Chapter 1,155 The meaning of life, the destination of death
The audience for a movie like "Love Letter" is particularly interesting.
There are fans on the Internet who have watched the movie, and the feedback they gave after they went back was very interesting.
"You love me, I love him, he loves him, he loves her...
Hey~ Why is there no one in love in this world anymore?
Why is everyone in this world unhappy?
Why does everyone in this world love others but not themselves!"
"Rather than let love die, I would rather live well with each other, even if the person by your side is not me."
"I went to the cinema to see it, and the screening room was packed. But it was a bit strange. Even if a couple watched the movie, one of them would cry while watching it, but they would never ask for comfort from the other half. Well, I think this movie is really interesting.
I feel guilty!”
"After watching this movie, I can only say one word, awesome! Because everyone must have had other emotions before the real union, and the awesome thing about this movie is that it can easily evoke everyone's deep hidden feelings.
I am experiencing a certain emotion, so, I think evilly, this movie has the potential to derail people’s spirits! Tsk tsk!”
"After reading "Love Letter", I couldn't help but pass by the door of the eldest brother's house I had a crush on when I was a child. Then I saw an uncle with a greasy face. I felt bad for a moment. Suddenly I felt that the male protagonist in "Love Letter" might be a person to me.
For Chen Bing, he didn’t die in a mountain disaster, but in time! He thought evilly, maybe my big brother I secretly loved had already died, and he was definitely not that greasy uncle, ahhhhhh! I
It’s impossible to have a crush on such an uncle!”
"After watching the movie, I laughed disdainfully. This is not our secret love, because people go in both directions. Also, this movie still tells us that this is still a world where faces are judged. I thought that if we put Chen Bing, the man he likes in the movie,
If Fang Xiao is replaced by a school belle-level beauty, will the male Chen Bing still have a crush on the female Chen Bing?"
"It's hard to tear down the upstairs!"
"At the end, when the heroine shouted to Dashan: "How are you? I'm fine," I cried.
A few months ago, in order to attend a class reunion, I washed my car by hand at one o'clock in the morning, selected clothes, and thought about meeting my first love as a successful person.
After graduation, I started from the bottom, joined a good local company, and bought a house. I thought I was more handsome and confident than before, and I would impress her.
When I saw her husband appearing with her in hand, my inner sense of superiority collapsed. My classmates all said that she married a considerate husband. I pretended not to notice her happiness when she was talking and laughing with others.
Brand-name clothes and nice cars don’t make me feel successful, maybe now is God’s best arrangement for her.”
"I didn't know what was going on and turned the card over carelessly.
I have nothing to say.
That's a portrait of me in middle school.
While I was pretending to be calm, I wanted to put the card in my pocket. Unfortunately, the apron I liked didn't have a top or bottom pocket.
I felt inexplicably sad after reading it!”
"This story is really not simple. Compared with most romance movies, the plot of this movie is definitely complex and sophisticated."
As the number of screenings increases, more and more people have watched the movie, and there are more and more interpretations of the movie.
Du Xianghai's film review interprets the film from another angle.
"Many people regard "Love Letter" as a "extreme secret love" movie, but is it really just that?
The heroine plays two roles. Director Li Yi also differentiates the two heroines through the use of lenses. Lin Sui is photographed with a stable long lens. At the same time, Lin Sui's clothes are mainly solid colors, mainly highlighting Lin Sui's elegance.
, has a quiet personality, while the female Chen Bing often shoots with sports lenses, and her clothing is mainly designed with squares, showing the female Chen Bing's lively personality. Although the two people have the same appearance, their personalities are completely different.
This is just like the two of them in the movie at the end, one moving towards the future and the other clarifying the past.
The movie does talk about youth, secret love, and love at a superficial level, but in my opinion, at a deeper level, it has been talking about a proposition of life and death.
This can be seen from the many symbols in the movie.
Precisely because of their existence, "Love Letter" is not only a movie about youth love, but also a sublimation of the interpretation of "the meaning of life" and "the destination of death".
The first is snow and dragonflies, which are used to symbolize the tradition of mourning and the poignancy of death, rendering a pure and lively atmosphere.
At the beginning of the film, Lin Sui is lying on the snow, which has already set the tone of the whole film. It is a quiet and sad atmosphere. The dragonfly in the ice in the memory of the female Chen Bing is only sealed in the most beautiful time. This is a
It is an aesthetics of death. At the same time, it uses Lin Sui's inability to accept the death of her fiancé and the female Chen Bing's memory of her father's death to ask people's spiritual questions about the death of those around them.
In many places in the film, we can feel the true meaning of life from "life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves".
Just like in the film, Lin Sui has not emerged from the shadows several years after her boyfriend Chen Bing's death. In the end, she shouted to the majestic snow-capped mountains: "How are you? I'm fine." She shouted until she couldn't help crying.
Only then did I realize that he was no longer here. Just like Chen Bing’s grandfather and mother. When Chen Bing had a high fever, her mother actually thought that the death of Chen Bing’s father was because her grandfather insisted on carrying him to the hospital and forgot about it.
It only took my grandfather 40 minutes to carry him to the hospital. It is unimaginable that after the death of Chen Bing’s father, my grandfather would silently walk the road from home to the hospital over and over again with his pocket watch in his pocket, until he finally used it.
The cold numbers convinced him that his choice at that time was not wrong. So when the female Chen Bing encountered the same situation, he did not hesitate at all.
This is because when people face death, they will leave a lot of regrets that cannot be changed. They will always subconsciously blame themselves for the cause to comfort themselves.
In the end, Lin Sui was able to shout loudly at the mountain where Chen Bing died, releasing the burden and longing she had buried in her heart. Chen Bing's mother finally realized her husband's death and no longer decided to move out with her husband.
The old house of memories. The female Chen Bing was finally able to accept the confession of the male Chen Bing through time and space after seeing the library card, which reflected the infinite beauty between life and death.
Those who have lost their loved ones and suffered big or small separations may have been like Chen Bing, grandpa, and mother in the movie, burying the pain in their hearts, suppressing their longings in their hearts, and not daring to face the fact that they are without them.
The reality of existence refuses to let go of oneself, and refuses to learn to say goodbye again. We have all tried, to blame ourselves, to cover up, to assume what-ifs, to think over and over again, just to find out that time from the past.
A little regret and self-comfort.
But movies have always told us to deal with the past, face it, and face it. Treat yourself in the gentlest way, called reconciliation. Proust said in "In Search of Lost Time": Life is just a series of
In an isolated moment, relying on memories and fantasies, many meanings emerge, then disappear, and then reappear after disappearing.
It is regrettable, but it is also beautiful and healing, because it tells us in the most delicate way: beautiful memories will accompany the memories of the living and live on in another way.
At the same time, look for yourself and be born toward the sun."
