Condolences

"Straight lovesickness is useless, but melancholy is innocent." Recently, I suddenly felt sad and depressed all day long, drinking alone, thinking alone, and drunk alone. I began to miss the time when I was easily moved, even if it was naive and simple crying. So, on this night, I was finally immersed in "Farewell My Concubine" again. I faintly felt that I wanted to find something in this period of infatuation to comfort the emptiness, but I didn't know what I was thinking about. Daiyu needs to clean his hands and burn incense to play the piano, just to live up to the piano. And I, washing, turning off the light, sitting cross-legged, just to live up to this sentiment, this idiot, this old thing.

The elder brother's charming Wanrou is no longer able to comment again, as beautiful as him, smiling and frowning are all thoughts of thousands of times. Dieyi was lonely since he was a child. In order to sell him to the Peking Opera class, his mother used a knife to chop off his extra fingers on a cold winter day. When the weak child was holding a blood-filled hand and yelling to his mother, there was no one except the heavy snow outside the door. Every time I see this scene, I feel pain in my heart. I remembered that Dieyi was depressed for a while, sucking opium, and it was her mother who was still crying and crying when the body and mind were in pain. The pain of life and the fragility of people can be seen. Maybe God will always pity the delicate and graceful person, so in the troubled childhood, he met him who is strong and majestic. In the play, he is the overlord, he is Yuji, he is his only support in life, the only person who cherishes him and makes up for his mental defects, so his heart has already fixed him, and he wants to sing with him for a lifetime. Finally.

After their childhood in the ice and snow, they finally became famous in the capital. His beauty, his pride, and his little happiness were all indulged in the strong shelter of his brother. Die Yi is Xiaolou's thrush, and his eyes are filled with cherishment and admiration. That is his favorite moment. As long as Xiaolou is willing, he is his Yuji. However, "I am a boyfriend and not a girl Jiao'e", this line he often said wrong has become an irreparable sadness in his life. Xiaolou met Yu Ji in his life, and he and Juxian began to belong to their happiness. But Die Yi looked at the overlord in his heart, and said stubbornly, "No! It's a lifetime, one year, one month, one day, one hour is not a lifetime", who made this promise to whom? Who promised him for the rest of his life? He is just the Yuji in his play, he can take care of him and pity him, but he is not the heaviest person in his life. This Die Yi, who always laughs and silently, stubbornly believes in the only thing in life, that is the "one end" he has engraved in his heart since he was a child, and the fiery true love deposited in his heart was denied by Xiaolou. In his eyes, he was just a madman. His eyes changed from coquettish to boundless loneliness and loneliness. I used to think that as long as Xiaolou wanted him, he could live and die with the overlord like Yu Ji, be happy for him, sad for him, and spend every tribulation in his life for him. But now, he is just lonely, his money falls affectionately into the dirt of the world, there is no destination, no echo. His following is just a person's drunkenness alone.

However, Dieyi did not say hate, just like the love he never said, he just instinctively hated Juxian, he thought she stole his overlord. In fact, they are all such kind and infatuated people, who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, and who can make it clear. He still stubbornly insisted on his love, devoted everything he could to protect him and help him, even if Xiaolou failed his affection time and time again, he was heartbroken again and again. Until the end, Yu Ji's role was taken away by Xiao Si, and when Xiaolou pulled him and decided to abandon it, he was so proud and willing to follow him. What he wants is his overlord's arrogance to death, he can live and die with him, regardless of his landslides. However, Xiaolou compromised after all, Die Yi left the stage silently, listening to his Overlord’s words as usual: "Come too!" His heart was already shattered into ashes.

The period of the Cultural Revolution was a time when humanity was fully manifested. He still did not expect to expose him madly at last. It was the overlord he had followed in his heart to criticize him. He became at a loss. Is he crazy or the world crazy? The heart is no longer a heart, love is no longer love, he is no longer him. What he insisted on believing throughout his life became so absurd and ridiculous that even the Overlord was fragile, so what else could he insist on? The ending is so sad and heavy, and everyone has real pain and madness. Xiaolou said that Dieyi "is not mad and will not survive." He does not have his persistence and enthusiasm. He only wants to obtain a little happiness in the mortal world. As he said, "In this world, in this mortal pile, we can "How to live", and Dieyi, his heart only said, "I want to be Yuji in my life." He would rather burn jade and stone, and the earth would be broken, rather than give up his persistence in art, heart, and love. Such obsession, such deep affection can only end up in painful loneliness. Their emotions are not equal, and there is no mental fit, so they can't catch each other, and can only watch the other person sink. At the end of the movie, Dieyi chose to die gorgeously on the stage, beside his overlord. He looked at him, still in a trance, still obsessed, but such a beautiful departure is enough to make his overlord miss and remembrance for a lifetime. He chose to die in the manner of Yu Ji, in order to tell the world that he lived and died, and that he only wanted to be the overlord Yu Ji in this life.

Is the world too sober, or is it too crazy? Thinking of this vast sea of ​​love, where can such a foolish person look. A Red Mansion is full of eloquence, and the words "love" and "fascination" appear most frequently. In ancient times, Yuan was fond of asking poems. Everyone who caught a goose said: "Today I got a goose and killed it. Those who got off the net couldn't go, and they fell to the ground and died." Even the goose knows how to die. Life and death are shared, and how desolate people are today. "Hate the world, what love is, I teach life and death. The world is flying in the north and the north, and the old wings have returned to the cold and heat. Happy fun, parting from suffering, and more idiotic children. The king should have a word. Mu Xue, who is only going for the shadow", this kind of poem can only be missed without bounds.

Suddenly I understood what I was looking for in this film. Does beauty cause ignorance, or does ignorance cause beauty? How long is the love strong? The thing that was once heart-wrenching, the heart that was once obsessed with fierce but nowhere to rely on...
