The rough movie shots and lines of "Suzhou River", as well as the embarrassment that the photographer never appeared in the film, avoids the complexity of characters, but also uses a kind of fiction, a kind of deduction, to ask whether there is an absolute love Existence, and one person will not pursue another person to the death.
I thought it was just a simple love movie. But then I discovered that the original intention of pursuing love to death can permeate every corner of our lives. For example, family and friendship, and even towards your enemies, should also create a positive attitude. Many times, some waiting, some paying, and some waiting, are not necessarily related to love. We live in this colorful world to seek the happiness we want. It comes from the love you have for life, and it also includes the gift of life to you. Maybe you can't see or touch, but happiness depends on feeling. When you close your eyes, you feel happy, then what you see when you open your eyes is what you see. Peony does not recall the past at the end of the film, but I can appreciate the sweetness that comes after all the hardships.
In fact, I understand more about this movie as a run about love and life. Ma Ma is looking for his lost love while running, Peony is waiting for Ma Ma’s return while running, and Mei Mei is running in the city’s wounds to seek a kind of spirit The photographer fled from the beginning to the end in the world of his own imagination, and finally calmed down and waited for the next love to come. Those who come and go in the film all live by the Suzhou River with strange stories. As the screenwriter himself described, there are all the nostalgia in the Suzhou River, as well as the happiness derived from many years ago. and pain. We are experiencing a pure loss, and don't give up the right to wait for the return of nature.
Finally, I want to make a comparison. Among the love movies with the theme of waiting and searching, the ones that impressed me the most are "Letter from a Strange Woman" and "If Love". Compared with the two films, the biggest difference between "Suzhou River" is that the former does not have the magnification and rendering of the inner feelings, and the latter does not have the exquisiteness of the lens, picture and color. All I can say is that Xu Jinglei is very sincere, and Chen Kexin is very attentive. Lou Ye, in the camera, in the dialogue, on the rushing Suzhou River, he just didn't lie.
