The film tells that after the end of World War II, a large number of nostalgic American soldiers set foot on the Port of San Francisco to return to the arms of their relatives. However, Paul Sutton could not wait for his wife. It was not until the sun went down that he walked to the house alone, but the house had changed. His wife, Betty, was obsessed with making a fortune and was indifferent to her husband who returned from the expedition. There was a rift in the couple's relationship. Paul had no intention of staying at home without warmth, so he left home again to find a job. On the train, Paul met the beautiful girl Victoria Aragon. The two are very close. On the way, Paul took good care of Victoria. While grateful, Victoria confided her unfortunate experience to Paul: her family ran a vineyard, her father was very conservative, and now it was a family reunion day, but she was abandoned by her boyfriend after she became pregnant. She didn't know how to face her family when she went back. Paul decides to help Victoria. He came up with a trick: He went home with Victoria as husband and wife, and then slipped away so that Victoria could pass the buck. So Paul and Victoria came to that beautiful vineyard together. The Aragon family had mixed reactions to Paul's arrival. Victoria's father was very dissatisfied with his daughter's behavior and treated Paul very domineeringly; while Victoria's mother and grandmother treated him with courtesy; Victoria's grandfather, Patriarch Don Pietro, was very fond of Paul. At night, Paul and Victoria feigned intimacy in front of their family members, but they went to bed without a mess. After night fell, people lit bonfires in the vineyards, using thick hot smoke to drive away the cold, so as not to freeze the grapes. Paul and Victoria participated in the labor together. He was fascinated by the beauty of the vineyards. At the same time, he and Victoria also began to have love. At the invitation of Don Pietro, Paul, who wanted to leave quietly, decided to wait until the grape harvesting ceremony was over before leaving. Paul worked with people. The life here fascinated him deeply. In the festive atmosphere, Paul hugged Victoria and the two kissed together. A fiery fire of love burns in their hearts. At the dinner, Victoria's father announced the good news of Paul and Victoria. However, Paul then remembered that he still had a wife and that he had to go back to his wife. So he left without saying goodbye and returned to San Francisco. But when he returned home, he found that his wife had already loved someone else. With relief, Paul signed the divorce certificate and hurried back to the vineyard to Victoria's side. Ya comes from a Hispanic family, so the film is full of Latin flair, especially the scene where Paul sings a love song in front of the Victorian window. The scene of driving away the frost is a highlight of this film. I was very impressed. In the golden tone, the hero and heroine were walking through the vineyards covered in misty mountains, or beside the roaring bonfire with transparent wings and fluttering and fanning the flames, while the heroine closed. Eyes, the male protagonist is snuggling behind him, like hugs but not hugs, no words are needed. At this moment, silence is better than sound. It makes people feel that time will stop here. What a sweet picture! Keep people's eyes firmly on the line. In addition to placing the camera on the male and female protagonists, the director also shot some bystanders, such as the father. The camera switched from the protagonist to the father. From the father's eyes, you can also see the kind of ambiguousness, the kind of tenderness that makes people feel So jealous. This film does not talk about war, nor does it rise to the level of anti-war, so I think that the appearance of war scenes is only to show the psychological trauma of the hero. A soldier who has experienced war always has the battlefield in his mind. The orphanage in ruins, because he is also a child who grew up in an orphanage since he was a child. In "Silence of the Lambs", the psychiatrist Hannibal also discussed the trauma of the soul with the heroine. The stimulation that has been lurking in the heart will one day accumulate more and more. When it is suppressed for too long and cannot be released, it will break out. In the film, Keanu Reeves dreams of holding hands with the heroine, supporting their children, and walking happily by the lake. For him, the heroine is the key that opens his heart. In one recollection, he was still awakened by screaming for Victoria. It seems that the heroine has become the sustenance of his heart, just like the supreme treasure in "Journey to the West", even if the person he loves has been deceived on the surface. Bai Jingjing, but in the dream language, his love for Zixia has been exposed. Even after getting to know Zixia, he has always restrained himself from crossing the Thunder Pond on the grounds that Bai Jingjing is his wife. However, love is love. For Paul, it is not his wife who can help him get rid of the war dream, but Victoria in front of him. Therefore, when he dreamed of joining hands with Victoria, the color changed from black and white to the color of reality, what should be in the past, after all, let it be in the past, and only by grasping the present can we grasp the future. Quoting a review of someone else's film, I think it's more appropriate for this topic. "What Victoria has is a big harmonious family. The concept of "home" and "family" is reinforced everywhere in the film. Paul's final temptation and emotion were also changed under the inspiration of the Victoria family. My daughter-in-law, it is better to go to that small town full of Latin flavor, where there is a kind mother and grandmother, and a humorous and kind grandfather. My father is a little stubborn, but he is actually a good person. How can this orphan not be unmoved? Paul Three of his dreams have been saying: "I want to have a home", the ruins of the orphanage, the wreckage of toys, the last time it was not a nightmare but a vision of Victoria and the child, and Paul's mental choice is even more obvious at a glance." Many of the more philosophical dialogues are spoken through the mouth of grandpa Here, as the head of the family, Grandpa has the oldest qualifications and the most experience, and the image of a natural wise man is undisputed. "Clothes are like family. You have to live in them for a while before you get the perfect fit." The metaphor is very apt. Clothes are like home, and it always takes a while to fully adapt to it. In addition to the wise role of grandpa, the supporting role of father is also very full in the play. He is very traditional, he can't bear his only daughter marrying a man privately outside, he can't bear his son changing his name, he can't bear that his son-in-law is not the right match for him, and he can't bear that his son-in-law knows his daughter's heart better than he does. He loves his daughter. This affectionate love will not be lower than Paul's. However, he doesn't know how to express it, he doesn't know that love needs to be spoken out loud, and he just runs the family business silently. , For the sake of his family, he bears a stubborn and conservative image. Until the end, he finally revealed his heart to his daughter, "Can you teach me?" He gathered up his courage, put down his self-esteem, and prayed for his daughter's understanding and forgiveness. I think this character is fuller than the male lead. I will always remember when Paul took the divorce agreement and rushed to the small town in the cloud, the kind of starry night running, he was heading home.
