The plot of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is actually very simple.

In the early 80s, a student who graduated from high school took over the job of his father, a township postman, and on the first day of work, his father was worried that his son was not familiar with the work, so he took him away.

More than 200 miles back and forth, three days and two nights, is in the process of this road, the father and son from the father and son caused by the busy work of the father, slowly open their hearts, and finally understand each other.

Although it is about the mountain road, in fact, it is about the heart of the father and son.

Along the way, the father and son went from strangeness to understanding, from resentment to understanding, completing the transformation of the relationship, allowing the son to understand the road his father has walked in the past 20 years.

More importantly, the hearts of the father and son finally came together, with a common language, and a deeper affection for each other.

Don't look at the short process, in fact, many emotional transformations are only so short-lived, because of one thing, because of a certain sentence, because of a person.

In the end, stepping on the morning sun, the son embarked on the same path as his father.

Although the story is simple, it is a father-son relationship that everyone will encounter, but it happens to them that they can't let go of and longs for.

When Ning Yuan watched this film in his previous life, the travel speed of the whole movie was very soothing, there was a dialogue without a match, the sound of stumbling footsteps, and sometimes from time to time I heard gurgling water, insects and birds, and even the occasional two dog barks, all of which are interesting and vivid in the language of the movie.

Whether it is the picture or the expression it wants to express, it is a kind of warm power that is not in a hurry, or a soft stream like a stream.

Green rubber shoes, coarse cloth trousers and a belt made of rope, and a hat, and the big yellow dog.

The primitive mountains and simple lines make everything seem so simple and natural, so that the audience does not feel the narrative, just like a documentary.

Because Huo Jianqi was born in film art, under his helm, the landscape and countryside in Xiangxi have also become charming - although it is already beautiful, it is even more beautiful through his hands.

Early in the morning, it was just dawning.

Because of the time and light, today's shooting plan is to shoot outdoors first.

Ning Yuan, who was carrying a large mail bag, walked out of the door in the morning light and walked to the ridge outside the door.

At this moment, the mother, who was wearing a blue cloth and white flower gown, chased her out of the house:

"Son, wait a minute, your dad is going to go with you. ”

As she spoke, her father, who was wearing a hat and a bamboo cane and a white sweatshirt, was dressed in a coarse cloth coat as he straightened her clothes and passed by her.

He didn't say a word, just like he usually looked like he was silent.

And in the next shot, Ning Yuan turned around and looked back and shouted:

"Mom, if you have something, look for Xu Wanchang, I entrusted him. ”

Just like every child who goes out, the mother admonishes, and the child's heart is jubilant.

At this time, Ning Yuan's performance was the result of his speculation and experimentation many times, and he also showed it to Teng Rujun.

Excited and subtle, his voice raised slightly, and it was not like Liu Ye who took it back then, but the effect was more appropriate.

After finishing speaking, Ning Yuan turned around and left again, while his mother still shouted:

"Be careful on the road and don't drink dirty water. ”

Ning Yuan turned around again and waved his hand: "Mom, go back!"

In a few simple words, the state of mind of the mother and son at this time is portrayed.

A worried worry, a flight of thoughts, collide with the daily life of parents and children in every family at present.

At this time, his father, who had caught up with Ning Yuan, also began to enter the mirror.

It's very coincidental, and of course it's normal, the rooster crows, mixed with the sound of them walking fast, and in the director's monitor, the picture and scene seem to be more lively.

After a short break, and adjusting the camera position, I shot another shot.

Teng Rujun looked back at Zhao Xiuli, then turned back to look at Ning Yuan's back, and muttered angrily:

"Mom, Mom...... Kiss!"

This is Su Xiaowei's screenwriting skills, a few words, which make the relationship between father and son come to life.

At a glance, I am dissatisfied with the reluctance of the two of you to come and go: long-winded!

In fact, it was the father who was jealous.

Of course, this is also a reflection of careful observation of life, and when the father sees his wife and son close, he naturally feels unhappy.

It is through these small details that the screenwriter silently reflects the estrangement of the relationship between the two.

Father and son and mother and son feel different, even Ning Yuan, who has never enjoyed maternal love since he was a child, found through his own feelings, other people's descriptions, and the TV movies in the book that he can talk about everything about his mother, but he is silent about his father.

It's like the joke, if you look for your mother for any problem, even if you look for your dad one day, it's just a question: "Dad, where is my mother?"

In the film, as a postman's father, he is away all the year round, and the child often can't see his father, and the relationship is naturally unfamiliar, even if he has time at home, if he encounters the child who is naughty or does not do his homework well, education is inevitable, which naturally arouses the child's awe or alienation.

Not only here, but in the process of walking on the road and the two delivering the letter together, it can be seen that the communication and exchange between the two are relatively poor.

The son walked all the way, listening to the radio hanging on the parcel and singing along, and the father said angrily: "You look at the foot of the road, be careful, this is a mountain road, it's very dangerous!"

The son hated his father's chatter and ignored it.

But after walking for a while, the son suddenly turned his head, but found that there was no one behind him, and he panicked.

How calm can he be a high school graduate?

I walked forward for a short while, turned back one step at a time, and still didn't catch up, so I immediately put down the parcel and ran back!

The camera followed him, swaying left and right for a while, but only saw the second dog, and his father was still nowhere to be seen.

The dog couldn't speak, only pointed at his waist and tail, and the son's heart was even more panicked.

When he was at a loss, my father came out from behind the woods, carrying his belt.

Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at that time.

At this time, Ning Yuan did not show happiness, but frowned dissatisfiedly, worried that blame would naturally arise later, but he didn't say anything.

There is no need for words to draw a snake, the audience can understand it at a glance, because this is the attitude of children towards their parents.

But my father was not happy: Why did you put the parcel on the ground? What are we doing? What should we do if we lose the parcel?

Being reprimanded by his father like this, Ning Yuan panicked again, and ran back with the camera shaking all the way.

At this time, Huo Jianqi did not repeat this process, but planned to show it through a voiceover of Ning Yuan:

"Although I didn't lose the parcel, my dad still lost his temper, I really didn't see him in such a hurry, and I'm still quite afraid of him until now. ”

is another sentence that summarizes the relationship between father and son in the first ten years, there is no closeness, only awe and estrangement.
