I watched Kieslowski's movie at 1211, Block B, Jiedaokou on Saturday night, 2012-10-13. I have also read several movie reviews before, especially Liu Xiaofeng's "Heavy Flesh is an in-depth interpretation of the director's series of films, exploring the existential tension of each character.
This time, I did find a lot of things that have not been mentioned in previous film reviews.
First of all, this movie also seems to have two mirror-like people in the movie "Viorica", who have their own stories in the same time and space. However, the two heroines in the movie "Viorica" are almost the age of twin sisters. One is in Paris and the other is in an ancient city in Poland.
However, in this "Red", the old eavesdropping judge lives in the same time and space as a judge who has just graduated from law school. They have never had direct contact, but they have similar life experiences: such as youth The judge has a black poodle, and the old judge has a brown wolfdog; the young judge drives a red jeep, and the old judge drives a black Mercedes-Benz; most importantly, they all graduated from law school and once had lovers who loved them deeply. The lover cheated with another man, which caused him great harm.
The heroine accidentally bruised a brown dog named Laika. She carefully checked the dog's collar and found the owner's house according to the map. The owner, the elderly judge, is indifferent to the dog, leaving the heroine to handle it herself.
The old judge: "I don't need it anymore." The
heroine: "Don't you even need to breathe?" The
old judge: "Well, this is a good idea."
[Perhaps, in the heroine's view, life itself is Associated with "care", "love or die" is her life creed. But the old judge is not willing to fall into the heartache caused by betrayal because of his deep love.
Gibran said: "But if you only seek the peace and joy of love in your fears, then you better cover up your true self, avoid the trials of love, and enter a world without seasons. There you will laugh , but not laughing; you will cry, but not with all your heart." The old judge, however, completely abandoned the state of sorrow and joy. He can hide in his old house, eavesdrop on the phones of nearby residents, and spy on their unbearable privacy. As if to overstep the role of the Almighty, everything is under his own observation and control, everything is the passion and story of others, and he is far away. You cannot hurt me. 】
However, the heroine, because she kindly took care of the injured dog, did not intend to break into the old judge's life, which did bring him a great change. His dog was pregnant before, and he didn't realize it. The world outside is full of spring, but he himself is so dead. When the heroine came to visit, the old judge originally showed his eavesdropping results-a neighbor called his lover behind his back. The heroine was very angry and rushed out of the old judge's house to report it, but when the heroine saw that the members of the family were still in the dark and peaceful, she gave up herself. Why should she break this situation and expose the family to them? The truth of betrayal also brings piercing pain?
The heroine returned to the old judge's house in despair, but the old judge ruthlessly warned that accepting the truth is painful, but it is better to suffer later than to suffer earlier.
In fact, the heroine also has her own knot.
She gives the outside world the impression that she is a beautiful and elegant fashion model. She is always smiling, and the photographer especially appreciates her. But the best photos of her were those of her sad expression against the backdrop of a huge red curtain.
She has a younger brother, but she is not born to her father. The younger brother found out about the secret when he was 16 years old and fell out with his mother. He took drugs outside and made troubles, and even recently made the headlines of the newspapers.
She works outside all year round and spends little time with her mother. Her brother doesn't like her mother. She begged her repeatedly, and her brother agreed to spend one day with her mother.
She has a boyfriend who often travels all over the world, and the two of them stay together less often. Every time her boyfriend calls, he is either indifferent and doesn't care about her loneliness. Either she has no reason to suspect that she has other men. She felt aggrieved.
But looking after the dog and helping the old judge untie her knot has also brought something meaningful to her life.
The heroine once saw a newspaper report that "the retired judge is suspected of wiretapping", so when she came to visit the old judge, the dog named Laika had already given birth to seven cubs. The old judge also became very warm, petting the puppy kindly.
The old judge told him that he had surrendered. I forgot the motive. The motive for the decision to turn himself in came after the heroine had an argument with him, and his usual ink pen was no longer watery, so he used pencil to write letters to neighbors and the police. The old judge also wanted to know how the heroine would react to the reports of the incident.
While the old judge was telling these things, a stone suddenly whizzed past and smashed a window, the old judge said with emotion: "This is the sixth window that was smashed after I surrendered, and I have not eavesdropped on it now. I'm done." However, he patiently collected the smashed windows and placed them on the piano. The old judge
said to the heroine: "I haven't dreamed of happy things for a long time, but yesterday I dreamed of you, who are in your 40s and 50s, smiling beautifully at someone close to you."
In a dream, make up for your own life. 】
Before the heroine was going to take the ferry back to England, she sent an invitation letter to invite the old judge to watch her fashion show. This was the last conversation. After the show, the old judge said that when he was young, he often came here to watch performances. Before a certain exam, I was watching a performance on the second floor with a stack of books, but I accidentally dropped the book on the first floor and hurried down to pick it up. A page of the book is spread out, impressive. Later, the exam really took the question on this page.
The heroine teased: "It seems that it is better for you to go out more often."
[The old judge has given up on eavesdropping and turned himself in. No longer hiding from a safe distance, and even starting to suffer some retribution for his previous illegal actions, but his life also began to take a glorious turn. 】
"Red" is actually a shipwreck at the end. When the heroine's ferry sets sail, the drawbridge leading to the ferry hangs high, leaving only a gap to see the ship entering the English Channel. --The footage at this time seems to have an ominous meaning---Life is hanging by a thread? After more than a thousand passengers, only seven survived.
When the news was broadcast on TV, the old judge in front of the TV was very concerned about who the survivors were. On the TV, the young judge and the heroine were captured by the reporters who were finally rushed to the scene. The heroine was facing the camera from the side with a frightened expression, and there was a red curtain behind it. It is exactly the same as the previous picture of her huge poster. At that time, it may have been "I don't know the taste of sorrow", but at this moment, I was reborn after the catastrophe. The young judge and the heroine looked at each other affectionately, perhaps because they happened to survive the disaster at the same time. Perhaps it was also because the young judge had been driving on the road before and had inadvertently seen the huge poster of the heroine.
The young judge looked at the heroine opposite affectionately, while the old judge looked at them both affectionately in front of the TV.
