一首關於愛與故鄉的挽歌

Abstract

Director Zhang Lv's works have a kind of rare quality of poetic films. In terms of poetry and appeal, the film “The Long Confession” demonstrates the creative characteristics of an Asian director who uses film as a lyric poem. Important cultural images such as willows, plum blossoms, and rivers were selected andblended into the film, adding a poetic realm based on oriental connotations to the film language. As a result, the polysemous characteristics of the words themselves, time and space are transferred between memory and reality, becoming a projection of the inner world of the characters in the play. Chinese, Japanese, English and Korean, these four languagesappear in the film. These languages are intertwined and used as metaphors of identification to outline a picture of mutual recognition and understanding between the main characters. The blurring of hometown and parents brings a literary theme of separation to this film. The director built a common context withmany East Asian literary images, aims at creating a very special psychology space, which shows that it seems hometown lies everywhere, but also you will figure out that it is really difficult to confirm where is your hometown. In the exploration on poetic style, Director Zhang Lv used an individual narrative technique that abstracted away the macro perspective to create a dreamland about love and life, about hometown and separation.
