Her name is France, her name is Vietnam

The background of the film is the sunset of French rule in Indochina, and there are several details that are particularly moving.

In another 5 hours, we will arrive in Yunnan, China. A fugitive French naval officer carried his newborn son into the river, where he wanted to baptize the little guy. Suddenly looking up, several French soldiers surrounded him with guns. On the way to Saigon, one after another Indochinese women breast-feed their newborn babies. In my opinion, the little guy's experience is really a magical thing.

The liberation movement of the Vietnamese people was surging, and a few years later, the prison for the Viet Cong was opened, and Kamei became calm and determined, enduring the pain she suffered. It's still that youthful face, with the large strands of gray hair that stings people's eyes.

When Camerin and Jean Bast started to flee, a small boat floated in Halong Bay, with blue sky above and blue sea below. There were pillar-like rocks between the sky and the sea, as clear as a fairyland.

I also want to say that Deneuve wears oriental clothes, which is very charming.

This film is all about sadness: for Elaine, she has suffered a quenched love, but is fettered by the rubber plantation and her father. If love is not maintained, it will slip away; for Camerin, she is a quiet, intelligent, very strong woman who dares to love and hate, and she fell in love with Jean Battis, who saved her, and refused. With a prominent fiancé, he embarks on the path of finding love alone. Faced with such a woman, Yan Shi will also be moved. Camerin shot a French naval officer because the French were trafficking people and killing women and children at the port. They were apprehended separately shortly after the child was born. Since then, Jean Battis was assassinated by the security services. A series of tragedies pushed the Vietnamese princess down the road of revolution.

To use Duras's way, in fact, Irene's name is France, and Camerin's name is Vietnam. As the last colonizer, Irene lost her Indochina dream; as the pioneer of the Socialist People's Republic of Vietnam, Camerin, who had endured hardships, ushered in the new life of her homeland.

    It turns out that Indochina refers to the divided Vietnam! The colonists who went to live in the colony turned it into their hometown, and then faced the theme of having to leave, being isolated by the motherland and the land as aliens. Probably because of a certain idol group, they don't have any good feelings about Vietnamese faces, and it's really disgusting to act like Xiangruiyimo. Deneuve's refusing and welcoming scene in the car is really not bad, well I care about it. . .

    The naked colonialism under the cover of love, the storytelling skills are good. Before the play, we introduced the death of the Vietnamese girl, the royal family, the girl and the woman, and the heroine inherited the legacy of her parents, which made colonialism legal. The heroine and various Vietnamese are generally referred to as mothers and children throughout the whole chapter. Whipping her laborers means that you are me It's really hypocritical, such a stinky thought can get a high score, most people's buttocks are misplaced, you are the low-level laborers in the eyes of these white colonists, you should be enslaved, look at me She also cares about you, whips you, and educates you not to make mistakes with motherly love. Domestic screenwriters, can you fight for your breath and learn how to pack your stinky thoughts better

Indochine quotes

  • Guy: Give me Le Guen.

    L'Admiral: No.

    Guy: What will you do with him?

    L'Admiral: I'm awaiting orders from Paris.

    Guy: Let me question him. What he knows about the communist networks and leaders is of major interest to us.

    L'Admiral: Three points, Mr. Asselin. One: Le Guen doesn't talk. He hasn't spoken since his arrest. Not even to my chief of staff - his classmate. Two: If I hand him over to you, he might talk. But I'd rather not. We know your methods. Three: Le Guen is a sailor. His case will be tried by sailors. Any relevant information will be passed along to you.

    Guy: Thanks. Another example of Navy-Police cooperation. That's what makes empires great.

  • Mme. Minh Tam: You have to forget this man, Lili. I'll never understand French love stories. They're all about madness, fury, suffering... they're similar to our war stories. You know the secret. I've told you already.

    Eliane: Yes, I know. Indifference.
