Music is played in a variety of ways, which perfectly combines eastern and western musical instruments: the symphony played by the Northwest Symphony Orchestra, China's piano, erhu, pipa and Yang Qin. In the climax of the first song, you can hear the violin on the left and the pipa on the right, which reflect each other. The words on the cover of the album are not only for us who love music, but also for us who are descendants of the Chinese people: in distant China, there are three sisters, one who loves money, one who loves power and one who is patriotic. ...
This story, these legends, is very attractive. Now it has been made into a movie, which has attracted a certain degree of attention from preparation to shooting, from shooting to getting the above picture. Jiang Wen plays Song's father, Song Charlie, Song's mother and Sun Yat-sen respectively. Look at this lineup and you will know that it is not easy. Aside from political and historical factors, this is actually a rare good film. The movie is very long, but no one will be bored. The lives of the three sisters and some changes in China are presented in this two-and-a-half-hour movie. Jiang Wen's acting skills are great, Vivian Wu's eyes are vivid, Maggie Cheung plays very hard, Yang Ziqiong plays very well, and Sun Yat-sen in Zhao Wenxuan is also good. Such a "big" movie can't be finished in a few words. If you are interested in the history of China, if you are interested in these three legendary sisters, and if you haven't seen oriental blockbusters for a long time, you shouldn't miss the Song Dynasty.
Kitaro's music has greatly promoted the plot of the whole movie. Sometimes graceful and tactful, and sometimes magnificent, which brings people a shock beyond words. It can be seen that excellent soundtrack is very important to the success of a movie.
If "Heaven and Earth" is Kitaro's first attempt to combine western orchestral music with China folk music, and achieved good results, then the film soundtrack of "Song" is Kitaro's masterpiece of perfect integration in these aspects. The music of this film has become a classic, and the mode of Chinese folk music is very different from that of western orchestral music. It is difficult for these two different styles of music to combine seamlessly, but Kitaro did it. Like Heaven and Earth, this album, which won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award and the Hong Kong Academy Award in succession, is the perfect cooperation between Kitaro and Rand ymiller.
-Some netizens commented on the music of this movie:
It's always cloudy recently, which makes people breathless. I can't tell whether it is night or morning outside in the house because I want to turn on the light. Vaguely, I heard Kitaro's Song Dynasty. After a piece of oriental percussion led the way, the piano played alone, just like a witness who saw through history, pouring out his sadness. Intoxicated, I reached out to turn on the light and knocked over my favorite vase. The light is on, and there are blue fragments everywhere. ...
The tenth sentence "Sun Wen's last words" impressed me deeply:
During the snowstorm, Dr. Sun Yat-sen left his last words that "the revolution has not been successful yet, and all comrades still need to continue to work hard", as well as an unforgettable conversation with Soong Ching Ling:
(Music lasts until 0: 30)
Song: Well, just the two of us.
Sun: I'm afraid you'll be left alone in the end ... Qing Ling, do you know? ... the only time in my life ... I put my heart into it ... the only time ... was when I got engaged to you in private ... I left you nothing ... only some books and the house they gave me.
Song: And!
Sun: ... number
Song: There is still your blood in the book and your memories in the house.
Sun: ... Outside ... My dream.
Song: That's enough.
Sun: Yes ... I'll give you this house ... with memories inside and dreams outside.
(Music lasts until two o'clock)
I can't forget that at the end of the film, Song Meiling kept crying, and tears dripped on the title page of the Bible. It was originally a picture, and Jesus was crucified, but two lines slowly emerged from the place wet with tears:
Love is revolution, and revolution is love.
It's a pity that Chiang Kai-shek has read this book countless times, but failed to find the mystery.
The above is based on the special topics of Kitaro and other materials in the album "Beautiful Elements". The original creator was also the Imagi Hongyi Fast Green Forum.
