The dilemma in the tragedy of love can be seen in social life and a large number of works of art, the most famous of which is probably Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare's play. Their love tragedy can be said to have become the motif and prototype of many works of art in later generations.
Romeo and Juliet's family is a generational enemy who fell in love without knowing it. When they learned that their family had a deep feud, they could not extinguish the flame of love.
In order to be with her beloved, Juliet enlists the help of the priest and takes a drug of suspended animation to fly away with Romeo after awakening. However, before Romeo could hear from the priest, he learned of Juliet's death.
Thinking that his lover was really dead, he dug up Juliet's grave and, beside Juliet, drank poison and committed suicide. Juliet finally resurrected, seeing that her sweetheart was dead, in despair, pulled out Romeo's sword and committed suicide.
Under secular ethical norms, under the shadow of family vendetta, love has become more luxurious, and the choice of dilemma has made life more fragile. The film "Love Has an Afterlife" also tells the story of lovers who have to be involved in family feuds.
The heroine A Jiu, whose parents died since she was a child, was saved by her brother under the butcher's knife of the enemy. The brothers and sisters depend on each other and grow up struggling in the woods, with only one belief in their minds: revenge.
When they calculated everything and let Ah Jiu wait for the opportunity to go undercover in the Qiu family, Ah Jiu did not expect that he would fall in love with the younger brother of the Qiu family. I don't know when love began.
Maybe it was when he walked towards her with a large bouquet of fiery red azaleas, maybe it was when he saw his portrait of himself, maybe it was when he was galloping with him on a white horse, maybe it was just the first time they met, Armin's obsessive eyes had already captivated her heart.
But what can Ah Jiu do? The flute sound like a complaint, the silent tears, finally came to the mouth, and only turned into a sentence: "The tea is cold, I'll go and refill it for you." ”
Armin didn't understand her heart, he didn't know anything, and he certainly couldn't read her sorrow. Ah Jiu was unwilling to tell Armin the cruel truth, she preferred to be like this, silently guarding him.
So, when she finally made up her mind to be with Amin, living with him in a simple hut next to the temple, serving tea and eating every day, tasting tea and playing chess, she also smiled for the first time. She hoped that such days would be forever...
But that day came. On the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Brother Amin's usual descent time, Ah Jiu leaked their route of action, Brother Amin was seriously injured, fled to the temple, and finally died in Armin's arms.
After all, all this cannot be hidden. Amin pointed a gun at Ah Jiu, and Ah Jiu knew that they were no longer possible, and she bravely pulled Armin's trigger. Before her life passed, she and Armin met in the afterlife and whispered: "The tea is cold, I'll go and refill it for you." ”
Ah Jiu thought that Amin was still alive, so he hurriedly reincarnated. And then died under the spear of Ah Jiu's brother, but he was afraid that Ah Jiu could not find him, so he did not reincarnate, missed the opportunity, stayed on the road of reincarnation for 50 years, and has been waiting for Ah Jiu under the ginkgo tree, becoming a lonely soul and wild ghost.
In the afterlife, it is actually a human ghost relationship. The quiet ancient house, the thousand-year-old ginkgo, the gentle woman, the same stone table and stone bench, the same big tree in the courtyard, the dream situation and reality overlap together.
A Jiu in the previous life has long forgotten the past and has become Mo Xiaoyu in this life, with a lot of tea on the table, she stares at it from afar, not knowing what she is waiting for... A lonely soul Amin dressed as a monk comes every night to tell about his love-hate entanglement and causal cycle in his past life.
Xiaoyu was unconsciously immersed in it, as if listening to her own story. Love too deeply to forget. Although Xiaoyu didn't remember Armin, she remembered the code words they agreed on: "The tea is cold, I'll go and refill it for you." ”
When the tea is cold, it can be continued, but the love is broken, but it is difficult to continue. After listening to Amin's story, A-Jiu didn't know why she couldn't help herself with sadness, she suddenly remembered her past life and went crazy to find Amin. However, Amin has disappeared into reincarnation.
A Jiu in the film is always in a "dilemma". Human nature is complex, and emotional tendencies are multifaceted. In the world of Ah Jiu, there is love and family affection. She is burdened with hatred and the blood debt of the whole family, and in order to take revenge, Ah Jiu is firm and persistent, and voluntarily sneaks into the cottage to be an undercover agent.
She and her brother planned everything, but they didn't expect her to fall in love with the enemy's brother. There is a scene in the movie: Amin is upset and breaks Ah Jiu's teapot, Ah Jiu picks up the debris on the ground, his hands are full of blood, and Ren Amin bandages her wounds and bursts into tears.
Her love is stoic and tenacious, she wants to love but cannot love, and can only paralyze herself with physical pain. The fight of the temple, the annihilation of love, whether it is choosing love or revenge, is a tragedy for Ah Jiu.
