"Lengshan " tells the story of a soldier returning to his hometown for love at the end of the Civil War. A great love story blends with a loneliness and a long journey of desolation.
"Cold Mountain" is set on the basis of local history. Based on the story passed down from the great-grandfather passed down from generation to generation since the author's family, it tells the story of an injured soldier, Inman, who leaves the bloody battlefield, passes through the already incomplete and frustrated southern land, and returns to his pre-war dream lover Aida.
At the same time, Ada is gradually growing up with the help of the brave and tenacious girl Ruby, trying to revive the farm story left by her father. Inman's "Odise" and Ada's efforts are intertwined. The two have long-term isolated lives are about to meet as the war is over, and the two face the major challenges of a fragmented world.
War is the highest level of cruelty for people. Life disappears during war and human nature is destroyed in conflict. Even Inman, who has firm expectations, feels unbearable to look back when he returns to his wife after many hardships. He thinks that Inman had died long ago, and now he is just an empty shell, and his heart has long been torn apart by the monster of war.
The feeling of sadness is the passing of the heart. A once kind and love-hungry boy who has experienced the cruelty of war and faced killing and death all day long. In order to win the war or ensure his survival, can his mentality be free from inner torture? After he returned to his dream hometown, can he forget the bloody scenes and extremely painful faces before his death? He is no longer Inman, and the cruelty of the war lies here, which will not only destroy the dead, but also the still-dwelling people.
Similarly, after separation from Inman, Ada also experienced the tragic changes of a transformation. First, the death of her father and the loneliness of being alone. Second, the daughter-in-law's origin made her have no knowledge of survival. She was often threatened by bullies, and the news of her lover was not heard of. She was carrying these tortures, which was really unbearable for a weak woman. Fortunately, a lower-level helper, Ruibi, came. Although she was both a woman, Ruibi, who was born in the working masses, had a strong ability to survive enough than a man.
Two women depend on each other for their own sake, enduring the hardships of their families and fighting with vicious bullies. After some hardships, the once elegant lady disappeared. Standing in front of him was a brave woman. You really don’t ask, there’s nothing to say...
The overall tone of the film is gray, but the green and vibrant vitality is all green, and the trauma brought by war will eventually be replaced by the continuation of life. Everything has been experienced in the land near Lengshan. Lengshan is heartless and witnesses the occurrence of everything here. People on this land full of blood and fire are strong. Green symbolizes life. Two new dreams sitting under the lush tree are encouragement for the future.
This is a work that makes me feel infinitely emotional. I think a classic blockbuster, a film is not only a big star, strong action, and a billion investment, but has a spirit that can reflect the majestic momentum of an era, reflect the heroic and romantic feelings of typical characters of this era, and also leaves the audience with space for thinking. Through their stories, we can see the light emitted by beautiful things in human nature. It is a warm spiritual light.
