Open-air Movie Past (Medium)

At that time, there were not many films that could be screened in the countryside, and the most screened were the old three wars and one one", "Mine Warfare", "Tunnel Warfare", and "Southern Expedition and Northern War". Occasionally, there are translations and productions, but they are all films of socialist countries such as the former Soviet Union, Vietnam, and Albany, and they are all films with strong political overtones. At that time, before every feature film screening, we had to show some news categories, popular science short films, such as "News Bulletin", etc., and we called it a fake film.

I remember watching movies at that time did not care about the storyline, that is, watching hilarity, and my favorite was battle movies and anti-special films. As long as the People's Liberation Army on the screen launched a charge and blew the charge trumpet, the children below would invariably raise their arms with clenched small fists and shout loudly. Although the plot cannot be remembered, some of the classic lines in it will not be forgotten and can be flexibly applied to the usual play games. What "high" is really high. "What" the secret of the mine I poked out, did not see the devils without strings. "What" let Comrade Lenin go first! "What" Captain Zhang! Captain Zhang! Please look at the party-state, quickly stretch out your hand to pull the brothers! And so on. Sometimes in the summer, boys also use thin willow branches to prop up their hats into a big lid, glue a plant leaf full of small thorns to the neckline and shoulders, hold a small pistol wrapped in a tree, learn the appearance of a Kuomintang officer, command strangely, and shout strangely, "Fuck, for the benefit of the party-state, don't follow me!" ”。 Girls are more likely to change their hairstyles according to the hairstyle of the heroine in the movie.

Because there are too many people watching the movie, sometimes the front cannot be crowded, and those who arrive late and cannot squeeze others have to go to the back of the screen to see, but the picture is blurred and the left and right of the characters are reversed.

At that time, it was common to go to a nearby village to watch a movie, as long as there was, it was not a problem to run out for ten miles and eight miles. Sometimes I don't know who spread rumors that there is a movie in a certain village, after dinner people flock to go, when they meet the people who arrive first and then fold back, they ask if there is anything, and the people who come back will generally say, yes, the performance is standing on the ground looking at the blue sky, and also playing a white run for two and a half miles. When people knew that there was none, they all returned home sadly, scolding the rumor-mongers from time to time. (To be continued)
