Friday said: "father" in the image of the book is usually "silent and dignified" as a pronoun. The vast majority of readers will have a fixed impression of "father": father's love is like a mountain. When we recall the past reading experience, the first one to appear in our eyes is Mr. Zhu Ziqing's back. Because the "father" in the novel often uses "silent action" to express love. The narration of "father" in the film history is rich and colorful. Because the expression of film not only has sound and picture, but also has performance and movement. In the history of film, there are many classic films and TV works involving the important role of "father". Let's take a look at how these classic movies tell about fathers——
1、 Bicycle Thief: a new realism approach to capture the helplessness of the father at the bottom
Why do you have to make yourself so unhappy when you are in a dead end? ——The bike thief
We know that this film has an unparalleled place in film history. It is the representative work of Italian Neo realism film movement and the classic masterpiece of famous director Vittorio desica. The film is full of humanistic care, with documentary lens, shooting the ups and downs of an unemployed father.
The audience who has seen this movie may not forget the anxiety of father and son looking for the bicycle all over the street, and the bitterness of eating in the restaurant The unemployed father is unable to meet the needs of his children, but he blames himself for suffering. Children's understanding and unlimited worship of their father make this play more tragic.
When looking for actors, desica did not use professional actors, but used the father and son of non professional actors to make the film closer to reality. He used a long lens to shoot the vivid amorous feelings of Rome after World War II, and shot the love between a poor father and son.
There is such a plot in the film: in the fierce competition of the job market, his father rich is very difficult to find a job with posters, but his bike is lost, and his job is about to be lost. He takes his son to find a bicycle in a hurry. Bicycle is the only guarantee for him to survive!
Rich asked his friends to help him find a car and let his son wait by the river. Suddenly someone yelled that a child had fallen into the water. Richton, feeling dark, rushed over and called his son's name. When the drowning child was rescued ashore, he saw the familiar little figure at the end of the steps. At this moment, the bicycle was as light as a feather.
He took his son into the dining room and ordered two bottles of beer and two cheeseburgers. This kind of luxury has never happened. The boy's surprise was magnified by close-up shots. His father lost his job and his bicycle was stolen. However, when his son was more important than everything else, he suddenly put it down.
However, after drinking, leaving the restaurant and seeing the unemployed people on the street, the pressure of life hit again.
For many years, I often think of the last love node of the movie "the bicycle thief": what on earth drove the father to cross the moral bottom line and change from a stolen person to a thief? When he was caught in public, the image of the father collapsed in front of his son, the film suddenly stopped. Did he just do it because of his instinct as a father to protect his family? This is a problem worthy of our consideration.
2、 Godfather: Marlon Brando's alternative performance opens the narration of "gangster father"
Men, do not hate your opponent, it will make you lose your mind. ——Godfather
Speaking of the godfather, the movie goers know the status of the film. "Godfather" series of three films, each film has a "father" shadow. In particular, Marlon Brando's father is a classic performance in the film history.
Marlon Brando's interpretation of the old godfather is not angry and self-confident. He has ruthless force in kindness and resourcefulness in stability. When he played the role of godfather, he deliberately put a cotton in his mouth so that he could speak that tone. The performance of facial paralysis shows an image that no one can surpass. No matter how hard alpacino's performance is, there is no longer the ease of the "old Godfather".
The old godfather's performance is very different, and his love for his son is "special", which is mainly manifested in his love for his youngest son, Mike. He killed people in mafia circles all his life, but he didn't want his favorite son, Mike, to get involved in the family business. From the classic "wedding", we can see that the godfather has high hopes for his son, Mike. In Chinese, it is called "parents love their children, and their plans are far-reaching."
But the plot turns to the bottom. During the mafia war, the second is killed and the boss is cowardly. Malone Brando was also injured. The only hope for the whole family is Mike. Mike took on the family business at the critical moment, but his hands were covered with blood. His only hope for his children, as the old Godfather had for him, was to stay away from the Mafia business. His love for his daughter is even more so. For the sake of her happiness, he even forced her to leave her lover, because the "lover" is his successor. Therefore, the love of "gangster father" to his children is to stay away from the family right and wrong and become an ordinary person.
3、 Men and women eating and drinking: the unexpected narrative rhythm deduces the story of a lonely father
Life can't be like cooking. You can't wait until everything is ready. ——Men and women eating and drinking
Ang Lee's "family trilogy," the last film, "food and drink men and women," became his classic, which won him an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film. In this film, he seems to be as skilful as a cook. He cooks a tragicomedy in the kitchen, and even filmed the life of a lonely old father in his old age. Ang Lee once said, "the family trilogy" is about "the process of deconstruction and reconstruction of a family". In fact, this is also about the interpretation of personal and family, marriage and human nature, but also a fine description of an old father
In order to narrate the complex family ethics drama, director Ang Lee skillfully uses the linear narrative technique to advance the story step by step with six dinners. Each dinner brings out a plot point that stimulates the plot, which becomes the rhythm of the whole film.
Lao Zhu alone pulled up his three daughters. The three daughters always thought that their father would be so lonely in his life. But when the eldest daughter and the third daughter married and left one after another, no one thought that the next one to leave home was not the second daughter, but Lao Zhu!
Lao Zhu and his eldest daughter's best friend secretly fell in love and finally said it at the last moment. Lao Zhu said that life is not like cooking. He can't wait for all the materials to be ready before he goes to the pot. He also has to consider for himself, although the second daughter is not married, although he is not ready for many things, but life is like this, you should seize what you have, enjoy the moment.
Chen Baoxu talked about in his book drinking, eating, drinking, men and women: screenplay and shooting process
"Diet is something on the table, which can be developed into an enviable art; men and women are things under the table, and the taste of it is as long as you know it."
4、 Beautiful life: telling a father's beautiful lies in a comedy way
Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life, while comedy is to tear up the worthless things. ——Lu Xun
"Beautiful life" is produced by famous Italian director Robert benini. In 1999, the film won the 71st Academy Awards for best foreign language film, best actor and best score. Up to now, it is also one of the classic movies that we have listed! A lot of people said that at the beginning of the play, there was a lot of laughter, but it turned out to be crying.
This is an alternative comedy based on a romantic character. Whose romantic character is, of course, the Jewish father (Robert benini).
In view of the fact that the focus and viewpoint of the film are all centered on the Jewish father, naturally, all the jokes and jokes will not deviate from this character's character.
The play is about such a great father, in the Nazi massacre of Jews in the concentration camp, he risked his life, for his son to block the most cruel corner of the world.
There are several classic plot points
When father and son were locked up in Nazi concentration camps, the German army attacked them with the most vicious language. Dad raised his hand as a translator. He cleverly turned the German translation into an "adventure" story, which made his son smile. In such a scene, a father risked his life to protect his child's childlike innocence.
When my son slipped out of the barracks, he was in danger. The wife is suffering in the female prisoner, there is no hope. At this time, dad showed his superhuman wisdom and humor. He conveyed his love for his wife on the trumpet to reassure her. Also appeased the son, let the son think all this is "the game".
In the scene at the dinner table, the son said thank you, causing suspicion. Dad once again defused it in a clever way. He also played a love song with his wife on the gramophone. Even in the cruel scene like the concentration camp, as a father, he had to protect his family and become their spiritual support.
The romantic tone of the style of "beautiful life" has not changed from the beginning to the end. The romantic character and work style of the protagonist have not changed from the beginning to the end of the war. What has changed is the plot environment - from pre war to the outbreak of war, from peace and ease to tension and fear The constant romantic attitude of the characters and the change of the environment have produced a chemical reaction on the audience. Generally speaking, it makes people laugh at first, then laugh and cry again, until they can't laugh repressively.
5、 "Dog house horror": a "cowardly" father in the performance of the film Emperor
"Dogman," released in 2018, won the best actor at Cannes Film Festival. Of course, the reason why he won the title of film emperor is not only the performance, but also the match between his performance and the rhythm of the story.
In this movie, he opened a pet shop, which bathed dogs. The director made his circle of friends, his relationship with his ex-wife very vague. The only clear division is between father and daughter.
Let's look at the scene between father and daughter: through the plot, we know that the man has no custody of his daughter and can only meet his daughter with the permission of his ex-wife. But this "failed father" gets along well with his daughter - they laugh and play together, take part in the pet makeup contest, go out to sea together, dive together
He is a good old man who loves his daughter. He has no strong body, no money and even no temper. But his love for his daughter is his only blood. For his daughter's dream, he is willing to give everything, even if it is prison, even if it is humiliating. For him, ideal is ideal. In order to collect money from the Red Sea for his daughter, he does not care what means are used to achieve this ideal.
This is the last insistence of a seemingly cowardly father. He can be trampled on, but he can do anything for his daughter.
