Blue, white and red: freedom, equality, fraternity. It is bold and risky to describe the emergence or realization of important values in modern society through love and marriage and their absence and reconstruction. The trilogy is very different in style. "Blue" is oppressive, appealing to the auditory, and looks the most obscure; "White" is absurd, appealing to the touch, and looks the most concise; and "Red" is deep, appealing to the visual, and looks the warmest. There is no equality without liberty, and fraternity after equality. Freedom always falls into a paradox (rebirth in the film is to transcend the past by continuing the past), equality is based on the balance of power (the metaphor of language and sex in the film), and only fraternity brings salvation, although the kindness and simplicity of human nature are unavoidable With sadness and helplessness (the female protagonist's side face and red life jacket background are frozen in the film).
The truth happens all the time around us, we don't necessarily know it, and we can't show our compassion. Sad things happen again and again. But there is a peculiar connection between people. When we meet each other, get in touch step by step, get to know each other and understand each other, those initial misunderstandings are gradually eliminated, and we give each other care and strength, which is warm fraternity. The brilliance of human nature illuminates the most trivial, ugly and painful corners of life step by step. The blue, white and red protagonists all survived the shipwreck. This is the passion and words that the director finally no longer suppressed: just like the man in the trilogy. The old lady who appeared by the trash can finally got the care and help of a stranger. If freedom, equality and fraternity remain at the conceptual level, they must be empty or even boring. If real life is only in a state of chaos and unconsciousness, they must not get meaning. Only life like sea water does not require us to deliberately separate the components of salt, because life is already the realization of the idea, the idea itself. The director's understanding of freedom, equality and fraternity is full of strong personal characteristics, and it is natural to have different opinions on this. Although clear definitions and calm reflection help people to clearly grasp the possibility or limit, the value of human nature can never come by itself through debate, because they are the choices, persistence and redemption.
