! Only try to survive!
Gong Lao's previous works have bright colors, but the taste of this film is flat and light, like a cup of tea, the color and fragrance are dissolved in it but only slightly revealed. Erlang's dream since he was a child was to build an airplane. He admired Carbononi and hoped to grow up to be an excellent airplane maker like him.
Erlang did it, and he became a designer of a new type of aircraft after learning. But at this time, Japan was caught in the fever of war. Jiro didn't say much about the war, he just thought that Japan's recklessness would destroy it. For Erlang, the plane is not a tool of war, nor is it a commodity. Airplanes are a dream, and he is the engineer dedicated to making that dream a reality.
The few fantasy elements in the film are the "dream encounter" between Erlang and Italian aircraft designer Caboloni. The commonality of dreams brings the two "Azhai" together. Erlang gradually evolved from "a boy who saw an airplane in his dream" to "a boy who saw himself as an aircraft designer in his dream". After that, as time went on, the "dream language" of the two became more and more. Although the "dream" was difficult to achieve, the goal was firm.
The Great Kanto Earthquake, the post-war disaster in Japan, the death of a loved one, even if the wind blows, never give up in life. In such a headwind, you have the courage to pursue your dreams in order to fly better. In the dream, Carbononi asked Erlang: Do you prefer a world with pyramids or a world without pyramids? The pyramid is the crystallization of human wisdom, representing the infinite creativity of human beings, and is a great work of art. But the construction of the pyramids is very cruel, oppressing slaves and destroying the so-called "low life". The plane as a work of art also has the same quality. The human dream of flying is a cursed dream, because the plane is saddled with the fate of killing and destroying props. Pursuing dreams may be chasing a kind of cruelty, but this kind of cruelty is illusory but accompanied by shadows.
Life is inherently cruel, so is chasing dreams, but when the wind blows, the only way to survive is to work hard.
who has seen the wind
Neither you nor me
, but when I see the trees hanging down their
heads, the wind blows
