After listening to her mother's explanation of Kazama's life experience, Ah Hai was still a little unbelievable, so she asked her mother, "What if Kazama is really my father's child?" The mother was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: " If he is Ah Xiong's son, I would like to see him. Does he look like this?" At that moment, Ah Hai realized that his mother's deep thoughts for his father had already surpassed the worldly concepts. Only then did I realize that once love takes root in the heart, the happiness it brings, no matter how sad it is, it melts into the soul and becomes an inseparable part of life. Just like her confession to Fengjian in the dim headlights, even though she knew that the love between the two was hopeless, she still seemed to accept her fate, and said with a blushing smile: "I will always like you."
There is a classic saying It is said that tragedy is to build something beautiful and then destroy it for you to see. Then, the opposite of tragedy is not comedy, but when you sigh in front of the ruins of tragedy, you see new shoots emerge from the ground. The opposite of tragedy, we call it hope. This is the structure of the film.
The character of the protagonist, A Hai, is the aggregate of hope in this movie. The tragic elements in the story are all related to her, the death of a close relative, the demolition of the teaching building, and the love tricked by "blood". But after watching the movie, what the audience remembered more was undoubtedly the enthusiasm of the students to renovate the Latin Building, the honest confession when they parted from the station, and the signal flag raised against the sea day after day.
If the representative of Ah Hai is hope on a personal level, then the other characters in the film interpret hope in the changing times. Thinking about it carefully, the younger generation in the film are all entrusted with the caring and loving care and love of the previous generation: from the youngest grandmother who gave her breakfast to the children, to the grandfather of Ahhai who adopted the dead comrades without hesitation. child. The younger generation also used their own efforts and enthusiasm to impress the prejudice and decision of the older generation, just as the students worked together to renovate the Latin Building. The so-called "new" and "old" inheritance should probably be like this.
The last two scenes in the film are the chairman's visit to the teaching building, and A Hai and Kazama going to see his father's old comrade-in-arms. Amid the chants of the students, the chairman agreed to the retention of the teaching building, a past that was seen as stale gained new life. Under the sunset at sea, the old captain took Ah Hai and Feng Jian's hand and cried, and the past that was buried in pain and longing was finally redeemed.
Such a story will certainly not be a portrayal of reality, but it is a call higher than reality. Those small emotions that may happen in reality and are forgotten at the same time, like tiny pearls buried in the sand, are all excavated by this gentle story, like the blue sea in the film, shining in the sun.
Thank you for this film, for giving us a good dream filled with love.
