Works describing the lives of educated youth cannot avoid the topic of love, usually a short-lived relationship between a male educated youth and a country girl that is doomed to fail. The scene of Luo Ming and Ma Jianling reading foreign novels to the little tailor reminded me of the Moon Bay Brigade in "The North Wind Blows", taking advantage of the dark night to tell the educated youth about "Red and Black". Young people with sprouting hearts can't stop the invasion of love.
It is a beautiful thing in the world to peek at a girl taking a bath in the mountains. Luo Ming saw the beautiful little tailor in the lake, and because of this, he accidentally fell into the deep pit, and the beautiful love began like this.
Ma Jianling used the violin to play Mozart's tune for the villagers. The production leader said that the title of the tune should be "Mozart (Old Mo) often misses Chairman Mao". Coupled with the song "Red Guards on the Prairie Meets Chairman Mao" that appeared many times in the film, the spiritual outlook of the Cultural Revolution was displayed in front of the audience. People's thirst for spirituality and knowledge cannot be curbed. Ma Jianling transcribed passages from his beloved novels on the lining of his waistcoat, which shocked people and felt the repression and resistance during the Cultural Revolution. However, the film is not immersed in a depressing atmosphere, on the contrary, it is sometimes joyful. Luo Ming and Ma Jianling told the old tailor novels, but the old man became fascinated by the story of the European continent, which is far away by thousands of rivers and mountains. Since then, his tailoring style has changed greatly, and a Mediterranean style has been blowing in the mountain village, which has become the forefront of Chinese fashion. This episode makes people happy and worried. This is a bourgeois way of life. It's incredible to be stabbed out, but who in the mountain village would know what the Mediterranean is.
The little tailor went out of the mountain and went to the outside world to find a new life. Romin said she was inspired by Balzac's words - a woman's beauty is priceless. But I wonder, can just one sentence or a book really make a girl in the mountains leave her homeland regardless of her elderly grandpa? I think it's the little tailor's escape when faced with the difficult choice of love. She fell in love with Luo Ming at first, and had a romantic relationship with him. But during the few months that Luo Ming went home to see her seriously ill father, Ma Jianling accompanied her day and night, read novels to her, and found a doctor for her to perform abortion. No matter how stupid the little seamstress was, she could see the affection of the horse for her. If they had to choose between the two, the brotherhood would be broken, which the little tailor must have been unable to bear to witness. In this case, choosing neither seems to be the easiest decision.
As Ma Jianling said at the end of the film, he and Luo Mingai's little tailor are different. The love between Luo Ming and the little tailor is like a fiery flame, quickly wrapping both sides, and soon there is a skin affinity and a strong desire for possession. For Ma Jianling, the little tailor is the holy girl he admires, and he is willing to accompany her silently and guard her silently. When sucking out the poisonous blood for the little tailor who was bitten by the poisonous snake, the little tailor asked the horse strangely: It wasn't you who was bitten, why are you shaking? In fact, it's easy to understand. With physical contact with the beloved girl, can you not tremble with nervousness? Looking back carefully, there seems to be a close-to-showdown conversation between the little tailor and Ma Jianling. It was the day when Luo Ming was away, Ma Jianling was eager to read Lu Xun's book to the little tailor, but she said that she still liked Balzac. That was the book that Luo Ming had read to her for so long. Maybe this was the little tailor's hint that Ma Jianling had only Luo Ming in her heart.
When the little tailor was leaving, she kissed Luo Ming on the cheek, while Ma Jianling watched her leave silently from a distance. It shows that Ma Jianling never expects anything in this love. He only hopes that the little tailor can be happy and see the beautiful new world outside.
