This film is a presentation, not a description, and the richness of its connotations can only be captured by the audience to a certain dimension that suits them. Therefore, it is not appropriate to hope to understand the film through film reviews. Beauty is displayed everywhere in the movie, the beauty of the human body, the beauty of the scenery, the beauty of the magnificent, even the beauty of the hustle and bustle of the nightclub, and the solemn beauty of the saints. As for beauty, Wilde believes that beauty itself is worth pursuing as the purest beauty, and it also places an infinite beauty in the youth, which is a reminder to young people that the beauty of youth really only grows in aging and decadence Only after that can I truly appreciate and regret it. I also saw this kind of strong cherishing of youth in the movie. Jep's merciless dissection of the colleague who wrote eleven novels is naturally reminiscent of Eileen Chang's famous quote: Life is a gorgeous robe covered with lice. The whole film is like a prose poem, and emotions are the theme of the film. Birth, old age, sickness and death, love and parting are just clouds in the sky or foam in the ocean, leaving some emotions behind, and the rest of life, we must move on. Jep's monologue at the end of the film is the most thought-provoking, and I would like to record it, rather than interpret it:
usually the end of things is death,
but first there will be life
lurking in this and
that Settling,
silence is emotion ,
love is also fear
, beautiful light, wild and impermanent, those
hardships, misery and pain
are all buried under the embarrassment of being a human
being . ...that's how the novel begins
In the end...it's just a trick
