Commentary:
During this journey of pursuit, Gao Chun saw the changes in the Yangtze River, or rather the changes in modern China’s industrialization . When he faced the towering gates of the Three Gorges Dam and was surrounded by huge metal noise, tears shed from the corners of his eyes. Although there is only one shot, it concentrates all the complex emotions.
On the one hand, I hate the Three Gorges Dam that changed the Yangtze River; on the other hand, I am shocked by its magnificence and majesty. That kind of contradictory psychology, that kind of helplessness deep in the heart, only poetry can express it, but in this paragraph, poetry is absent. At this level, the director used Gao Chun's journey of pursuit to explore or raise a series of issues about religion, fatherhood, love, women, etc.
But the most important thing I want to express is the complex emotions of disgust, helplessness, admiration and attachment that people have for change in this torrent of industrialization. Just like the literary youth of the 1980s and 1990s, contemporary people are also facing similar difficulties and confusion. How to view history and reality is the most profound thought left to us by "Yangtze River Map".
