Movies worth watching are still worth watching

Why didn't I know there was such a thing as a "straw dog" in China? Paper sedan chairs and horses don't count, right?

It's not a matter of classes, it's a fragmented fragment of people's lives with different lives.

The heroine is from a small town, no matter how hard she tries, she will never be able to escape from her origin. This is the entanglement caused by leaving and returning, the constant psychological cutting and the emotional separation. It's an unsolvable mess.

At the heart of the film is this constantly struggling self.

The rest of the characters and plot revolve entirely around this core.

It doesn't matter what the ending of the movie is. Have you ever thought about whether the male and female protagonists are really suitable for each other?

Ha, of course not.

Because it's an unresolved struggle. She will experience denial, hope, affirmation, denial... in different lives all her life. Storms don't stop.
