A woman abandoned by her boyfriend and pregnant with his child. The reason that the man abandoned her was simple. He wanted to pursue his so-called ideal and be a truly free person. This is in sharp contrast with the male protagonist Paul. Paul-gentle and simple, kind and fraternity, can stand up for a down-and-out woman met on the road, and is willing to pretend to be her husband. Such a person will inevitably arouse the goodwill of the heroine.
The heroine Victoria, a lady who grew up in a century-old family, has undergone strict discipline from her father since she was a child, fearing his father’s majesty, but there is no doubt that her family is complete and warm, she has a strict father, gentle Mother, grandfather who loves chocolate and fun, kind grandmother. These gave Victoria a charming temperament, and gave her gentleness, kindness and virtuousness. She can face a man who abandoned her. Even though she was pregnant with his child, she did not angrily condemn her. The most worried thing was that she could not face her father after returning home. She wants to keep the child, because the child is innocent.
Two kind-hearted heroes and heroines stretched out a walk in the clouds. In the clouds, this word is easy to make people think about it, where clouds and mists are filled, accompanied by beautiful mountains and forests, beautiful vineyards, how pleasant and wonderful, and if you can walk in it and stay away from the noise, it will definitely cleanse the soul, but these There is always a kind of illusory beauty, unreal.
1. Loyalty to the family.
In the film Paul has three nightmare scenes. This is the only depressing part of the film. Through these three dreams, the inner world of the hero is revealed.
The first nightmare was after he fell asleep on the train. He was on a gray battlefield. The orphanage had been bombarded by artillery fire. The background music was the clear ding-dong sound of a music box. He opened the door and saw a boy sleeping. Next to the ruins, he suddenly picked up the flamethrower beside him and sprayed flames at the enemy beside him. Paul was awakened by the cry of the baby. Does this imply that Paul's inner home-the orphanage is in ruins, and that boy is his heart, he still lingers in the shadow of returning from the battlefield. But does the baby's crying hint at the beginning of a new life? It is also the beginning of his new life, the budding of love.
The second nightmare was that he slept with her on the same bed at Victoria’s house. He was still on the battlefield. He just pushed open the door of the orphanage. The boy who fell asleep was no longer a musket, but a bear, but This peaceful scene was over in a while. With an explosion, the boy and the little bear were in smoke. Paul was covering his face, wearing a wedding ring on his left ring finger, calling "Victoria" to wake up. Is it implying that Paul’s inner struggle? He can feel Victoria’s tenderness, but he is married, he bears responsibilities, as a husband, responsibilities to a family, and his heart is already at this time Fall in love with Victoria. How should he choose?
For the third nightmare, he left the vineyard. Through the truck driver's "Welcome to the ground", it was revealed that he had left and walked in the clouds. The nightmare reappeared in the car, but this time when he pushed aside the orphanage. The door, inside was not a ruin, not a little boy, but Victoria and a child. He was dressed in orthodox military uniforms. The three of them walked towards the clouds hand in hand, but the nightmare was still a nightmare, and he was awakened by an explosion. At this time, Paul had already decided to fall in love with Victoria and was eager to start a family with her, but these were all in vain. He was married.
2. The family is a warm fortress.
Victoria's father has a bright personality, conservative, traditional, stern, and he doesn't know how to express. When the new generation son challenged him and suggested that he modernize his business, he was scared, because he was not familiar with this and he had to be responsible to the whole family, so he preferred to keep the tradition. This is a conflict between old and new ideas. Both Paul and his son are the forces of the new generation. The way he loves his family also conflicts with Paul. Paul's love is to be spoken, expressed, and let the loved ones know. And his love is hidden in the bottom of his heart, the deeper the love, the deeper it is, which is similar to many fathers in Chinese families. They love their families, wives, and children, but they don’t know how to express or how to express them. They are very cute and respectable. When everything in the vineyard was destroyed and burned to ashes, only the family stayed by and lived in the ashes. This should also be another meaning that the film director wants to express, to love his family and never leave.
3. The family is the source of strength.
The walk in the clouds of the film should be over when Paul leaves the vineyard and catches the truck back to San Francisco. He bid farewell to the entangled love, even though he loves Victoria and is eager to start a family with her. It's just that his responsibilities are greater, reason overcomes sensibility. As a married person, he must fulfill his responsibilities, he must be loyal to his family and his wife. So the emotional entanglement with Victoria is just a walk in the clouds, although beautiful but unreal. The charm of movies lies in a sense of drama, which can always turn around when everything is exhausted. Maybe the combination between him and his current wife was a mistake. The director had already laid the groundwork at the beginning of the film. A woman in underwear and a gentle and elegant man in military uniforms did not match. But his wife's derailment finally released Paul, he was free, and he could love Victoria with confidence. In the burnt-out ruins, when everyone had given up hope, Paul relied on his belief to search alone in the dark smoke, which seemed to echo his nightmare, but now he was not in a dream. Paul finally found his own grape root. As Victoria’s father said to Paul, "The root, this is the root of your family. You have to be responsible for this land and your family. You are bound by promise, honor, and love. Plant it, and it will grow." Paul found his lover and his family
The beautiful vineyard surrounded by clouds and mist in the film, accompanied by beautiful music, outlines the beautiful scenery, traditional Mexican family customs, and the joy and joy of celebrating the grape harvest. Even if you review the film, you can always bring it The peace and washing of the mind.
