probably no one can remember clearly how long we have not seen a child in the movie. When domestic films entered the era of commercial films, there were fewer and fewer types of films. A large number of commercial films are constantly flooding our original cinema chains. This makes the original niche genre movies become more and more shallow, and eventually reduced to a piece of the puzzle of commercial movies. Also lost the audience that he should have.
Our film types are becoming fewer and fewer, and more and more monotonous. Commercial films can give up too many things worth savoring for the box office. And special types of movies are gradually moving closer to commercial movies. Criminal investigation subjects, children's movies, martial arts movies, and many other types have begun to become the same. Especially children's movies, since the beginning of the 21st century, the children's movies that we can see, or that can leave a deep impression, have already been firmly controlled by the series such as "Xiangyang" and "Bears" series. Even though works such as "The Return of the Great Sage", "The Big Fish and Begonia", and "The Great Protector" appeared later, they were mostly short-lived and did not stir up too much trouble. Does
have a future for children's films? If you want to have it, there will be. And more than one type of children's film, the entire children's film can also be a hundred flowers. The premise is that we need to give children's films an opportunity. When we become less impetuous, when we sculpt stories with our hearts, when we act with emotion and sincerity. Then it can usher in a good movie. This sentence is not without examples. In 1990, nearly 30 years ago, on the eve of the Asian Games, we had such an excellent work.
"My September" is a children's movie. And it is one of the few perfect and complete children's films in the past 30 years. This film tells us a story about elementary school students. On the eve of the start of the Asian Games, a few children who were performing the important tasks were brushed down. After they learned the news, they had mixed feelings. There is a taciturn child among these children, and everyone jokingly calls him a big fool. He was often laughed at by his classmates because of his introverted personality. But in the end, relying on his unremitting efforts, he once again returned to the performing team. Since then, the child is no longer introverted, and becomes more cheerful.
For children's films, what we have always upheld is the educational significance. But for most directors, the general highlighting of educational significance will largely undermine the integrity of the film. When the audience is tired of aesthetics, films with educational significance will also be attacked. This is a difficult point to balance. Of course, there are many exceptions. Although satire and educational significance are similar, it is obvious that the former is more diverse. But in terms of broadcast effects, irony is not to be seen. This is basically equivalent to not being liked in educational meaning.
people who can do well in these points have mostly handed in good works. In the field of children's film, we can be traced back to Zhang Yuan's "Looking Beautiful" in the new century. Closer you can see the short film "Training the Rabbit" adapted from Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tale. These two works are mainly ironic, the irony of the education system, the irony of the current social environment. But although they were well received by the audience, they failed to have a profound impact. It can be seen that what everyone likes to hear is not the simple irony. Everyone has other expectations for children's movies.
If we look at this movie, our audience’s hard-to-talk problem has been solved very well. The film is not so precise and ironic, nor does it express too much in terms of educational significance. What everyone sees is nothing more than a story of how an introverted child can untie his heart step by step and finally achieve results. In the past, the failure of many children's films was that the director used his adult perspective to examine the lives of the children, which would obviously not be close to them. This film is different.
All the stories that happened in this film did not tell everyone who was right and who was wrong, but instead used an objective angle to record. The standard of judgment is truly handed over to the audience. The little boy in the film is the protagonist, and many of his behaviors will make the audience in front of the screen anxious. This feeling of hatred for iron and steel is not transmitted by the adults in the film. ThisIn this way, there is a conscience interaction between the movie and the audience. Suddenly increased the attention of the film.
Secondly, it combines a child's overcoming of his inner fear with the general environment at the time. At the same time, it reproduced the local customs of Beijing at that time. This is exactly the same as "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin". The characters presented by the director for us stand up. They are not the pride of the world, but ordinary people who are tangible and visible like our neighbors. Such a grounded character setting makes the characters in the film unusually plump. Plus the heart-warming frame of the whole story. Too much less dark side, a lot of happiness and joy. In this way, an excellent children's film, a wonderful promotional film was born.
It's just a pity. In the nearly 30 years since the film was released, there have been fewer and fewer excellent children's films. So that the film has become the highest peak. All of this may really be like the real turf on the playground at the end of the film, the era that is visible and tangible will never be seen again.
