"Orlando" is about a bisexual person who lived more than 400 years in British history. The director described its lengthy life from seven aspects, including politics, social interaction, and sex, so the movie also seemed a bit lengthy. At the end of the movie, Orlando, who lived to the present day, shed tears in the wheat field where she was playing with children. The dialogue of the movie is that she is no longer shackled by gender.
I think even Orlando, who is not bound by gender, is lonely. Endless life is lonely, the loneliest living. I think of the general in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". In the peaceful age, he had a mutilated body and an empty soul that was more terrifying than mutilation. Of course, the ending of Hollywood gave him a splendid life ending, but the film The general's lonely look is the most real. Life with no end in sight, like the caveman in Borges' "Eternal Life", wanders this barren world.
Regarding loneliness and loneliness, I often think of Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest", which is a symptom manual of loneliness and loneliness for urban modern people, the Jin Chengwu who rode a pig at midnight, Tony Leung who was chatting with soap, and Faye Wong, who was unhappy in his secret love. ....people are at a loss in the face of the giant wheel of this era.
Fortunately, for ordinary people, the giant wheel is only a century at most, but Orlando's will be shackled in these endless years, so that tear is talking about the loneliness of living?
