delivering dinner to Mr. Wang in Zhao Di. She was holding a very eye-catching porcelain bowl, hoping to attract Mr. Wang's attention. The second time, when Mr. Wang came home for dinner, Zhao Di took out the big porcelain bowl again and asked Mr. Wang to confirm whether he had seen it. At this moment, Mr. Wang read Zhao Di's mind. The third time, Zhao Di sent jiaozi to her husband. The bowl was broken and Zhao Di's heart was broken. The fourth time, my mother asked someone to pick up the broken bowl. Zhao Di soon saw the mended bowl, and the broken "bowl" was reunited, which shows that Zhao Di's love is still full of hope. Therefore, every time the details of the big porcelain bowl appear, they are consistent with the hero's mood and promote the development of the plot. Other details, such as the red cotton-padded jacket and the sound of reading, have also appeared many times, and directors have used this to strengthen and promote the plot.

Snow is also a typical environmental detail deliberately set by director Zhang Yimou. When Zhao Di braved the heavy snow again and again to wait for Mr. Zhao Di, the heavy snow became a great resistance on the road of Zhao Di's love. Zhao Di must beat himself in the snow to win the love he wants. When Mr. Wang learned that Zhao Di was too ill to wait for him, he also risked his political life to return to Zhao Di. When Zhao Di stood at a familiar intersection for the last time, waiting for Mr. Wang to come back, she was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket that Mr. Wang liked and blossomed like a flower in the snow. At this time, the snow has stopped, and the bright sunshine shines on the white snow, indicating that the long wait has finally ushered in the moment of reunion.

Perhaps because Zhang Yimou is a photographer, the use of color in his films always leaves a deep impression on us. Zhang Yimou always seems to find one or several theme colors for a movie, from the desolate and boundless yellow in the earliest Yellow Land, to the large red in Red Sorghum, and then to the dazzling golden color in Golden Flower. Among all the colors, Zhang Yimou seems to prefer red. Whether it's Red Sorghum, Hanging the Red Lantern High or The Story of Autumn Chrysanthemum, in these films, red is the main color he used to express the theme, and red has also become a symbolic color with strong symbolic significance.

The film My Father and Mother is no exception. As Zhang Yimou's masterpiece, it is undoubtedly branded with Zhang Yimou's personalized color style, and the use of these colors has indeed played a great narrative role.

The film uses color when describing the good memories of the past, and the color is extremely gorgeous. There are golden yellow full of warmth and harvest, white with heavy snow, and red with girls' clothes and scarves. Zhang Yimou uses different colors for a special purpose. Golden color is used to explain that the story happened in the autumn of harvest, and colorful colors have constructed a fairy-tale warm world for us, which seems to tell us that in such a simple, quiet and peaceful world, red not only represents the image of the heroine's youthful vitality, but also symbolizes love and hope, especially the red cotton-padded jacket worn by Zhao Di, which is a clue that runs through her love development. When we enter the present, we use relatively calm black and white. This is because, in Zhang Yimou's view, the reality is cold and cruel, far less beautiful than the memory. The hero and heroine in memory are young and romantic, but the hero in reality is dead and the heroine is old beyond recognition.

Zhang Yimou deserves to be a generation of movie master who was born in photography. In addition to the outstanding contribution of gorgeous colors in narrative, the shots in his films are as perfect and neat as textbooks. Almost every painting is displayed in front of us like a quiet oil painting, especially those in Yuan Ye in Autumn, which are beautiful and pure, as if bringing us into a fairy tale world. Moreover, the lens language is extremely rich, and the switching between perspective and close-up is conducive to depicting and shaping characters, and the composition of almost every picture is very neat.

In today's Internet age and consumption age, true love seems to be getting farther and farther away from us. Mom and dad's love seems to have become a distant memory. But it is precisely because of the preciousness of that sincere love that we miss it more today, and mom and dad have restored our confidence. He seems to tell us that such love is not without. As long as we all have a heart of true love, maybe you will find love as precious as Zhao Di.

My Father and Mother, a pure love movie, won wide acclaim as soon as it appeared on the screen. Won the 1999 Hundred Flowers Award Best Feature Film Award, 1999 Golden Rooster Best Feature Film Award, and the 2000 Berlin Film Festival Silver Bear Award, and was named the top ten films of the year in the world. It can be said to be the most pure classic of love.
