I watched the 1993 Oscar-winning film "Indochina" a few days ago. The relationship between colonization and struggle between Vietnam and France has often become the focus of people's interpretation of this film review. I am not sure about the history of this aspect. I don’t want to make any comments if I know too well. The attitude of the mother and daughter towards love in this movie has left a deep impression on me. In my opinion, mother and daughter represent the most typical attitude of mature women and young girls towards love. The adoptive mother, Ariana, was born in the upper class and was the manager of a rubber plantation. She was independent, tenacious and intelligent. In the film, her lover Zhan once angrily commented that she was "a woman as ruthless as rubber", and the seemingly ruthless rubber does not need too many words for its value. This contradiction is just like Ariana herself. Underneath the ruthless appearance, there is actually plenty of emotion. Ariana monologue: She had a careless love that left no trace. This proves that the "pass the loneliness" emotional game will not have any impact on her life. She is also well aware of the magistrate's tricks to attract women, create a mysterious atmosphere, and serve luxurious wines, and even when the magistrate tells her that the national movement is raging and tense, and that she needs protection, Ariana is unmoved. . Love is love, and the love Ariana needs is a real collision of passion without any other factors. When the protagonist Zhan showed off with Ariana for the first time, she refused very rationally, and Ariana also said to Zhan in public, "I can't be as frank as you, I won't be in front of everyone. Show your emotions, and the more moved I get, the more I can’t express them.” Her emotions were forbearance and restraint. This kind of forbearance and restraint is also a product of reason to a certain extent. She is very clear about what love is and what it is not. However, once she is sure that love is really coming, the way she gets along with her lover Zhan has undergone tremendous changes— - Her feelings for Zhan are hot, fierce and sincere. She chose the villa in Saigon as the habitat of their love. This is Ariana's safe haven away from the world, and she has never brought other men here. This is also Ariana An important reason why his father is afraid of Zhan. Secondly, this relationship caused Ariana to change to a certain extent, she even showed her weakness to Zhan in public, she appealed to Zhan "I'm looking for you everywhere...talk to me...protect me... ...you are part of me", Zhan responded, "This pleading woman is not you." Zhan's refusal also quickly pulled Ariana, who was lost in her emotions, back to a state of sanity, and she left decisively. Jen. When emotions encounter obstacles, Ariana once lost herself, and Ariana who lost herself is not what Zhan fell in love with However, Zhan made it clear that "I want to pursue the whole world". In Ariana's world, no matter how sincere love is, it is only a part of many aspects of life. Ariana has assumed more and greater responsibilities in life. Even if she has given all her love to Zhan, in Zhan's view, it is only "a small corner of the grave". What's more sad is that this "small corner of the grave" can also be sacrificed, which can also be seen when Ariana defends her adopted daughter and asks Zhan to be with her, so this behavior caused Zhan's fierce dissatisfaction. , he angrily accused Ariana's behavior of emotional oppression against Camille, and said that this kind of oppression was the same as Ariana's oppression by her own father, and the "oppression" that Zhan accused was actually Allie A responsibility that Yana can't let go of, and because of this responsibility, Ariana can't give Zhan the pure love he longs for, the love that "seeks the world". Jen loves the real Ariana, and yet the real Ariana has not only intense emotions, but also awe-inspiring sanity, and such Ariana cannot give Jen all the emotion he desires. Since emotions are restrained by reason, they are no longer as pure and natural as when they fell in love, and the end of love is inevitable. This is the contradiction in Zhan and Ariana's love, and it finally decides that the two can't. Come together. After lingering in the car, even though she was very sad, Ariana did not make a second attempt to save her, and her daily life quickly returned to its original state. When love comes, emotions pour down like a flood; when love leaves, you can restrain your emotions to the greatest extent possible, accept this cruel fact, and at the same time still maintain your attitude of independence, forbearance, perseverance and determination, and at the same time He kept his truest image, the one that Zhan loved deeply. And this image is destined to never have any intersection with Zhan again. The adopted daughter Camille’s emotions are the same as those of her adoptive mother Ariana. They are sincere and intense; when they encounter obstacles, unlike Ariana’s reaction, Camille is not burdened by worldly rules and responsibilities, but is more thorough. She released her fiery, intense and sincere love, and this release instead pushed her to live out a more authentic version of herself, which was different from Ariana's loss of herself after she released her emotions. Even if the royal family held her own wedding, the girl still decided to find the love in her heart. This dedication to first love perfectly reflects the reckless and childish young girl's first love and the ignorance of pursuing love when she first fell in love. all courage. The young girl Camille embarked on a dangerous journey alone, tactfully avoided possible tracking, and chased all the way to the border of Vietnam to find her lover. Jen's first love, Ariana, has difficulty regulating her intellectual and emotional conflicts, because And draw a line in front of his lover Zhan and himself; the full emotional release of Zhan's second lover Camille allows Zhan to get the emotion he desires, the emotion of "I want to pursue the whole world". For Zhan's sake, Camille gave up a superior life without hesitation, abandoned her identity as a princess, overcame various obstacles on the way, and came to Zhan's side. This brought the first touch to Zhan. Fearless of the disapproving gaze of his comrades-in-arms, Zhan embraced and kissed Camille in the crowd. Away from the upper class and the French life background, the Vietnamese princess Camille also sees the true face of her homeland - the suffering of the people, the oppression of the colonists, and the revolution at the touch of a button. These scenes completely touched Camille's growth when she saw her partner, civilian Su being executed by the colonists - Camille did not hesitate to speak up for the oppressed compatriots and shot dead without fear Colonial Officer. This also brings a second touch to Zhan. So Zhan resolutely sided with Camille and took her to the end of the world. Camille, who had successfully escaped, said to Zhan calmly, "If you surrender now, they will forgive you. It's not your fault. I can understand when I get up tomorrow without seeing you." Ariana's reason made her unable to Don't give up Zhan and his love for him in the choice; and Camille's rational abandonment of Zhan is a deeper love for him. Camille is not burdened by worldly responsibilities and rules, and works hard for his ideal love, so Zhan gets the emotion of "pursuing the whole world" in his dream. Camille also became a freer and more authentic version of himself, which is why the two were able to come together in the end. Camille, whom Zhan loves, has never given up on being her most authentic self since then. She cut off all connections with her past life and strived to pursue her own freedom and the freedom of Vietnam. In order to practice his ideals, he even gave up custody of his children. This is also a manifestation of Camille's courage to let go and give up part of his responsibilities in pursuit of a free self, a free Vietnam. Another notable character in the film is Camille's legal husband in the context of Indochinese society, childhood sweetheart Di. After Di learned of Camille's love for Jen, he sacrificed his marriage to cover for Camille and supported Camille to find love. He did this to tell everyone that "she (Camille) is free". Although Camille's lover is an enemy of Vietnam and a citizen of France, it does not affect Di's support for Camille's pursuit. Freedom is freedom, and the freedom at this moment is pure. Life.
