Life does not meet, moving like a businessman

In Du Fu's "Eight Guards to the Guards", he wrote that he met and parted with his friend who had been there for many years. Tomorrow, across the mountains, the world will be at a distance. This mountain may just be a courtyard, a wall. When they are separated, they really start to be charming, and who will talk to each other again.

I have heard many similar versions of this story. There is a column on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to find relatives. I have seen one episode. Brothers and sisters are in Taipei, only a block away, but they have not seen each other for half a century. Through this show, the two found each other, and regretted that they went to the same vegetable market, went to the same store, and watched the same movie. However, the two places are separated, and the horizon is boundless.

Due to a wrong decision, the two were forced to separate. My sister lives only to give this story a happy ending. But in fact, for most of us, misses are the norm, and encounters are rare. I once had to pass by a boy downstairs for work every day after breaking up with a boy. I had imagined what would happen to me if I met him countless times, but I never met him once, not once. It is really a great fate to meet in such a big city.

The younger sister, like Eva Green, has a fragile beauty. You look at her, her beauty is indescribable, but you deeply know that this kind of beauty can be destroyed at any time. It's a bit like Penelope Cruz in "Return", shattered by life but living with tenacity and firmness. She was not destroyed, she was always beautiful when she appeared on camera. We did not see her aged appearance. She told her granddaughter how her sister looked like a pianist.

When it comes to the story of the two girls, the first thing that comes to my mind is Sense and Sensibility, as if every duo is a story like that. It's just that Austin didn't want to let the protagonist in his story derail, so he arranged for the knight to turn the tide and drag the character back. This story is the derailed "Sense and Sensibility". After learning of her sister's death, the elder sister burned the piano, said the most tragic farewell to her innocent golden dream, and then disappeared. The impulsive decision of the younger sister made her life start a hard mode, but it was also "Biejun was unmarried in the past, and his children suddenly went on a trip". I don't want to talk about feminism, I just want to say that this is the separation of two people who are in love. A farewell is a lifetime.

Also impressive is the music. And color. There is always a feeling of Chinese scenery in the landscape, I don't know if it is intentional or just an illusion. The color saturation of the color blocks is very high, the strong blue, green, red and yellow, the contrast between the sea and the rocks, the color of the walls of my sister's house, the green plants with large leaves, the skirt that my sister wears when she goes out to drink the next day...

A golden earring on the back door and the flaming flames in the corridor in front of the door shaded the woman in a white nightgown like a hero who suffered and was reborn. The younger sister saw the father who was waiting on the opposite seat through the goldfish bowl, while the older sister who was waiting was straightening her hair in the bathroom in front of the mirror. Movies couldn't be more appropriate to express such a scene. Such dramatic effects cannot be rendered in words.

I like this movie. In the middle of the night, I saw my sister found the letter, unfolded it, and I burst into tears.

    The compliments are beyond words, probably my favorite melodrama this year.

    8/10. The two protagonists are vividly portrayed. From the first time Euridice played the piano, I started to cry (Is there something wrong with my lacrimal glands in the past two days), and then I really burst into tears... The whole article is full of silent complaints about the oppression of women's status ( From the big bitch theory, the denial of the six relatives, to the imperceptible verbal violence), there is no shortage of powerful and conscious women who liberate their souls and freedom (although they are oppressed one by one, imprisoned by their mothers, wives, and daughters) ). "Invisible" is not only for Guida, who thinks that he is far away to pursue his music dream, but he is forced to marry his husband and teach children in his hometown, or to E who thinks that his love is gone, but he is deceived by a man and returns to his hometown. Abandoned by her father, her mother has no status and courage to defend her, she is on the street, and she is romantic but has to make a living by her own labor... This "invisibility" refers to the group portraits of women in that era, which were invisible and silenced. The slap E gave his father at the end, his resistance to patriarchy, was cool. I don't like the ending. Filmed in Berlin. 05/10/2019
