Chu Beijuan, a member of the Literary Translation and Introduction Committee of Zhejiang Province and a professor of Zhejiang University of Technology, Pu Bo, a professor of Zhejiang University of Communication, science fiction writer Zhang Xiao, children's book writer Zhang Xuezhen, and audience friends all started from "Snow Leopard" and talked about their feelings about the film, the director, and Perspectives on texts and film and television adaptations. There was also a mother of a third-grade child who explained the details of why her child was so fascinated.
Wang Yinjie, associate professor of the Directing Department of the Film School of China Academy of Art and modern artist:
Wanma Caidan has dual identities as a writer and director. He can win the Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Talow", and he can also win the Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Snow Leopard" "Won the Best Screenplay at the 17th Asian Film Awards. I remember that his son Kumi Narei said in an interview that the creation of "Snow Leopard" was inspired by a social news. In that news, a snow leopard broke into a herdsman's house, ate a sheep and fell asleep. My father was moved and spent two or three nights writing the script, and then this movie was born.
"Talow" directed by Wanma Tseden also left a deep impression on me. There is a scene in the film in which the protagonist Talow was deceived by a woman and lived in despair. If you have any impression, there are only a few sentences in the original work describing how Tarlow spent one day, two days and three days after being deceived, but the director said in the interview that the text and the movie present completely different things. Literal thinking is a kind of linear thinking, which can only follow the author's narrative point, and there is no other path; visual thinking is very divergent. During the movie screening, the audience can see many subtitles. For example, when I watch "Snow Leopard", I can always notice the herdsman's wife in the fierce quarrel. She has very few scenes, but I think she is very real, because she is a Tibetan herself, and her life is like this, and it is presented appropriately. It produced what the director wanted, and it made me believe in the world in "Snow Leopard" even more.
Zhong Qiushi, Vice Chairman of Zhejiang Provincial Writers Association and Writer:
In "Snow Leopard", we followed the director's lens and seemed to have walked into Tibet immersively, and fully experienced the shock that snow leopard brought to us. On the surface, this film is about the relationship between man and nature, but in the final analysis, it is about the relationship between man and society, and man and himself. At the end of the film, man and nature are reconciled. Although this reconciliation is promoted by external forces such as the police station and is not specifically developed, we see more possibilities from this reconciliation. I think that if people are reconciled with themselves, then the entire world and human society will be reconciled.
Wang Yiqing, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Children's Literature Committee and deputy editor-in-chief of Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House Co., Ltd.:
I have heard of the movie "Snow Leopard" for a long time, and I thought I must watch it. Like Teacher Wang Yinjie, I also paid attention to the only female character in the film. Her facial performance was too devoted, especially when she was in a state of fierce disputes. She was always looking at the person who could bring the final decision to her family. Director, let’s see what he is talking about. In the end, she put a coat on her husband, which allowed us to see the director’s deep warmth in the film and was deeply moved. I was also moved by the Snow Leopard Lama. When I watched Come on, he is the incarnation of the snow leopard, and the director uses many shots to show this. At the same time, there are many invisible fragments of life that support the bottom of the film, such as the video of the TV reporter and his wife Yang Jin, and the exchange between the township chief’s assistant and his wife.The snow falling more and more tightly in this place also makes me feel that in addition to our mediocre and weak life everywhere, there is this snowfield above us, which, like the snow leopard spirit, brings us eternity. , the fantasy of nature. These gave me a huge shock when I watched the movie live. I will also use the feelings born in this vast snow to face the life that I sometimes cannot bear, whether light or heavy.
Pu Bo, Professor of Zhejiang University of Communication:
I think film texts are different from novels and poetry texts. The text directed by Wanma Caidan gives us multiple thoughts. From the perspective of simple narrative, the movie "Snow Leopard" uses a small narrative. It is different from the large narrative of Hollywood movies. It only extracts one thing that happened in a day and extends it. This extension is vertical. Wanma Tseden's talent is shown through his horizontal portrayal. Somewhat similar to Ibsen, Wanma Tseden also adds multiple perspectives, such as feminism, sociology, religion, and mythology, into a very small narrative. At the same time, the richness of the film's aesthetics surpasses that of Zhang Yimou. The film also uses Snow Leopard's perspective to present the world imagined by the director as never before. Following his lens, we are getting closer to the real world behind the film step by step.
Chu Beijuan, member of the Literary Translation and Introduction Committee of Zhejiang Province and professor of Zhejiang University of Technology:
The theme of the film "Snow Leopard" is very clear, focusing on the relationship between man and nature. As Teacher Zhong said, from this relationship, we can reflect on man and himself. , the relationship between people and society, and people and others. Many foreign writers have written similar works, such as "Moby-Dick" written by Melville and "The Old Man and the Sea" written by Hemingway. There is a climax in the movie, when the government and police sent people, but they were unable to provide clear commitments to the herdsmen who had suffered losses, and they had fierce conflicts with the herdsmen. I think this is actually a kind of questioning and reflection by the director, that is, In the most real life, how to solve the demands of the people at the bottom and protect the interests of herdsmen while protecting wild animals.
Science fiction writer Zhang Xiao:
I write fantasy novels, and I feel that the movie "Snow Leopard" does not present much difference from fantasy-themed movies, because for those of us who usually live in cities, herders The life is very remote, but this kind of life also shows the interaction between man and nature, which is very resonant. Going back further, the discussion on the relationship between man and nature can be traced back to the industrial era and the agricultural era. On the surface, the film is about how humans and animals get along, but on a deeper level, it explores how humans should treat each other. A survival system that has existed for hundreds of millions of years has been formed and coexists with it. Many of the plots of this movie are presented from the perspective of snow leopards. In my opinion, this reflects the sacredness, secularity and animality of snow leopards. These characteristics are ultimately projected onto Tibetans. The end of the film does not answer the question "Who intrudes?" world" question, but I think everyone will have their own answer after watching the movie.
Children's book writer Zhang Xuezhen:
The film "Snow Leopard" is one of the most shocking movie-watching experiences in recent years. It is very regrettable that such a talented director died so young. Overall, the movie is shot very realistically, like watching a documentary. Tibetan areas are vast and vast, and even the air is a bit wild. However, the people living in this land have simple, direct, and sincere interpersonal relationships. In the film, the snow leopard is an intruder in human secular life, and the reporter carrying a camera is an intruder in Tibetan residential areas. The narrative of the story directly echoes the theme, reflects the simple but strong emotions of the characters, and also explores divinity and humanity. Conflict - the younger brother "Snow Leopard Lama" exudes divinity beyond human nature. He firmly believes that snow leopards are spiritual animals and respects nature and all things. He even jumped into the sheepfold and tried to let it go directly; his older brother Jinba was the last one. A real ordinary person, when he learned that the snow leopard would be released, he asked a question in his soul: Who can compensate for my losses? This is real human nature.At the end of the story, his brother Jinba was temporarily suppressed, and the snow leopard was released, releasing kindness to everyone in his own way. On the surface, divinity temporarily defeated humanity, but if relevant measures are not implemented, human self will not be in harmony with nature. Reconciliation, such conflicts still cannot be resolved.
Movie fan friend from Quzhou:
From the movie "Snow Leopard", I summarized three points: the divinity of Tibet, the bloody nature of Tibetan people and the spirituality of snow leopards. Because of this movie, I thought of a story that happened to me last year. It was the Indian summer in October and the temperature was a bit high. I was doing a biodiversity survey and saw a black snake on the mountain. When I confronted it, the snake spat out a snake message at me. Generally speaking, when working in the field, we will prepare an umbrella in advance, but I didn't bring one that day, so I could only glance around to see if there were any bamboo or wooden sticks. I did spot the stick that day, but after thinking about it, I turned around and left without using the tool. Sharing this incident is to express a simple truth, that is, whether the relationship between man and nature will improve must be determined by human concepts. That is what Teacher Zhong mentioned earlier, only when people reconcile with themselves can they be reconciled. Natural reconciliation.
Parents of a third-grade child:
The child was shy just now and did not speak. He quietly told me the details he was concerned about, and I shared them objectively with everyone. The first one is the Apple mobile phone that the township chief took out in the movie. He said that he noticed that it was an iPhone 6; the second one is that when the character in the movie was eating cake, the people around him put cake on the actor's face. This may be It reminded him of scenes in real life; thirdly, after the long cast list was scrolled, he found subtitles that read "There are no animal casualties in this movie." We looked at each other and realized what we had just seen. The sheep may be a real prop that allows him to finally let go of his inner concerns about the relationship between man and nature.
