It is a live-action film about the growth of a pair of sisters with musical talents, full of competition, jealousy, same-sex love and incest, telling the birth and fall of genius.
The younger sister worked hard because of her jealousy of her sister's outstanding musical talent as a child, and eventually surpassed her sister to become a "genius girl". Enjoy an international reputation. The sister turned into her sister's shadow. Under the performance road of the light, the younger sister surged with the lonely heart that had not grown up in the early fame, and the sister seemed to be covered up but could grow slowly. When she grew up, her sister was still radiant, but her sister became a nameless person, enduring loneliness and inferiority in contrast to her sister's fame.
This reminds me of another Taiwanese film, "Sunshine", which also deals with the issue of brotherhood, and this movie is more obvious. It is always the one who falls to the sun, the one who has the shade to live hard. "Everything is negative yin and yang" Everything has two sides of yin and yang, all yin, all yang is not unbalanced. The balance of each person is also a balance of yin and yang, a balance of light and darkness. However, in many families with two children, often one child lives out of face and one lives out. One in the sun with no trace to hide, one in the shadows, completely obscured. And the ending of these two people is often in line with Zhuangzi's useful and short-lived, useless and long-lived principles.
The name "She's lonelier than fireworks" is also a good interpretation of the cold in the heights. Sometimes behind the ultimate brilliance is often a sign of a rapid demise like a short flower. It seems that a large amount of energy has gathered at one point and exploded in a concentrated manner, and the rest of the time will be silent. And often slow growth can be preserved for a long time.
The sister's undisguised heart was valued by a music agent, regained self-confidence under his appreciation and encouragement, and finally harvested their sweet and bland love.
Out of jealousy, the younger sister also hastily married and found a promising "piano prince". Their union may be out of loneliness, perhaps out of revenge, out of the unwillingness to be "abandoned" by their sister.
Originally thinking that after the marriage, they were peaceful, and the sister suddenly broke the peace, and even proposed the absurd idea of sleeping with her brother-in-law, out of guilt and love for her sister, her sister shared her marriage, and finally made her herself extremely angry, and finally drove her sister away. It turns out that there are some things that cannot be shared, which is no longer the same as what they knew as children. (This is often the beginning of an adult feud between siblings, who find that some of the relationships have been replaced by a third person and excluded themselves.) Some things that were once shared and experienced together can no longer be shared and experienced, which will stimulate intense loneliness and jealousy, and the excluded people will find ways to join in, at the expense of destruction. Psychologically, it is an important shift in relationships from binary to ternary. ）
Eventually, her sister fell ill, slowly lost her music, lost her lover, lost her body, and even her life, and when she died, her sister came to her side, forgave her, and accompanied her on her last journey. The story ends with a shot of the sisters returning to their childhood and hugging each other. (This part coincides with the ending of the story of Tang Wei and a pair of sisters played by Deng Jiajia in "Daming Fenghua", ending with the sister lying in her sister's arms and reminiscing about the fantasy story that she had played together in the past - riding a carriage in the wind, and the sister accompanied her sister to overcome the fear of punishment brought about by her sins in this life and finally walked peacefully into the clan grave.)
Such a solution may seem absurd, but it is reasonable. There is always a person who is more real and knows how to satisfy himself, and there is a person who wants to go beyond and live more illusory. True and false, false and true, like the true and false Monkey King, it is difficult to conjure up the true and false, high and low. Parents are often mortals with the naked eye, looking up to this and belittling that.
Maybe the world really needs a pair of eyes to see this disturbance clearly. in order to jump out of the innings.
