Lust and Caution---How can a drop of water not dry up

"Lust and Caution" is simple, soothing, and the display of the picture is natural and deep.
"How can a drop of water not dry up?" The
desolate singing echoed in the blue sky, leisurely and long.
Dashi Lama spent three years in retreat in the mountain house, but when the door suddenly opened and the house was filled with the light and breath of the world, from that moment, perhaps the beautiful yearning for the world in Dashi's heart has been quietly growing.
Dashi's appearance may be due to his long years of practice, his eyebrows and eyes are exceptionally clear, and as long as he smiles gently, it seems to touch the softest bottom of your heart, like spring water, purifying a gray heart in our world.
When he began to be full of desire for love, the sound of the clanging bracelet, as if the lively life in the world, grabbed his heart.
Dashi is full of yearning for natural lust, which should have been a great commandment for monks, but the old lamas in the monastery did not regard him as a dissident, nor even a word of blame, nor did they suppress his lust, but gave more The care and respect, just to find a way to ease. Here, the film shows more human care, warmth and beauty. When he asked the old lama, "Sakyamuni's insight may have come from his earthly life
, and he himself began to practice abstinence from the age of five. Who can give him the freedom he yearns for?"
The first real questioning, here in Dashtam and brave.
He left the monastery, married Pima, had a child, had the courage to expose the injustice, and sold the whole village's millet to the town for the first time. Dashi's life was rich and somewhat turbulent. In the film, the other side of Dash's humanity developed: integrity and bravery are vividly expressed here.
But when Dash asked about life again, he wanted to choose to go back to the monastery again.
Pima caught up and asked a series of questions.
The film here gives women an independent voice.
It is true that women, like men, will doubt themselves and want to leave, but women do not do this, they are more tenacious, and resolutely take on the heavy responsibility of the family after the man leaves.
Each of us, whether men or women, must return after leaving. We seek the growth and freedom of human nature, and at the same time, we must build a family and transform society with love, responsibility and trust. Only when we are in it can we develop our humanity and build a better society.
When Dash saw the stone of "How can a drop of water not dry up?", he saw the engraving on the back: "Let it flow into the sea", the long singing sounded again, and the film ended.
The return of a drop of water may be a metaphor for the return of our natural form of life, or our return to family and society. Maybe there is no symbol or metaphor, but everything is just like this.
