Today is Holly Hunter's birthday, and the old aunt is 60 years old.
25 years ago, she became famous.
Unlike Shu Qi, Shu Qi is later, the old aunt became the Oscar best actress with "Piano Lesson".
But like Maggie Cheung, she is an actress who belongs to the report card type.
Cannes and Berlin also won the best actress.
Today we talk about this movie from 25 years ago.
Douban did not have many people, and more than 60,000 people rated it with a score of 8.0.
Directed by Jane Campion, her first short film, Peel (1982), won the Palme d'Or at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival. The recently popular "Top of the Mystery Lake" seasons one and two are all from her.
She also has deep roots with Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Mingliang, and has collaborated: everyone has their own film / Cannes International Film Festival / Film History.
Back to Piano Lessons.
Douyou @ Yingzhi commented: "When the night is quiet, I think of the piano placed on the seabed, and the deep seabed is buried with a quiet silence. Leave the deepest loneliness to the sea.
In the fierce wind of the sea, a flat leaf boat carries the mute woman and her daughter out to marry a husband who has never met.
Because there are too many luggage and not enough personnel to carry it, the only thought of the heroine is that the piano has to stay at the seaside.
Qin stayed by the sea, and the heroine's heart did not integrate into her new home.
The appearance of carving the table into the keys made her husband think that she was a neurotic, and he did not understand what the piano meant to the heroine.
It meant that it was the only voice that communicated with her heart under her seemingly calm exterior.
She said she wasn't quiet because she played the piano.
The husband wants to exchange the heroine's piano for land at the cost of business and promises the other party that the heroine will teach the piano.
The heroine began to become unpeaceful, and the couple began to make a vocal request and a silent revolt.
The person who changed the piano planned to make a deal with the heroine, and as long as he agreed to his request, he could change back to the piano.
The heroine agreed.
From one key all the way up to ten, one wants to be loved, and one just wants to simply change back to the piano.
Unlike the simple and rough flesh exchanger, when the piano returns to the heroine's home without any relationship with the person, the heroine goes back to him.
He fell in love with the heroine: if you did not come with feelings, please leave.
A relationship that seems to be a love triangle, a cheating wife, a prostitute and a male junior.
There doesn't seem to be any discord.
What is the reason, perhaps the arranged marriage, the husband who only has business in his eyes is not what the heroine wants.
This is a bit like Chen Kaige's "Wuji", does Cecilia Cheung love the light? Maybe love, but she loves Kunlun maybe more.
The heroine uses the keys of the piano to call for information with her lover, but is known by her husband.
The husband finally couldn't help the anger of losing trust, and took an axe and cut off the heroine's hand playing the piano.
Perhaps in his opinion, without the piano, they can continue to live well, and one day the heroine will like her.
Outside the door of the heavy rain, the heroine did not have the slightest pain.
In the end, the heroine and her lover left the former home.
But her favorite piano was sunk into the sea by herself, and she ushered in a new life and began to speak, because of love.
Although Ida is proud, she cannot maintain her pride in the face of lust.
She loves this man more than she desires the man's primal power.
This man does not understand music, can not be compared with her widow, his love for Ida may be due to the lack of artistic inferiority, so he used scheming to defeat Ida with strength.
As for Ida, her husband and the man are actually the same kind of people, the difference is that the man first developed her latent lust and opened the shackles of her inner neutrality. So it is also destined that her future will be with this man.
This is also all the ordinariness of Ida as a woman.
The ordinariness of the woman creates the reality of the ending, so Ida cannot be buried in the deep sea with the piano, she can only live with this man in the sun, and can only fantasize about her piano and the silence she wants in the illusion.
