"Eating and drinking, men and women, people's great desires. It's hard to not want to, and I've been busy all my life, just for this..."
The ethics of love and family affection.
The old lover who broke up may be more comfortable in the communication of spirit and body. Not long after the film begins, Jiaqian's emotions and desires are revealed. I think maybe it's because the lovers who broke up are no longer responsible for each other and have no expectations for each other. No matter what the other party has done for him, he has no reason to blame or be sad. After Jiaqian's pure physical desire is satisfied, in her eyes, only an empty soul is left.
"Love is that you can talk about anything you want in front of someone who cares about you. This kind of feeling is love..." The
little sister "taken away" her colleague's boyfriend, and finally married her son, the first of the three sisters to get married .
The eldest sister, Jiazhen, was teased by her students' love letters and finally got her true love. In order to satisfy her boyfriend's desires, she, who is not a Christian, can only marry with the proof of a priest. A loyal woman, the sacred expectation of love, is finally blessed by happiness.
Jia Qian, played by Wu Qianlian, is the first person to say that he will leave this "eaves" and live alone. At the end of the plot, Jiaqian became the only daughter who did not leave home and guarded her father.
The father played by Lang Xiong is deeply imprinted in my heart. Every Sunday night, the three sisters would go home for dinner. As a chef's father, he would work hard all day to prepare a table full of delicious food for this agreed family gathering. However, with the growth of age, my father's sense of taste gradually lost, until the end of the film, Jiaqian made a dinner for him...
Speaking of which, I don't want too much spoilers, I want to write the film more Changed my outlook on life. About love, about family, about marriage.
A woman, her ultimate destination is family. Husband, kids, and that nightly dinner for her loved ones. The parenting of their children is a debt owed in a previous life, which will be repaid in this life.
This film from the 1990s seems to be the crux of the current chaotic society. Word by word, revealing the truth of life.
I think rewatching the film after a while will have another taste.
The performances of Gui Yalei and Zhang Aijia are also very good, and Papa Zhu's last twilight love is the highlight of the movie. This early film directed by Ang Lee is a classic.
