      Rebirth

      I remember that I was going to take an exam the next day, and my grandfather yelled to go to bed, but unfortunately I didn't finish watching this film. Later, I did not forget to ask if this film was sold every time I searched for discs, but I didn’t buy it~~
        However, two of the scenes are still vivid, touching the heartstrings: Mein tried on slippers at the old professor’s house but he wore everything. Not used to it; the old professor tried to find some excitement for his own life, and...

      Deep movie

      I watched it intermittently on CCTV-6. I was first attracted by the lines and then by Johnny Haretti. Unexpectedly, Jean Rochefort mentioned Schumann again.
         I remember that when I met this movie that night, I didn't watch it because of the public's aesthetic orientation. I was going to watch it again the next day, but I passed it by mistake, and picked up a few pieces, anyway, it was incomplete and a little frustrated.
         It is these fragmentary pieces that I can't help chewing....

      Meeting of two men

      A French movie "Man On the Train" I watched a long time ago was translated into "The Strange Man", a fable. As a cold-faced killer, the middle-aged man is tired of blood and wandering and fantasizes about a peaceful life; the old man, as a French teacher, feels bored to the unchanging country life and longs for excitement. Two seemingly never intersecting parallel lines met in the last three days of life.

      The long shots like line drawing, the plain character dialogue, and the...

      Inspiration and reverie

      Although the ending is a bit bleak, it can still be regarded as a warm movie. The story of two men, an old man and an older man.
      Le Conte's films are not so open, and the emotions of the characters are also expressed bit by bit, but they can always grasp the soft part of the person's heart.
      The lens is also known for its delicateness, and it often changes in the delicate expressions of the characters. Pave the way for the next shot. And there is a magical temperament that is divorced...

      The French version of the story of "Besieged City" envy each other's life, but they still have to walk their own lives without hesitation. The ending is so sad.
