I have never dared to attribute "Cold Mountain" to a Western film. On the one hand, it has the value orientation of American Western films, which are self-made and happy, and on the other hand, because the hero and heroine are too reserved and silent, there is a British style film. Implicit style, and even most of its plots are more inclined to road films: the hero Inman encountered all kinds of men, women, old and young, blacks, whites, Confederate Army and Northern Army during his escape from the battlefield of the Civil War, the war-destroyed homes along the way, and the distorted humanity , A war has turned up the scum and evil at the bottom of the society. Countless villains like Dige used the war to run amuck in the fish and meat town. The plot of his torturing the kind-hearted villagers definitely makes people think of picking up a rifle and nailing a row of bullets to his head. , and the sad thing is that not every Dige can die so happily, that's a story later.
The pastor's daughter, Ada, is a pampered standard lady in the south, while the country boy Inman is just a melancholy and taciturn handsome boy. It is obvious that they have good feelings for each other because they both love etiquette and self-esteem. The arrival of the war has catalyzed their love. Manwei hurried to the front line before he could talk to Ada, and the hurried kiss before leaving became the warmth that has been repeatedly recalled in the four years of parting.
No one knows how long the war will last, and no one can guarantee that the budding love will remain steadfast in the war and the passage of time. Ada's initial expectations gradually lost her confidence after her father died and the family was unable to make a living. Missing and poverty will probably kill this rich lady. When she sees the bright and beautiful she put on a dirty dress and hides in a ruined hut, she doesn't feel sad when she is helped by a kind-hearted wife next door with a basket of food. possible.
Inman's situation is not much better. The stigma of war deserters is always a hindrance. In addition to evading capture by the Southern Army, he has to resist the sweeping of the Northern Army. He has to endure the torment of fear of the road in his heart all the time: Ai Her predicament can be seen in the few letters that I can receive, how a lady who is not diligent in work and can not distinguish between grains can still wait for his return in a chaotic world instead of being forced to marry another person, and she has seen similar people all the way. Tragedy, Inman may not have considered such a possibility. Ada in his hometown is his connection to his past life and his longing for future life. If the cruelty of the war gave birth to their love, it would also strengthen their love. The reality is too bleak, only the sweetheart in the dream is pure, beautiful and spotless.
Better than Inman, Ada and Ruby, Ruby is just an angel, strong and brave like a native Indian girl, just suitable to rescue the charming young lady Ada, who is sitting on the verge of death, both mentally and physically, from turning over the haystack. From cultivating sheep pens to growing vegetables and milking cows, the piano was sold, and the silverware was sold, and the only joy was: Ada adapted to this troubled world and survived so vigorously that the two met again. Couldn't recognize each other at first glance. One is a ragged, thin and shriveled bearded uncle, and the other is a unkempt country woman with a shotgun in hand. They are no longer what they remembered. The piano beauty and the green vitality are all yesterday, but fortunately they can still see it in their eyes. Clearly reflect each other.
Inman completed his journey home, completed his self-redemption, and shot the despicable villain Dig and his accomplices to rescue his lover Ada, which is the greatest meaning of his return home. The war has destroyed the familiar home and life, and took away the beloved lover, but the love will never end, and life will continue. As long as you are strong enough and patient enough, I will still wait to meet you across the Jordan River in a hundred years.
