I saw an exclusive interview with the Haier Brothers before, in which Ma Shi asked the host if they wanted to sing in Sichuan dialect on purpose. After that, it sounds like you can't cut your ears. Very impressed. This is the first time I've heard the description of this ear cut. This is a wonderful statement. And if this movie is regarded as a song, I think, except for the nude dance at the beginning, it will not cut my ears at all. If you watch it a second time. Not even at the beginning.
This comfort, thanks to photography, thanks to editing. The lens is clean, the style of painting is beautiful, and the three stories are completely told, making people have a smooth viewing process. Although the style is biased towards the overall depression, it is full of violence and sadness like the novel. But in fact, the director grasped it quite restrained. Some people say that the hero's revenge is too naive after watching the ending, but I still think this is a complete story. After all, everyone understands differently whether it is perfect or not. The character needs to be set, and the movie needs a complete logical chain of its own to frame the character. The context of the plot and the final ending are appropriate to the character of the male protagonist, even if you don't like it. But it makes sense. Characters, lines, and scripts are meant to serve the theme, not the other way around. The character of the male protagonist, cowardice, is very prominent throughout the beginning and end of the movie. In reality, the female protagonist cheated and even discovered that he had an abortion without his knowledge. He did not react too strongly. In the novel, his wife and daughter were raped and killed, and his reaction to the murderer was also extremely restrained. Basically, in this world, whether you want to be kind or ugly, whether you want money or love, whether you are selfless at the beginning, selfish at the beginning, greed at the end, or even cowardice is not a problem. The question is whether it is self-acceptance or not for the other party when it comes to love. Because if there is no intersection between two people, the strengths or weaknesses of the other person basically have nothing to do with you, and there will be no conflict. It becomes important in relationships that require a high degree of grinding and blending. This importance makes the attributes of your character, whether selfish or selfless, later become the fatal attack point of the opponent.
In political discussions, the blue skin and green bones of Taiwanese politicians are often mentioned, and it is very accurate to say that the heroine is here.
In the film, both the male and female protagonists' mothers have said that their mother and daughter are actually very similar. And she was a Republican who despised her mother. Consider her conservative and selfish. Against homosexuality, against abortion, against all freedom and openness in the new world. The heroine had a hard time accepting their arguments when she was young. She thought she should be a Democrat, a free and open leftist. Young leftists, without a clear consciousness and independent personality, are accompanied by naive emotions. out of reality. Come to think of it, the mother even mentioned in the process of persuading her that if they got married, the father would not contribute a penny. Since this is a threat, it actually proves the heroine's lack of self-reliance. Her lack of independence, although she couldn't accept the male lead's weakness in her bones, she still didn't dare to say it in her heart. At this time, she still couldn't accept the fact that she was actually the same person as her mother. In the end, the tragic side of the betrayal is created. If she can accept her own essence at this time, it is actually beyond reproach.
It seems that people who are not liberals have no conscience, but the label they put on is just a label, not themselves.
In the end, the male protagonist in the novel completed his self-redemption, and in reality he also completed the love suicide in his life story. The two echo each other. Even if it looks childish to you, it is heavy and oppressive to him. It was the self-seeing of his cowardly character. Many people will say that love is not the whole of life, and love can be chosen for the sake of life, so many people have no love. After losing it, just like the heroine, she still occasionally teases her past true love for her handsome husband. This scene is very cruel. But the problem is precisely what if life can't go on? Can you find true love again?
I think this is probably the theme of the movie.
