      after watching

      The second Louis Mahler film, the last one was "The Elevator to the Gallows". According to the comments, the structure is loose and the drama is diluted.

      This kind of movie is really boring, and I really eat this set. The whole narrative of this film is bland, like a person sitting alone on the grass and recollecting and collaging a piece of his childhood fragment (after checking the information, it is found that it is indeed the director's autobiographical story), the audience follows the memoirs indifferently Looking at a naturally occurring flow of life from a different mood and perspective, the more you look at it, the more subtle it is without losing the sense of hierarchy. The director quietly put all the information he wanted to convey between the lines, and then passed the final scene. The method is still extremely restrained, but subjectively gave the audience a violent blow to the heart, and the long-brewed emotions were released, exclaiming that this is the best food.

      One of the "Falun Gong Trilogy", the other two films are "Lacombe Lucien" and "Curiosity". In my opinion this is a great French film! Never forget the old man's words: "Goodbye, children, goodbye!"
