      Pure Love

      I kind of misunderstood the film. It's not mainly about the contradiction between reality and ideal. It's about love, Pure love. The love the man has towards a woman from a different world. Maybe the love is selfish and morally wrong, but that's not what the director trying to tell or concerned. There are not right things or wrong things to do in the field of Pure love. Typical French film about love ,extremely romantic as well as extremely crazy.
      I'd like to compare the film with " love...

      new bridge lovers

      The third part of Karax's love trilogy is also a work that has gradually formed its own style from imitating the new wave. It has a high degree of completion. It not only expounds the concept of love, but also expresses the expression of love, and controls the rhythm. , The processing of the scenes and shots is also very impressive, such as the fireworks dance on the new bridge, the performances such as the male protagonist's juggling test, the silhouette of streaking on the beach, the female...

      The end of madness is desolation

      After thinking hard for nearly two weeks, I finally watched the famous post-new wave masterpiece "Lovers in the New Bridge", the most expensive literary and artistic work in French history. There is a reason for saying that I hesitated about this film. I have always been unaccustomed to the personal style of trivial literature and art that is unique to most French films. But "Lovers in New Bridge" surprised me a bit, and I was a little tangled. I always felt that it was impossible to simply...

      He has a pure heart

      This man is different and I love the character.
      A person who is not good at words. A person who looks indifferent. Mental pain can only be expressed through physical masochism, because that pain goes far beyond physical perception. He has a clean and pure heart. What exists is not necessarily what he needs, perhaps the illusion of life. He understood everything but said nothing. He doesn't look up at people, he has a closed ego world. He just needs her.
      Infatuation always fascinates...

      life is a dance

      A movie I've been thinking about for a long time. I forgot what Master said back then, but there must be nothing I felt in it, or I would definitely remember it.

      What shocked me the most was not love, but life. The new bridge that belongs to the night is home to three homeless people with completely different backgrounds. Two very different beings danced together far away from the world. The other, on the sidelines, joins, disappears. Those tremors and unease from life all stem from...

      Only the French can shoot such twists and turns, so romantic. Two people from different worlds just met like this. The poppies blooming in the dark can never meet the sun. Even if Michell chooses to abandon everything in the end, he may escape back to Paris the next day. Alex would rather be a guide dog, but M will never understand. No matter how beautiful this woman is, go away. ....

      It turns out that I have seen several Juliette Binoche films, which are a bit "Bad Boy", and some silent male protagonists. In order to love a woman, he does not hesitate to use some selfish ways to keep her. Both are almost cruel, but love recklessly. Not the way I like it, so seeing it in a movie is enough. Many of the scenes are very beautiful, the close-up of the shaking camera and the deformation are interesting and the discussion is quite lively, everyone will make persistent efforts!...

      Fireworks, waves, beaches, tobacco and alcohol, ships, dances, flames, heavy snow, running, drowning, distant places... all the real magic is blended here, which is the best presentation of the charm of the...

      The soundtrack and camera are very good, I like the fireworks part the most. The person who appears in the dream should go to see him when he wakes up. Life is that...
