war and love

One of the clues in the film revolves around the various disasters Inman experienced during his escape. Inman escapes the bloody battlefield with a broken heart tortured by war and embarks on a difficult and dangerous journey home. Along the way, life is on the line, thrilling, escaped the bloody pursuit, survived hunger and cold, experienced the test, and finally returned to Lengshan with a narrow escape. The war makes people lose their sense of humanity and security, and the cruelty and hypocrisy of human nature are completely exposed in the war, while Inman has experienced the test of emptiness, courage, romance and loyalty along the way, and gradually recovered the conscience lost in the war. The indifferent killing machine on the battlefield is transformed into a kind hero who is willing to help the weak. Another clue to the film is that Ada struggles to survive the war and waits for the return of her lover. Inman went to the front, and Ada kept her promise of "I'll be waiting for you" when she offered her first kiss. With the help of the optimistic and tenacious country girl Ruby, she escaped from the superior life of Miss Qianjin, used her diligent hands to revitalize the farm left by her father, and waited eagerly for Inman, when the two brave and strong lovers finally reunited. The war is almost over, and their meeting is very sudden. There is no romance in imagination, but a little more warmth. I thought that happiness was within reach, but Inman still couldn't escape the bullet of evil that followed. The loud noises, soaring fires, close hand-to-hand combat and bloody scenes in the film show that it is a war movie, while the simple and lingering thoughts and happy and sad love of the film show that it is also a touching love movie. War and love are the two indispensable elements of this film

    Although it is well-made and the beautiful soundtrack sets off the mood, after all, the theme is old-fashioned and the characters are flat, which is really frightening. In McGee's words, each character in the play is just a symbol. They wear masks and don't even need acting skills. Casting is also a problem, Nicole is too strong and too lascivious. I don't feel that Tu Qiu is worthy of her, so I don't have any feeling that the meticulous love is distracted.

    It turned out that the war was not only painful for the men who fought to kill the enemy, but also the women, the elderly and the children who stayed behind.

Cold Mountain quotes

  • Ruby: [to Ada] Am I hard to hear? 'Cause you keep repeatin' everything.

  • [Ruby has just walked in on Inman and Ada talking by the campfire]

    Ruby: Number one - shut this door, it's freezing. Number two - shut that door, it's freezing. I'm laying on my back, with my fingers poked in my ears trying to shut out who's got a bag of diamonds and who's carrying a tray. If you want to get three feet up a bull's ass, listen to what sweethearts whisper to each other. Now, if you're going to wimble wimble all night, I'm going to sleep in with him.

    [she stomps into her father's hut]
