the possibility of love

The first time I watched the "Red, White and Blue" trilogy was ten years ago. Kieslowski had just died at the time. I have always believed that Kieslowski was actually a philosopher. He uses a concrete way to explore some grand questions.
At the heart of the issues discussed in "Blue" is freedom. What Kieslowski wants to ask is: what is true freedom? The true meaning of freedom is not to love others easily. The focus of this question is: how a wife who has been betrayed by her husband can forgive others and how to gain the freedom to forgive others. Hate is a cage, and liberation from hatred is freedom, and the process is full of struggle. She threw herself and everything in her past in an attempt to be free, she failed, she tried and revenge in her husband's way, and she failed. When she finally learned to forgive her husband's mistress, she regained her freedom of mind. The issue discussed in "White" is equality. Equality, as the starting point of many political practices, is constantly being questioned in "Bai", the focus of which is: how a man who has no language ability in a foreign country can achieve equality in sex and life. A man deprived of language, he also immediately lost his sexual ability. How exactly do we achieve equality in our daily lives? The issue discussed in "Red" is fraternity, that is, the possibility of love.

I don't actually have time to write a movie review. But when I revisited his film "Red", I couldn't help but salute the director again. The rhythm of Kieslowski's films just strikes me. In "Red", Jacob kept shuttling between the residence, the studio, and the runway. People smiled and nodded to her, but never really communicated with others. It wasn't until she met an old lawyer who eavesdropped on other people's calls that she could communicate with people. I've always wondered how lonely we actually are as individuals. how lonely. "Red" isn't really about love. Kieslowski is concerned with the ability to love and the possibility of love.

    Red is fraternity. The heroine who insisted on the goodness of human nature melted the cold heart at the turn of the year, so the old man sent the young version of himself to the heroine, so that the two who walked left and right met. There are fantasy colors in reality, quite a wonderful fable, and the last easter egg is the best ending of the trilogy, but did the hairy dog ​​that was almost lost die? And, Irene Jacob really lined red.
