Met yudi and talked about "Love Three Seasons". She said that the form of this film is greater than the content, and I said that a little form is not bad. After all, this form is not like Zhang Yimou's rural films that devalue without brightening, nor is it like Gao Daquan's revolutionary films that promote without acknowledging reality. Romantic and subtle expressions are actually the most acceptable means of acknowledging a painful reality.

"Three Seasons of Love" is like this, indulging in the beauty that is still deep in the soul of the Vietnamese after the war in a dilapidated reality. The story of the old poet symbolizes the decay of Vietnam. The once beautiful young man has become ugly, but his heart is still longing for beauty. As long as the same sincere soul understands, it can be turned into pure petals and end up along the gentle river. be complete.

The story of the prostitute and the coachman symbolizes the impetuous part of Vietnam's post-war revival. In the world of flowers, how many spectators are looking forward to the glitzy life in star-rated hotels. The prostitute considers herself a participant, but even though she often enjoys the air-conditioning and soft bed, she never once takes off her pretense to sleep. The reality may not be beautiful, but the wind oil essence in the shabby house can save her life; and in the simple life, you can also enjoy the beauty of falling red leaves. Just as, every country has gone through detours, and in the end it has to return to its national conditions. After returning, it is likely to find that the gap between dreams and reality is not so difficult to accept.

The young generation after the war, the lotus girl, the director painted a lot of bright colors on her body, looking forward to the awakening of the beautiful nature of young people, symbolizing the near future of Vietnam. Dare to challenge the authority of outdated ideas in the lotus pond, stop sighing all day, and reinvigorate people's optimistic attitude towards life; although I was once confused by those impetuous fake flowers, but they do not easily follow the trend, but have an assertive to explore and go. Thinking; being able to see the beautiful heart of the poet through his ugly appearance is like seeing the beauty that will not fade with the destruction of the years through the ruined Vietnam.

The retired GI symbolizes America's sins in Vietnam, and the director makes him punished for what he did. Although still subtle and euphemistic, I personally don't like this one very much.

Woody pinned the director's good wishes for the younger generation after the war in Vietnam. Although they were helpless, they survived tenaciously and optimistically, just like Vietnam in the future. The loss of the box is also an obvious symbol, referring to those things lost by all Vietnamese people before and after the war. And the recovery of the box is naturally a good wish. One detail worth noting is that the box was not stolen by the Americans, but by the Vietnamese themselves. This reflects an objective reflection of the director, who believes that although the United States has committed unforgivable crimes, the loss of the Vietnamese after the war should not be generally blamed on the United States itself, but self-reflection is what must be found.

Three Seasons quotes

  • James Hager: I made many mistakes in my life. That was a long time ago. Have I met the same man I was then? A lot of times past. When a chance comes around to make a wrong a right it's a special thing. But I hoped to make one thing right.
