Calling it a love movie would be a bit unfair. There are two common Chinese translations of this title on the Internet, "Love of Siam" and "Love in Siam", I personally think the latter translation is more reliable. It is difficult to describe the pure love that was born between two teenagers as love. The affection between family members in the film also occupies a large part of the film. The movie posters are colorful, and the teenage leading actors are all smiling and bright, and at first glance they thought it was an ordinary youth school drama. In addition, it is a Thai film known for its horror and pornography that I have never caught a cold. If it wasn't for Eggplant's strong recommendation, I wouldn't even want to watch it.
It took me two and a half hours to read it on a rather boring night. After the subtitles and the ending song were played, I was stunned for a while. I never thought it would be such a complex and unspeakable movie, but also so pure that it makes people sigh. The "love" in "Love in Siam" is a kind of big and transformed love. For this kind of love, it can be called by another name, such as "warm feeling", "warmth", or nothing, in short , This is a kind of love for the happiness of the one you love. This kind of love can be parted, reluctant, holding hands, letting go, enjoying, and sacrificing. This kind of love transcends age, language, gender, time, and even life and death. It has nothing to do with morality and is based on worldly concepts.
In the adult world, the feelings between people, people and things are often posted as "family", "friendship", "love", "teacher-student love", "fans", "love" Fetish" and so on. I agreed with this before. Growing up, I carefully classified every emotion I felt into categories, but sometimes it was always a little confusing. Until April of this year, I went back to my hometown once to get rid of the ancestral house I lived in as a child. In the past few years, every time I went back to my hometown and occasionally passed by, my heart would sink and I would walk away quickly to avoid it. And that ancestral house has always been a nightmare in my heart. How many times have I dreamed back in the middle of the night, it always appeared in similar dreams like movie props, the faded red paint door, the water-stained ceiling, gloomy and intimate. My dear old grandmother, who passed away more than ten years ago, sat quietly in the bamboo chair in the living room, wearing reading glasses, sewing clothes stitch by stitch, as if she had never left me for so many years. The afternoon sun shines on her body, her figure is quiet and kind, in my dream I was still like a child, squatting on the ground against her back to play by myself... Every morning I wake up, only to find myself crying in my sleep. pillow. On the day I sold my ancestral home, I took the afternoon long-distance bus back to Xiamen. On the way, I watched the trees by the roadside fly backwards, and I suddenly burst into tears for no reason. An uncontrollable sadness. At that moment, I finally understood why I had been so afraid of seeing my ancestral house for so many years, and why I dreamed of it so often. Because there I sent away the person who loved me the most in the world, and in that house, under her nose, I used to grow up day by day. In a poem written by Su Dongpo to his deceased wife who had been dead for many years, Su Dongpo said that life and death are boundless in ten years. Huang Shujun also wrote in the sixth year of his friend Yang Minghuang's death, "I can't forget you, but I don't even realize that I am six years younger than you. This year, the world is constantly changing, changing my mind, but I don't want to leave the past." s lyrics. After passing through life and death and time, I think the furthest distance that human emotions can reach is this. No matter whether the other person is an animal, plant, stone lover, father and mother, or a stranger who has never met, if it is not because of deep love, why do you think of it? What happened a few decades ago seems to have happened yesterday; if it wasn't for deep love, why would I still have tears in my eyes when I think of someone who was separated? Will you still miss it? In "Love in Siam", the actor's lines are not many, mostly
"Why do you feel lonely?"
"I don't know either. I remember one summer, when I was about to enter the second grade, my father didn't know where to take Grandma. It was about three or four days, when Grandma came back... (Grandma passed away soon after.) Maybe it's because of this. Although it's over, I still miss Grandma very much."
"I sometimes wonder, if we really love someone, can we accept this kind of thing? If one day, he dies... parting is a part of life, we all know it, but can we really let it go? We really love someone and are not afraid of him leaving us? There is, we have to accept the fact that no matter where we are, the people we love are not around. That's loneliness. I've been like this for five years. Why is our world like this? I don't know what the rest of our days are How was it……"
Like him, my heart was emptied in the summer of the death of the person we loved so much, and for several years after that, I was alive with no other feeling than loneliness. Many people regard this movie as a gay movie, but I don't agree with it very much. An ignorant teenager, one who has lost the care of his relatives, the other who lacks comfort in a broken family, two hearts that refuse to despair, leaning against each other, giving and encouraging each other. The spiritual connection between the two people can be summed up in more meaningful and accurate terms, such as "feeling", "trust" or "dependence". Gender blurred the line at that time, all MEW and TONG needed was undivided love from another person. MEW longs for love, but not all love is in front of him, he can feel it. Because some love doesn't come from the person he cares about. That's why the friends of his band leave a sentence before leaving, why do you always think that others don't love you? How long does it take for such a persistent child to cross from the world of teenagers to the world of adults. The awakening of inner self-awareness, the self-identification of sexual orientation and the identity of others, it will take a long time! At the beginning, MEW was ashamed to be laughed at as gay, because a good friend in the band made a mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration joke in gym class, he turned his face with people for several days; TONG, who has always been taciturn, was also talking to his friends. The night he was playing together, he was crying with YING in his arms. He didn't know who he was or whether he liked boys or girls. Many times we do have the right to make our own decisions, but when you find that the road you are going to choose is not the smooth and bright road that others take, will you still have the courage to continue walking? Fortunately, the director let us see the growth of the two children in the story. Although we stumbled and were injured along the way, and although we did not see the sun immediately after the storm, we could always see a beautiful rainbow in the sky. MEW is an emotional, sensitive and delicate child, while TONG is silent and reserved. When watching movies, what I always feel bad for is MEW. But in retrospect, TONG was also quite difficult. Although MEW does not have the love of his family, his grandmother's love for him accompanies him through the piano he left behind. He also has musical talent. He can write his joys and sorrows in songs, and sing them to the people he loves. People all over the world listen. TONG has no choice, his sister is lost, his father is drinking heavily, and his mother supports a family. He puts all his thoughts in his heart and is not good at expressing it. Fortunately, TONG's family finally hugged each other in a heart-to-heart hug after some self-examination and confirmation of self-torture. Lost a sister, the family does not
However, MEW who is sensitive and easy to get hurt, MEW who is still lonely, MEW who is nostalgic, MEW who doubles happiness and pain... The most distressing MEW, what kind of people and things will you meet in your future life? Woolen cloth? How many years will it take you to meet the person you want to love him/her and then he/she loves you too? Although grandma and YING told you that there is love, there is hope, although your young face often smiles brightly, although you already know how to cry and say "thank you" to the red-nosed puppet that can no longer be intact, But I clearly saw despair and sadness written on your face at that time...
In fact, if you want to talk about this movie, you can have many angles. For example, this is the most popular movie in Thailand in the past two years. The introduction of HC starring Zhengtai, such as YING's interesting secret love plot in the movie, such as the director's delicate, delicate, and echoing shooting techniques, such as a few impressive details in the movie, such as the two rare in the youth movie The length of half an hour (the full version is said to be four hours), such as a very good soundtrack and theme song, such as the AUGUST band in reality, such as talking about its comparison with "Blue Gate" and "Midsummer Light Years", For example, talk about how to SAY GOODBYE with a broken heart, for example, discuss how broken families can pick up their sorrows and become normal again, such as communicating the relationship between loneliness and loneliness... Please forgive me for telling you about such a story on my own. A movie with a personal complex. While the film's ending is open-ended, I don't have any particularly good hopes for life or for the ending of the protagonist that wasn't shown in the movie. Whether it was heart-wrenching or heart-ache, no matter whether it was a lover or a lover, anyway, the story between people will either meet again or never meet again. And the ending after meeting again is sometimes "holding the hand of the child and growing old together", sometimes "meeting is better than not seeing each other, passionate but ruthless". What a complex human heart.
