The prosperity is gone, life is an illusion of nothingness

Jackie is talented and has mature playing skills, but she has left the cello and the stage where the lights are focused. She is just an immature child.

She hates the flying touring performances. She doesn't even know how to wash her clothes. She sends the clothes home to her mother. When she receives the package of clean clothes, her tired eyes suddenly flashed bright, as if she was thirsty. The reader is full of joy and satisfaction when he sees the water source. She spread her clothes on the bed, lay on it and surrounded herself with clothes, deeply inhaling the faint smell of home in her clothes. She is such a child who loves home.


She escaped from the concert and went to the farm of her sister Hilary and brother-in-law Kiffer. In the evening they were drinking and chatting. She half-jokingly said to Hilary, I want to sleep with Kiffer. Her sister was stunned, and she said, You don't mind, do you, sis? We always did say that we' d share everything. How could Hilary agree. Jackie doesn't necessarily love Kiffer. She is like a child, treating her brother-in-law as a plush doll. Since her sister can have it, why can't she? She also wants to share the fun with Hilary.


Hilary found out that Jackie was missing the next day, and desperately rushed into the forest to search for it. She still loved her sister very much, even if Jackie made such unreasonable demands of her. When she saw Jackie's clothes being abandoned on the grass one by one, her eyes showed great panic and panic, and finally found Jackie naked in a bush. Jackie hugged her legs and trembled violently in the cold. She threw stones at Hilary and refused Hilary's approach. She tearfully said with all her strength, You don't love me. Don't fucking love me. She cut her wrist with a pine branch. Jackie was already going crazy, Hilary wrapped her unconscious in her coat, and hugged her in his arms sadly.

My sister finally compromised. She went to convince Kiffer. Kiffer felt unreasonable. However, Hilary said something that could not be refuted, She just wants to proof, proof that somebody loves her. The


director then arranged two very contrasting scenes. First The second time was when Kiffer and Jackie were having sex at night, but Hilary was lying on the big bed alone and couldn't fall asleep. She must be very uncomfortable. Finally, she quietly went to her daughter's room, squeezed into the small bed and hugged the sleeping daughter tightly in her arms. After giving up her husband, the only thing she has is her daughter.


The second time Kiffer found Hilary's sadness. He sneaked back to the room in the middle of the night and made love to Hilary. Jackie found out, and played the cello in the living room late at night. It was Concerto for Cello and Orchestra in E Minor. His voice was sad and sad, as if he had been wronged. Hilary said, I've given you everything. However, the furry doll does not belong to her in the end. She is like a child who can't get the toy she likes in front of her parents, using the cello to vent her unhappiness. The music played by Jacqueline Du Pre is full of complicated information, pain, sorrow, and helplessness. A woman as young as her should not have so much emotion in the performance. Finally, I heard that the whispering complaints under the cello were despair.



In the end, she left the farm with the cello on her back in the early morning, with a face of determination and determination. She returned to her reluctant playing life. When the brilliant performance like fireworks ended, all she left was the eternal loneliness in the sound of the piano.

In her prime, she had been paralyzed for more than ten years. When she was dying, she kept twitching in the bed, and her husband couldn't stabilize her. And Hilary, who had been telepathic with her thousands of miles away, rushed over amidst the wind and rain. My sister finally forgave her, yes, what is unforgivable in the face of time and death. She held Jackie with her hands and feet twitching in her arms, and talked about their childhood, and said the words that kept recurring in the film, Everything's going to be all right. Jackie, who seemed to understand, finally calmed down in her sister's arms.


In Hilary's words, Jackie is a powerful and irresistible tide. From the first day of her inspiration, the whole family has been carried forward by this tide, becoming more and more powerless. Jackie is an elf who has fallen into the world. She ignores the laws of the world. She acts according to her own ideas. She lives by her own temperament. This is her innocence and directness. She uses undisguised innocence and direct performance. Out of the music that conquered the world, she also had to be unabashedly innocent and directly hurt the people around her who loved her the most.


Jackie never seemed to cherish the love of others for her, recklessly, and perverse personality. And I know that her unsightly life is the ultimate expression of her inner loneliness. Music and reputation brought pain, loss, and confusion. She was too young to carry such heavy emotions. She can only play the love, hate, and sorrow that she has accumulated in her heart on the cello.



Thinking of the words of the ruffian Tsai in "Night Rose", loneliness is indeed different from loneliness, loneliness only means that there is no one else around. But loneliness is a mental state in which you cannot communicate or share your feelings with others. Yes, Jackie is not alone. She has parents who love her, her parents, sister and husband, but she has loneliness that she can’t get rid of. This loneliness is a deadly poison, like a ghost, it will accompany her through her short life like fireworks. .
