In my opinion, the movie " The Long Confession " tells a love story full of entanglements in a quiet tone. Zhang Luyi , Xin Baiqing , Ni Ni successfully performed an unspeakable emotional dispute between brothers. The
film opens with the unfortunate news that has terminal cancer from Gong Dong, the protagonist, which sets a slightly gloomy and melancholy tone for the whole film. The younger brother asked his elder brother Lichun to accompany him to Yanagawa in Japan, to find a girl named Yanagawa who was his favorite back then. In fact, Lidong can go alone, there is no need to invite his brother, because Lichun does not know the situation of Liuchuan, but Lidong has long been familiar with it. But the complication of the story is that Liu Chuan used to be his brother's girlfriend. Maybe Li Dong didn't know how to face Liu Chuan alone. Maybe he went with Li Chun and could reproduce the scene twenty years ago more completely - touching that hardship again. Mindful secret feelings. This decision also revealed Lidong's personality from the very beginning: introverted and tolerant.
For Lidong, this meeting is not only a deliberate reunion, but also a very solemn farewell. Although the name of the
movie is called "The Long Confession", there has never been a single confession from beginning to end. As an ex-boyfriend, Lichun made a confession shortly after seeing Liuchuan: Do you know? For twenty years, I have been thinking of you almost every day. Such a confession, as Yanagawa himself said, is irresponsible and arbitrary. But she couldn't refuse this kind of randomness, and even relived the old dream of Lichun. As for Lidong, she completely understands the other person's thoughts and feelings, just as she knew twenty years ago that Lidong deeply loves herself. Although she also made explicit and implicit: or you touch again; be (your) bride or bridesmaid and so on. But still can't get the exact response from the other party.
Lichun is like a big mountain, lying between the two of them, making people insurmountable.
For Yanagawa, Li Dong can resolutely change his accent and never speak Beijing dialect, even if he is regarded as a monster by his relatives, he can not marry or make friends with other women for 20 years, and treat her with care. But Yanagawa is his brother's girlfriend after all, even if the two have long since broken up, the inherent ethics and morals have to make him bury this feeling deeply in his heart, and even feel guilty. Lichun, the elder brother, has long understood this affection. So the film arranged such a segment: Li Dong said, brother, please beat me up. After being rejected, Li Dong slapped himself in the face, and Li Chun turned his face away and slapped himself in the same way.
Love is such a wonderful thing, beautifully incapable of oneself, and tortured and haggard. Since
can't accompany him, he can only choose to wait silently, keep this feeling deep in his heart, and protect this beauty, a memory of youth, with mutual understanding.
