If it wasn't for Hou Hsiao-hsien, if it wasn't for Juliet Binoche, I think it would be hard for me to keep watching. Not to mention that the ending was adapted from Cai Qin's piece.
The picture is still very beautiful, although I don't know the specific meaning of the red balloon. Especially Binoche's performance - the woman is old, especially in the film where she plays a mother who is anxious and busy and does not care about her image. Thinking of Tereza in "Love in Prague", and the wife in "Blue", it's really hard to imagine a person, if it weren't for her bright smile and playful teeth.
I wanted to download "Red Balloon", but I couldn't find it. . .
Also, why use Cai Qin's "Forgotten Time"? Lots of subtext. But Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Qin seem to have partnered in a movie, right? It was also at that time that Cai Qin met Yang Dechang, whom she loved and suffered all her life. Ugh. . . Both the film and the singing need to be carefully savored. A woman loves a person all her life, a phantom who has never given her real caress, and does not recognize her 10-year relationship, and this phantom eventually fell in love with another woman. , gave birth to a child, died of illness... what kind of pain is this? Can't feel it.
