The flowery moments in life are always fleeting

I have seen this movie before, and I remember that the scenery and pictures in the film are beautiful, but the film is full of sadness. Watching it again is like a different movie from what I've seen before. The only reason why I have such different feelings may be related to my own experience. At that time, my understanding of relationships, marriage, and even my views on life were relatively naive, extreme, and even too demanding. Ra is not as beautiful as she imagined, and she feels that she doesn't understand the characters in the play so well, so she doesn't understand the plot very well. After all these years, when I look at the protagonist in the story again, I won't impose my own moral judgment on her. People in the play, because life is inherently imperfect.

Some people did not understand in the past, do not want to understand, but now understand. I saw some comments, with their own experiences and emotions, put themselves in the role of the wife or husband in the film, accusing the film of being "immoral", I thought, if I were like him (her) , or speaking with the former identity who thought he was a moral judge, would he be as extreme as those who condemned the film as reflecting a "third party" and could not see the connotation of the film itself?

Lala in the film is not a perfect woman. She is unfortunate. At the age of seventeen, she was seduced and lost by her mother's lover. Her first love husband left her to join the so-called revolutionary cause because of this pain. While searching for and waiting for her husband to return, she met and fell in love with Dr. Zhivag.

A woman who expects a man to be consistent is just as extreme as a man who expects a woman to be always loyal. There are some things that a person loves only one person in his life, but not many. Or it is easy to say that it is easy to love someone, but it does not mean that he (she) will never fall in love with others again.

Dr. Zhivag lost his parents when he was a child and grew up with his uncle who adopted him. He and Tonya are childhood sweethearts and have a family relationship, but they may lack a little spark of love. It is a habit or a kind of repayment.

In other words, the two women are completely different, Tonia is the tender family, and Lara represents the passion of love. Tonya's love is loyal, but Lara represents an ideal of the poet.

The film shows the insignificance and powerlessness of a person's life from the turbulent revolution. Zhivag is driven nowhere by reality from his fantasy of ideals.

In the short pastoral life spent with his family, he obtained short-lived happiness, but he was wrapped in the torrent of the times, and involuntarily lost everything.

I like the photography and music of the film very much. Every picture is carefully composed, like a magnificent and magnificent painting. The music is beautiful. In the film, the hero and heroine meet and fall in love in the war. There is a bunch of yellow sunflowers on the table, which is very similar. Van Gogh's masterpiece "Sunflower" not only symbolizes the hope of life growing and blooming even in the war, but also the love of the hero and heroine. Sad picture. After watching the movie, I have a good impression of and respect for the director, and I think that a director who can capture the beauty of Russian nature and literature and art is great. He must have both artistic skills and sympathy and love for the fate of mankind. So much narrow-mindedness and personal subjectivity. Knowing that director David Lynn is the director of "Lawrence of Arabia", his attention to the fate of people in the era, and his control of the movie screen are very good.

The pictures in the film are beautiful and magnificent. The steaming train on the snowfield slowly drives past, the carriage winds its way between the green plains, and the fields in spring are full of brilliant flowers. On such a beautiful land, people's destiny But it was tragic. With constant wars and political struggles, Dr. Zhivag started to take the initiative to join the revolution, to when he was forced to join, he had to endure all trials and torture. Who is in charge of people's fate?

The plot is tragic. People who love each other can't help themselves, separated from each other, and their life and death are unknown.

Among the three males in the play, Lala's first lover is a selfish and despicable villain, but he always gets along well because he knows that he is "useful", and the other is the first love to become a leader , proclaiming: "Personal life doesn't exist anymore", he dedicates himself to the so-called cause to escape the crisis of his marriage with Lara. Zhivag is passionate and weak. His nobility lies in his love for the land where he lives, and he refuses to escape or leave his country. His weakness lies in the fact that he is coerced by the times and cannot control his own destiny. Any gust of wind of the times can break the branches of his life.

After being separated from Lala, he finally died of a ruptured heart. This is a heart-breaking story. The poet pursues truth, goodness, beauty and romance, but the cruelty of reality shatters all people's beautiful imaginations, and can only be pushed away involuntarily in reality. The vicissitudes of life, it is depressing. Their daughter, who did not know the story of her parents, started her own life with a young heart, which is a little comforting place for this love tragedy.

The end of one story is the beginning of another. The end of one life means the beginning of another.

I think what makes people sigh is that in addition to the love tragedy of the hero and heroine, there is also Dr. Zhivag's wandering and pathetic life. The boundless blooming yellow daffodils symbolizes the best time in human life and short-term happiness. At times, people put in a lifetime of effort for this.
