Film Review The Mountain, The Man and the Dog

On the long road of life, my father explained his love with action and companionship. The film The Mountain, The Man, The Dog was directed by Jianqi Huo. The film tells this story in the mountainous area of Hunan in the early 1980s.

The retired postman took over the first job with his son, so the father and son had an unprecedented spiritual dialogue. The director of the whole film told the audience with skillful use of pictures and description of characters and emotions.

The film's delicate handling of the picture is a major factor in the success of this work. Storrow, a famous photographer, once said: "Color is a part of film language." In this film, the director permeated the color into the picture, running through the lush mountain scenery, naturally showing the simplicity of the mountain people, laying the basic style of the film, and the story was slowly told in such a quiet and fresh environment.

On the lonely postal road, under the lens in the distance is Castle Peak. In the picture, the second child runs in front, the son carries the parcel, and the father follows closely. My father's stooped back is also reflected in the lush mountain scenery. The Buddha lives in the mountains, and the mountains are the carrier of the meaning of life, bearing the life concept and career ideal of an ordinary mountain postman. When they reached the second destination, the father and son stood on the hillside and looked at the village. The father told his son. The director skillfully designed the costumes of the characters and the houses in the village into one color. This harmonious picture not only conveys the visual beauty to the audience, but also shows their simple and simple heart that likes nature. The director's handling of the picture is just like pursuing a documentary, showing every detail of the picture to the audience more clearly, so that the audience can have a better sense of reality and singing.

When the father left the village with his son, the villagers stood at the entrance of the village and watched for a long time. Their eyes are full of reluctance and gratitude to the postman in their hometown. The picture is not arbitrarily rendered, but it can have a strong emotional impact. Although my father was not well received by the public, he won the trust and respect of the villagers and expressed the director's respect for this simple rural postman. The use of pictures unfolds the story of the film and shows the audience the beauty of human nature. Father and son go to the wedding, which has the characteristics of Hunan mountainous area. In the picture, the villagers danced and drank around the bonfire, and the national songs lingered, just like a beautiful and warm sketch, filled with deep affection in light and shadow music.

In this film, the grasp of characters and emotions is undoubtedly the bargaining chip for this work to become a classic. Director Jianqi Huo's handling of his father's image and emotion is ingenious and subtle, just as the whole film has always been conservative, quiet and introverted. When walking the first section of the mountain road, his father said on the surface that he would let the second child run slowly, but he was actually taking care of his son. Seeing his son's stubbornness when he met someone sideways, his father smiled softly behind him and gave him a touch of guidance, which contained subtle and unspeakable fatherly love. On the way, the son dropped the package to find his father, and the introverted father lost his temper. The film did not elaborate on this, but let the audience know more about his father through his son's monologue. The director skillfully set off the image of his father and narrowed the distance between father and son. The director took the five women as the leading point, and her appearance strongly promoted the shaping of his father's image and deepened his character and character. The audience will be moved by that piece of white paper, and also by the ordinary rural postman who silently cares about the love and true feelings of the world. The director takes the views of father and son on national cadres as the starting point, and some narrow views on father make the image more three-dimensional and realistic.

At the same time, the film also shows off his father's efforts through a lot of flashbacks to ignore the scar on his son's neck and not understand his wife's feelings of missing. At the same time, it also gives the characters a chance to sort themselves out. Finally, the son called out his father kindly and naturally, and the director expressed his understanding of fatherly love and human nature in a subtle and warm way. Let the audience remember the young and energetic young man and the ordinary and simple father.
