      Time is too tired, wealth buys you drunk, and reality is drunk and tired.

      After watching this movie in the Charroble Cafe, this movie does not stimulate my desire to think, nor does it stimulate my thinking about desire, except for constantly comforting myself, people who are engaged in creative work, if they are even basic I don't have any aesthetics, so how can it be?

      The tone of the old movie is very charming, whether it is the costume matching or the background color matching, but the plot is a huge wear and tear on my self-esteem. I thought it was rare...

      Record

      "The Umbrella of Cherbourg" is a classic movie worth pondering. Lenses, music, colors are all carefully designed.

      First of all, the matching of the music is very close to the characters. The sweetness of love in the first act corresponds to the cheerfulness of the music, the separation of the lovers in the second act corresponds to the long sadness of the music, and the music is mixed with a few notes of jumping to express the mother. The idea of ​​​​shows the director's delicate...

      Umbrella can not cover the sadness

      Now, it seems that the plot is a little too plain. The seventeen-year-old girl fell in love, so pure and beautiful, she said sweet love words, and vowed to marry her lover. But again it was the war that broke everything. The boy has to leave. The tune they sang when they parted was heartbreaking.

      The girl insisted on waiting, but in the face of the reality and the seemingly unreachable thoughts, she finally gave in and married a wealthy jeweler. The boy returned, heartbroken, went to...

      Let me indulge in oversaturated colors

      Because of the extensive use of this film as an example in an academic paper to illustrate the point, I hurriedly watched "The Autumn Lady", which is a good example of color cinema and mise-en-scene. This paper is: Johnson, William. "Coming to terms with color." Film Quarterly (1966): 2-22.

      In fact, it is not as exaggerated as Mr. William wrote. Many times, first look at the use of color in this paper in the paper. Art skills are praised and rendered, and then I go to the film to find...

      The music film filmed by Agnès' husband, the French version of Wang Baochuan's story, even if there is no strong help to fight the mandarin ducks, they are deeply in love and have no fate. When she was young, Catherine Deneuve was as sweet and delicate as a Barbie doll. The color of the film was as bright as a candy version. It snowed so desperately. Like the theme...

      Rhythmic rhythm, sung dialogue, precise scheduling, rich color matching, like an oil painting with saturated colors that overturned the palette, a pair of men and women who make people's first love, a three-act opera. The only complaint was that they couldn't withstand the fleeting years. After meeting each other for many years, they found that the time had separated each other so far that even the greeting seemed so embarrassing. Fortunately, we are all on our own....

      Such an old movie is so good. That song is very classic and has been in my head for a long time. The style of the heroine in each scene is impressive. The burberry trench coat worn in the first scene is often recommended by people. It is said that the French are so tasteful no matter what they wear, they feel vulgar when they get it on themselves. In the face of reality and love, we have to bow to...

      I misunderstood too much about this movie. What a clichéd story, but still being abused! ! All for the last scene! The main melody sounded, with the parting ways in the heavy snow, the umbrella of the snow castle, and finally there was a sense of tragedy like Anna...

      4.5, I can't agree with the point of view that "full singing affects emotional expression", let's take a look at the exciting reunion scene in the snow that gives full play to the charm of singing arias. The heroine asked the hero in a tentative cappella if he wanted to see his daughter, and the hero just shook his head without saying a word. Isn't it much more powerful than the dialogue? At the same time, this scene also provides us with a general model of love tragedy (apparently borrowed...
