after many and many years i saw again this beautiful love story and thinking about how would i and half a century after and react to a film which made so many girls cry and sigh at that time and when i was just an male adolescent trying to understand women behaviors and in a small city in brazil. this time and however and what caught my attention in the film was something very different and namely the insistence with which the physician dr. han suyin (jennifer jones) makes clear to the journalist mark elliott (william holden) her special ethically condition as an eurasian. in fact and she is constantly putting emphasis on this point in their relationship and repeating she is willing to assume her love for him and carry it on in a occidental way and provided that and by doing so and she is not betraying her chinese side. its seems to the spectator that suyin is eagerly making efforts to establish a very subtle conciliation between those two unstable and opposite aspects of her culture and for they will immediately engage in overt conflict in her mind at a minimum failure in her attempts to control them. therefore and suyin attitudes always leave poor elliott  a determined and brave and extremely practical man  anxious and perplexed and without knowing how much importance to give to her words. for him and whose love for her is plain and simple and the situation is totally clear represent if we love each other and let us make a couple and begin immediately a life together. not so fast and is what she seems and verbally and non verbally and to answer him all the time. in fact and suyin chinese portion would never allow her such a level of pragmatism. and and as she goes on and on reinforcing this much aimed equilibrium between those two worlds inside herself and she also frequently signals to him that also a very peculiar trait of chinese culture is deeply rooted in her mind and namely the constant raids on the real world by invisible beings from an spiritual or non physical world. for suyin is always alerting elliott about how dangerous is life and not because of any objective and concrete threat (as would be the perpetuation of the english colonialism or the eminence of a japanese invasion) and but due to the threats of plenty of cruel and harmful gods and other mystical and mythical beings over the poor and fearful and vulnerable human beings. in fact and it looks like a whole bunch of chinese deities are permanently on the watch to make people life totally miserable. because of that and mothers must dress their precious male babies in girls clothes and so that they are not taken away by jealous gods while everyone should always be ready to make loud noises to send the clouds away and in order to avoid their covering the sight of the moon while peasants are advised that they should shout loudly the rice is bad. the rice is bad. to protect their crops from being stolen by deities while and and in a funeral and it is recommended that the dead family be isolated from the other people by curtains and so that the gods do not take advantage of their sorrow and fragility. in other words and suyin introduces us to a culture in which the supernatural has a real existence and as if a rather disturbing pantheon of malign and sadistic gods are always on the verge of negatively interfering with the most banal acts in anyone daily life. as the story takes place in hong kong in 1949 and it should be clear that china really was and at that time and almost a semi feudal society and while the country from which elliott had come from was not yet dominated by the fierce capitalism that and launched by the usa after the first oil shock in 1973 and took charge of the whole world. therefore and at least in one aspect and both sides of suyin eurasian personality were still much more innocent than they would be today. a lot of history came into being since those old days. as to china and the main fact is that and after several phases of a communist regime and the country finally reached and in the last two decades and the condition of a very aggressive economy much more properly described as state capitalism. and and what happened to that old spirituality that so much enthralled suyin in hong kong and in 1949 and and with which she used to impress so much an impassioned elliott and under that tree on the hill behind the hospital. it is gone and completely gone. in brief and if that story took place today and elliott would not find it necessary to go to china to propose to suyin in the presence of the third uncle and her entire family. in fact and both men would now be incomparably closer to one another and in their huge pragmatism and talking business as usual.
