      repression, courage

      After reading la tourneuse de pages 1 hour ago, at the end, I realized that Mélanie is taking revenge. Maybe that's what's special about the movie, Mélanie's revenge, in hindsight, it's actually been there from the beginning, she put on the piano cover of another girl who was practicing the piano, her face was expressionless, she came out of the exam room with a Tears, but we can't see the sadness. At that time, we didn't realize the hatred in the girl's heart, but just felt that it was very...

      French Revenge

      I watched this film without knowing the slightest bit of the plot. As the plot unfolded delicately and slowly, the director brought the ignorant me into the revenge plan set up by the heroine Déborah François.
      Forgive me for my lack of fire, I thought it was a gay-themed film until the ending was revealed, and the subtlety and restraint of France has been portrayed to the point where it can no longer be added. A small person's admiration and love for the pianist is rendered humble and...

      The fusion of music and film is meticulous and skillful, and it is memorable after watching it

      "La Tourneuse de Pages", a wonderful French suspense film, with simple characters and fascinating stories, Denis Dercourt, a violinist and a filmmaker, has meticulously combined music and film, which is memorable after watching.

      I have to reveal the plot here, otherwise it will be hard to say what I feel after the movie. The protagonist of the story "the person who turned the piano score" is Melanie Prouvost, a girl who likes piano since she was a child. When I was a child, I was a...

      evil spirit

        Melanie's mother said that she can do whatever she wants, which shows that she has been a strong-willed person since she was a child. When she shattered her dream of music and walked out of the examination room in tears, she was filled with anger and resentment. Since it is said in the Bible that sins come in life, so everyone has a little evil spirit dormant in their hearts, so let's forgive Melanie's bad intentions this time. It's just that she is still like this, so what will happen...

      When hatred becomes a seed

      From the very beginning of the film, she was unconsciously wary of Melanie. Her eyes were clear but bottomless, and her hair was golden and soft but unsteady. It kept me guessing what she was trying to do behind her shy smile.


      After all, it is a French movie, the rhythm is slow but not depressing, and the suspenseful sunshine is bright. Consecutive moments of horror, the little girl when she failed the exam, with two lines of fast-drying tears on her face, suddenly closed the...

      Such a gloomy little girl, obviously because her heart is easily shaken, and her performance is substandard, and she is not selected; as a result, she has been preparing for so many years to revenge her...

      …Who do you blame for your poor psychological quality, bro. . . I especially liked the way she wanted to kiss her lips but kissed the corner of her mouth at the last moment. The warmth at that moment made me mistakenly think she would let her...

      It's another movie with the theme of "jealousy". The heroine runs through the whole movie with stern eyes. Her temperament seems familiar, maybe I have seen the same eyes in "Piano...
