I didn't take it seriously when I watched it, but at first glance it just felt mysterious, and I couldn't help but scold the director in my heart why he made these pretentious things to confuse people.
But after closing the computer and laying down on the bed after turning off the lights, Yu Jiaolong's figure with a faint white light flashed in his mind, and he refused to leave for a long time, especially when she jumped at the end...
At this point, I am still confused, why did she choose to jump off the cliff in the end? She is clearly free. She broke with her temperatureless home, the blue-eyed fox who had been controlling her was killed, and the man she loved was by her side "sincere and spirited", obviously they could "peach blossoms in March, two One person, one horse, the horizon of tomorrow"...
Even though the cliff is surrounded by white mist, it looks like a fairyland, covering the rugged and hard rocks. It seems that jumping down is not broken, but reborn.
I can't help but think, what kind of person is Yu Jiaolong?
At the beginning of the film, she said, "I'm about to get married, but I haven't done what I really like." "Wouldn't it be fun to walk around on the rivers and lakes?"... She is full of curiosity about the rivers and lakes .
The Qingming Sword is a treasure and is heavily guarded, but she can easily steal it, just because she finds it fun.
It is because of fun that he left the rivers and lakes on the day of his marriage.
She went to Yu Xiulian to have a heart-to-heart talk and went to Li Mubai to fight because it was fun...
In the film, she said the words "play" and "fun" more than once.
She is a curious and playful person, like a child, and unlike a child, she has mastered the amazing martial arts that children do not have.
At the same time, she was unwilling to accept the so-called rules. She originally thought that she only needed to abide by the rules of the boudoir at home, and she would not be bound by those rules when she entered the rivers and lakes, but in the end she found that as long as there are people, there are various rules. Moreover, relationships and feelings are always intertwined between people.
She is both good and evil, but her heart has never been contaminated by the world. She has always been watching the world as an outsider. Before her ethereal and distant dreams of the rivers and lakes were broken, she practiced and refined martial arts, not to make a name in the rivers and lakes, nor to eradicate evil, just to "good" It's fun." Finally, she said to the master, "Thank you for giving me a dream, but I can't see the edge of the river."
She is like a gust of wind, a free bird, nothing can restrain her. Even after being with Luo Xiaohu, although she gave him the cherished comb, her heart still belongs to her. She is always whole.
She does not belong to the mortal world, she is more like an elf, or in other words, she is actually a nihilist. After a short experience, she understood that as long as she was in contact with people, her freedom would be limited and she would not be complete. After exploring the nature of dreams, dreams burst like soap bubbles. Love is like this, and so are the rivers and lakes dreams. So, in the end, she chose to be free forever.
It has to be mentioned here that Director Ang Lee seems to have entrusted his own understanding of Taoism in this film. And make people retreat from desires and delusions, and use their own emptiness to clarify other people's delusional minds. Advocate clear emptiness and self-defense, and serve things in harmony. The image of Yu Jiaolong seems to interpret this passage.
At the end of the film, Yu Xiulian instructed Yu Jiaolong earnestly and earnestly in the attitude of a senior: "Remember, no matter what your decision in this life is, you must be sincere to yourself." At that time, my heart couldn't help but feel warm, but when I wanted to understand it, I found that it was actually ironic, because all along, the person who treats me the most sincere is actually Yu Jiaolong.
I remember a friend once said, "I don't think I will really fall in love with someone in my life." At that time, I was very puzzled, thinking that this was just an excuse before he met the person he really loved. But now I seem to understand that maybe it really has nothing to do with anyone but myself.
Looking at the world, too many people are forcing themselves, but they do not want to accept it, but they force themselves to accept it; they do not want to get married, but they force themselves to marry because of secular ethics;
In the end, it might not be as good as Yu Jiaolong's leap. She came from nothingness, and eventually returned to nothingness.
And most people, after sighing in tears and envious of Yu Xiulian and Li Mubai's repressed true feelings after their lifetimes, continued to find some true feelings in this empty world.
