Chapter 162 Literary films are lost

Many years ago, I saw the ad for the movie "Three Seasons of Love": a woman wearing a southern costume, with her face up, standing under a fiery red flower tree.Because of this frame of stills, I really want to watch this play; but there are so many things, I forget it when I put it down.I bought a DVD, but I was reluctant to watch it, so I put it aside for another half a month. "This is a 'literary film'!" After watching it, I have such a feeling. Literary film, what is there to be surprised about?After thinking about it for a few days, it turns out that there are no literary films in Hong Kong; literary films cannot be separated from a literary script, and an exquisite literary script cannot be written without an exquisite literary artist, or, A fine literary novel.

Some people made serious works, for example, Zhang Ailing's novels into movies; no matter how serious the filming is, it still makes people feel distant and becomes a "historical film"; . The director of "Three Seasons of Love" Tony Pao filmed Vietnam, allowing people to see the specific appearance of "Vietnamese living in Vietnam"; the audience can see and feel their culture, appeal, love and self-esteem.A tricycle driver waits for a prostitute outside the hotel every day, "I am a prostitute, and you are just a driver, what can we do?" The prostitute thinks that the hotel is very grand and gorgeous, and she wants to live in it and become a member of "that world". people; we also understand her bitterness and "vanity".

Outside the hotel, there was a girl selling white lotus, her name was Gan Xin, the sun was poisonous, and Gan Xin was sweating profusely; on this day, the lotus could not be sold because someone brought a truckload of plastic white lotus. "Plastic flowers still have a scent, and everyone likes to spray the strong smell on the flowers." This is the complaint of the lotus picker: "civilization" is very vain, but the public flocks to it. Harvey Keitel plays a veteran who returns to Vietnam to look for his daughter, but he can't find it. He is so depressed that he drinks to drink away his sorrow. At this time, his daughter appears: she is here to accompany the drink.The camera turned again, and he bought a bouquet of fragrant white lotus flowers from Gan Xin and gave it to his daughter; Destiny is full of mud, but people's hearts can emerge from the mud without being stained.

The Vietnam in "Three Seasons of Love" is not the Vietnam where American terrorists are used as a weapon testing ground. This Vietnam is beautiful and elegant; in the opening scene, a woman wearing a bamboo hat goes boating in a pond to pick white lotuses. There is a Chinese house in the pond. The old song, "...the fate of a woman is like raindrops, some fall in the black gutter, some fall in the golden pond..." It is knowing fate and accepting fate; The song made the old woman frown; the translation of the subtitles was rough, I thought about the original meaning and modified it, maybe it is closer to the heart of the lotus picking girl.

Does anyone know how many ears of rice there are in the field?How many streams does the river have? How much does the cloud weigh?Who can clean up the fallen leaves in the forest? Who can call the wind and blow the trees? How many mulberry leaves do silkworms eat to make beautiful clothes? It's going to rain, but how many tears can the ocean bear? How many years will the moon have to wait before it grows old and stops in the still night?The person who stole my heart, I will still sing for him, may he go straight to the sky... In Chi Zhonghua's house lived an old poet who suffered from a serious disease and rarely saw people, but was proud of his lotus garden; he told Gan Xin that when he was a child, a woman sang this song to him; Coming to be a guest, he wants her to sing this song for him one last time.

Symbols are well-used, and they are a bit "model", but they are not less interesting; stories with feelings are good-looking; with feelings, there is a little cultural flavor, so they can be spread. Without culture, there is no reflection on this culture, and there is no reason to reflect on it; or, if this "why" is not handled well, there will be no literary films; there are no literary films in Hong Kong, because of our culture, we have been handing in blank papers for a long time. "Three Seasons of Love" does not belittle the poor, everyone is poor, and people live with dignity in a country that has not been polluted by "Taoists".
