The voice is loud and surging, hitting people's hearts directly.
Yufeng boy
The boy who rides the wind
You may not think of it.
The director of this film comes from our "old acquaintance" chiwetel ejiofor.
That year, 12 Years a Slave, starring him, swept the world's major awards ceremony, with six nominations and three awards.
Is a well-deserved winner.
This time, from "before" to "behind", chiwetel ejiofor was as amazing as ever.
The first novel handed in a relatively good answer.
Shortly after the launch, Douban scored 7.9.
This is also a story about black people. Even though there are some defects, its script is solid and complete, so people can't ignore the Excellence of the film itself.
People who have seen it, more than one person praised it: this is the real movie about Africa.
Why do you say that?
Because there is no fantasy of the outside world standing on a high place in the film, there are some flesh-and-blood scenes that touch people's hearts.
Following the camera, we can see that people here depend on the sky for food. Once they encounter drought and flood, it may mean that the harvest will drop and they will face hunger.
Where there are people, there is a struggle for interests and power.
Food and clothing are still difficult to guarantee, so when capital invaded and plundered this "simple" town, many villagers here sold their own trees regardless of the chief's obstruction.
Because they want to get the money and get the hell out of here.
The direct effect of cutting down trees is the water storage capacity of soil.
After the downpour, few crops were flooded, and the hard work and sweat of farmers for a year went down the drain.
Nevertheless, you can't bear to stand on the moral high ground and accuse them of selfishness.
After all, in front of everything, living is the first important thing.
Life and death, this is also the moment that can best witness human nature.
In the face of famine, the government did nothing but send two trucks of relief food.
Limited food is about to face "unlimited" victims from all directions.
In order to buy food, they ran desperately and did not hesitate to kill each other;
They are like runaway "wild horses" and have lost their minds.
Abuse, quarrel, breaking through the granary guards, knocking at the door.
Some men marched in the city to put pressure on the upper class; Some took part in the "granary grabbing" war.
I never thought that my wife, children and girls at home were in greater danger.
People who follow the trend, without any morality, take the food in their hands and empty the warehouse, directly pushing them to the brink of death.
Life seems to have no hope, only despair.
After all this, the young children began to complain, and the daughter cried and complained to her mother about her father:
Hearing this, mother gave her a hard slap.
Although the film shows us a cruel and broken world, it also shows the gentleness of humanity and tradition.
It also tells the world that perseverance, kindness and wisdom are the qualities that can make people go through a long life.
In the film, it is William who proves this point.
The teenage boy likes studying. He likes taking science classes and playing electronic items such as radio best.
I often help others repair things in private to earn some pocket money.
Without an enlightened mother, he is free to do what he wants.
A mother has expectations for a pair of children. She doesn't believe that begging for rain can buy her survival, but she is committed to sending her children to college.
However, with the decrease of harvest, the family soon had no money to pay for William's tuition.
This means that he will be expelled from school.
But William, who is very curious, will try his best to avoid the headmaster's inspection and secretly take a science class.
It was knowledge that made him a hero to save the village.
The famine is getting worse and worse, and the government is unable to support it. The villagers "hurt each other" and those who were able left the town.
The once prosperous school was destroyed because the villagers could not provide school education for their children.
The teacher who should be preoccupied with teaching and educating people has no time to impart knowledge. He just wants to seize the opportunity and leave with his beloved woman, William's sister.
However, this proposal was rejected by her.
Because for her, it's a betrayal of her family.
In sharp contrast to the above, William is determined to stay in his hometown.
Unlike his father who wants to stick to the land, he wants to change the status quo and save the village.
On my sister's boyfriend's bike, the science teacher, he found a "DC generator", which can generate current and light the lights by turning the wheels.
So, he thought of using this principle to restart the pump, so that farmers no longer have to rely on the weather to eat and can work all year round.
What needs to be added is that the local village lacks batteries, and even oil lamps are regarded as "luxury goods".
William often goes to the garbage dump to find waste batteries, put them together and collect the remaining electricity so as to listen to the radio.
Knowing that there was such a thing as a "DC generator", he decided to ask the science teacher for help.
As expected, how can this "rare" thing be easily obtained? However, the teacher helped as much as possible.
Help him enter the school library and borrow relevant books.
So, he saw a book "Energy Utilization".
In the book, he found a way to save the village and decided to take action. ......
It can be said that the movie of 1 13 minutes is roughly divided into two parts-
The first half shows the big picture, and the second half is William's dream-chasing journey.
Although the ending of the story may be obvious at a glance, it does not affect the touch and shock it brings us.
Although there are many difficulties before William, including parents' incomprehension and doubt, and lack of hardware, his persistence and firmness touched everyone.
The father chose to trust his son and contributed the only valuable thing in the family-the bicycle;
In order to fulfill my younger brother and reduce the "one mouth to eat" at home, my sister promised the science teacher to elope with him.
In exchange for William's much-needed DC generator.
So, did William succeed?
There is no doubt that this is an inspirational story.
Some netizens even joked that the strength of this film explains the famous saying that "knowledge changes fate".
So some people feel rebellious because they are too "right", too sensational and too embarrassed.
But borrow a short comment from Douban netizen @ Feifei-
Besides, this is a true story.
This film is a true story, adapted from William's novel of the same name.
Perhaps you have never heard of Malawi, a small country, but William, a teenager who dropped out of school, lost his dream and hope for the future of Africa under the inspiration of science books.
He saved his countrymen.
At this moment, William's phrase "I tried, I succeeded" standing on the podium is so hit the floor.
End—
