, there is such a wrong time: full of darkness and greed, anxiety and restlessness, crazy desire blinded people's eyes. However, director Jiang Wen showed us another style of this era with a "Sunny Day", using a variety of artistic techniques to portray the bright and bright youth and the bright sorrow of the burning years.
directed by Jiang Wen, starring Xia Yu and tranquility, caused quite a stir in the Chinese film scene at that time. The film tells the youth experience of a group of teenagers represented by Ma Xiaojun in Beijing during the "Cultural Revolution", especially the ambiguous feelings between Ma Xiaojun and Milan. The whole film of
has a faint yellow tone, which is also a major feature of the film and is often praised. The story takes place in the summer, and the bright sunlight naturally runs through the film. It is also a perfect interpretation of the film’s English name "In the Heat of the Sun". In the film, when Milan finishes washing his hair and sitting with Ma Xiaojun by the window, strong sunlight shines through the window, blurring the outlines of the two of them, and the backlight shooting makes the whole picture in a hazy state. This is not only a metaphor for the relationship between the characters, but also fits the theme of the film. And in the scene where Ma Xiaojun sent Milan back to the farm, the brilliant sun was gradually shed from the gaps in the woods, and the outlines of the two people's sides were clearly identifiable, which produced a huge visual impact that made the audience unable to help but enter. Play, experience the beauty of youth. In the film
, Jiang Wen's penetrating narration appears from time to time. At the beginning of the film, the narration not only sets up suspense, but also explains the background of the story. In the film, the narration not only explains the storyline, but also promotes the development of the storyline. This has to be said to be a highlight of the film. For example, when narrating what happened on the birthdays of Ma Xiaojun and Liu Yiku, the narration contradicts itself, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. In fact, this is exactly one way Jiang Wen tells the story. The narration appears as a reminiscence narrative, and the confusion of memories reflects the ambiguity of the story, which achieves the director's purpose of expressing the theme of "youth is bright and confused". The use of music in the film
also shows the director's skill. From the music at the beginning to the melodious flute at the end, the music that appears in the film is either cheerful, bright or high-pitched, which plays an important role in the narrative of the film. The music of the film is full of distinctive characteristics of the times, which makes the background of the film self-evident. Russian music, such as "Katyusha" and "Night in the Outskirts of Moscow", not only closely follows the background of the times, but also exaggerates the atmosphere of the film and expresses the emotions of the characters.
At the same time, every inadvertent encounter between Ma Xiaojun and Milan in the film is accompanied by a piece of music without lyrics, which is soothing, melodious and delicate, which truly reflects Ma Xiaojun’s psychological changes and complements the bright pictures, allowing the audience to experience the heat of youth .
This "Sunny Day" is Jiang Wen's debut, and many places deserve to be savoured. For example, character psychology, camera movement and transitions, etc., have a solid foundation and are a well-deserved classic. As a classic portraying a typical age and youth story, "Sunny Days" shocked the Chinese film world, letting people remember that period of youthful history, that period of indescribable burning years.
