      English title Something In the Air source

      There is this passage in the communist manifesto:

      All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air , all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

      relationships of all frozen solid, and with them a series of old and...

      More music, less script

      The first movie of the new year:

      After May (Something in the Air), a post-adolescent film. Excellent photography and scene scheduling, the paintings in the movie are very touching. Amazing 70's music, quickly grabbed the movie soundtrack and listened to it. It can be seen that the director has a great sense of beauty and music appreciation.

      The organization in the first half was rather chaotic, with a lot of scenes of the May Revolution, actors blindly chanting slogans, burning...

      Leftist youth who grew up drinking Coke

      The director restored the life picture of a group of young people after the peak of the revolution. They have no scruples in their blood, pursue their dreams, and most of them self-destruct their futures. But the film is not a sad tone, everyone has their own views on their own life, and youth without regrets is just like that. 60s, 70s, this is really the golden age of film and music. In other words, is the protagonist's expression in the conflict with the film team very similar to the...

      Remembering "May Storm"

      After watching: Watching "Storm in May" reminded me of the May torrent that swept across France in 1968; I also remembered "Dream of Paris" directed by Bertolucci with the same historical background as a clue; I remembered the great influence of chairmen Mao and the Chinese Cultural Revolution on the French youth at that time; I remembered the film as a literary style, participated in the ideological movement for the first time, and really became the fuse, initiator and leader of this torrent....

      Revolution or moan? A storm in everyone's heart

      He once read the "Communist Manifesto", once debated the future of capital society, once explored the connection between aesthetic form and ideology, once fascinated by the so-called new language of revolution; once lost in the nothingness of anarchism, and once indulged in Between cannabis and alcohol, I once thought that art could change the world. In the end, we all returned to the system, tamed the seat that power had placed for you, and then told ourselves embarrassingly that this was a...

    Movie plot

    In a high school class in the suburbs of Paris in the early 1970s, the teacher asked the students about the inspiration of Pascal's philosophical thought. However, for a society that has just experienced a great revolution, Pascal, a 17th-century philosopher who devoutly believed in God, seems to have difficulty guiding the contemporary people. A group of radical and rebellious high school students in their class try to carry the...

    Evaluation action

    Not wanting to go the revolutionary cinema route, Something in the Air quietly demystifies its theme. The film is soulful without being overly indulgent; the characters' experiences appear real and natural, rather than grabbing the audience with intoxication and excitement. ( Phoenix Entertainment Review  )
    "Something in the Air" is so flow-conscious in its plot development that some inexplicable clips in the middle take the story...
