The existence of the tarot card hints at the fate of the red violin. Initially, he will have a full and long life. The circulation of three hundred years is like a person's drifting life.
In childhood, human's emotional sustenance is always inseparable and based on certain things. The prodigy Wei Kasi is introverted and withdrawn. He regards the red violin as his everything, and even sleeps together. To achieve mutual communication, the red violin is what Weikasi has. So the teacher would say that I now know what you are controlled by, you are controlled by your violin. When Vikasi played in front of the Count, who offered to buy a red violin, his heart stopped beating. Because that would deprive him of his attachment to the red violin. At this time, the tarot card is a hanging card, symbolizing disease and weakness.
Cards show lust and energy, just like a person's youth, youthful vitality. The red violin falls into the hands of a talented British virtuoso who is inspired by a fiery love affair with a female writer, who improvises the sounds of nature while enjoying the erotic madness. Until the female writer left, his source gradually dried up, and he began to intercept inspiration from each other's letters, but later the inspiration has been diluted. Began to degenerate and smoke opium, and it is not until the appearance of another woman that the creation is restored.
The middle-aged period is the age of no confusion. He is well versed in the world but also mature, facing the dilemma of the times and society. The cards also herald an impending trial in front of the local dealer. The words of loyalty of the Cultural Revolution were sung and danced, and the Red Guards, wearing the hat of civilization, savagely resisted all Western music and capitalist culture. Facing the hardships in the big environment, people's political bottom line gives way to the cultural bottom line, the red violin is handed over to a talented person with musical beliefs to survive, and the people of strange music make a choice between survival and red violin. Personal emotions have a strong conflict with the emotions of the times, and under the calm repression, they are more helpless.
Returning to the modern age in old age, the card symbolizes a peaceful home. The auction buyer who clearly marked the price and the appraiser who really understands his meaning are the two choices for the red violin. In the end, the appraiser took the risk and turned the fake into the real one. The collector bought a replica. Maybe he is qualified enough to own the real one. For the red violin, all he wants to satisfy is his desire to own a precious instrument. What the appraiser knows is that the red violin contains the story of life experience.
Regarding the narrative, the director designed three clues. First, women are about to give birth to divination the future, representing the past; second, the auction represents the present; . Three Hundred Years of Life Director intercepts representative cross-sections, each of which has independent significance. In the process of telling the story, the procrastination and tediousness of the story rhythm are eliminated, and the overlapping is used to reflect the alternation of red violins.
After three hundred years, at the end of the film, it returns to the original scene where Binigao colorized the violin, and the violin integrated with love and soul transforms into an adult, truly realizing a kind of transcendence and eternity.
When the director restores history, some details are not deep enough. For example, the Chinese Cultural Revolution. As a Cultural Revolution cadre, Zhang Aijia cautiously prepared to send the red violin out, but how could he play another piece in front of the still present? And the five stories keep adding scenes and characters, interrupting the narrative process of the previous story.
In the end, the appraiser exchanged the red violin, and he chose to give the red violin to his daughter. Since then, the red violin has had a peaceful life, condensed that the love and experience of countless people will continue from her daughter. This kind of ending seems to be in line with Binngo's desire to give it to children. This seems to be a common feature of human nature. He always wants to leave the best things to his children. The director's award ending kicks back to the beginning of the film, It's a peaceful cycle.
