Film introduction
In the two categories of musical and romantic films, it is estimated that "Dream of Flowers" is a classic. The whole film is almost filled with music and singing from the beginning to the end, and more and more beautiful dance scenes are amazing... From an artistic point of view, this film is quite successful. In terms of plot, although it is not much different from most romance films, the theme of love has made the film have a certain charm. What's more, this love story integrates reality and musicals, and has constant audience suspense at the ending, which is novel.
Christian comes to Paris in search of art, but falls in love with Satine, who is seducing the duke for a sponsorship of the Moulin Rouge theatre expansion. Amid his charming looks, outstanding talent and heartfelt love songs, she also fell in love with him. The Duke also agreed to sponsor the theater, but on condition that Satine went with him after the show was successful. As the rehearsal of the stage play similar to their real relationship deepened, the secret relationship between Satine and Christian became more intense. In the end, the Duke intends to kill Christian, in order to save him, Satine agreed to the Duke's request and got angry with him. But he still doesn't quite believe all this. He appeared in the theater with Satine during the stage play and completed their desired ending, but Satine finally failed to get rid of tuberculosis and passed away... The
poet's love dream
For Christian, love is everything, without love, life is boring and meaningless. He kept repeating this sentence: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. (The greatest thing in the world is to love and be loved). Before coming to Paris, he only knew that love was beautiful, but he had never tried it, so he was full of enthusiasm for the pursuit of love. The essence of the Bohemian revolutionary spirit: freedom, beauty, truth, love, what Christian desires most is love. When she meets the beautiful and passionate Satine, he can't help but fall in love with her. This is not only because of her beauty and passion, but also because he sees that his love dream is not out of reach but right in front of his eyes. His frantic pursuits, verses, songs, hints, confessions... moved Satine, the famous Moulin Rouge courtesan, who made her fall in love with the poet desperately. They worked on the script together, teased each other, kissed passionately...it was sneaky, but they enjoyed it.
The good times did not last long, and his love dream was finally shattered. The Duke discovers their unusual relationship and demands that their rehearsed stage play ends as he wishes. In the end, he even threatened Satine with Christian's life to make him annoy the poet. Although his obsession was that he returned to the theater, perhaps as he said in the narration, "there is something darker than the duke and stronger than love. Power is about Satine", this power is Satine's pain. Tuberculosis finally took Satine's life and destroyed the poet's beautiful dream, the greatest dream in the world, a dream for which you can give up everything, a dream about eternal love... The
poet's artistic dream
The pursuit of art is the main purpose of Christian's visit to Paris, and with his bohemian spirit and poetic temperament he is destined to have a place in the arts. When he first arrived in Paris, he impressed several artists with the same dream with his beautiful lines, so he got a job writing a screenplay. His play was rehearsed by the Moulin Rouge into a stage play, and the duke liked their play very much, and the stage play was a great success. For the most part, his artistic journey in Paris was a success. This not only comes from the success of his stage play script, but also from his script based on his love story with Satine "this is the story about love, the love that will live forever." Even if he can't be alone with his beloved The city where Satine Zeng lived, he would leave the place where he pursued his dreams, but this would not change his artistic success in this city.
Dream Broken Flowers!? The answer is clear: For the poet's dream of love, flowers are the place where this dream is shattered; for the poet's artistic dream, flowers are the cradle of dreams...
Love and Drama AS Love and Life
In the film, love is the theme of their rehearsal, which tells the love story of an Indian lord, a luthier and a prostitute. Satine and Christian hoped that the prostitute chose the harpist, but the duke hoped that the prostitute chose the lord, in order to match the love entanglement and outcome of the three of them in reality. But no matter what the ending is, the play will always go on. Maybe "the show must go on" in the film shows that no matter what the ending of the love is, as long as it is a love story, the ending does not affect the performance of the play.
Isn't that what love is in life? No matter whether the love in life is ups and downs or bittersweet, life must go on. HERE "life must go on". In what way, human existence is not for love, but for life. It is said that life is wonderful and meaningful, and love may only be one of the ways.
I personally do not oppose the yearning for a good love, which is quite the same as the yearning for a good life. Since it is beautiful, we should pursue it. But reality is reality after all, the goal of life requires us even if love fails, or even love does not exist, LIFE STILL MUST GO ON. Because life is everything. Some people compare love to death, when death comes we have no choice at all, and love is the same. In this case, is it a good idea for us to have a good yearning and look at it with the flow?
