The film Eighteen Cave Village (Excerpt)

Eighteen-hole Village mainly tells the story that veterans, with the help of the poverty alleviation task force, led the Yang brothers to make up their minds and stand firm and win a tough battle against poverty.

The specific plot: In the process of implementing the poverty alleviation policy in rural areas of Xiangxi, Hunan Province, Yang Yingjun, a veteran of the 18-hole village, and several cousins were accurately identified as poor households. Although they have different mentality, they all have the expectation of changing their destiny.

? With the help of the poverty alleviation task force, they led the Yang brothers to make up their minds, stand firm and fight a tough battle against poverty. In the process of pursuing poverty alleviation, they completed a spiritual poverty alleviation, and the villagers' concepts and lifestyles have undergone great changes.

? The film Eighteen Cave Village is based on the true story of Eighteen Cave Village. Through the changes of concepts and lifestyles of several cousins played by He Yang in the process of getting rid of poverty, the inner world of rural residents is described in poetic film language, reflecting the changes of the times.

? Miao Yue began her visit in August, 2065438+2006 in order to officially photograph the village of 18 holes. By April 28th, 20 17, in the four months after the film started shooting, the crew visited many villages in western Hunan in order to shoot the local original ecological natural landscape, and the whole crew had an "immersive" experience.

? After watching the film, many people are very curious about the 18-hole village, and they are very yearning for the natural scenery and Miao culture in the film. So what is the real 18-hole village like?

Shibadong Village is located in Huayuan County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province, in the middle of Wuling Mountains, at the junction of Hunan, Guizhou and Chongqing provinces. The village consists of 4 natural villages, 6 villagers' groups and 225 households with 939 people. It is a settlement of Miao people, with rich customs and well-preserved original ecological culture.

The natural scenery of Shibadong Village is very beautiful, including Wulong Yixiantian, Liantaishan Forest Farm, Beiershan, Huangmayan and Optimus Prime, especially the 18 caves, which are connected in series. The landscape in the cave is strange, the rocks are rugged and the expression is different. Known as "the first strange cave in Asia", Shibadong Village got its name. There are waterfalls, old vines, birds and flowers in the village, and the distant mountains and canyons echo each other from afar, and sometimes the beautiful songs of Miao sisters come out.

? The film "Eighteen-hole Village" is based on the strategy of "precise poverty alleviation" implemented by the state. By showing the great changes in the ideas and lifestyles of rural villagers in western Hunan during the implementation of the poverty alleviation policy, it reflects the collision and integration of traditional culture and modern thinking, which leads people to think deeply about how to get rid of poverty and how to really get rid of poverty. Although the protagonists in the film have different attitudes towards poverty, they are always eager to change their destiny. Determined by their hearts, stood by their words and stood by their feelings. While pursuing material poverty alleviation, they achieved spiritual poverty alleviation with their hands and childlike innocence.

? This is an unexpected work, because in all fairness, as a main theme movie, this "Eighteen Hole Village" is really different from what I expected. A work with a rural theme, the local customs of Xiangxi, the local character and nationality of the Lizu village family in Dashan, the conflict and integration between the secular and the traditional, is very natural and grounded.

Shibadong Village, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, has Wuyuan rural architectural model and Tuerling natural landscape. The opening aerial photography and macro location display, the layered terraces and endless green have been shocked by the beautiful scenery of Xiangxi. Here you can see the most authentic Miao village customs. Here, you can hardly see any modern flavor, because it is almost an isolated village with different roads and cars entering.

It is such an area that has been selected into the public list of traditional villages in China, and as the movie said, "This is a place where four natural villages merge". Now, we have to face poverty. Yes, young people go out to work, leaving old people and children behind. In this resource-poor place, they still use the oldest farming methods and run stories from generation to generation.

Here, it is not the "Peach Blossom Garden" you imagined. The content of the film is very clear, that is, the story of the 18-hole villagers getting rich, which sounds like the "main theme", but the story is not like this. Policy guidance is a clue, but the story is by no means so, because the protagonist of the film is a poor household who refuses to accept "poverty alleviation".

Yang Yingjun, played by Wang Xueyin, is a veteran, showing the military's car-scrapping in his bones. He still doesn't believe that the Miao people who rely on the fields left by their ancestors and the experience of transplanting rice can become poor households. Moreover, the film is a step-by-step description, and through flashbacks, it points out why Wang Xueyin didn't go out to fight with his comrades when he was demobilized, because he was an ignorant granddaughter, because he guarded his own soil and water, and because Miao Song survived.

He must go back to his hometown and protect the tradition. At the same time, it also describes other important roles of the Yang family, such as Jin Chen's unpretentious wife, the dumb brother who cries all day because he misses his daughter, the neighborhood where he raised four daughters, and his younger brother Yang Lan, who used to be a good prospector but now drinks all day.

These characters make up the picture of the film. Although the Miao customs are unique, poverty is * * *. At the same time, it also leads to the theme of this film: can't you really get rich by traditional farming? This is a discussion about the proposition between tradition and secularism in this film. From conflict to integration, unpretentious, poetic and delicate stories and characters are impressive, so this film reminds people of Jianqi Huo's The Mountain, the Man, the Dog.

At the same time, the "enclave" shown in the film comes from abandoned veins, which brings about thinking about environmental problems. When Yang Lan saw all that she had brought about by making a fortune by looking for mines, she was very painful on the ground, and it was so heavy.

The film has a relaxed rhythm, is realistic and delicate, and finds a balance between true stories and artistic treatment. The fullness of the role description makes the simple lens full of emotion. The villagers, led by Wang Xueyin, from transplanting rice seedlings to filling soil, the depiction of real details, coupled with the expression of picture extraction, brought perfect emotion to this film, which is a magnificent battle song of the working people.

At the same time, it is also a sincere work. The film "Eighteen Cave Village" abandons the characterization of "Gao Daquan" style, but uses plots and events to promote it layer by layer, is policy-oriented, and the villagers rely on the traditional way of life to keep pace with the times and finally realize the seamless connection with the real world.

Delicious flower fish and old rice all over the mountain. Interested friends can check the value of these two crops that can only rely on traditional farming in today's market. Who said that farming can't be a "big local tyrant"? From the opening to the later preparations, I borrowed the figure of Yang Yingjun's little granddaughter to show my emotional breakthrough. All this makes the film authentic. In today's flashy film market, this film is like a clean stream, refreshing. It turns out that the Peach Blossom Garden has always existed, in our hearts and in reality. After watching this movie, I really want to go to that quaint and beautiful place.
