It is said that the film attracts directors because of its original work, "Bitter Sea". The sea of suffering is boundless, where is the shore. Such historical themes and the great love of humanity reflected in it made the director determined to make it into a movie.
The Communist Party played by Fa Ge and He Ke and Li, two foreigners, moved the children to the road of Shandan. Fa Ge said to He Ke: “In fact, the Chinese are the nation that can bear the most humiliation. Life is like a sea of suffering. The surrounding sea is surging. As long as her head can be exposed to the surface, she can continue to live no matter how hard she is. In fact, Li is more like a Chinese than a Chinese, and you have to show her hope." Li has lived in China for five years. A top student of Oxford University, working as a doctor in the field. Years of rushing to fight the war made her exhausted physically and mentally. At that moment, she was floating in the sea of suffering, helpless. At the end of the film, they finally brought the children to Shandan. He Ke passed away. She who thought she was going to leave the sea of suffering, may still struggle in her heart. Of course, these are not the themes that the film wants to express. Only children can become themes. But the "sea of bitterness" that flashed by gave me the biggest thinking. The plunder in the war and the annihilation of humanity make everyone hover on the cliff of despair. In Buddhism, the sea of suffering is a metaphor for the world of suffering and trouble, and for the difficult situation. In fact, they are all struggling in a sea of bitterness. For a Communist like brother, they choose between love and war and have a gun for life; Michelle Yeoh, a businesswoman wandering between black and white, had to sell her property in order to help He Ke. , Even compromised in front of Kuomintang officers; Li traveled around China to rescue the wounded and rescued the wounded; He Ke followed Li to Huangshi after a series of incidents such as field interviews and survival in danger, and helped the children avoid the war and stay away from the war. The sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning around is the shore, but in the war, they all rushed to the boundless sea of bitterness without hesitation, even if there was only one raft.
In the end, when He Ke was about to pass away, I don’t know if it was the director’s intention or coincidence. He lay in front of a Buddha and told Li his own voice. At that time, I didn’t know if he got rid of the nightmare in his heart. I hope his The soul is far away from the sea of suffering.
