A Siberian barber's

love becomes emotional when it comes to two things, one is death and the other is time. 【Siberian Barber】belongs to the latter. But at the same time, it has a feeling of being as cold as ice and snow and as vast as a plateau. I think that's because Andrei Tolstoy, a Russian soldier, has a rare noble temperament, which makes her love with Jane a legendary legend that reflects the torrent of the times. Sympathy, but still youthful and unrepentant in his heart.
On the train where Andre and Jane first met, when he sang an excerpt from "The Marriage of Figaro" for her, "A manly man should go to the army", it was destined that the two of them would be entangled in love and pain. Jane said to him, Andrea, I'm not worth it, I'm the kind of woman your mother would make you watch out for. When Andre knew her purpose of the trip was to confuse Admiral Reynolds, the head of the military academy, for a loan, he fractured his right arm in a duel with classmate Paulie for her. However, after he knew the truth, he still attacked Reno for her, ruining his future. He loved her so much, but when she volunteered in his room, his first reaction was: No, you don't love me. Facing the woman he loves and respects immensely, he prefers to marry her with traditional rituals and understanding, rather than "fornication". A man who can control his lower body with his upper body is precious. When he heard Jane tell Reno that he was just a young man overwhelmed by love between Acts 1 and 2, and when he returned to the stage from the rain to see Jane and Reno whispering, his inner experience With the ups and downs of pain, because of Jane, he bravely showed her love in front of Chief Reno, ready to accept severe punishment, even though he had just become a real soldier at this time, but he heard Jane's words. In other words, he didn't know that Jane was lying, he only heard that his love had suffered deep contempt and insult, and he had to fight back, or defend, but this defense was actually a greater harm to himself. He understands that when he hits Reno with his cello bow, he is undoubtedly hurting himself. But he is willing to die with this love. Therefore, when Reynolds declared himself to protect the duke and blocked Andre's "assassination", Andre knew that the crime of assassination was more serious, but he did not plead, until he was exiled to Siberia after hard labor.
In my opinion, the so-called tragedy is a person who could have dominated his own gallop, but because of an emotion as powerful as a mission, he handed over the whip in his hand and was willingly thrown into a deserted corner. The boundless loneliness draws a sad back. Ten years later, he has changed from a heroic and handsome soldier to a bearded and dusty farmer. He looks at Jane, who is speeding by in the distance. He knows that she is looking for him, but he does not stop him. He, even though his heart was full of mixed feelings, like an insect bite, he remained motionless until her figure disappeared from his field of vision. He lit a cigarette, and his eyes were mixed with complex emotions of attachment, emotion, strangeness, and grief, but he seemed to be at a loss. Maybe he said in his heart: That's it.
Reminds me of Byron's poem: If I see you again, after a long time, how would I greet Hou, with silence and tears. In this film, the passage of time and the changes of personnel all rush by in the second half, as if the ten years and ten years later, the life of Andre can be explained in a few words. The year he graduated from the military academy, he Met her and he was finished. However, he used his silence and his invisible tears to elevate love to a height that makes people sit upright and burst into tears. So I believe that a noble person absolutely has noble love (he can make the other person noble too), and noble love is bound to be steep, because its extraordinary height is destined to its difficulties and twists, but from another point of view, Climbing all the way through danger and finally reaching the commanding heights of life's emotions, it also proves without a doubt: steepness creates nobility, even if we can't be together, our beliefs rush all the way to our eyes, inspiring and shocking us. As the book "The Time Traveler's Wife" says: Absence makes love stronger. The biggest reward for Andrei and Jane's lifelong separation was their son, a stubborn boy who would rather wear a gas mask to train and sleep in the barracks because he didn't want to insult Mozart with the commander. His persistence finally came. To make the superior admit defeat, he merged his father's neither humble nor arrogant with his mother's inner compassion, and finally drew a noble end to the steep love between his parents.
Zhang Ailing said that after 30 years, even the best moonlight is a bit bleak. But for people who are deeply poisoned, such as me, it is: after decades, no matter how desolate the moonlight is, it is beautiful. Because I haven't experienced it yet, I haven't lived to that age, so I always have endless curiosity about hearsay love stories to get to the bottom of it: Are they together? Or, will they still miss each other when they are separated? I hope to confirm that there is eternal love in this world, and I also want to try it out with a fluke. Fortunately, in any case, the directors of those love movies are mostly kind-hearted, and they always leave a heart-warming tail in their sadness, telling us that there is always something that time cannot take away or defeat. Even if it disappears at this moment, it must be I will meet you unexpectedly in another form at another time in the future.




If I meet you again , how will I greet
you with silence and tears in reality. I just quietly lit a cigarette. When I roll down the mountain with your breath. When my face is unrecognizable. As your carriage gallops across the Siberian wilderness. When the chagrined hot air drowned me in an instant like the past. If you remember that song. It's as cheerful and beautiful as you are. It is as gentle and stubborn as you are. It's like our love. will be remembered. will be forgotten.
