capitals, after reading Abbas's "Like a River of Love", I felt that I couldn't calm down at all, and I wanted to write something to share with you.
The loneliness of Qiuzi
I want to start with the details of the emotional changes of the heroine Qiuzi. The opening of the movie is a noisy restaurant, a girl with bold and revealing purple hair, smoke in her fingertips, laughing and chatting with men in a hazy manner, and everything else , We can't see clearly, and we have no way of knowing that Qiuzi's voice came through the screen, but it seemed to be out of tune with this relaxed atmosphere. "I said I'm not going!" Qiuzi's angry roar awakened everyone who was immersed in this immoral atmosphere. It turned out that Qiuzi sitting here was a girl who was dating, with a young face like an angel, but the angel had already fallen Enter the room.
The wretched-looking middle-aged uncle took the stumbled Qiuzi and the address into the taxi. The night fell, Qiuzi sat alone in the back seat of the seat and listened to her grandmother's message. That was the only warmth in her heart, right? The big eyes looked around at the cold city outside the car window and the cold hearts. Loneliness is when you see your loved ones in front of you, but you can't step forward to embrace them; loneliness is when you walk the wrong path alone, but you can't turn back at all, even if your loved ones wave to you behind you. "I'm sorry, please go around again." Qiuzi looked at her grandmother outside the car window in pain, and silently wiped away her tears. She was so lonely and had nowhere to talk to. The wretched-looking middle-aged introducer in the cafe, the cold and numb taxi driver, and the young, beautiful and innocent Qiuzi seem to form a sharp contrast with them, creating a huge visual contrast for the audience, the director Shows a kind of city Buddha is a cold meat grinder, enough to devour and destroy all people like Qiuzi full of vitality, maybe in ten years Qiuzi will wear the same mask as everyone else , which is a terrible assimilation of society.
old man's loneliness
Someone in "Kafka on the Shore" said, "Kafka-kun Tamura, there is a critical point in our life where we can't go back. When that point arrives, whether it is good or bad, we can only accept it silently. That's how to live." In the movie, the old writer, when he was about to collapse, touched the critical point, which was loneliness. Yes, because of loneliness, I have enough time to cook a dish patiently and wait for a visit from a strange girl. Because of loneliness, the smile of the girl seems to ignite the picture in my memory. In the eyes of the old man, the girl is not only an art painting on the wall, It means that the old man has already lost his youth; it is also the old man's wife, an indelible love in his life; it is also the old man's child, the longing brought by the separation of flesh and blood. The young girl has so many complex positions in the heart of the old man. What he wants is too little, but it is just a one-night company; he wants too much, how can a long-term spiritual estrangement be satisfied because of a single meeting. In the end, the old man watched the girl fall into a deep sleep. There was not a single wrinkle on the girl's bare arms, but the white-haired old man could no longer straighten his back. What a lonely distance there was between the two. The meal is still eaten alone, and the wine is still drunk alone. If you are lonely, it will be better than having no company.
The loneliness that was broken
In my opinion, since that night, the old man and the girl should not have any intersection, until the old man sent Qiuzi to go to school, and was accidentally bumped into by Qiuzi's boyfriend, the old man began to play Qiuzi's grandfather, As the only grandfather who knew Qiuzi's secret, the distance between the two was broken. The old man played the role of the grandfather who loved his granddaughter, corrected Qiuzi's mistakes in the exam, and acted as the grandfather's role to enlighten Qiuzi's lovers. It became better and warmer, and the relationship that started with an immoral transaction seemed to become clear. It's a pity that Abbas is not an ordinary director. It seems that the theme he wants to express can only be known at the last moment. A lie is a lie after all. A moment of warmth can only make people stop for a moment. Life is cruel, and loneliness and cruelty are Timeless theme. A brick flew from the sky and smashed everything, breaking the peace of the old man and the young girl. The old man fell down. Maybe this is life.
The movie came to an abrupt end.
