I will never be stingy with my love for wa. After watching the film, I seem to have a spiritual journey through Darjeeling with the three brothers.
This film tells the story of three brothers with different personalities who despise each other and find their mother thousands of miles in India under the flicker of the elder brother Spirit Journey. Most of wa's films are related to the keywords of retro, childhood, and exoticism. I have always thought that his way of telling stories is very advanced, coupled with his iconic retro filters and stylized photography methods, it is really difficult not to love.
Darjeeling adopts a single-line narrative method, the story line is a series of events that happened on the three brothers' spiritual journey, and the content of the father's funeral a year ago is interspersed near the end. Two deaths, the sudden death of the father and the death of the Indian child formed an echo. Taking the child's funeral as a node, the plot is just halfway through. In the first half of the plot, the three brothers dislike each other and all kinds of misunderstandings gradually ease after the funeral. The true connotation of the spiritual journey seems to be finally understood by the three.
What exactly does a dead person bring to people? Is this really used to exhort living people to cherish each other and even seek out the kinship that they have never enjoyed? wa gave his answer. Only by letting go of all worries and ties can we truly have freedom and happiness. The two chasing trains, head and tail, were both shown with upgraded shots, but the three people at the end finally lost the luggage left by their father, and shouted loudly that they lost their father's boxes to catch up!
