The encounter between people seems to be inadvertent, as if replaced by any person with a similar background, there will be a story, which makes people annoyed that such an arrangement is too casual; Met at this moment, people unconsciously believe that there is a secret arrangement, believe that this is love.
Every emotion, spontaneously, has its own throbbing and struggle. Human desire is love. Even if sometimes love is born out of desire and blinded by unbearableness, it is because of the vigorous vigor and the madness that makes people desperate to achieve a kind of morbid epic magnificence, whipping and convincing the people who read the story, so that they no longer care about and obsessed with Its so-called unbearable, but believe that love should be like this.
I don't need to know the Chinese man's name, and I don't even remember being mentioned in the movie or being called by anyone. At this time, he is Chinaman, he is richman, a man in a pure white suit with oily hair. On the messy ferry, he got out of the car, took out his hand towel and wiped his sweat, and walked through the crowd and the noise of chickens and ducks. The girl who was leaning against the railing approached.
The story is written by Duras, but I want to see it from the perspective of a Chinese man. Why this 32-year-old man has a crush on a 15-year-old girl. The man had lived in France, beyond his father's control, he was young, handsome, wealthy, and free to love. But after coming to Saigon, his father seized his lifeline at close range. He was bound by wealth and status, and there was no choice for marriage. He also knew that he was mentally weak, worried all day long, and looked around to find love again. Love is his job, and he has nothing to do but love. But he was surrounded by stooping servants, darker, hard-working, struggling locals, French who looked down on the Chinese. The love he wants is too extravagant, some people can't afford it, and some people are disdainful of it, so he is like a walking dead, only the desire to seek freedom and love is getting stronger and stronger. After reading the story, I understood why he, as a handsome and handsome rich second generation in the eyes of the world, was so clumsy and nervous when he approached the girl. The age of 32 is not a problem, as long as the 15-year-old has the love he wants, he loses. Therefore, this Chinese man is often affectionate, humble and courteous, sometimes melancholy and sometimes tearfully ramble about his helplessness and his involuntary, careful maintenance of the relationship with the girl. She is the carrier of all kinds of negative emotions, but to a greater extent, it stems from the gloomy reality of being in the world and unable to help herself.
Duras' experience made Duras. The experience of Chinese men has long been his own.
Life doesn't have to be perfect. Having stories and memories is the best perfection, which has already made me envious. After all, these stories and memories can help us pass the long nights and countless loneliness of life.
