The relationship between the hero and heroine has been quite controversial since the publication of "Long Dreams of the Covered Bridge". Some people think that the relationship between the hero and heroine is true love, and some people think that it is just an affair.
A man and a woman fall in love with each other, inevitably based on sexual attraction. In addition to natural sexual attraction, as love between human beings, of course, there must be an ideological and emotional fit. With both natural and social attraction, basically It can promote the love between men and women, but if you change your mind and change your mind, it may not be called true love, so when it comes to true love, then on the basis of love, it should also have the characteristics of perseverance, and then it can be called true love. .
There is no doubt about the sexual attraction between the hero and heroine. The hero thinks that the woman is graceful and beautiful; the heroine thinks that the hero is elegant, sharp-eyed, and fit. In particular, the heroine's behavior has fueled the fire again and again: she easily stepped into the car of a strange man, smoked on fire again and again, and drank strangers' food without boundaries. Soda drinks, inexplicably casual jokes, shyly covering his face and snickering frequently, peeping at the male protagonist's fitness, bringing strangers into the house, entertaining them as intimately as old friends, sharing meals, chatting and laughing, walking under the moon, In the middle of the night, in front of the opposite sex, she often provocatively stretched into her collar and stroked her neck down to the collarbone, and so on. Her series of absurd actions have been written in the original novel that even the heroine herself is for herself. Their behavior was astonished time and time again, and their relationship later revolved around sex almost non-stop.
Sexual attraction between the two sexes due to natural attributes is of course a very common phenomenon, but the feelings generated by sexual attraction alone are not enough to be transcendental, so the author has made every effort to create the spiritual love between the hero and heroine. First of all, the male protagonist is a romantic photography artist who travels around the world with unrestrained demeanor. He has a taste and insight on the capture of light and shadow in photography, and the elegance and subtlety of modeling. He has a unique and unique understanding of society, with a primitive rebellious, free and uninhibited temperament, and chooses a free and unrestrained way of life. Society, he has his own strong thoughts, feelings and will, and does not want to give up the spiritual pursuit of freedom. Although all of this makes him appear maverick, he still needs a partner who can resonate with him spiritually, so he asks She told his thoughts and insights, and she happened to have a relatively high literary and artistic accomplishment. She liked opera, poetry and other elegant literary and artistic forms, and her husband happened to be dull, lacking in taste, and without much A person with an elegant taste in life, in the past life, she could not get the spiritual enjoyment of mutual appreciation and resonance from her husband, and their marriage life was so dull that she felt empty and boring, and at this moment, in front of her Suddenly, a personable artist came. He was gentle and considerate, and he was always immersed in the wonderful art world. He knew how to appreciate the little flowers in the fields, he would pick them and give them to his beloved woman, and he would recite romance in the beautiful scenery of good times. He shared the beauty of nature and the interest of art with her. His unrestrained freedom and romance made her dull and boring life suddenly sparkle, so their thoughts and feelings with the same frequency resonated completely on one channel , their infinite reverie and thoughts penetrate into their daily life including sex, so the love between them starts from the natural sexual attraction, and then injects the ecstatic spiritual spring, so Their love can be regarded as a model of the love of soul and body.
"Land Dreams of the Covered Bridge" uses a lot of space to render the infinite beauty and sweetness of the hero and heroine's love, so can the love between them be called true love? Does the love between them have the characteristics of steadfastness?
The so-called perseverance should be firm, sincere, persistent, and single-minded in dealing with feelings, and should be firm and sincere in dealing with feelings. It should be able to care about personal sacrifices for feelings, even at the cost, and not because of related property, reputation, status, resistance. Considering factors such as giving up emotions, this can be considered firm and sincere. Edward VIII even gave up the country for the sake of his love.
But how does the heroine do it? Has her love for the male protagonist withstood the test of worldly pressure? Did she pay the price for their love again? No!
Some people just regard this as a place where she deserves to be praised and praised her incomparably strong sense of responsibility to her children and her husband, but since she has developed such a precious love with the hero, in his words, "we used to have two lives of our own." It no longer exists, but the two created a third life together." Shouldn't she be responsible to him in this case? Besides, her children are no longer stubborn children, but are already close to adulthood. If it is true that what she values, in addition to survival, a person's reputation and dignity are as important as a second life, then She is the same person. During the four days that she insisted on promoting good things between her and the hero, she did not repeatedly show the firm courage of "I am not afraid of gossip", nor did she still not fear the world's public opinion, regardless of the loss of her family's reputation and dignity. , did you do things that "surprised even herself" again and again? It's just that her actions were not discovered by luck, but after she got the love of the hero, there was such a huge contradiction before and after, so her feelings were hesitant and shaken.
In addition, no matter how she misses and watches over the hero in the future, in fact, she has not paid any price, not only did she pay no price, she also tried to make the hero pay for her the price of loneliness and loneliness in the rest of her life. , especially in the film, she angrily questioned the uniqueness of the hero's love for her, and played with the petty sex of her wife's status. Isn't it too ridiculous and selfish for her to ask the hero like that? Her love is not really a firm and sincere love, it only shows us more possessiveness and control.
The author always goes to great lengths to prove the otherworldly true love between them, adding a long, romantic and gorgeous tail to their love, and using a gorgeous tail to prove the permanence and specificity of their love , Unfortunately, although this tail is gorgeous, it is very illusory.
The author proves that the real love between them is actually in the back. Four days of romantic love is not difficult. The most difficult thing is the second half of life after four days. The hero and heroine will miss each other and watch each other for a lifetime. But this point is no longer true for the heroine: she secretly hides the hero in her heart, barely considered a long-term relationship, but she actually lives with another man, what kind of singleness is this? ? And when it comes to the male protagonist, for a romantic artist who is used to showing mercy in many places, he is in an unbalanced and unequal triangular relationship, and the lover in his heart is still living an ordinary married life with other men. , since he recognizes that the heroine only keeps each other's feelings in her heart and lives a life of separation of spirit and flesh, what reason does he have for not accepting that he can also live a life of separation of spirit and flesh, rather than to protect the heroine like jade Woolen cloth? Especially after a few years, her children have gone far away, and his status is still not on a par with her husband! In the novel, the author weakly confesses and explains for the male protagonist-he suddenly loses interest in other women, but apart from the author's wishful thinking, we really can't see what kind of natural and social psychological basis the male protagonist has. Because of this, the long and gorgeous tail given by the author is actually an illusory tail.
The author also seems to feel that he can't justify himself, so he bluntly added a piece of evidence that can attract the audience's attention and readers' nerves - the hero gave all the last inheritance to the heroine. In fact, this is not helpful at all, because the material The absence of reservations may be a necessary condition for the establishment of true love, but it is by no means a sufficient condition for the establishment of true love, especially when the property is not rich, it does not represent anything. Li Jia once spent a lot of money for Du Shiniang and was impoverished, but that did not prevent him from betraying his promise for money, so the truly discerning audience and readers would not be persuaded and moved by this evidence, but felt some superfluous words. Pretentious and hypocritical.
