In this movie, Zhou Xun is once again hysterical for love, just like her in real life.
After the story was told, I found that Li Mi was desperate for love, as if Li Mi was not the only one - Fang Wen and Qiu Shuitian, they were all busy and overwhelmed for the strong love.
However, the ending is regrettable - life and death.
Why can't people who love each other be together?!
Everyone must not be able to stand that this kind of thing that should be done has an unexpected result, so they will be puzzled and ask such a question.
What is the cause of the tragedy in the film:
Something that has nothing to do with love is mixed in.
substance. Li Mi's family and Xiao Xiang's family both use different degrees of wealth as a criterion to decide whether to recognize the boy in front of them.
This is the most direct cause of their tragedy.
The intervention of others, the eyes of outsiders.
What qualifications are needed to participate in a love affair?
Self-esteem, or rather, is simply inferiority. In order to resist the ill will of others to pick and choose, we must try our best to prove ourselves, and the result is to go to extremes. Fang Wen chose to let his lover wait for four years, and Qiu Shuitian seemed to have been living on imagination and memories.
In this process, what supports them is self-esteem, or inferiority and vanity.
Can love withstand a long and unresponsive wait?
Can you fully understand the so-called "bitterness" because of love?
The characters in the film all have similar encounters, and the correspondence and overlap between them are very interesting.
Just like in "Dream of the Red Chamber", because Dai Yu and Bao Chao are too flawless, just like the characters in the sky, Mr. Cao arranged a "secular version" for them - Qingwen and Raider.
In this movie, Li Mi, played by Zhou Xun, Fang Wen played by Deng Chao, and Qiu Shuitian, played by Wang Baoqiang, also have this delicate relationship between them:
Both Li Mi and Qiu Shuitian are desperately looking for their vanished lovers;
Both Fang Wen and Qiu Shuitian take risks for their identities that are not welcomed by others in love.
The interaction between Li Mi and Qiu Shuitian is more interesting.
Li Mi is a taxi driver, Qiu Shuitian accidentally hit a drug dealer, came to Kunming, and got into Li Mi's car.
Li Mi, who is accustomed to analyzing her boyfriend for passengers in the car, this time, met Qiu Shuitian, who had a similar encounter with himself.
They really have a lot of similarities when it comes to feelings: anxious, angry, but still determined, still looking forward to it.
In the face of questioning, Li Mi yelled at the police officer: Will you mistake your wife?
Also in the face of doubt, Qiu Shuitian was close to madness: only Xiao Xiang would say such a thing!
They don't allow their instincts for love and their feelings for their lovers to be questioned!
I don't know how Li Mi will feel when he looks at this person in front of him who is as paranoid as himself: Will he feel sorry for himself? Will you waver in your four-year commitment to yourself?
In contrast, Fang Wen and Qiu Shuitian almost did not intersect.
In the early stage, the film did not give Fang Wen many shots. If it weren't for the final video, with LiMi's neurotic chatter alone, we might not have been able to piece together the fragmented words in the previous letter.
However, the director told us: from Qiu Shuitian's body, we can fully glimpse Fang Wen's situation.
The simple Qiu Shuitian has been pouring out to us how hard he has worked for Xiaoxiang, how simple his goal is - saving enough ten thousand yuan is enough.
For this seemingly simple goal, he can ignore the complexity of the process.
It turned out that Fang Wen, who had disappeared for four years, also embarked on the road of drug trafficking for the sake of Li Mi and Li Mi's family.
Drug trafficking is just a symbol in this movie. It symbolizes the extreme behavior and price that the "weak" in love can take for the relationship and the lover.
Just like the old six in "Let the Bullets Fly", in order to prove himself, under the excitement of the environment, he actually chose to cut his abdomen, which forced himself to a dead end.
In the movie, the two people who take the side for the love sword cannot wait for the long-awaited response, and their lives have not improved because of their patience and dedication.
The dead, as before, is a "vanished person", but no longer has to pretend;
The imprisoned still rely on the truth they think they think of life, rely on the girl in the memory to conceive love.
Such a tragedy can not help but make people regret: maybe they are paranoid, but can only have such an ending?
Maybe love doesn't need them to leave their homes and leave without quitting?
