very good.
An elderly couple and their wife entered a nursing home due to amnesia in old age. A month later, the husband found that his wife had forgotten him and fell in love with another patient.
During the whole process, the husband experienced separation, betrayal, and saw his lover fall in love with others. The husband goes through purgatory completely, but he still needs to find the courage to live for his wife, even to find love for his wife, and even sacrifice his color in exchange for it.
The story is told soothingly and deeply, meticulously and restrained, so it doesn't look dull, and even the time is forgotten, and at the end, I suddenly feel, ah, the movie is over.
And behind, there is a broad care in it.
This movie can make people think a lot, think very far.
Think about the meaning of life and more.
I also think of Lai Shengchuan's "Red Sky". The play is also set in a nursing home, which also makes people think. But the drama is abstract, like poetry. The film is rich in detail, like a novel.
What is the meaning of life, or how to resist the shortness of life, such as the fleeting memory in the film. If memory does not exist, where does the meaning of life exist?
I saw another movie the day before yesterday, "Frida".
That movie took a long time to watch because there was some kind of resistance. After reading it, I thought about how disturbing the artist's career is. Turbulence is the life of art itself. How scary it would be to be an artist. Always lose peace. There will never be the happiness of ordinary people. Passion to accompany life, we must pay the price of inner peace.
After reading it, I was thinking, if I didn't pay attention back then and embarked on the road of painting, what kind of life would I be living now. An artist's work is life.
Fortunately, writing is different from painting, and the writer just needs to sink down and be a bystander. Writers have the possibility of a peaceful life, and they also need a peaceful life. A man on the shore.
But watching "The Willows and Flowers" today reminded me that "Frida" can just solve the problems raised by "The Willows". The value of life lies in creation.
This looks like an old-fashioned saying. But when faced with eternal problems, this is the explanation I need.
