I started yearning for Margaret Duras when I was in high school. I saw this movie for the first time in college one year, and it hadn't been drastically cut back then. Years later, the me who is no longer me has seen more unbearable things besides love.
If you have to say that there is love between the two of them, the Chinese young master who came back from Paris does not look down on Vietnamese women with yellow skin and dirty skin. He also considers that he will be accompanied by old Chinese women in the future, and he has a yearning for Western white people. , happened to bump into such a French flower girl. Being with her is fresh and foreign, as if still in Europe. What's more important is that short-term possession is more exciting. The rebellious object of family finger marriage is a beautiful and distant French virgin. Her character is still very hard, adding a little flavor to the boring pre-marital life, which can be used to fight half-life boredom. As for Jane, the first thing she saw was the big car, the big house, the ring on his hand, his white suit, and then he felt the tugging of his fingers, and finally saw the man on the cruise leaving Saigon back to France. It's more about crying for losing him than for ending this new and rich life experience. Although there are many kinds of love, it is not always so random. [The young master of China has an inexhaustible family property, except for "love", he has no ability at all. The girl said that she just liked this. 】This sentence alone clarifies the relationship between the two.
Looking at it for the second time, what impressed me even more was the discrimination against the Chinese by the girl's family, and the reason for the discrimination was very simple - physical weakness. Of course, that would be an industrial society, and there is no reason to discriminate against the body. The waiter brought the bill and gave it directly to Jane's eldest brother. One detail tells us that even in Vietnam, even if the Chinese are obviously the richest, the bill must be handed to the white people to take care of the white people's face. The rudeness, wretchedness, and greed of the white family were all revealed during one meal. Despite this, he settled the bill, paid the girl’s brother’s gambling debts, and bought the girl’s family a boat ticket. Isn't he angry? He has the capital to be angry. It may be that the dignity of the international community needs to be bought a little bit, and the money for a meal is not enough for the time being; it may be that the love for the girl makes him endure being offended. Poor white people, who can bully rich Chinese people, look pretty uncomfortable today.
The white poor's family is riddled with holes, and poverty alone makes them exhausted, the mother's preference for her drug-addicted son, and the second son's morbid weakness, all make the girl desperately want to escape that dark hut. The family of the Chinese young master is even more frightening. The old Chinese architecture has swallowed all vitality. The father who has been smoking opium in bed for decades is not a ghost or a ghost. He has no mother, no brothers, and his future wife has never met. They both planned to escape deep in their hearts, but unfortunately neither of them could escape, one could not escape poverty, and the other could not escape wealth.
