The first is the complex character emotions shown in the play:
Anna---the true love that is always missing: Anna, who can't help herself while standing on the seashore, her white wedding dress fluttering in the waves, merging with the white sandy beach, and true love also follows the years Washed by the waves and accepted the baptism of history. Maybe I will never have true love again, and the appearance and departure of the boy makes the little hope I hold shattered again. Before Sean died, how much she hoped Sean could really fall in love with her. And then she's going to live with someone she doesn't love.
Shaun the boy---the never-impossible incestuous love: the boy standing on the tree thinking alone, like a lonely bird, can no longer fly---it confirms the metaphor at the beginning of the film: "If Anna Turn into a bird and tell me she's Anna, and I'll believe her." But the reality is, he's not a bird, and he's not Sean, he's just an ordinary boy, and he can't fall in love with Anna. It was precisely because he fell in love with Anna that he bravely told Anna that he was her husband, and it was precisely because he loved Anna that he chose to leave and let Anna lead a happy and stable life.
Anna's current husband, Sean's mistress, and mistress' husband, they fell in love with someone who could never love them, even if it was true love, they couldn't be together.
In the end, it was Anna's dead husband Sean---he never loved Anna before his death. He loved the woman with big eyes and long soft hair who was the opposite of Anna's temperament. Maybe he couldn't face Anna. The fiery love has always felt ashamed of being with Anna, so she never cut off the relationship between husband and wife and eloped with the mistress.
Secondly, the whole film is full of too many director's feelings for love and life, but the director never expresses it in any lines, all relying on his excellent camera control ability. The most amazing thing is that this film tells the story between Anna and the boy from the beginning to the end, but at the end of the film, the character of Anna's true love, her husband Sean, can really jump on the camera. Those skilled lens languages are shown one by one through long lenses:
At the beginning, the long shot of Sean running and suddenly falling down symbolizes the long and unknown life; the long shot of Anna almost falling in the theater in the film shows the
process of Anna from not believing in the boy to believing in the boy; The shot of the boy taking the graduation photo symbolizes that the boy is just one of thousands of ordinary boys, but he is the only one, a special one. .
The excellent acting skills of the actors, Nick Kidman's emotionally unrestrained acting; the young actors showing more charisma than adults are the biggest highlights of the film. If it weren't for their meaningful
eyes and emotional performances, we wouldn't be able to. There are so many interpretations of this film. In several scenes where the little boy and Anna looked at each other, the emotional communication between the characters
was revealed in their eyes and silence. The tension in this shot is not something every director can do; there are also scenes in the film. The music, whether it is the fresh piano or the repeated suspenseful themes and motives, shroud the film with a mysterious but warm atmosphere, which undoubtedly adds a lot to the film.
Maybe it is the fault of life that makes life more beautiful; maybe it is wrong again and again, we will cherish everything. No matter how you interpret this film, whether you believe that the boy is Sean or not, you will definitely be moved by the wrong love and true love of each character in the play, and regret the loss of life, the director is to express the right through the lens The emotion, helplessness and regret of life are also because life is not complete, so you love it more, don't you?
