Laojing film review

Zhang Yimou starred in the film "Old Well Village on the Loess Plateau", but several generations failed to get a well until Quan Wang finally got the first well with the help of villagers' fund-raising. Villagers raised funds to carve a stone tablet with "immortal incense" and "stone tablet of the history of drilling wells in Laojing Village" engraved on it. When the end of the film is slowly pushed to Laojing Village, a long list of names of ancestors who died for drilling wells for hundreds of years, my heart is still shocked! The eternal confrontation and dependence between man and nature, the camera is silent but laments like a tragedy! Although the ending is still Chinese, I still feel the real regret in the philosophical sense. Perhaps, never hitting the water is the real survival picture, but this indomitable spirit has always inspired future generations! At that moment, I felt that desolate loess was full of passion and dreams.

So far, Zhang Yimou is the most successful film as an actor, and he is also the photographer of this film. High cheekbones and simple flat head are very suitable for an old man to play a simple Sun Wangquan. There are a lot of aerial guns piled up at the bottomless wellhead, and villagers compete for the ownership of the well on a large scale, and the well diggers move forward wave after wave. The lens captures pairs of contradictions: tradition and modernity, interests and responsibilities, kindness and ugliness, showing a heavy sense of history and the traditional feelings of "well", which people will never forget.
