From the perspective of a teenager, the film unfolds the story and proposes a love theme - is love worth believing?
Love is different from family and friendship. It is the topic that people are most keen to explore. It is discussed in various forms, but it does not have a more unified view like family and friendship. It keeps multiplying its appearance, so that people have doubts in front of its unpredictable and bizarre mask: what is love? Can you really believe in love?
From the moment he meets Mud, the teenager Ellis is involved in a world he doesn't actually understand - adult love. Setting Ellis' age at 14 is a bit cruel. A 14-year-old boy is even more beautiful than the so-called 16-year-old flower season, and his understanding of life has become richer, but not complicated. Therefore, the love that a 14-year-old understands is very simple and persistent, and it is determined, pure and direct. Concept of Love. Perhaps the comprehension at the age of 14 is not enough to form a "view", but this is the most precious beginning. Ellis thinks that people who love each other can be together forever, so he takes risks for his love, so he chases May Pearl, but doesn't understand the fickleness of girls.
Mud seems to be the grown-up version of Ellis, who loves Juniper to the point of paranoia that makes him look like a lover himself. He taught every unreliable boyfriend of Juniper and acted as a caregiver. At first, you listen to Mud talk about his love, his juniper, you will think he is a lover, can't stay with his lover for a long time, and has been adrift for love.
However, with the appearance of Juniper, the story is slowly unraveled, and the hero's poetic pathos turns into love Rashomon.
Each of us expresses love differently and feels love differently. We draw the blueprint of love in our imagination, imagine how our loved ones are grateful to us, how to embrace us with joy, but back to reality, you find that the other party does not feel or hug you, Can't even feel your love. Juniper is an amorous and somewhat slutty woman. Judging from her multiple boyfriends and her tacit relationship with Mud, she doesn't have a man and can't live very well. But it is such a character that explains Mud's love behavior from an opposite. Mud kills for her, takes risks for her, and because she flees, Juniper sees it as reckless, reckless, and self-righteous, so she rejects Mud's plan to escape together. Mud ignores the actual life of him and Juniper after the escape, and love often fails when faced with the matter of living. Mud lives in his own powerful love hypnosis, but Juniper understands this truth in past relationships. She told Ellis that Mud was always lying...
Ellis, who was only 14 years old, was clearly bewildered by such complicated feelings. He thinks that he can do everything for love, but the love between Mud and Juniper is love. He is dealing with a story that is difficult to tell right from wrong, and like most stories in the world, it is not black and white.
May Pearl's ambiguity and fickleness also made Ellis confused again. Obviously she has already dated, and she obviously responded to her confession with a kiss, why is she flirting with other boys now?
Under the love of Rasho, Ellis, like Mud, made the mistake of self-righteousness and confessed love on his own, but he didn't know how the other party felt.
So did Ellis' parents' marital crisis. The husband cares about his "man's career" to support the family, complaining that his wife doesn't respect him. The wife needs better living security, and she is still unconvinced that her husband is incompetent. Giving and returning love is always difficult to make ends meet because we are always talking to ourselves.
The whole film uses rivers, woods and boats to express a kind of rural poetry. The open area of the river is endless, and the mysterious woods on the river bank add to the flexibility of the story. The "boat" connects the whole story, carrying Ellis's childhood. , Mud's love madness. Although love is unpredictable, the director doesn't spread much sadness or blame men or women. It's just that under the love of Rasho, the question is thrown - do you still believe in love?
When I think of the song "The Gun of Love", it is very suitable for footnote this story:
lend me that gun, you said that you don't need that thing to kill anyone.
Could it be that some people are tired of love,
lend me that gun, or lend me fifty cents money
I want to catch the express train and went straight north
to kill it or kill honest love it
to join our team when the north wind blew
kill the truth of it or kill it lies
Fortunately, the north wind blows wild Singing a passionate march in the middle,
lend me that gun, I didn't say that I couldn't use that thing, maybe
someone gave you a chance to make you feel inferior,
lend me that gun, or lend me fifty cents
, and I will go to the North not return
if one day I would come back because I do not feel sad
swallows happens to come with a new message when the spring breeze green
it is because I want you
to go north with me, right
there snowing let my soul in a hot sprinkled Frost a wild
and I love to escape to the north of it superficial
country south too cutesy corrosion my blood
to kill or kill honest it love it
love comes at the right time you will betray your honest doctrine
kill the truth of it or kill lie
Don't let them be on the side of the hostile.
Lend me that gun. I didn't say I can't use that stuff.
When the truth is on the side of lies, I'll deal with myself.
Lend my gun or lend me fifty cents. Money The
southern country is too charming and easy to cover my eyes
If one day I come back, please don't feel sad for me
Swallows will bring messages when the spring breeze blows new green It
's because I miss you
