Seeking drama

William, the cavalry colonel, is tired of war. He took his family to the western wilderness and cultivated pastures in a remote mountainous area. The colonel's wife abandoned her husband and children and returned to the east because she couldn't stand the harsh environment. Colonel William shouldered the burden of raising three sons alone.

The three brothers grew up in a difficult environment. They are like brothers, but they have different personalities. Brother Alfred is honest and dutiful; The third brother Samuel is an idealist and deeply loved by his father. Tristan, the second child, is a wild and unruly person. He is free and unrestrained, often associates with Indians and learns a lot from them. Father and son live a cold life in a pure male world.

However, after Samuel graduated from university, he brought his fiancee Susanna home. The quiet life was broken. Alfred had a crush on Susanna, but Tristan's temperament touched Susanna's heart. Four young people painfully suppressed their feelings.

Just then, the first world war broke out. The three brothers joined the army and went to Europe despite their father's dissuasion. During the war, Tristan watched Samuel die, but there was nothing he could do. Tristan, who was infinitely sad, dug out his brother's heart in the Indian way and took it back to his motherland for burial.

Alfred left his hometown after his proposal to Susanna was rejected. The shadow of his brother's death also made Tristan unable to face his beloved Susanna. Tristan also ran away from home and was never heard from again. Time passes in painful waiting. Susanna was disheartened and finally agreed to marry Alfred.

At this time, the colonel unfortunately suffered a stroke, and Tristan, who had been wandering for many years, returned home at this time. He has suffered a lot in these years. After he came back, he got married and had children, and wanted to live a quiet life. Everything seems to have ended peacefully. However, on his way back to the city, his wife was unfortunately killed, which once again ignited the restless fire in his heart.

Susanna has always felt deeply guilty about Samuel, and now Tristan's wife's death has brought him great pain. She couldn't stand such torture and committed suicide. Tristan has put aside everything at this time, and finally got revenge with the help of his father and eldest brother Alfred.

Tristan lived a hard life again. He lived a long time. He personally sent his father away and watched the children get married and have children. He was killed by the bear's paw in a fierce battle with the bear in the 1960s. His death was heroic.

The position of film history

Magnificent pictures of the American west; A classic aesthetic film; A classic full of warmth and masculinity; It's like an adult fairy tale; A great epic that records the scenery in the west; The spirit of "independent film" of innovation and change.

The vast and rugged primitive wilderness, majestic and natural music and sincere and fearless courage have all performed an exciting "Burning Years". It is a sad and sad love tragedy, a magnificent picture of the American west, and a legend of the son of nature.

Many filmmakers, with their love and dedication to movies, have found a new way for the declining western movies and set a shining example. The Burning Years of Love has written a perfect epic of human nature with broad mind, profound artistic conception and superb techniques. It has no iron horse, but it has a detached spirit, no invulnerability, but flesh and blood, but it is more affectionate and sincere without courage and loyalty! The spiritual realm it expresses can arouse worldwide fame and universal recognition, and it is a rare excellent work to promote the true feelings of the world and the unity of man and nature.

In james horner's carefully crafted music, the master score and the narration of the main characters slowly promote the plot. The photographer's unconstrained style and Brad Pitt's iconic unruly eyes make the whole movie look like a beautiful lyric prose, and our thoughts seem to float to the mountains in the western United States in an instant, wholeheartedly following the characters in the film.

Comments from all sides

This is a classic aestheticism film. I am crazy about Irish music, and I like the melancholy and desolate atmosphere. This form will not fade or deteriorate over time. Different from other composers, I regard composition not as a job, but as an art, so I gave it the most expressive voice in Burning Years.

-james horner, the most famous musician in Hollywood.

When we were discussing this film, we remembered that the burden of family can carry a boat or capsize it, because of the depth and love of the soul, and the brotherhood is fragmented because of the struggle for rights; In addition, we thought about the relationship between man and land; In a word, I try my best to show my experience and feelings in reading novels.

I have always thought that most of the roles I have played can be played by more suitable people, but for the role of Tristan, I know I am the best candidate. From the first time I saw the script, I knew I knew his behavior, his mentality, and my challenge was how to make the audience agree with me.

Wonderful film review

▲ A soul that refuses to rest.

There is a wide river on the grassland, which has flowed quietly for several years, but no one has seen the torrent and undercurrent under the calm water. Perhaps there is a kind of person whose life is destined to be a wandering life. All this is because of the boiling blood in their bodies, because of their restless souls, and because they dare to put the most real ideas in the essence of life into practice. In the film, the old Indian man stabbed: "I know someone in this world can hear his own voice." Tristan is really a lucky man.

This is a young man who grew up under the education of soldiers and hunters. He inherited the excellent qualities of his father, Colonel William, and the wise men of India. He cut off the toe of a big bear when he was young. In the fight with the bear, his blood was mixed with the bear's blood. Since then, a great desire to conquer has dominated everything.

Tristan is wild by nature and goes his own way. He tried his best to challenge himself and society. In him, there is the power that may erupt at any time and place, that is, the power to conquer nature and serve himself. This power runs through the hero's life, and when the years go by and the Sri Lankan people go away, they finally complete the initial prediction and the final theme.

Tristan is innocent, too. He has no intention to show us his true feelings. In fact, he has an unpolluted heart. His heart is unpolluted, so he has nothing to trip over. He has a pure heart and fiery emotions, so he can fall in love with his younger brother's fiancee Susan without scruple, so he is loved and worshipped by people. If you love that day, that place, that wilderness, that unrestrained nature, then you will

Love Tristan, because he is like this world, this wilderness, this nature, almost sincere and rough, with tenacious vitality and strong power that people admire. Like the wind, it has no fixed shape; Like rain, selfless and fearless to the earth; Like a fire, you burn yourself without hesitation.

Tristan is still lonely, and loneliness in the passionate years is another extreme manifestation. From the beginning, the film puts loneliness into the picture, Tristan's lonely eyes, lonely hugs, lonely figures, lonely passions, and-he left his family alone and went to death alone.

At the end of the film, a thorn of wisdom like an angel of God sums up Tristan's life: "Everyone who loved him died young. He is a stone, and he hedges with them, no matter how much he wants to protect them. He died in September of 1963, when the moon was full in autumn. The last place he went was in the north, where there were many animals to kill. His grave is unmarked, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, he often lives on the edge, between this life and the afterlife. "

▲ It is your regret to miss it.

Years of Burning Love tells a beautiful and touching love story. On the surface, it seems to be an old-fashioned romantic film full of romance and sadness. However, when we go deep into it, we find that it almost completely abandons the Hollywood-style model, giving people a conservative, trite and vulgar feeling. Through the eyes of an immigrant family and an Indian "sage" who was almost wiped out by the whole army, observing the contemporary history of the United States in the past 1 century, the mainstream consciousness of society, politics, economy, ethnic policy, culture, marriage and love covers almost all aspects of contemporary society, and the films are openly critical.

In the depiction of human nature, the film has been carefully carved. In the contradictory struggle between love and affection, reason and desire, several young people are suffering in pain. They look so meaningless and helpless. Sometimes, they are more like a boat shivering in the raging sea, turning helplessly in the torrent of human nature.

On the color palette of the film, the colors are so rich, the beauty of nature is refreshing, the details are very detailed, and the emotional colors are rich and delicate. Affection, lust, suffering, reconciliation, resentment, death, tears ... affectionate people and things, like a dream, I have loved, hated and missed. In the end, my spirit was hard to calm down, leaving only 10 thousand feelings and bitterness. In a genre painting of the times, several unlucky lovers sang songs, thought about folk songs and sighed.

The music of the film is also unique and full of tension. In the film, james horner, a master musician, used the ancient and profound Japanese Dong Xiao instrument to create the image of the hero, which is as unpredictable as legend, wild, angry and natural. Sometimes wild, sometimes erratic, sometimes sad, sometimes thoughtful. It can be said that this is Horner's most impressive performance. The music theme of the whole movie, from elegance to grief and indignation, is exquisite and beautiful, interwoven with carefree and exciting movements, giving the movie a vivid interpretation.

Epic plot, intoxicating music, wonderful performances and vivid photography are perfectly integrated in this film, creating an eternal classic.

After watching this movie, did you get any enlightenment-there is no terror in the viciousness of life, no sorrow and indignation in the loneliness of life, no regret in the indulgence of life, and the pain of life has nothing to do with burial. The key is: even in the dark night that has never been noticed, have you ever burned emotionally, like the soul that refuses to rest, in order to thank this short time?

Attachment: This film won the 67th academy award for best cinematography.
