Silk, slender, smooth and white, flows into a man's heart like a trickle, setting off endless longing and lust, with the beauty of depravity and destruction, with the joy of heartbeat and indulgence, with the lingering grief and remorse.
Dense hot spring water, snow-covered tree branches, black hair and eyes of an oriental woman, misty smoke, the story begins with a dream like a fairyland.••••••
A small village in France, a handsome and sunny The young man, Elvie, met the most important person in his life, Hai Lin, during his military vacation. They fell in love with each other and got married. The beautiful and pure lilies witnessed their beautiful love. The lilies that appear repeatedly throughout the film symbolize the sea Lynn's noble love ethics. In the garden like a fairyland outside the world, they made a pledge: to grow old together, to accompany this life.
Tired of the stupid war, Alvey accepted the commission of a textile merchant and went to Japan to find silkworm eggs that would not get sick. Along the way, the director showed his aesthetic and real naturalistic feelings to the fullest. Unparalleled wonders, deserts where yellow sand and blue sky meet, Siberia against the backdrop of cold winds and blizzards, long rivers, sunsets, and dangers. However, after the physical challenge reaches the limit, it achieves the feat of the journey. However, the spiritual encounter is a curse that can never be broken away. It will always pull you, making you desperate, moths to the flame, almost disillusioned.
In the island country of Japan, Elvie met a mysterious woman, whose seductive hands were on the eastern tea ceremony, and her snow-white skin summoned the caress of a man. She, without a word, has captured his heart, and she, lying on someone else's lap, is a temptation to him. The snow-capped villa is full of oriental mysteries, and Elvie wants to find out. Japan at the end of the Tokugawa period was like a hundred-footed insect, with the door opening close at hand.
The undecided Alvy, the surging Alvy, blindfolded himself in the bathtub and enjoyed the girl's silky rubbing, and handed a note to his palm, which became an unforgettable pain in his life. Afterwards, Alvey returned to France, where he was waiting for Helene, who loved him dearly. Hailin was still virtuous, gentle, peaceful and quiet, but her husband's soul had already been beaten to pieces by the note. Under the control of a nihilistic but strong lust, he went to Japan again, without any hesitation, leaving behind Down with his wife who treats him like everything.
Love is often so illogical, you could have stayed by her side and lived the idyllic life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" together, prosperous and happy. She loves you, loves you very much, and loves your heart but is exiled to the sky by you. She smelled a hint of betrayal, and she was helpless, unable to even capture your mood, and she didn't know why you tossed and turned, so she could only live with anxiety. In my opinion, the furthest distance in the world is not that you stand in front of me and do not know that I love you, but that you love someone who does not belong to you. This is probably the saddest thing in the world.
In Japan during the Fall of the Curtain Movement, the situation was chaotic. Elvey did not find the figure of the mysterious woman, but accidentally killed the innocent child, just as the original Jubei said with a gun to Elvey's head: "Japan is an ancient country, it has ancient laws••••••", this woman seems to symbolize the mystery and antiquity of oriental culture, so ancient that Alvey can't guess and let go.
Alvey, who has returned to China again, is still unhappy and difficult to calm down. The theme of "Waiting for Dogo" is just right to describe his mood: life itself is waiting, and the person waiting will never appear. Time passed in silent waiting, until the appearance of the Japanese letter broke the peace of life. This letter is mixed with a kind of contradictory love and refusal.
“My dear master, don't be afraid, don't move, don't speak, no one will see us. stay as u are, I want to look at u. We have the night to ourselves, and I want to look at u. Your body over me, your skin, your lips. Close your eyes, no one will see us. And I'm here at your side, do u feel me? When I touch u for the first time, it will be with my lips. U will feel the warmth, but u won't know where. Perhaps, it will be on your eyes. I will press my mouth to your eyes and u will feel the warmth. Open your eyes now, my beloved . Look at me, your eyes on my breast, your arms lifting me. Letting me slide on to u. My faint cry, your body quivering. There is no end to it, don't u see? You will forever be throwing your head back. I will forever be shaking off my tears. This moment had to be. This moment will continue from now until forever.We shall not see one another again. What we were meant to do, we have done. Believe me, my love, we have done it forever. Preserve your life out of my reach., and if it serves your happiness, don't hesitate for a moment to forget this woman. Who now says: without a trace of regret, farewell.”
This letter made him even more unable to lighten this emotion, but this time, he did not choose to set off again. Because Hailin fell ill, it was his infidelity that made her emaciated and shed tears. He planned to confess to Hailin, but Hailin stopped him and said with a faint smile: Are we old? Elvie burst into tears and regretted it.
Some things happen and never come back, some hearts are broken and can't be stitched up again, some people go and never go back. With endless pain, Helen withered along with the lilies and dispersed, leaving only Elvie sitting in the garden that had lost its luster, mourning and crying every day.
The climax of the film takes place in the last five minutes. The violet in front of Helene's tomb arouses Elvie's suspicion, so he finds Mrs. Blanche and knows the truth: the letter was written by Helene, in the name of another woman. In her heart, she already knew that nothing could go back to the past, no matter how much she loved him, he couldn't change his mind, no matter how much she had done for him, he had become accustomed to it, and couldn't find it touched at all, why did he always think to leave yourself? I have done what I have to do.
Maybe, people are like this. They experience different scenery in their life journeys. Some people look comfortable, but they don't want to stay. They are always confused by the strange beauty behind, so they choose to abandon them. How could he or she know that the best is here? Side, just used to so ignore it. The younger we are, the easier our direction is to be tempted by instant prosperity and desire, the more easily our persistence is blinded by the pleasure of our senses, and the more easily our loyalty is shattered by instinctive possessiveness. The person who loves you the most just guards you by your side, but is let down by you. A kind of empty emotion makes you frantic, struggling, restless, and crazy, just like cocaine smokes your brain, drains your life, and takes away your Sincerely, what you are left with is endless regret.
Therefore, everyone should avoid going to bars! O(∩_∩)O haha~
