Old Rural Movies from the 70s and 80s

Hello everyone, today I'd like to share with you three old classic rural movies from the 70s and 80s.

One, "Sweet Cause"

This movie is really simple, yet it also makes people feel very beautiful. It is set in the countryside and shows the life in the countryside and the change of people's thinking at that time, which really makes people sigh with the passage of time and the change of times!

Director Tim Hsieh was very thoughtful, and he chose this as the entry point for his in-depth research and interviews, which revealed that the feudal idea of "male superiority over female" still existed in the countryside at that time. He has a light-hearted and humorous way of expressing his thoughts, which he incorporates into a lively and entertaining plot, which is really entertaining and educational!

The performances of the actors were also particularly successful, especially Ma Lin and Li Xiuming, whose natural and smooth performance in front of the camera was subtle and evocative. Especially Lee Soo-myung, her smile is brighter than sunshine, it's really heartwarming!

The movie also left a lot of good memories, such as those moving interludes, the shot of Wubao chasing Zhaodi, and the flowing red scarf, which are hard to forget. People in that era were really simple, everyone presented a positive, optimistic and vigorous spirit, which was really enviable!

The writer and director of this movie are both "novices", but they really put their heart into everything they do. It was the first time for scriptwriter Xin Xianling to write a movie script, and the first time for director Zhao Huanzhang to direct a movie on his own, but they really managed to get close to life and highlight the reality.

The movie is really full of festive atmosphere, especially those audience's laughter! Moreover, this movie even won the Best Feature Film Award at the Fifth Hundred Flowers Awards and the Honorable Mention at the Second Golden Rooster Awards! Yang Shaomu also won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Music!

In retrospect, this movie is really a classic! The distinctive characters, vivid language, humorous style and music full of local flavor are unforgettable. Moreover, young people nowadays look back at this movie and are full of praise!

I think ah, nowadays the movie workers should learn from these old generation of filmmakers, to do a good job with every movie, let the audience feel the sincerity and heart. Only in this way can our movies truly become classics and stand the test of time.

Three, "The Laughter of the Moon Bay"

This movie's directing technique is very real, and the actors' performances are also very real. The contents shown in the movie are things that we often encounter in our lives, so everyone feels very close to each other when they watch this movie.

Another success of this movie is the choice of actors. Especially Zhang Yan and Zhong Xinghuo, two veteran actors, their performances simply "brought to life" the image of farmers.

Zhang Yan, the actor, is really great. He is very familiar with and understands the rural life, and in order to play the role of Jiang Yaofu well, he went into the countryside again and stayed in the villagers' houses to feel and experience the psychological state of the characters in the real environment. In the performance, he also abandoned many techniques, but from life, real reproduction of the character's emotions.

There are several scenes in the movie that are unforgettable, such as the fearfulness of Uncle Baofu when he was listening to the lecture, and the grief and despair when he was cutting down the tree, all of which were brought out by Zhang Yan through his evocative performance. The effect of ****ing with the audience was achieved. Zhang Yan's simple appearance and slightly naive character also helped him to portray the role of Jiang Rongfu. So much so that when he appeared on the set with makeup, many local villagers thought he was a real old farmer.

Zhong Xinghuo has acted in many rural dramas, and "Li Shuangshuang" is one of them. His portrayal of Brother Xiwang has become a classic screen image. It is reasonable to say that acting as a rural person is something he can do hand in hand for him. However, in Laughter at Moon Bay, he has taken a rigorous creative approach to portraying a farmer who is very different from Brother Xiwang. Through his exquisite performance, he brought Qingliang, a narrow-eyed, soft-boned "wallflower", to life and left a deep impression on the audience.

Because of the success of "The Laughter of Moon Bay," Shanghai Film Studio produced "The Storm of Moon Bay" in 1984, directed by Zhong Shuhuang and starring Zhang Yan and Zhong Xinghuo, which was also very popular. The movie also has a current Douban rating of 7.6 yet!
