“Three Colors: Red” “Benevolence” goes beyond “belief.” “Fate and Love” concludes the “Tricolor Trilogy”

Hope entrusted to the further theme of “belief”

Valentine, a woman who is lost in love, and Joseph, a man who has lost sight of love. In other words, Valentine is a woman who has distrust in love, and Joseph is a man who does not believe in love. The line of fate between the two of them breaks free from the confusion and quickly becomes one line due to the common denominator of ``distrust of love.'' As mentioned earlier, the encounter between the two was inevitable. This is how the story of ``fate'' and ``love'' begins, following ``Blue Love'' and ``White Love,'' but a new theme emerges. Both of them have problems with "belief". Believing in love, believing in others - I think this is something that we should focus on as one of the themes of this work.

There are some impressive lines. ``Humans are more tolerant.'' These are the words Valentine speaks to Joseph, who has completely lost faith in humanity and closed off his heart. But is that really the case? In the real society we live in, it is difficult to assert that humans are tolerant. It is a well-known fact that expectations, anxiety, and jealousy directed from one person to another are not always positive. However, in the context of this work, Valentine's words are probably ``I want to believe'' that humans are tolerant. It's true that we don't know what others are doing behind the scenes. However, he said, ``I want to believe it.''

"Tricolor Trilogy" preview

I believe that beyond ``belief,'' there is ``benevolence.'' Paradoxically speaking, the first step in the attitude of ``philanthropy = ``innocent love that encompasses everything'' is to ``believe.'' The final work of the Tricolor Trilogy, which depicts ``fate'' and ``love,'' preaches the importance of ``belief,'' which is extremely hopeful. Director Krzysztof Kieślowski passed away, leaving this hope behind.

``Blue Love'', ``White Love'', and this work ``Red Love'' - for the audience who believed in the ``fate'' and ``love'' seen in these ``Tricolor Trilogy'', the three works ``conclude''. A dramatic climax awaits. What we see there should be the ultimate "innocent love that embraces everything."
