The most passionate and the highest

Huang Ailing said in "The Eyes of the Beast" that "Beauty and the Beast" is simply Gauk's version of "The Peony Pavilion." This reminds me that when I look at Gao Keduo's works with the eyes of watching Chinese operas, it seems that I can be more straightforward, and I can appreciate the affectionateness hidden under each frame of film. Is not it? "Opheel" also tells about the love that travels between yin and yang. In my opinion, the first half is "Love Detective" and the second half is "Song of Everlasting Regret". "Opheel" was originally a story in ancient Greek mythology. It was about the wandering poet Ophele from Troy. His talent and appearance even attracted animals. His singing made him distracted from his wife Ulits. The god of death took her away from him, he came to the world, and with his charm won the promise to let her return with him, provided that he would never look at her. But she still watched it, and was forcibly taken away by the priestess of Bacchus, the god of wine. Gocteau adopted this section, but focused on the love between Orphee and the god of death that crossed the boundary of life and death. It was fantastic and quirky, and it was as imaginative as possible, but it was touching. As a result, when the god of death allowed him to survive and reunite with his wife, the two had a conversation. She said: Will you listen to me? He said: Yes. She said: No matter what, even if I sentence you to torture you? he said yes. I am yours and will always be yours. She said: Well, I beg you for the last time, don't understand what I'm going to do, because it's hard to understand even in my world. After finishing speaking, she exiled herself forever in the dark world of darkness as the price, so that Opheel returned home, fulfilled the love between him and his wife, and made the poet immortal with her own sacrifice. Before, she tempted him to come to her realm and said, "Because I haven't seen you, I have fallen in love with you; I have no right to fall in love with anyone, but I fall in love with you." After all, let go and achieve the greatest love.

The love between the poet and the god of death reveals the themes of Chinese opera: "the heavens and the earth are full of canco", "death is a dream", and "life and death follow one's wishes". As Tang Xianzu said: "Love does not know where it arises, but it goes deep. The living can die, the deceased can live, live but not die, and those who die but cannot resurrect are not the ultimate emotion." Gao Another famous book by Kedor, "The Beast and the Beauty", also describes this kind of love that transcends the boundary of life and death: the beast misses her beautiful woman, sleeps and eats, and is dying when she comes back. The beauty begged it to show courage, seize life, frighten death, the beast said: "If I am a human, I must be so. But I am just a beast, the poor beast will only die to prove his love." In ", the god of death said to the poet: miracles only happen in your world. The poet said: No, all the world will be moved by love. The world full of miraculous love by Gokdo deeply moved the audience.

Gorkdo regards his fantastic and magnificent stories as a living reality. He said in the film "Opheel's Last Words", the master said: "The unique charm of movies is that they can make many people have a common dream together and make people feel like movies. It is reality. In short, film is an excellent form of expression of poetry", he added: "My film is like a striptease, gradually stripping my body and revealing my naked soul. Because the audience expects to overload the reality of reality, This reality is bound to become a symbol of our time.” He also said: “Movies are fountains of petrified thoughts. Movies resurrect inanimate things so that I can express reality, and then reach the unreality (referring to those that overload our limits. The frontier of things)". For Gukdor, the film is his poems on the film with the camera as his pen. No matter how strange and beautiful and romantic the plot is, it is the reality in his eyes and the reflection of his innocent heart. In "Opheel", with the help of gloves and mirrors, people can use dreams as their horses, surpass life and death, and travel between yin and yang. Goctol’s films are actually gloves and mirrors that lead us to transcend the mundane world, eliminate the boundary between dreams and reality, and reach the most beautiful depths of life: the world of love and reality.

Gao Kduo is really a poet of love and sex.
