I went to watch this movie with my good sister (a girl who is very literary and thoughtful about film). The sisters saw a lot of nose and tears, but I watched it with righteous indignation, which made me strongly suspect that I must have understood something wrong. . I hope you can correct me.
First of all, what does this movie want to express?
Starting with the Hiroshima atomic bomb, the theme of the Cold War runs through the film. Undoubtedly, contradictions and struggles must be a very important theme.
But where is the contradiction? Where is the struggle?
It's not difficult to see that Roland (Daddy Ginger) is a complex of contradictions. On the one hand, he seems to be mature in thought and promotes freedom and independence of thought, on the other hand, he is emotionally fragile and hides in the music alone and crying. Fall in love with Rosa, but can't completely escape the condemnation of conscience and moral responsibility.
After watching the movie, my sister told me that everyone in this movie is innocent. Love is not wrong, and there is nothing wrong with yearning for freedom. But I think it's just the opposite.
I think what this film wants to show happens to be people looking for excuses for their plight under the guise of high-sounding.
For example, when Ginger's relationship breaks down, he yells that war will destroy the world and all of us will die. On the one hand, this is a very distorted view, on the other hand, this is not her problem at all. And because she didn't want to or could not bear the relationship between Roland and Rosa, she could only attribute everything to this damn cold war.
Roland does the same. The freedom of love and marriage were not the only tragic end, but he repeatedly avoided the problem, and even prevented Ginger from revealing it to Natalie (Ginger), and did not dare to tell Ginger Rosa about her pregnancy. Even when the problem broke out, he just shouted that he was not wrong, he was just pursuing his own independence and freedom, he just didn't stick to the stereotypes.
It is this misinterpretation and abuse of belief that encourages everyone to make mistakes with confidence. As repeated several times in the film:
How convenient.
The sister is a kind girl, and it hurts to see it. Tell me that life is like this. Although people are responsible for their own mistakes, life will plunge people into various predicaments. Everyone deserves sympathy.
But the hard-hearted me, but I can see through gritted teeth.
I saw my own shadow more or less in each character, so I hated their failure more or less.
Compassion is a terrible thing. When you begin to sympathize with yourself and start to make excuses for yourself to find steps, you are almost finished.
The end is considered conflict resolved, right?
The contradiction in Ginger's heart is that on the one hand, she is also an idealist like her father, who can sympathize with his father’s desire for freedom and autonomy in love, but on the other hand, she cannot accept the impact of her father and good friends together, and cannot bear her father’s deprivation. go. And deciding to forgive Rosa was the end of her contradiction.
Roland's apology has the same meaning. Under the pressure of moral conscience and responsibility, the idealist himself had to bow his head.
Forgive me for all the nonsense. If you know more about movies, please come and correct me.
