The movie "Daughter Red" is a co-production of Zhou Xun and Gui Yalei, filmed in 1995, after 26 years to watch, it is still a good movie, around a pot of daughter red wine, telling the emotions and lives of three generations of women, but also from one side reflects the growth process of women in different social backgrounds.
Let's first look at the different fates and lives of these three women.
Flower carving: for love willful, obsessive and so on for a lifetime
The flower carving was born in a winery family, and when she was born, her father brewed her a pot of "daughter red".
She lives the life of a big miss, her father is spoiled, she is confident and optimistic, after graduating from middle school with the first place, she planned to go to Shanghai to study, but she learned that her family had recognized her as a family affair.
To this end, she ignored the customs of the time and personally went to the door to find out, but she failed to do so.
After returning home, he was inadvertently attracted by the pattern on the shoulders of the painter Ah Lotus, and the two began to intersect and secretly had feelings. When she saw that the person who came to the door was a stupid boy who was still clamoring to eat "Luohan Bean", she was disappointed and angry.
She boldly chose to be with Ah Lotus and soon became pregnant.
In that feudal era, the reputation of the girl was more important than life at that time, the family affair was withdrawn, the father was angry, ah lotus was driven away, although promised to come to pick her up, but in that era of war and chaos, no one could predict what would happen in the future.
Finally, the father returned to the west, the flower carving supported the winery alone, the daughter Qiu Mei was born, and the two began to rely on each other for their lives.
Qiu Mei: Wrongly married for survival, just for peace
Qiu Mei's birth background doomed her to tragedy.
The family's wine shop, the industrious mother flower carving, and the father Ah Lotus in Taiwan have all become the burden and shame of Qiu Mei, and have been labeled as "capitalist".
More unfortunately, Huadiao was beaten into a rebel faction, and under the pressure of helplessness, Qiu Mei chose to draw a clear line with her mother.
At this time, Qiu Mei's colleague Chen Baokang, who is also a wine washing jar, showed favor to Qiu Mei.
Qiu Mei hated him out of instinct, but when she lived alone in the factory, she realized how important a good ingredient was.
After marriage, Chen Baokang's original form was exposed, delicious and lazy.
When Qiu Mei has a big belly, she still let Qiu Mei do housework, but she is idle all day.
When Qiu Mei gave birth in the hospital, he only cared about whether the child was a boy or a girl, and did not care about Qiu Mei's life and death.
Chen Fei: Female representatives of the new society, dare to love and dare to break through
Chen Fei is undoubtedly happy, although there is no father around, but growing up in the new society, accompanied by the love of her grandmother's flower carving, she has an opinion and courage.
Because he didn't like to study teacher training, he dropped out of school on his own initiative. Her relationship with her boyfriend Si Xiaojue, she admits that she likes him, but has no intention of marrying him.
She is self-reliant, selling silk scarves on a stall, and then becoming a bartender, very profitable, but hard, Si Xiaojue feels that this job is not suitable for her, shame, the two parted ways for this.
Later, Chen Fei finally opened the "Daughter Red Wine Family" with the help of his grandmother and mother, and also entered the palace of marriage with Si Xiaojue, which can be described as a double harvest of career love.
A pot of daughters red, love like wine, drunk Fang knows heavy
The flower carving was a child who grew up in love, spoiled, but the feudal etiquette at that time could not allow her to marry freely, and she also longed to drink the "daughter red" that her father made for herself, but the betrothed was not satisfactory, and the news of The Lotus was completely absent, so that she had no chance to drink this altar of "daughter red", and she decided to take it out when her daughter Qiu Mei got married.
But in her heart, she is satisfied, and her union with A-Lotus is the purest emotion of youth,
Therefore, she can still maintain her optimism and courage for life when her father dies of illness and ah lotus is missing, and she "catches wine" like her father.
She cares about her daughter, loves her granddaughter, has her own life, when she is old, dancing to the music and exercising, and when she is 70 years old, when she hears that Ah Lotus is coming back, she ignores her body and does the hygiene up and down the home, mopping the floor, wiping the windows, stairs,
The years have changed a lot, but her loving heart has never changed, because she believes in her love, and even after waiting for a lifetime, she "does not regret it".
When Ah Rong returned, she saw the scars on his shoulders, and before he could finish speaking, she forgave him, he understood that his life was not easy, she touched those scars, only heartache, no half a complaint.
Qiu Mei's attitude towards her daughter Hong was completely opposite.
She doesn't drink.
When Qiu Mei was about to marry Chen Baokang, the flower carvings knocked around the wall roots, hoping to find the altar of wine as Qiu Mei's dowry, but Qiu Mei was afraid to avoid it, saying that she did not drink, and excitedly shouted loudly, "I don't want me not, that's the old custom, 'four old'." Then ran like crazy.
On the wedding night of Qiu Mei, HuaDiao was alone at home drinking, and taking advantage of the wine, she sang the passage of "Liang Zhu", full of thoughts about Ah Lotus and the infinite desolation of her failure to be with Ah Lotus.
When she saw her mother Huadiao sell the house to raise money for Chen Fei to open a restaurant, in order to prevent Chen Fei from making a big fuss about her daughter Hong as an advertisement for guests, she suddenly understood her heart as a mother, and also understood the persistence and love in her mother's heart, she said to Chen Fei, "I want to drink a little wine", maybe at this time, she suddenly felt that living, not only survival, but also love and faith.
When grandma gave her the hard-won daughter Hong, who had been hidden for 70 years, she thought of it as a commodity, as an advertisement to attract the attention of customers, and she did not understand that this wine was the most important thing in her grandmother's life - this is father's love, this is love, this is also her love for her daughter and future generations.
When her grandmother fell ill, she understood that love is the most important thing, and she finally faced her true heart, called Si Xiaojue, found the person she loved, and did not let herself leave regrets.
Wine such as love, flower carving has been tasting and reminiscing all his life, and finally drank his "daughter red", but love is not the whole of life, whether it is Qiu Mei missed or Chen Fei has it, it is the icing on the cake of life, how women live, you have to decide.
