this is the movie" troubled times three "Finally, The content of Gerda's letter to Guy. At the beginning of the film, it was told to the audience that Gerda could only live by the fate of thirty-four years old through a witch who looked at Gerda. For Gerda, her death is doomed, and her only gains in the world are the guys and Mia she loves deeply.
At the beginning of the film "Three in a Troubled World", an old French love song takes the viewer into a black and white movie world, and when the protagonist Gerda appears, colors begin to appear. A warm tone began to appear in front of the screen, and it has been waning and rising with the development of the plot. After Guy and Mia left Gerda to participate in the anti-fascist battle, the film's tone began to turn into a depressive and depressed uniform gray, and when Guy and Mia and Gerda began to contact, the tone of the film returned to ease. The warm colors come up.
Such lens language easily reminds people of the movie "Schindler's List", using the tone of the film to highlight the tone of the film's plot and the inner emotional world of the protagonist. In "Three Lines in a Troubled Time", red, green and uniform colors are very obvious and prominent in the overall atmosphere of mild and warm tones.
The red clothes and exaggerated red lipstick that Gerda and Mia like to wear symbolize the unrestrained heart of Gerda and Mia and their love for living together; Gerda appears at the beginning and end of the film Looking back at the green lawn of Gai, this green symbolizes Gai’s infinite remembrance and fascination with Gerda; the uniform color (dark gray) appears after Gai and Mia leave Gerda for the anti-fascist front, symbolizing Gerda's inner pain and the gloomy background of the times.
Compared with the visual stimulation that color brings to people, the fate and life philosophy of the three protagonists in this film are obviously more worthy of people's thinking.
Gerda, perhaps because she is a French and American mixed race, she seems unruly or even licentious without being constrained by etiquette. She doesn't want to be trapped in the cage of marriage. She loves both Gai and Mia. If strictly speaking, she may be a "bisexual." She doesn't care about politics, she doesn't care about liberation and all things related to society, she cares about aesthetics and her beloved Gai and Mia. Gerda, much like Carmen, has the unique personality traits of a bohemian gypsy wandering girl.
However, she couldn't escape politics and society, and couldn't live with her beloved Guy and Mia, so she became a spy. In the end, he was mistaken for a "Nazi bitch" by the French and was shot. Why didn't Gerda clarify to others that she was not the lover of a German officer? Because life without Gai and Mia is meaningless to Gerda. Until the end, we can see that Gerda is a pure person who pursues aesthetics in the life creed.
Guy, he is a standard British "aspiring youth". For him, faith may overwhelm love. For example, he participated in the Spanish Civil War against Franco's regime. Later, he and Mia "abandoned" Gerda to participate in the war on the front line. Faced with Gerda's attitude towards marriage, maybe Guy had been misunderstanding until finally he saw Gerda's letter to him.
Mia, her love creed swayed between Gerda and Guy, and finally she chose to be with Guy. Because although Mia hates war and does not want to leave Gerda, she has a past and a hometown.
In terms of the plot, "Three Walks in a Troubled World" and "The English Patient" are relatively similar. They are both stories of men and women in love under the background of war, and both end in tragedy. However, the difference is that the tragedy (aircraft crash) encountered by the hero of "The English Patient" is external and accidental, while Gerda's death is a kind of fate and inevitable. Because Gerda felt that she was isolated and helpless, her aesthetic life was over for her, so she had to die, even if she could not be shot as a "German bitch".
War plus love has always been the theme of many films. For works of this kind of theme, the general approach is to use love to dispel the cruelty of war, such as "The English Patient". Although "Three in a Troubled World" is set in the context of World War II, World War II was only the fuse for the joys and sorrows of the three protagonists. Their separation is inevitable, and their misunderstandings will not disappear because of the absence of war. Because they can only feel the deep love between them after they are separated, but this love cannot last, just like the wizard said to Gerda, "You can only live thirty-four years."
Guy, who is idealistic about love, is helpless and angry when faced with Gerda's skepticism towards love. Gerda, who has an aesthetic attitude towards life, also disagrees that Guy wants to go to Spain. She said to Guy: "I don't want you to go to Spain to die!" Even Mia, she also has aestheticism towards life. But because she is an orphan with a hometown, it is obvious that she can’t stay together for long with Gerda, a wealthy slutty girl who has no worries about food and clothing.
Although the three protagonists of this film cannot be together forever because of their respective destinies and their common destiny, their love is eternal. When Guy was fighting on the front line, he saw a photo of a prisoner with a girl on his body. He felt tired of the war. He risked his life and returned to Paris to meet Gerda. Here, we see the paleness and meaninglessness of the face of war in the face of human love. Because even the Nazi soldier who is the enemy to Guy, he still has the girl he misses, and he is no different from Guy himself in the essential sense.
The film "Triple in a Troubled World" provides viewers with a very beautiful trio in terms of the use of colors and the narrative of the fate of the characters. The three colorful life ends with Gerda's death. , The ending of this story. Through Gerda's last letter to Guy, we can see that this "love trio" story has dispelled the tragedy of the ending. Because, as Gerda said, the meaning of her life is to know Guy and Mia, not the other.
