The characters in the movies played by Monica Anna Maria Bellucci (Monica Bellucci) always seldom laugh. Like in " Malèna ", " Irréversible ", and " Boom 2000", they have a bitter bitter look. But she is indeed more charming when she laughs. It is not like the usual coldness, with deep furrowing brows, but bright and innocent, undefended, just like the Lisa in "The Apartment" (L' Appartement). It's like a moment when you are in love with Max (Vincent Cassel). The video was so "excellent" in showing people passing by: She was in the phone booth and he walked by outside; when he went to a travel agency to change a plane ticket, he took a taxi, and the light rail she took was not far away; He stooped to pick up the key, and she happened to rush to the taxi behind him.The lover who was close at hand missed again and again. All kinds of accidents and misses accumulate and ferment in the hearts of the audience, making the original love story of ordinary love. It became unaffordable. It is also full of sadness, and for a long time.
"The Apartment" is the film debut of French director Gil Mimney. The clues of the story are actually not complicated, but the intricately winding narrative makes the whole movie full of suspense, and love is also shrouded in a strange fog.
The story begins with the protagonist Max choosing a wedding ring. Max accidentally discovered that it was his girlfriend Lisa who had flashed past the phone booth two years ago, and she had already walked away in a daze. The deep love of the past was instantly lit up, and he followed all kinds of clues to find Lisa, but originally he was going to Japan for four days for business negotiations. The movie is intertwined with the change of reality and memory. Seeing Max is getting closer and closer to Lisa, but in Lisa’s house, McCas is not waiting for Lisa, but another woman who calls herself Lisa Alice (Romane Bohringer). Perhaps the real story just kicked off. It was through Iris ' memories that we learned that the misunderstanding between McCas and Lisa two years ago was actually made by Iris. Iris is a junior at Lisa Theatre School, and a friend and admirer of Lisa. Two years ago, she spied on Lisa's love, and her jealousy grew. At the same time, her love for Lisa's boyfriend McCas also grew. Two years ago, she broke up Lisa and McCas. Now, she uses Lisa's trust in herself to still prevent the two from meeting in every possible way, but allows herself to get closer with McCas step by step.
Love is such a domineering thing. Those looping stairs, the waiting of the snow, the crimson high heels, the warm and graceful dance, and the white pigeons that took off all remember the sweetness of their mutual affection, but Lisa and McCas, they could not find it by themselves. Each other. The misunderstanding is no longer important, the important thing is that the two meet again. Lisa finally made a date with Max, but where is the overwhelming hand that made the upcoming fulfillment fragmented. In the restaurant, Max saw through Iris's trick to impersonate Lisa, but Iris confided to Max his last resort: "Then she is hypocritical? You are also hypocritical. Maybe she has loved you for a long time, maybe she has been looking for You, maybe this is just her clumsy way to find you! When you love someone, you don’t realize the harm you do to others."
Max read the diary written by Alice, and was finally moved by Alice's true love. Max ignored the date with Lisa and went to find the "fake Lisa" who was about to set sail. But when he turned around, he found that the waiting hall had been waiting for his fiancée for a long time. This was the fourth day, when he was supposed to return from a business trip. Max returned to his fiancée and hugged him tightly. The place where his eyes drifted was behind the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Iris smiled sadly. The film came to an abrupt end.
The second half of the movie focuses on the complex psychological changes that Iris is crazy about love, selfish, cruel, and exhausted, but the result is only to win a deeper cry. Everyone seems innocent, everyone is hurt, who hurts whom. All sorts of accidents, passing by, who believed that it was only Iris's fault. At the end of the film, I felt so uncomfortable in my heart, for Iris, who was deeply in trouble, and for too many unbearable misses. Life is already so imperfect, why should the director add another stroke? A friend said to me, I hope there is no such thing in our lives, but if such a story happens and no one knows it, isn’t it a more uncomfortable thing? Thanks to this thing you know, you feel uncomfortable for it, and it is worthy of comfort.
Maybe, the pain, the miss, are not the most important thing. Cry deeper, and remember a reasonable life after crying. The world is unkind, but you can't make another bloody wound for yourself and others. Thinking of a very impressive text, saying that the famous Guangdong Liang Dingfen dismissed his office due to accident in the late Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwen gave a word of relief and said: "I remember that at the beginning of the curtain, the person leaned on the railing, was just slightly drunk by the wine, and the green leaves were blowing cool autumn and talking to himself. Xiaofeng blew down Hengtang Road. The ci poet looked at the flower with a bitter heart, the powder has no fragrance, and the fruit is wrong. Thirty-six Pifei drizzle, the color of the Ming Dynasty is as hard as ever." At the moment, the powder fell fragrant, the personnel were divorced, the scenes were broken in the bottom of my heart, and the thousands of miles in front of me were unstable. And Liang Dingfen replied with words: "Thank you for being too bitter in the poet's heart. How can you be mistaken by the west wind. Last night, the moon and tonight rain, life is as hard as ever." To prepare for your heart, tell who to pity you? Why don't you complain about the west wind?
You know so many last resorts. Because I understand, I am compassionate. As things were over, Mo Ruo waved his hand to face the calendar days ahead.
