    The pros and cons/editing/focusing at the first tryst can be learned over and over again. Wow; the opening scene is too clever. The two sunflowers can never be in the same frame to insinuate the whole theme - the man (the so-called "Sun") swings and wants the best of both worlds But it's not possible (first, the sunflowers are cut in different frames, and then the dance scene always uses a tree trunk to separate the two women, suggesting that this cannot coexist\The only scene where the mother...

    The previous description of family details is very bland, but it always makes people feel that something is wrong. Tones, quick cuts, little ambiguity, finally the wife's accident, the man and the mistress continue to be happy, and the mood of the movie continues without interruption. This is the great...

    From a cold point of view, varda describes the ambivalence of a husband who loves two women at the same time, as well as the delicate and complex feelings of women. Under the beautiful and quiet scene, there are dark tides and turbulent crises hidden, and he also does something to human nature and love. The deepest temptation. In the film, Mozart's music and the changes of seasons show the psychological changes of the people in the play, and also reveal a touch of...

    The death of the wife is not a moral punishment for the husband, but it is really impossible to imagine a happy scene where a man can have a perfect family and a perfect lover at the same time, so the film is essentially...

    1. This is the French version of "Red Rose and White Rose". I love everyone here, so I hope the three of them can live happily. In my opinion, love is never selfishness, not possession, love is sharing, it is to make each other happy; 2. If there is no coffee, give me a kiss, the French are really romantic to the core; 3. The tone of the movie is beautiful Great, it feels very special to transition with the change of...

    Although the real tragedy is just around the corner, a woman commits suicide because of her husband's transference, but no one in the film is disturbed by it. Still a happy family. "Happiness" is a blatant satire of love....

    The big heart of a man and the careful thought of a woman, suicide or accident really left a foreshadowing, but those are no longer important. When Varda was young, she used beautiful colors and pictures to film the beginning and ending of happiness viciously. Views on beloved husband Demi's affair. The editing of several shots, the transition of the color card and the use of music are very interesting. In the same year, Berlin narrowly lost to Godard's Alpha City and tied for the Silver Bear...

    A woman's death is like the wind last night. The first day may be terrible, but in less than a week, everything seems to have never happened. Change into an affair as a new wife, the children are not rejected at all, the husband is content, and the new family is happy. A life is gone, how much weight does it have? The author uses extremely small and fresh beauty from beginning to end, and that kind of beauty, at the end, is the most powerless and powerful irony related to...

    Varda told a story of Duan Zhengchun in France. One-to-two love is too difficult to operate, because there is always one person who ranks third in the relationship of three people. happiness is lost. You want to give everyone equal love and enjoy the joy of happiness, but the acceptable ones feel different, Dali Duan Er is not good, and French Duan Er is not good...

    Varda's masterpiece of formalism uses color to express meaning very boldly. There are many ideas in editing, such as the super-short cut-off when the protagonist visits his lover for the first time, as well as the common flash-forward scenes expressing imagination or speculation. The best thing is that a tragedy is expressed in such a lukewarm way: there is no contradiction in the first 12 minutes, and the end is calm. The conversation about the apple tree became a generation...
