Freedom and Soul Taboos and Choices

A very interesting film full of stars to three actors I love very much, a piece of history I am most curious about, and the theme of liberation and freedom.

"In the boundless ocean, there are free souls everywhere"

The interesting name of Ma Jianling, this interesting person, sword and Ling, rigid and soft, freedom and bondage, he represented the city of that era, just as the little tailor represented the countryside of that era.

My Kun's role in this drama is not so prominent. He is equivalent to a break-in point, a transition, and a structural succession.

As for the plot of the story, it is the stereotype "he loves her she loves him but he loves him". Putting aside pure love, it is brought in from the perspective of the times. It is a symbol of wandering and entanglement, and it is not conventional.

About "He Loves Him"

"I don't know what I am for"

I know you are for him. As Ma Jianling said at the end, "Maybe I love her, but we love her in different ways", plus the hint of the story that the emperor of the Han Dynasty didn't love beauties and young people at the beginning, it made people's hearts aching.

About taboos, about choices.

    Four stars; the director's different feelings of educated youth, first of all, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, such a combination is very attractive, the pure three played the story of the educated youth close to pure love back then, it was immature but the most suitable. In such a taboo age, choosing to use knowledge to change oneself, and having an affair with literature is a special angle for the director to recall that period of time, but the ending is quite suspicious, which weakens the film itself.

    "Mozart will always miss Chairman Mao" XD, but the erhu version of Mozar in the soundtrack has a special flavor, ah, especially the tooth extraction part is so lovely! Touching the head~XD The old tailor is the cutest: "Wang Erling" (violin). Five stars reason: clock, throughout. In both of Dai's films, you can see traces of his life, and the memories are very moving.
