When it comes to Mongolian movies, the first thing that comes to mind is the Douban high-scoring documentary "Mongolian Steppe, Sunny Weather". Japanese director Kazuya Yamada uses rough and simple images to tell the story of the family of Pujie, a grassland elf girl, who is silent and moving, tenacious but also fragile, and has touched countless people. 
Recently, a film directed and acted by a Mongolian director made people feel the steppe and the people on the steppe one step further"When the Autumn is Full of Moon".
Just seeing the title of the film, I feel that there is a picture in my mind: autumn night, people who have finished their work are sitting and talking and laughing on the grassland, a bright moon above their heads sheds a gentle light, and parting is close at hand. This feeling is like what Xiucai said on the roof in "Wulin Gaiden": "Life is very short, like a white horse passing through a gap, fleeting." But this mood is very long, like mountains and rivers, endless. ”The story of "When the Autumn Full Moon" is about fatherhood, iePaternity。Male leadTurgaLife in the city is not satisfactory, not because of financial problems, after all, you can work as a chef in a five-star hotel, and the income must be considerable. Tulga's sad thing is that his girlfriend, who originally wanted to propose, suddenly sends a voice saying that she actually has a son, and if he can accept it, then everyone will be happy; If you can't accept it, you will part ways. 
At the same time, a ** from the steppe sounded, and the young man at the other end said in his voice that Tulga's father was seriously ill and asked him to return quickly. The camera pans to the grassland: the man in ** is standing on the back of a horse and shouting at the aloft mobile phone, and if he can't hold on, he will fall down. Unlike cities with convenient life, the signal on the grassland is not good, and it takes a lot of effort to make a **. 
Even though this ** was not easy to come by, even if he heard that his father was seriously ill, Turga didn't seem to be in a hurry, but said that he was very busy. Tulga was not unfilial, and as a victim of a typical East Asian father-son relationship, Tulga was raised with a stick by his father. The son who grew up like this will inevitably usher in a defection. Although he said that he did not have time, Turga returned to the grassland, cooked for his father, who was holding on to see him, and wiped his body. The father's attitude gradually softened, and at the end of his life he began to confess to his son, asking for his forgiveness. 
Hearing this, Tulga finally couldn't help crying outside the tent. The father was actually Tulga's adoptive father, and the father and son who were not related by blood were no different from other fathers and sons in the world. 
Love and hate, guilt and forgiveness, reconciliation and loss, the most intimate relationship is also the most awkward relationship. At this point, we understand why Tulga was so distressed when he heard his girlfriend's confession. This is not only the impact of being a father, but he also realizes that he wants to re-walk his father's path. One thing that children have nothing to do is that the good and bad in their parents will always be reflected on themselves, and there is no way to avoid them. There were no weeping, and my father's funeral was silent. The story of a father who raised his son alone and a son who decided to leave is familiar to us, and life is destined to have a defection to his parents. 
Before the pain of losing his father was relieved, Tulga met another protagonist over thereTouré, a 10-year-old kid brother. His flock ate Tulga's grass, and the two quarreled with Maimang, and before the boy rode away, he scooped up a stone and smashed Turga on the head. The reconciliation also came very quickly: the little brother came handsomely and carried a jug of water for Tulga, who was mowing the lawn. 
The little brother is indeed very mature, and at an age when he can't reach the stirrups, he rides a horse and gallops across the grassland, managing a large flock of sheep. He could not only make herbs to bandage Tuga's sickle-worn hands, but also skillfully roll cigarettes for his grandfather day after day. He has no father, and his mother works outside the home all the year round and lives with his grandparents. The old couple is old, but their temperament is still like a wild horse in the grassland, and they fight each other from time to time. In such a situation, the child brother must pretend to be an old man and take on the responsibility of the family. 
At this point in the film, the director's creative purpose is also exposed: through the relationship between Tulga and the child's brother, on the one hand, Tulga can complete the role transformation from son to father; On the other hand, it also made the child brother take off his disguise and retreat from ** to the boy. 
The little brother longs for a father, and Tulga responds to that desire. The two played together, fished, and went to a children's wrestling tournament. At the meeting, the children's brother showed his might and won the first battle. Halfway through, Tulga asked the child if he wanted toys, and the child brother spoke domineeringly, "The child only plays with this garbage." As a result, the camera turned, and the kid brother was holding a toy water gun in one hand and ice cream in the other, laughing in front of the puppet show.
Of course, Brother Kid also has troubles and tempers, for example, when Tulga took him to dinner and asked him to order, he accidentally found out that Brother Kid was illiterate. The onlookers laughed, the child brother was annoyed and angry, tears came out of his eyes, turned over and galloped home, and a flock of migratory birds flew on the road.
The unhappiness at the first sight was resolved by the child brother, and this time the conflict ended with Tulga erecting a wooden tower to make it easier for people to beat **. But when the child's brother happily dialed his mother's **, the other party's tone was rusty and impatient. This Mongolian film has its templated side:Tradition and modernity, departure and returnThe theme is basically woven throughout the story. However, it is also a necessary aspect of this era. With the rapid development of science and technology, no matter what kind of environment or occupation, it is inevitable that it will be swept up by the torrent of the times, and Mongolia is no exception.
But the point of "When the Autumn is Full Moon" is not to talk about ** signals, butHow we examine and accept the encounters and separations, gains and losses in life. Blood relationship is a kind of fate, and the encounter of non-blood relationship is also a kind of fate, no matter how unwilling we are, the relationship itself has to go through changes. The little brother cried a little when Tulga left, and Tulga had to continue to return to his established life track, and both of them had to face the lingering loneliness in their lives. If separation is unavoidable, then cherishing the present is the best option.
The degree of completion of "When the Autumn Full Moon" is very high, whether it is the iron man and tender Tulga, or the little ghost and big child brother, both of them give flesh and blood to the characters with quite daily performances. The director will also be like thisRoutineBlended into the movie to the fullest. On the one hand, the film itself retains enough emotional attributes and realistic texture; On the other hand, the restrained narrative rhythm also keeps the film from entering a pretentious and embarrassing situation. In terms of photographic style, the characters are often placed in panoramic or medium grounds, allowing nature to participate in the narrative and emotional expression. This treatment avoids the suspicion that the film is reduced to a natural scenery film. All the shots are also just right to serve the plot itself. Of course, the most touching thing is the delicate forbearance in the story of the film, which is plain and simple and beautiful and long, **people's hearts, very suitable for winter**.
