It was the appearance of Luo Ming and Ma Jianling who opened a window to a new world for the little tailor's life, but no one would help her on her way. After receiving the stimulation of fresh ideas and the pain of youth, the innocent girl burst out with a desire for a new world enough to help her out of the mountain. Leaving the regrets of the love that the two educated youth were deeply engulfed in, he could not let it go until more than 20 years later. The two forms of love represented by the two male protagonists are one is possessing and the other is giving.
The love between Luo Ming and the little tailor is as beautiful and free of impurities as the love of all youth. Luo Ming's feelings are straightforward and hot, and his blood and youth are desperate.
Ma Jianling's love in the play is pure, firm and lasting. He never uttered his love, but his emotions guided every decision he made. When Luo Ming fell in love with the little tailor, he didn't bother but just stayed by the side; when the little tailor was pregnant, he tried his best to help her solve the problem; when the little tailor left, he just stood far away without a word of retention. There was no goodbye; more than twenty years later he jumped into the river for an illusory opportunity to look up the name on the paper boat, but if he could find it, he didn't even know her name; he took a documentary and drowned It's not just the Three Gorges, it's the youth of the three teenagers, and everything about the lover who he never said or received a response from. (In fact, Ma Jianling has always been the most literary and romantic character in the play. When Luo Ming was talking about the movie, he made snow, and when the little tailor had an abortion, he played music outside the window. What a lovely character. It is also from his perspective. , which makes the whole film look more literary and artistic, even in the most dreary era, people feel that there is no interest and yearning, and it is full of the beauty of life.)
There are many forms of love, and everyone has a measure in their hearts. Its ruler cannot judge which love is greater. Compared with the two infatuated educated youths, some people would think that the little tailor is cold-blooded and ruthless, but doesn't the little tailor love Luo Ming? Only tears know~ When she learned that Luo Ming was going back to the city to see her seriously ill father, her first reaction was not to act like a spoiled child or to complain. The act of jumping into the water to catch the turtle without hesitation is enough to prove her love for Luo Ming. In one part of the play, Luo Ming used the name of teaching and literacy to fool the little tailor and said I love you ten times. At that time, the love in the words was green and simple. It can't be said that the little tailor at that time was unintentional, but it can only be said that the teenagers in the eighteenth and nineteenth year could not understand the meaning of more love. And the love of action is so deep. I think that miscarriage was the fuse that changed the fate of the little tailor, and maybe it was also her idea of going out at that time. The little tailor on the operating table had tears in her eyes, but her eyes were so firm, as if she had figured out a lot of things in the pain, and the operation had brought her back to life.
Balzac's book tells the reason for the departure of the little tailor, saying in the book that "love is the indulgence of reason, the enjoyment of the great mind, the solemn enjoyment. The savage has only emotions, and the civilized man has thoughts in addition to emotions. Give yourself to the emotional domination of the moment, but the civilized people use their thoughts to subtly influence their emotions." This passage in the play was interrupted by the arrival of Ma Jianling, but the director has already given the most accurate explanation here. The little tailor was reluctant to be a barbarian. She proved her identification with Balzac with her actions, and this identification and understanding went far beyond her two teachers.
There are two relationships in the play that seem to be deliberately avoided by the director. First, does Luo Ming know what happened to the little tailor after he left? Also, is the little tailor aware of Ma Jianling's feelings? Could she not know? is not possible. Ma Jianling chose to accept all her sacrifices. When he left, Luo Ming asked who changed you. He didn't know what kind of answer he expected at that time. It was Balzac who influenced and made her decide to run away, but it was also fate that brought the two mentors to her and sent her away. I want to add another hypothesis, maybe she can't bear two hot loves at the same time, she understands that choosing one side is hurting the other side. And she can no longer play the role of receiving love all the time. From her character, it can be seen that she is a woman of resilience and great energy, but she is not satisfied with the constraints of her birth and environment on her inner energy. After the miscarriage, she said that she seemed to have become a different person. Maybe it was because she experienced physical and mental pain that she was no longer afraid. Maybe...
The beauty of youth lies in the fearless power to lead the young man to go forward bravely and explore a different world. . In "To Youth", it is said that youth is for remembrance, and those who become mature after experience and polishing are not secretly envious of themselves when they were young. No matter how many years later, the rise of the corner of the mouth or the tightness between the brows is the best proof of life. If you are still young, isn't it the greatest happiness!
