      Amour: The People and Things We Dare not Face

      After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a suitable title for this film review, and finally copied the name of the film.

      The first reaction in my mind after watching the entire film was to think of "Doctor Death," starring Al Pacino. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the most normal things in life. I have heard such a sentence: everyone is moving towards death after birth. So death is not scary; what is scary is the mentality of facing death.

      If only it was murder.

      Anne turned her face to the words "I feel so sorry for you" from her dear student's letter. Anne woke up one day, and her wife said politely: Your back is wet. It does not matter. How is Anne? It's hysteria after being ashamed. The nurse came to look after her, turning her over and talking about diapers. What does Anne's expression look like? It is better to live than to die. The nurse helped her take a bath, and she was still crying when she was unable to speak. Did no one see it? ? No,...

      amour

      It made me feel so sad. All men are created equal, and so are they when they die. This film nakedly shows a real end that we have not yet reached: no matter who you are in your life, how rich you are, or how much people around you love you, you can't change the powerlessness and sadness of dying in the last few years, too. Poor. An old lady with elegant and decent hair like silver threads, she was still enjoying the concert leisurely when she appeared on the stage. Gradually, no matter how many...

      After doing evil, feel relieved

      Although human beings have undergone perfect evolution and are far superior to ordinary animals in intelligence, they still have their animal side in essence. This has also evolved into a question that has no standard answer since ancient times: Is human nature inherently good or inherently evil? It can be said that the benevolent sees benevolence and insists on their own words. Director Haneke's answer must be that human nature is evil. Whether it is his last award-winning film "White Ribbon",...

      in the name of love

      How to choose, whether to choose to let him end the pain early, or to stick to it? Many families have experienced this kind of confusion. Relatives who are tortured by illness, watching them lose weight, look pained but helpless, not only bring pain to the family, but also make the patient suffer. There are many diseases that cannot be cured and can only be dragged on for life. It's all torture like this, that's why euthanasia occurs. It's better to get rid of it early than to let him suffer....

      The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you; the cruelest thing I can think of is watching you die...

      To put it simply, it is a social incident in which the husband and wife were overwhelmed after a stroke and paralyzed, and finally smothered her to death with a pillow, but the details are full of love and touching. This is a warm film, but with cold tones and simple and quiet long shots, the director's expression is unusually calm. However, the topic of getting old seems too cruel, loses dignity, and is so depressing that people can't look directly at...

      Very heavy and light. The "casual" attention to the issue of euthanasia, the indoor environment that opens up countless possibilities, and the two-person drama, but in addition, there are memories of the simplicity of cooking and playing the piano together friendship. From life to death, from being together to being alone, my understanding of love is so profound and rich that I can't think of a better movie name than Amour. [Actually, Yu Peier's last scene was particularly...

      With zero exterior scenes (paintings and dreams are another matter), except for the first concert chapter, the camera didn't even go out of the house at all. The best way to age a character is to let the camera lag, a lot of indoor empty mirrors and soft and beautiful light, so that any action of the old man is very solemn. This is an homage to life, and even "love" is under...

      One house, one world. And, more difficult than love is falling in love. Book ahead for your favorite Haneke. I have never been fond of talking about realism, but for a while I felt that this is among the highest realism. Record a post-viewing state that seems to be irrelevant to this judgment, but is actually closely related: I haven't searched for "soundtrack", and I know that the pleasure of listening to the soundtrack immediately after watching a piece of heart water is completely...

    Movie quotes

    • Anne: You are a monster sometimes.

    • Anne: What would you say if no one came to your funeral?

      Georges: Nothing, presumably.

    • Georges: [telling a childhood memory] ... some banal romance or other about a nobleman and a lower middle-class girl who couldn't have each other and who then, out of sheer magnanimity, decide to renounce their love - in fact, I don't quite remember it any more. In any case, afterwards I was thoroughly distraught, and it took me a bit of time to calm down. In the courtyard of the house where grandma lived, there was a young guy at the window who asked me where I'd been. He was a couple of years older than me, a braggart who really impressed me. "To the movies," I said, because I was proud that my grandma had given me the money to go all alone to the cinema. "What did you see?" I started to tell him the story of the movie, and as I did, all the emotion came back. I didn't want to cry in front of the boy, but it was impossible; there I was, crying out loud in the courtyard, and I told him the whole drama to the bitter end.

      Anne: So? How did he react?

      Georges: No idea. He probably found it amusing. I don't remember. I don't remember the film either. But I remember the feeling. That I was ashamed of crying, but that telling him the story made all my feelings and tears come back, almost more powerfully than when I was actually watching the film, and that I just couldn't stop.
