Evaluation:

"Hawthorn Tree Love" gave the audience a delicate and meaningful medicine in the era of commercial films flooding. Its spiritual connotation is embodied in two aspects: one is to face the truth of life and death, and the other is human nature in the political context. First of all, the ending of the movie is actually not the common so-called "happy ending". Although the hero and heroine of the story have experienced a lot, they are separated from each other forever.

Jingqiu's desperation after learning of her third child's illness is their true feelings in the face of life and death. Even if heaven and man are separated forever, there will always be such a person in Jingqiu's heart. Secondly, the time background of the film is the Cultural Revolution. In such a big political context, the film has repeatedly reflected the brilliance of human nature through the deconstruction of the political context.

Captain Zhang's family is located in Xiping Village, but the not-so-rich family has sent assistance to Jingqiu many times, and the simple second child sent rock sugar walnuts to Jingqiu's sick mother, all of which reflected the best human nature. This is also the spiritual connotation that this film wants to convey to people.
