Why can't I let go after watching merry christmas mr lawrence? And listening to the music that should be pleasant, but full of tears? Why, why did I watch it so many times, but I still couldn't help but look back, couldn't help but capture every detail of the characters, kept reminiscing, and kept hoping that Jack liked Yonoi too?
Maybe it's because I also yearn for this kind of feeling, but in reality I don't know where to find it. Yonojing is unparalleled, refined and restrained, and Jack is exotic and handsome, wanton and free. I never believe in love at first sight, but some people say it is lack of confidence in appearance. Is Yonoi because of Jace's handsomeness, and because Jack is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of life and death, and fell in love at first sight? Jack finally chose to stand up and save the commander because of his guilt towards his younger brother, but there are other ways, right? Or is this the only way to keep the whole focus on yourself and save everyone, and not potentially bring about greater violence? I don't know, and I really can't guess.
Maybe it's the kind of feeling that seems to exist and can't be fulfilled, which is the fatal attraction of the feelings in this movie. Relationships in reality are often not so pure, maybe there are, but I have never encountered them. There are always too many other factors mixed in in reality. It may be that both parties meet each other just when they need it, or it may be the pressure of tradition. Compromise, it is possible that the other party can make him live a better life, there are countless possibilities, but it is impossible to determine whether it is because of the person himself, not related to time, not related to needs, not related to material things. Therefore, such pure feelings are also fatally lost, and those who are finished will be demons, and the world will not tolerate them.
After watching the video of the dialogue between Long Yi and Roy, I had to admire the director. This kind of casting almost made the actor's own characteristics and the role fit to a great height. It can even be said that the acting skills can be diluted, and only the role is required. I always feel that the version is a little shy and overwhelmed with Roy, and Roy is as full of aura as in the movie. They are also very similar in real life. The media say that they are like twins. They can't have a relationship in the movie. Life is basically dull.
Movies are more beautiful and shocking than novels, but I have to admire lawrence for writing this work. I haven't read the original work, so I can't perceive whether this work is a literary work from a literary point of view. However, such a story, such a The plot is not something that can be drawn by wild imagination. The media said that this is an adaptation of a real person, I don't know if it is true or not, but this is at least an imagination based on the author's personal experience. The author said that when he was captured during World War II, if he did not understand Japanese, he was executed on the spot. That's why I have the witness in the movie who can understand Japanese and understand Japanese culture.
It is impossible for most people to have such an experience. Such an experience is precious and unforgettable, which can add so many magnificent colors to life and so many uncertainties. Perhaps this kind of experience makes life more meaningful, rather than simple. A simple walk alone. But such an experience may be thrilling and unwilling to encounter, because the author can survive, and luck accounts for a lot. Maybe there are people who have more and more amazing events in the war than he saw, but failed to survive or show it to the world. To have such works is a precious wealth of human society. At least, let the "lucky people" who live in the plain know that there is such a non-plain in human life.
I would also like to thank a great director like Nagisa Oshima, because someone else made it, and it is likely to be a violent film in the usual concentration camps, or a straightforward homosexual, or a World War II film that showed countless times.
Such a story, such a writer, such an actor, such a director, such a film.
