This film is similar to "The Last Samurai", both of which highlight the fierce collision of Eastern and Western cultures in the war years. After the interweaving, there is mutual recognition, respect and love, so there will also be feelings between the winner and the prisoners of war. . The final "victory is also heavy" at the end of the film pierced the tears... The film's unique perspective enables the audience to feel and understand the bizarre, abnormal but precious tragic and solemn feelings.
[Second brush:]
Because of the death of Master Bao, I specially revisited this movie. After the second brush, I looked at the comments from two years ago, and I couldn't agree with it completely. It was too "straight man cancer"... Especially using "bizarre perverted but precious tragic feelings" to explain same-sex love, "Precious" and "tragic" are fine, but the words "weird" and "perverted" are not acceptable to me.
Yonoi fell in love with Jack at first sight. Maybe he didn't understand this feeling, and he couldn't face it directly. Although he rationally abstained from sex, his sensibility could not be suppressed. Fascinated by the mind", even the subordinates can see it. The scene of kissing on the cheeks is an eternal classic. Shiye's expression when he was kissed, his knife drawn and fainting after being kissed, all just showed the collapse of his psychological defense line, as well as joy (the most important emotion). Don't forget), shock, despair (Jack died like this, he can no longer protect him), several extremely contradictory feelings are intertwined and entangled. At this moment, the audience is almost suffocated, how can Shiye hold himself?
The character of Jack itself is full of charm. He is maverick, loyal and elegant in the prisoner of war camp. Coupled with the strange-colored eyes of Lord Bao, the character adds a sense of chicness and charm. In the first swipe, I felt that Jack was using and teasing Shiye's feelings, but in the second swipe, I found that Jack "presented flowers" to Shiye, and when he tried to escape, he did not forget to put on the blanket given by Shiye, and the kiss on the cheek, etc. "Death" behavior, if it is explained by teasing, I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen lifeless people.
The friendship between Lawrence and Ohara (let's put it this way) is also very sadistic. As enemies, and as representatives of Eastern and Western cultures, they began to recognize, respect and love each other after they got to know each other. Ohara gave Lawrence the best gift for Christmas---life. Although he said he was Santa Claus "shamelessly", it made people feel respectful. However, after the war, the identities of the two were reversed, and Lawrence was indeed unable to repay Ohara's life-saving grace, and could not play the role of Ohara's Santa Claus. Such shortcomings and helplessness elevate the story. I can't believe it turned out to be a true story...
I give you the devil Blanket, you kiss back. [Sino & Jack]
I give you a Christmas gift---life, and you repay it with a novel---eternal inheritance and memorial. [Lawrence & Ohara]
The original name is "The Seed and the Sower". In my opinion, the seed is the recognition and fusion of cultures, the great love of the world, peace and hope; and the sower is for the former The person who pays, the price is as large as life, as small as greetings, no matter how big or small, I believe that as long as the sower goes forward one after another, the seeds will one day take root and germinate.
