Drink all the cold and warm, travel through mountains and waters, love is the ecstasy in troubled times

"Cold Mountain" was released in the United States in 2003.

This is the weirdest romance I've ever seen.

Before the outbreak of the Civil War, the heroine Ada was the owner of the Southern Manor, and the hero Inman was the working boy of Xiaoshuai and Xiaoshuai who built a house in the manor.
For a short period of time, I can't tell if it was days or weeks, or longer, a few months, it's always a very slight time, a very slight look and intersection, and a sense of who is more important than the other. The heavy kiss was not vigorous, nor the sun and the moon stayed together for a long time.
Who would have guessed that love can also be born in this way.
This is the movie, he said, if there is love, love will come.


When the war broke out, Inman went to the battlefield.
In the interweaving of war and death, Inman remembered a woman, in a place called Cold Mountain, waiting for him to return.
In order not to die on the battlefield, he resolutely decided to be a deserter, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, in order to return home.
(Why do I remember the theme of the Spring Festival... A large part of human feelings is always the same.)

On this journey, Yingman survived.
Running through the road are Ada's slow letters.
She said that wars happen every day, that people die here every day, and you are not heard from.
The only bit of courage I have left is my confidence in you.
Accept that you won't be back.
come back to me,
come back to me is my request.

In that distant blue village called Cold Mountain, like a valley isolated from the world, the war did not explode here, but, under the continuous influence of war, the peace in people's vigilance is a kind of war, alone An old man who raises a sheep is a war. Losing a husband and facing a seriously ill widow alone is a war. Expecting an end to the war is a war. is a war.

The male and female protagonists in the movie are all like chicken blood, one is going home full of blood, and the other is waiting overnight. It was as if the two people were aroused by the sound of the gunshots of the war with a mighty force, and they passed through the feeling of dissociation that had been vaguely absent, and suddenly became dependent on each other in life and death.

So I would like to believe that there is such love at first sight.
In those years when fireworks tested the will of human beings to survive, all visible people and things could be easily destroyed by guns. In the process of this destruction, there is a missing person and a love that insists on firmly believing, even if this love will make life more difficult because of expectations, but at least it can make life in prison shine.

Behind the love in this movie, there are some delicate emotions. The character of Ruby's rough village girl, when she first saw Ada's terrified big cock and then reached out to wring the head off, she felt that this child was going to do a lot.
She was angry with her father for abandoning her.
She spoke ill of her father while talking about his father's ability to play five violin songs.
When her father came home, he played "Ruby's Eyes Glitter" for her. But Ruby looked angry. How she wished she could play with her father like this forever. When she said "I won't shed a single tear for him", she found a big hat to cover her eyes.

This is the emotion, hidden deep in people's bodies, flowing turbulently and painfully.

Inman, who returned home, still did not leave the pursuit of the war.
To be able to live is to say "I love you" to each other's face, which is already the last word under the burning fire.

Even today, I think some people are like that, living like their lines.

"In front of yourself, you should always leave a place, stay there alone, and then love, I don't know what it is, who I don't know, I don't know how to love, I don't know how long I can love, just wait for a love, maybe There will never be anyone, but this kind of waiting is love itself."

"I miss myself in that year, and I don't even know him at all. But I once loved him more than myself."



It's just that at the end of the movie, Ada is holding the child she and Inman made on the last night before they died. It's really a bit of that... This spares no effort to comfort, but it will never erase the lost regret.
As Ada speaks, it's as if you're still on your way home. The rest of the plot is so superfluous.


I would like to remind people to say goodbye to war.

"What we lost will never come back to us. This land will never be healed -- because of too much blood debt. All we can do is learn from the past and take it with you to make peace."


Off topic, In the spiritual realm, a civil war in someone else's family created 200 years of freedom and democracy. Why did we experience negative growth?

    Re-watching it during the Spring Festival, I found that the film's control of the scene and rhythm is still very good. Add 2 stars to the "2 stars" originally given.
