The curve of the water bank and the leap in depth of the bridge give us the visual beauty of vertical and horizontal in the natural landscape, and we seem to have found the eternal connection of human beings. Indeed, there are so many rivers on our earth, I can't imagine the plight of losing water and bridges. So, I found the cinematic memory of bridges in this "vertical and horizontal" image.
There are two wonders of bridges in the world: one is the Bittreus Grand Canyon between the Alzette River and the Petrus River in Luxembourg. There are more than 100 bridges, and there are the most beautiful bridges in Europe. I passed by at the Frankfurt Book Fair. I was fortunate to see it; the other is Taishun in southern Zhejiang, China, with more than 100 covered bridges, a museum of covered bridges in the world, such as Sixi Bridge, Wenxing Bridge, and Sister Bridge, which are the most beautiful in China. bridge. There are innumerable beautiful bridges in the world, which will naturally make interesting films.
In the hands of film directors, the bridge is a symbol, a hint, a memory, a symbol, or even a dream.
Speaking of bridges, the fastest thing that pops out of your memory is the movie "Blue Bridge" (1940), a very poignantly translated name with Chinese elements. A great love is lost and found, and the bridge connects the two points of the river and the two hearts of people on the earth into a line.
——The river is the barrier, the bridge and the boat are the connection and rationalize its natural structure.
When the two young lovers parted, the bridge became the connection "on the water side". At this time, the parting was shrouded in the smoke of war, which made the bridge even more miserable. The sad song in "Blue Bridge" You must remember, there is also Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor's precise interpretation of the plot. The "Blue Bridge" is named "Waterloo Bridge", where the officer Roy and his lover Mara carried out a tragedy to the end.
From "Blue Bridge" to "Covered Bridge", in the film vision, the bridge has always told a touching love story. Actor Eastwood and Meryl Streep co-designed the American version of the poignant "Covered Bridge" vision, "The Covered Bridge" (1995). Beginning with a beautiful note on the railing of the covered bridge, "When moths flutter their wings..." A poem by Irish poet Yeats almost changed the lives of two middle-aged men and women. The story takes place in the summer of 1965. Robert Kincaid, a photographer for National Geographic magazine, and Francesca, a country housewife immigrated from Italy, who are full of fantasy and poetry, had an extramarital affair for 4 days, and finally disappeared in the torrential rain. In , Robert Kincaid did not take the woman he fell in love with at first sight in the end, and did not complete the gorgeous crossing at both ends of the river. The bridge in the hearts of the two middle-aged people collapsed just after being erected. There is a scene in the film that the audience remembers deeply: in the heavy rain, Francesca clutched the door handle tightly in her husband's car, her hand tightened and then released, and then tightened. There is clearly a necklace that Francesca gave to Kincaid. Opening her car door means leaving her husband forever — she loves Bari, Italy, and married the American soldier abroad — and her two lovely children. The ethical values and emotional balance of middle-aged people made her hesitantly and hesitantly, staring straight at the passing car. In 4 days, a middle-aged man and woman quickly fell in love and left reluctantly. Francesca left a will and scatters her ashes on Madison Bridge after her death. This kind of love belongs to the emotionally obsessed world of the 1960s, forever frozen in the wilds of the American West.
- We remember the name of the covered bridge: "Madison Bridge". Robert Kincaid drove a dark green "pickup" in the beautiful and undulating countryside of Iowa, just like the rainy lane with an oil-paper umbrella, and met a woman who was cherished for four days. When filming the scene of "Parting in the Rain", the cast, staff and audience present were moved to tears. Writer Zhao Mei once witnessed the scene, and she wrote a very beautiful essay. Robert Kincaid left Francesca a box of relics, including two Nikon F cameras, which were almost synonymous with professional cameras throughout the 1960s. Kincaid used it to photograph Madison Bridge and Francesca's beautiful smile, and Meryl Streep performed the middle-aged woman's charm, simplicity and health so perfectly. Some say Meryl Streep has three great roles in her films: Sarah ("The French Lieutenant's Woman"), Sophie ("Sophie's Choice") and Francesca ("The Bridge's Leftovers") "Dream"), performing these three roles, she has a textbook-like performance.
In fact, there are countless covered bridges in our country, both for sheltering from the wind and rain, and for men and women to gather together. It is natural to talk about love. The love story about the bridge also includes the film "Lovers in the New Bridge" (1992), which is the most invested romantic film in the history of French cinema. Juliette Binoche gave us a wonderful artistic vision.
It is the Japanese director Imamura Shohei who can't imitate or copy "Bridge" to the extreme. The two-time Cannes Palme d'Or winner has directed the film "The Warm Current under the Red Bridge" (2001), and he wrote a great hymn to life.
The red bridge is a red bridge, a symbol of life, there is water under the red bridge, and women are made of water, the source of life. You see, there are fish in the water, aquatic plants, moss on the shore, a world of water, a world of dampness, and dampness has the vitality of life and is a breeding ground for the growth of life.
"The Warm Current Under the Red Bridge" is a visually beautiful and erotically bold film. Masahiro Imamura is usually 76 years old. His exaggerated technique of "Yanshan Snowflakes are as big as a seat" pushes the greatness of motherhood to the extreme. The film depicts that when a woman has sex, her bodily fluids will miraculously spew like a beautiful fountain, often drawing a rainbow-like bridge across the happy blue sky under the sun. Imamura Shohei greatly exaggerated the natural power of human beings—the reproductive power of women, full of the beauty of a primitive power. The river flows slowly under the red bridge, the fish swim in the water, the bridge is male, red and dignified; the water is female, white and crystal clear, the bridge and the water constitute the two poles in a harmonious life, and the greatness of motherhood nourishes our everything. Yakusho Koji and Shimizu Misa, the two actors who worked together well in the movie "The Eel" (1997), performed naturally and smoothly. The French Impressionist master Monet has an oil painting "Japanese Bridge". The composition of water and bridge is also full of red elements, which makes people feel the vitality of life. I wonder if Imamura Changhei studied this work.
In fact, the bridge is a symbol. Like "The Warm Current Under the Red Bridge", a certain name of many literary and film and television works has become a specific designation, such as - Cassandra (ancient Greek mythology) (the movie "Cassandra Bridge"), Fox River Prison (TV series "Prison Break"), Gulag Islands (novel "Gulag Islands"), Cayan Forest (movie "Katyn Massacre"), Madison Bridge (movie "Last Dreams of Covered Bridge").
The era of cold weapons has long passed, and gunpowder weapons seem to be no longer brave, so war madmen began to develop more powerful biochemical weapons. Of course, if there is a chance of exposure, they will stop it at all costs. The movie "Cassandra Bridge" tells such a story. Two terrorists tried to blow up the World Health Organization's experimental centre in Geneva, smashing a test tube containing pneumonic plague bacteria in a fight with police, in which X was infected - and escaped on a train bound for Stockholm. In order to prevent the spread of bacteria, high-level executives ordered trains to be diverted to the dilapidated Cassandra Bridge in the Polish exclusion zone, creating a rollover accident to cover up the truth. This is a typical Cold War narrative. Fortunately, the doctor on the train, Chamberlain, led the passengers and soldiers to fight, and in the end most of them escaped the danger. It alludes to death, fear and hell. Getting out of hell and saving lives is a stark theme of the film.
The bridge, in the movie, is more of the impact point of the war, "Flying the Luding Bridge" (China), "The Bridge" (Yugoslavia), "Surprise" (China), "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (UK), " The Distant Bridge (USA), and The Last Bridge are both war-themed films with grand and often tragic scenes. This is again one of the better classified films in "Bridge". Among them, the film "Distant Bridge" with the theme of "World War II", I really admire the Americans' interpretation of a battle that was defeated by German soldiers. The American soldiers who suffered heavy casualties did not occupy the bridge guarded by German soldiers on the Rhine River. At the end of the film It was the Germans who handed over the prisoners of war to the Americans very kindly. And "The Last Bridge" tells that on the eve of Germany's defeat, there was a shortage of troops. A group of teenage children were sent to the battlefield to "defend the family and the country". Relentless strangulation.
When we retrieve a category of movies from the movie library, it is equivalent to putting a category of items in a basket, and you will find the interest in it when you fiddle.
