What plots in Hou Hsiao-hsien's film "Love in the Wind" impressed you the most?

Night Beer

Script: Ah Xiong is going to join the army. He will go back to Houdong tomorrow. Everyone made an appointment to have a drink and dinner here. Some people have money or belongings and ask Ah Xiong to bring them. go home. After drinking the wine, my ears are hot, and I have sighs, complaints, and heroic words. Their family is engaged in mining, and the only way out for the next generation is to catch a train at Houtong Station and come to Taipei to work. In a big city with fierce competition, a group of them naturally gather together and help each other.

Only Ayun is a girl. She sits quietly next to Ayuan, making people often forget her existence. When they think of her, she is sitting there again, like Ayuan's wife.

Video: This section of the film is a complete reversal of the script. Ah Xiong smiled and asked Ayun to drink: "Ayun, I respect you." Ayun hesitated. Ah Xiong: "Drink a little, I'm going to be a soldier!" In the camera, next to the cheerful Ah Xiong, A Yuan's face was red from drinking, and he looked at A Yun with big eyes. Ayun smiled, eager to try, but looked at Ayuan. Ah Xiong said nonchalantly: "Don't look at this person, don't look at him. The one who wants to be a soldier is the biggest!" Ah Yun picked up the cup and drank it slowly. She drank the entire glass of beer, a look of happiness on her face. It’s the kind of overall happiness that comes from the inside out. This kind of light seemed to never appear when she was with Ayuan. The script states, "Only Ayun is a girl. She sits quietly next to Ayuan, making people often forget her existence." In this section of the film, the person with the least sense of existence becomes the most important person in existence. Field focus. It turns out that she was not born to be a vassal. Next to A Yuan, she always lowered her head and looked at her toes. She always fails. This won't work, and that won't work either. It turned out that on both sides of Ayuan's big eyes, with a red face and red eyes that stared at him, were several pairs of eyes that looked at her with light shining from inside. Others look at me level-headedly. Even looking up a little. And you are always looking down.

Painting clothes

Script: Hengchun’s painting came to an end. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be talking endlessly, they said that the shirt Ayun was wearing was too plain. It must be nice for him to put two strokes on it. Unexpectedly, Ayun took off his shirt from his head and gave it to him to draw.

Both boys were dumbfounded. Ayun was wearing a vest-style underwear, and his thin and fair body could only be thought of as Si Wuxie. They were deeply moved by Ayun's simplicity, completely unguarded youthful wantonness, yet so pure. They themselves are young boys.

Video: Ayun and Ayuan in the movie, no, Ayuan and Ayun, have never, never, "seemed like they could never finish talking." When the two of them are together, it seems that Ayuan is always silent, and Ayun is even more silent. There is a section in the script where A-Yun burns his hand with oil. In the film, because A-Yun's workplace was changed from a restaurant to a tailor shop, it is treated as if A-Yun burned his hand with an iron. The script says, "A Yuan is heartbroken, but A Yun just smiles stupidly." In the film, the scene with A Xiong going to join the army and A Yun actually drinking are moved together, one after another, and A Yuan is... Blame: "Applying medicine yourself? Are you going to let your hands rot!" (Ayun said that seeing a doctor in Taipei is too expensive, so she can just buy some medicine and apply it on her own.) Ayuan continued, using the topic as a reproach to settle accounts after the fall: "Girls also Drinking with others!" Staring at A-Yun's forehead with big eyes - because A-Yun must have lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head to listen to the admonishment as usual, and it wasn't just his forehead that was looking at A-Yuan...

——It is precisely because the film cleverly connects the application of medicine with A Yuan's blaming A Yun for drinking that the beauty of Hengchun's painting becomes even more apparent. The script states that Hengchun is almost a light bulb, and an out-of-time light bulb. He interferes with the two of them and "seems like he can't finish talking." He says, "The shirt A-Yun is wearing is too plain. It would be nice if he could draw two strokes on it." In the video, Hengchun turned around and saw that the atmosphere between the two people sitting across the table was not right, and he quickly came over to smooth things over. The whole situation was smooth and there was no trace of it - Hengchun came over, looked at Ayuan, then looked at Ayun, and said to Ayun : "What do you think of my painting?" said the front of the vest on his body, "I painted it myself!" Then he said that this thing you are wearing is too plain, and I will help you draw a peacock.

In fact, it can be seen from the drinking scene above that A-yun has a lively character hidden deep in her heart by A-yuan. When people ask her to drink, she just drinks when she is happy (it is not necessarily a girl's vanity in the first place) , she is so happy when she hears people applaud her. She has a smooth heart~). Here, facing Hengchunzai, who has the same lively and joyful personality, she curved her lips in a very innocent and cute smile, stood up, and said, "Okay, I'll draw it for you." Hengchunzai said, "You have to take it off before I can draw it. "Ayun immediately unbuttoned and took it off! There are only obscene clothes inside! She threw it to Hengchunzi and said, "Draw it for you!" She said with a slight hint of coquettishness. Not only was Hengchunzi slightly unnatural, Ayuan was also dumbfounded. Ayun's behavior does not show the shamelessness of a frivolous and slutty woman. In fact, she is just a simple nature, full of natural interest, and naturally takes off her shirt, just like the most beautiful scene in "The Dancing Girl of Izu", without any understanding of shame and obscenity , an innocent and simple little dancer stood up from the hot spring pool, opened her arms and waved not far away, "Uncle, uncle!" The uncle and her brother looked over - an angelic girl, naked in front of them. This paragraph in the film retains the phrase "the two boys were stupid" in the script. Ayun was wearing a vest-style underwear, and his thin and white body could only be thought of as innocent. They were completely defenseless for Ayun's simplicity. The artistic conception of "youthful wantonness, yet so pure and deeply moved" adds a layer of Ayun's subconscious that I think can be understood as: I no longer want to be the one who obeys your orders. Ayun. Under A Yuan's coercive gaze, he actually drank with others, and under A Yuan's equally coercive gaze, he even took off his shirt in front of others. It was consistent and the same idea.
