At the end of life, building one's own tomb is the tradition of this small village. Due to the relationship between the new crown pneumonia, the family just had the opportunity to start building the tombs of the grandfather and the mother-in-law during the Chinese New Year. In this way, the memories of the whole family were built, and the story of the whole small village was slowly told. And what about our tomb? It seems that it is also being constructed invisibly...

Fortunately, there is still a connection with the director of He Ren in China today, and I am more aware of his original intention of making this film. In fact, I think he made this film and I was participating in the robbery troupe's "207 AD." 〇: Memoirs of Hsinchu" ( [Exhibition] [Hsinchu County. Zhubei] 2020 Xinxiang Art Season: 2070 AD - Memoirs of Hsinchu (2070, Memoirs of Hsinchu) - The first time I participated in the workshop, the first time I made it One exhibition ) The idea of creating this film is very similar to this film. In fact, the director looks back at the small village where he was born, and re-experiences each of us. The composition of our personality and the formation of values are often determined by what we are. The place where we grew up, and this family, this small village, is the place where we were born. Although we think everything is natural, it is an illusion. There are many extraordinary things in it.

The new crown pneumonia has brought the family together

The propaganda of the new crown pneumonia (Wuhan pneumonia) constantly appeared in the play. Although this was news during the New Year period from the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020, it has now become old news, just like the tomb that is being built throughout the whole film. Many things are happening to us now. , is thus constructed

At the symposium after the play, the director also bluntly said that if it weren't for the new crown pneumonia, it would not have led to the production of this film. , In order to pass the time, we can start to build the tombs of the father and mother.

Building tombs, maybe from the moment we were born

The tradition of this small village is to build one's own tomb before leaving

The director used a lot of stories of Xiaocun as interspersed. On the one hand, he kept these things in Xiaocun. On the other hand, this is actually something "covered" in our life. Being a part of us is like a part of it. Soil and bricks are constructed through everyone's "existence", so it is not only a building, but also the most interesting memory. Even the broadcast of the new crown pneumonia seems to have become part of the tomb and was constructed in it.

And when the tomb was built, following the story of the father and mother, it seemed that they ran out like this, fused with the present, and constantly intertwined into the tomb, didn't we?
In fact, after we are born, we continue to build our story, just like building our tomb again, until the moment we take our last breath! The tomb was also covered at that moment, ready to move in

The story of the small village exists in the hearts of the locals

At this time, I went back to myself to create "AD 2070: Memoirs of Hsinchu". I met a group of Hsinchu people who were also born and raised in Hsinchu, and recalled many memories of old Hsinchu, which really only belongs to those who grew up in this land. People's is real and special because it's something no one else can insert

As I talked, I remembered Takenaka's legendary robbing lunch

Some are not really recorded with images, they can only be stored in the heart, and it is difficult to recover. I am very happy. With the development of mobile phones now, we can really record with mobile phones very easily, but we really have a good record of our family members. our living environment?

Everything really seems too ordinary, so ordinary that we ignore its existence until we look back and find out that everything that has disappeared is the most important thing. It is more worthy of us than the amazing images that are glimpsed. record it well

postscript

The shooting of this film is actually very straightforward. You and I can usually shoot it, but the director told the whole story very well through the use of editing.

Personally, my favorite clip is when the director started from the built tomb on the opposite mountain, and slowly shot the entire small village where he was located.
How long has it been since I had a good chat with my family about this family's story?
Take the time to record as much as you can!
When it's all over, it's too late!
