在中国电影导演中,霍建起是为数不多的一直在固执地表现中国人细腻、含蓄的传统伦理观,在描述一种迥异于现代生活的诗意生活的导演。套用一句流行语就是:当整个世界不断向前、向前的时候,他却不断地提醒我们向后、向后。而在他看来,这种提醒并不是让我们回到过去——事实上,我们永远回不去了。他要提醒的是,我们在坚定地走向未来时,应该在内心保留一块纯真的角落,保留一个诗意的精神居所。那是我们童年的家园,经常回头望一望, 我们才会对生命有更多的发现。事实上,生活中的霍建起总是安静、舒展而从容。不仅是在电影中,就是在生活中的每一个细节里,他都带着那种营造诗意家园的感觉。 Among the Chinese film directors, Huo Jianqi is one of the few directors who has been stubbornly expressing the delicate and subtle traditional ethics of the Chinese and describing a poetic life that is very different from modern life. Applying a buzzword is: When the entire world keeps moving forward, he keeps reminding us to move backward and backward. And in his opinion, this reminder does not make us back to the past - in fact, we will never go back. He wishes to remind us that when we are resolutely moving toward the future, we should keep a pure corner in our hearts and preserve a poetic spiritual dwelling place. That is the home of our childhood, looking back and forth often, we will find more about life. In fact, Huo Jian always lives quiet, stretch and calm. Not only in the movie, but in every detail of his life, he carries the feeling of creating a poetic home.
