Plot introduction

According to the growth experience of the little girl Mei, the film tells the story of her life in two family environments. Because her father died three years ago, the little girl Mei died at the age of 10, and was sent by her neighbors to a large family in Saigon as a maid. The life of this family is not happy. The man is a musician and is often away from home. The hostess mourned for her dead daughter all day, because Mei looked like her dead daughter, so she was deeply loved by the hostess. Soon the man got into a lawsuit, so he hid outside to avoid the lawsuit and never heard from him again. The woman's three sons do nothing all day, only killing time with Mei. But in contact, they gradually discovered the uniqueness of Mei, and the gentle and kind Mei brought life to this family. Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Mei grew up, but the hostess was old. She realized that May was getting married. She had hoped that her second son Lan would marry Mei, but her son left. She gave Mei the dowry for Tao and wanted to marry Mei to her husband. May was sent as a servant. Mr Ren Hao is a young pianist, but her fiancee is a very proud person. Mei Tiansheng's simplicity attracted the pianist, and finally the young pianist broke off his engagement and chose Mei.

[Edit this paragraph] behind-the-scenes production

Director Chen Yingxiong is known as "Abbas of Iranian film industry and Hou Xiaoxian of China Taiwan Province film industry". He moved to France to study film since he was a child and was deeply influenced by European films. His short films Nanxiong's Wife and Wang Fuzhi have attracted the attention of the film industry, among which Wang Fuzhi won the jury award of Lille International Film Festival from 65438 to 0992. The film was all funded by France and was shot in a studio in France. The photos are exquisite, and the perfect combination of lighting, photography, music and sound effects is impressive. Mei in the film has a happy smile no matter what kind of environment. She never complains about life. What we see is always a calm and calm oriental woman. Chen Yingxiong gave this story a strong Vietnamese color with his unique artistic sensibility. At the end of the film, Mei's face becomes a Buddha, suggesting that a peaceful mind will bring happiness and reflect the unique charm of the East. This film won the Golden Camera Award for Best Debut at Cannes Film Festival, the Cesar Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the American Award for Best Foreign Language Film. From then on, director Chen Yingxiong became famous.

Related film reviews

This is Chen Yingxiong's fictional South Vietnam, Saigon in A.D. 1950. Maybe this first novel is mixed with too many good memories. From the hazy asking for directions to the end of the Buddha statue, this is obviously a deliberate arrangement of Chen Yingxiong's philosophy of life.

It was the day when May secretly put on lipstick for herself. The young master discovered her beauty. Cut green papaya is a gourd ladle full of golden melon seeds, shining like pearls! The beautiful story begins and the drama ends.

The VCD I bought has such an introduction, and I know I will be tempted by her again.

One day from dawn, I saw ten-year-old she was busy peacefully until sunny noon.

In the midday sun, green leaves are waiting for the rainy season, cicadas are singing harmoniously, jumping frogs are enjoying the leisurely taste, hardworking ants are suffering, papaya juice is flowing strongly, and all the pictures are filled with the graceful breath of long-lost oriental women. What moved me most was her self-examination. When she gathered the mirror and dressed, it was definitely a classic play. My heart is no longer indifferent, and the touch from the tropics is slowly flowing in my life.

Women are the soul of movies, and they hold up almost the whole sky. Their waists pass through the quiet courtyard, and their wide-leg pants flutter in our field of vision. Those scattered hair, sweat oozing from brown skin, relaxed conversation and skillful hands in cooking food quietly experience the mystery of life from daily life and nature.

Men are helpless or escapist in movies. Both young masters are people waiting for life, either escaping from reality or waiting for life. Yueqin whimpers and bamboo flute is melodious, but it still can't bring intoxicating emotions. Enjoy your soul in art, basically, at all times and in all countries. Extreme as "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" and peaceful as Tao Yuanming, they are spiritual aristocrats in troubled times. Whether they live in harmony with the people around them while perfecting their artistic personality depends on fate.

Finally, one left for the fourth time, and he finally didn't come back. On the night of martial law, he left under an excuse, and he was still waiting for him. Wait, ten years later, I finally found beauty. That sultry night, he pushed open the bamboo door and she was still waiting for him. And that persistent old lover, who only feels like a bystander of feelings.

The moonlight is like water tonight, and it is said to be the brightest moon. I can see that the bright moon after a thunderstorm gives off an aggressive brilliance, but I can only look at the food and watch the moon write moving, that's all.

In my eyes, Chen Yingxiong is undoubtedly a poet, a poet who expresses his feelings in film language. Chen Yingxiong's lens is still and calm, and vivid people and events show his poetic meditation. I noticed that there were only three shots in this film, and the main characters and pictures were out of sync, but poetry followed. The details of Chen Yingxiong's life reveal that he still has a childlike innocence, as well as cicadas, ants, frogs, green leaves, flowers, water drops, green papaya, fruit juice and so on. There are rich close-ups; Also, the little interests of the two boys and girls are full of life, and the children's facial expressions and body language are very realistic. I want to trust Chen Yingxiong's sympathy.

Introduction to the film:

1929, Vietnam is a colony of France, so there are many French people on the land of Vietnam. Jane march is a 15-year-old French girl, studying in Saigon girls' boarding school. It is easy to go home every holiday. My mother runs a primary school with little income. Jane has two brothers. My brother Bill is addicted to drugs and bullying. Second brother Paul is weak and often bullied by his brother. One day, Jane said goodbye to her mother as usual and took the ferry back to school. On the boat, she meets Tony (Tony Leung Ka Fai), a rich boy driving a black car. Tony is the only son of a wealthy overseas Chinese. Tony liked this white girl and talked to her, so they hooked up. Jane knew that some girls were engaged in prostitution in boarding schools, and she also wanted to find a rich man to try, so she took the initiative to talk to Tony. After landing, they visited Saigon and went to a restaurant to eat Chinese food together. Tony drove her back to school. Just after school the next day, the black car was waiting at the school gate.

Jane and Tony soon fell in love. Tony took Jane to his mansion, which is a place where rich people in China often come to the Golden House to hide their charming. They meet, make love, bathe and play here. Sometimes when she doesn't go back to school at night, the school has to inform her mother that Jane asks Tony for money for her mother. Her mother needs money very much. She needs money to make a living and pay bill's debt to the Opium Museum. Mother told the school to release Jane. When Bill knew about his sister, he threatened to kill them. Tony invited Jane's family to eat in a luxury restaurant and dance in a ballroom after dinner. But when Bill saw Tony dancing with Jane, he immediately showed a fierce face, threatened Tony to fight, and was persuaded by his mother. Later, Bill was sent back to France.

Tony loves Jane very much, although Jane often says that she doesn't love China people. Tony asked his father to marry Jane, but his father refused. He asked him to marry a suitable Chinese wife, or he would kick Tony out of the house.

Tony finally married the woman he didn't love, and his heart was dying. Jane and her mother are going back to France, and they will go to a mansion before they leave, and the feeling of desolation comes to mind. She no longer rightfully thinks that she doesn't love China's lover. I'm afraid it's an unforgettable truth in her life.

She gave her innocence, her passion, her body. The only thing she can't give is her love.

Behind the scenes production

Adapted from the autobiographical novel of French woman writer marguerite duras, Hong Kong star Tony Leung Ka Fai and teenage star Jane March caused a sensation in the film. The plot of the whole movie is not divorced from the cliche of romance, but its nostalgic and romantic artistic conception and beautiful picture are still worthy of appreciation, and the erotic scene between men and women also presents a fiery teasing feeling. Critics believe that the leading role is not as good as the supporting role, the film is slow in pace, emotionally alienated and lacks exciting buttons. Duras held a negative attitude towards the film after it was released.

[Highlights]

This film is based on the autobiographical novel of French writer marguerite duras. When she was young, she met a Vietnamese colonial China man in real life and had a love affair.

Duras's true lover in China, surnamed Li.

I am getting old. One day, in the lobby of a public place, a man came up to me. He introduced himself and said to me: I know you and I will always remember you. At that time, you were very young and everyone said you were beautiful. Now, let me tell you, for me, I think you are more beautiful than when you were young. I love your withered face more than your former beauty.
