It's actually another good film that was delayed by erotic gimmicks! Aside from this angle, what is more worthy of attention is its significance in literature and love.
At the beginning of the film, the picture of the Mekong River slowly opened the prelude to the story, and the old woman in her twilight years recounted the past in a nostalgic tone. Diesel cars, old-fashioned ships, greasy streets, the humid heat of Southeast Asia, the Indochina colony in the 1930s, which modern civilization has yet to cover, sensuality and savagery are full of oriental flavors.
The black classic car and the dock have witnessed the absurd beginning of the two and their lonely end. Everyone has their humble pride and their cowardice. He has money, so he enjoys the pleasure of attracting and dominating a woman with money; and she enjoys the superiority of being white while selling her body. He asked her to repeat over and over again: "You are here to get my money", but then turned her head and her eyes were red; and she heard him saying when he was about to get married, "Anyway, I don't love you, and I won't like Chinese people. ', but when he sent her off, he wiped away his previous disguise with a cry in the cabin. This latent love! This is the wrong start, I didn't think about it, I moved my heart.
The unparalleled love in the book may eventually be attributed to a light. He couldn't wait his whole life to say "I love you". But the stars have changed, and the old friend has gone, but his love for her has never ended. The ancient Roman poet Ovid said, "Whoever keeps saying 'I don't love' is in love." The decadent feudal ideology, the deviated social concept, and the disparity of status and status once again ruined a sincere and moving love. A lover is not a prostitute and a slut. A lover is just a naive fantasy developed outside the mundane world. It is a piece of soil on which a little soul is placed, and it is love that dare not say "love". This may be the ultimate meaning of Duras' creation of lover. "Love to me is not a skin-to-skin relationship, it is not a vegetable and a meal, it is an immortal desire, a hero's dream in a tired life!"
The cruise ship spewed black smoke and left the port, and the water of the Mekong River was still flowing quietly. Suddenly, I remembered a sentence in the movie "Indochina", "Whether it is colonization or colonization, if you love, a child or a lover, then prepare Accept the pain."
