"Love in Three Seasons": Beautiful as a white lotus

"Central Station" couldn't find it anywhere, so I chose "Three Seasons of Love" ("Love Seasons") to play

a film that was a bit selfish, but I always wanted to watch it. I saw the introduction and saw the poster. I liked it.

I used to confuse the director because of its beautiful and fresh style. Chen Yingxiong's films

(his "The Smell of Green Papaya" is really beautiful but only suitable for watching when the mind is quiet)



Bao Dongni and Chen Yingxiong are full of love for Vietnam, and they both use slow and beautiful narratives in the

face of the disaster-stricken homeland One by one, showing

compassion for the heavens and the people, not all need to make the viewer cry like rain,

this calm beauty hides the scars, but also sets off the thrilling



white lotus boat picking lotus song The lotus girl is disfigured and keeps her poetic heart towards the world A poet who

is insulted and damaged A prostitute who always reads broken books A tricycle driver who is endlessly

searching for a small box for his own survival Kind heart, the lotus girl volunteered to write poetry for the poet who lost her finger, the tricycle driver to attract prostitutes, willing to wait every day to raise enough money to make a transition one night just to see the washing of the enamel, her deep sleep , the child to share with the younger girl A piece of cake is also becoming more and more silent for those who are suffering, because knowing that it does not help to find the finer things in life, the poet is attracted by the song of the lotus - pickers She smiled and looked up at the sky, as pure as ever, as if she had gone through a dark tunnel and felt the moonlight pouring down like water . The American soldier found his daughter who was trapped in the joyous field, bought a white lotus as a gift, and wanted to have redemption.

























It may also be considered that the movie sets such a plot, whether the soul is empty, sinking or guilty

, the emotions between people will become redemption, and it will

also bring beauty and hope to

this disaster-stricken tropical land, even if it is illusory. Unreal hope is like the ending of the movie: the

poet dies and leaves a poem for the lotus girl The

tricycle driver impresses the prostitute She wears a white shirt like a lotus and smiles a pure

soldier finds his daughter and tries to be forgiven

The little boy finds the box and meets a friend



The film is beautiful The rhythm is soothing, like the temperature of the palm of the hand, slowly ironing through the inner

lotus, the tune is beautiful:

who knows how many stems there are in the rice field? How many bay streams does the river have? How many cloud layers does a cloud have?

Who can sweep the leaves from the forest? Who can tell the wind to stop blowing the tree?

How many locust leaves do silkworms eat to make antique clothes?

How much rain does it take to keep the ocean from flooding with tears?

How long does it take for the moon to grow old? Can you come through in the middle of the night and stop nearby? I will sing for

the person who can steal my heart . May the sky rise to the sky... Beneath the tranquility and calmness of the East, there is a river that flows to you with unyielding and forbearance . You don't know how many turns it goes through. The director described the Vietnamese style in the way of looking back at the homeland. The people here have endured war and poverty. They have been weathered but exuded fragrance like those white lotuses, white and snow . PS. Compared with Ho Chi Minh City, I prefer its name Saigon SAIGON . It's like a city with a story. Vietnam has experienced the city life after the destruction. The people in it have a sense of forgiveness.























The decadence after the damage and the original beauty are blended together, which
can not be ignored or ignored. Vietnam is like a lover's beauty.

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.
