"Indochine" (1992) at first glance at the name, I thought it was a story that happened in India or China, but it actually refers to Vietnam. This is also the place I often thank the movie. It opens up to understand foreign land, understand the past, and understand others. Of a small window. In the past, I never cared about Vietnam being a French colony, and what kind of Indochina complex the French had.

The handsome actor Vincent Perez in "Indochina" is the tangled man in another French movie "Fang Fang" I just watched. He always pursues Sophie Marceau in order to prevent the deterioration of love, but Never have a blind date with her skin. Sophie Marceau, Catherine Deneuve, Van Lindan, and Vincent Perez all talked about love with three goddess-level characters in two movies.

"Watching Movie" magazine once summed up this movie in one sentence: Vietnam's scenery and epic love are also appropriate. The true story is that the mother and daughter fell in love with the same man, and vice versa.

"Indochina" reminds many people of another movie "The Lover" that took place in Saigon. Fortunately, the location is the same. I think "Indochina" feels like "The Veil", according to Maugham's novel. The adaptation of "The Veil": the face of the old Asian countries, the old scenery, the human feelings, and the taste of life. It is not only an oil painting-like colorful texture, but also faintly cruel and helpless.

How much you can gain in love often depends on how much you dare to give, as in Liu Ruoying’s song, "I want to ask if you dare to love me like you said", just like a French movie " The English name of "Two Little No Guess" reveals, Love Me, If You Dare.

For the mothers and daughters in "Indochina", love is not the most important thing to them. French ladies, mothers, plantation owners, love and look down on love, adopted daughters, and even the whole of Vietnam; but the same noble temperament Adopted daughter, a princess in trouble in Vietnam, because of the experience of fleeing with the bottom family in Vietnam, she has tempered her will to pursue the independence of the country and the nation without hesitation.

The difference between them is the different choices when they find their lover, one looks forward and backward, and the other is desperate. The contrast is a bit like Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min, and the ending is naturally intertwined with cause and effect. Humans are emotional animals. If someone is like Came or Zhao Min, who rushes to the fire, most of them no man or woman can resist.

  • Guy: Give me Le Guen.

    L'Admiral: No.

    Guy: What will you do with him?

    L'Admiral: I'm awaiting orders from Paris.

    Guy: Let me question him. What he knows about the communist networks and leaders is of major interest to us.

    L'Admiral: Three points, Mr. Asselin. One: Le Guen doesn't talk. He hasn't spoken since his arrest. Not even to my chief of staff - his classmate. Two: If I hand him over to you, he might talk. But I'd rather not. We know your methods. Three: Le Guen is a sailor. His case will be tried by sailors. Any relevant information will be passed along to you.
