At the very beginning, there was an eagle. It landed on the ground and picked up a stone. After flying high, it threw the stone down and killed a sheep on the ground, just in front of the lamas on the way. The lamas are here to take back Taxi who has been meditating for three years, three months and three days in the inaccessible places in the mountains, a good lama who has devoted himself to practicing and is praised by everyone.
The last shot also showed an eagle. When Tasidu was in the dust and fell on the dusty ground, his tears were still wet, and he subconsciously looked up and saw an eagle. Its talons were empty and flying freely in the blue sky. This is the end of the video.
The eagle only appeared twice in the film, but it was at the beginning and the end, and it was plain and unrepresented, and an inattentive viewer would probably have a glimpse of it. Although it has a profound meaning that cannot be ignored. And it is not only the eagle that is also ignored? Under the translation of "Lust, Caution" and the classification of "erotic film", the film has been misunderstood in the Chinese world for a long time and ridiculously. Under the interpretation of "erotic", a rare work that explores the Buddhist scriptures is mostly attracted to those who go to see Zhong Liti take off his clothes. I can’t help but think of Tathagata’s comment in Journey to the West: “But those who look to the south of the continent are greedy for misfortune, killing and fighting, as the so-called fierce tongue is the sea of evil.” Sin, sin.
In fact, Samsara is an ancient Indian language. The definition I found in the dictionary is: "the endless cycle of birth and suffering and death and rebirth", which refers to the endless cycle of birth and suffering and death and rebirth. As the saying goes,'Who has suffering is all suffering, who gets peace?' There is an answer in the Buddhist scriptures. "The scripture says: There is suffering if there is no need, and there is happiness without asking." The answer is simple, but it is difficult to understand. It is even more difficult to practice. It is the good Lama Tasi who has been sitting in meditation for three years in the film. After returning to the temple, his heart is very hot, and it is the most difficult person's great desire to bypass: lust.
Does a lama have lust, or have thoughts of lust? Perhaps, many people have had such doubts like me. Today, when Buddhism has long been industrialized in the vulgarization of Central China, it has been long since monks and nuns have affair or got married. Today, which is not new, the purity of the group of lamas is unbelievable. Although this issue is approached, the film focuses on the exploration of "desire" and "dao", not "lust" or "caution". Whoever translated the name is really wrong.
There are many details to define that Samsara is completely indifferent to such glamorous names as'Seduction', purely an inquiry into the depths of human nature. Some details can be testified. For example, the night when Taxi returned to the Lama Temple, he began to have spermatorrhea in his dream. There was no provocation or stimulating shots from women, but the natural germination of human nature. But Taxi insisted on returning to the vulgarity after meeting the Tibetan girl Dama played by Zhong Liti, and the pink skull and crossbones shown to him by the old monk had no awakening effect on him. In the argument with the old monk, Apo, what he said was very meaningful. (Unfortunately, I can’t remember the original words, but to the effect): You often teach me the greatness of Buddha, how to abandon his wife and children, and abandon the throne. , Finally got the way. But before he enlightened him, he already had everything, wealth, status, wives and children, and people's love for everything. It is precisely because he has lived these things that he can give up everything and finally realize Bodhi. I have been a monk as a monk since I was a child, and I haven't experienced a trace of what it's like to live in this world. How do I really understand everything I have learned if I haven't experienced them personally?
Tasi finally went down the mountain, chased the Tibetan girl he liked, grew up long hair, had a child, lived a life of thick and soft life, had a small livelihood, skirmishes, and even some temptations . Time passed. One year, their field was burned by a treacherous food purchaser. He went to seek justice, but was beaten violently. He had to recuperate at home, and his wife had to go to the city to sell goods. At this time, Tassi was uneasy. An Indian woman came to ask for wages. She was young and beautiful. She harvested food for a living during the harvest season. The ghosts are sent by the gods, the desire is on the verge, and they have sex (in a particularly fragrant posture). When his clothes were not ready, he heard the ringing of his wife's horses, and Tasi was panicked and pushed the woman out. The shame of cheating makes him uneasy. When he was devastated and confessed on the Mani pile, the lama who had practiced together came solo and brought the news of Apo's death. He read Apo's letterhead, and it said (to the effect):
"... .. When we meet again in the future time and space, I want to hear you tell me your answer: Which one is better? Is it to satisfy a thousand desires? Or overcome only one of them? "It
is to satisfy a thousand desires? ?Or to overcome only one of them?
I guess (not written in the play), after seeing this, Tasi immediately realized. Therefore, he quietly went back to the monastery with his wife on his back the next morning, but his wife intercepted him on the road. After a hearty expression, he let him go. Tasi passed by Mani, who passed by when he finished his meditation last time. Pile, the stone above, wrote the same question:
How to prevent a drop of water from drying up?
However, this time Tassi walked up and turned the stone over. He saw the answer:
Throw it into the sea .
What does this mean?
If Tasie is smart enough, he will definitely think of a game that his wife and children played in the past. They put a small branch in the water and his wife teased them. What would happen to this small branch?
It will sink, the children said. The wife said, what if not?
Will be blocked by a stone!
If not?
Will be entangled by branches!
If not? The
children were speechless. Finally, the wife said: In
that case, this small branch will reach the sea.
It was at that time that Tasi saw the eagle, but this time, it soared freely and freely, and there was no desire to grab a stone for no reason, so the sacrificed lamb was finally spared.
The article could have ended here, but I still want to make it clear.
What is a drop of water and what is a twig?
------- An individual. It can also refer to each of us. Every life, in the vast and boundless world, is as lonely as a drop of water, helpless, drifting with the waves like a small branch. Isn't it?
What is the sea?
----- Broad wisdom, energy. The beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The accumulation of non-material conscious. The place where each of us came, and the place where we will return after the reincarnation.
What is dry-up? What is the possible fate of all kinds of twigs besides returning to the sea?
------ Dry-up refers to the in vain of life. That is the end of life without penetrating great wisdom and failing to discover the meaning of one's life.
The possible fate of the twigs indicates the ups and downs of finding the road to great wisdom. There are various traps that can keep you from moving forward, and you can only reach the end by overcoming them one by one.
What is an eagle? A stone? and a smashed sheep?
——The eagle is the true nature of our soul soaring freely, the stone is our heavy flesh, and the sheep is a sacrifice.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
This is my interpretation, you can have yours too.
It is rare to comment on a film, because this film has been "erotic", so I have not been interested in watching it in China. Encountered now, I really feel aggrieved for what happened in this film.
It is said that because of the light of Li Ang's "Lust Caution", many people who don't know the truth rushed to download it, and then they yelled at it, eh.
In fact, this film has a high score on IMDB, which is comparable to Li Ang’s lust, (one 7.6, one 7.7). Many of Bertolucci’s erotic and erotic films include "the dreamer" , "Last Tango in Paris" is taller.
