      Things to come: A short review of more than 224 words

      Once again, I was shocked by the power of the movie.

      I was silent in their lives, their predicaments, their emotions.

      That could be me in another fictional parallel plane. When I saw her running on the street, the complex emotions that touched her heart at that moment cannot be described in words; I saw her wrinkled but straight back, her tears; she removed all the pressure on her body Responsibility, enjoy moments of loneliness or freedom. I seem to see many souls who feel the...

      Natalie's life

      When I look back on L'AVENIR, I always feel that Natalie's calm, self-sufficient props up the whole movie. She has the resistance of ordinary people when facing the midlife crisis, but she also has insight outside of life. I envy her mental state. Life's sorrows and joys are no different, they're just experiences; I know the spaces I'm familiar with, accept the constraints I have, and walk freely within them. I think this is the so-called state of freedom: in a certain time and...

      Can Philosophy Save Our Lives?

      The answer is of course no.

      The film "Things to Come" starring Huppert directed by female director Mia Hans-Love tells the story of such a philosophy teacher.

      The life of Natalie, a middle-aged philosophy teacher, is on the verge of collapse - her husband of 25 years suddenly confesses that he has a lover and is leaving her mother, who lives alone with her lover, suffers from severe depression Trying to commit suicide every...

      It's easy to declare that you want freedom, to be truly free is scary

      It's easy to declare one's desire to be free, but it's scary to be truly free - "L'avenir" (Something in the Future)

      In fact, most of us do not pay attention to the unity of action and thought, and what we do is just for role-playing. For example, the attitude towards various news on social media is just to express the attitude, but dare not put it into action. We hate environmental pollution, and we express people's awareness of environmental...

      4.5 Omg I'm jealous of that cat! Huppert's performance is really pleasing to the eye, and I have read several passages over and over again: my husband talks about divorce, reads Pascal at the funeral, and talks to Pandora every time, "I just want to teach young people to think independently"... Doesn't it look like Rohmer? Woolen cloth? Maybe it's not very similar, but I can't help feeling that André Marcon looks a bit like Fabrice Luchini. Aunt Huppert's acting is so good that she doesn't need...

      Sitting by the bay window, lit cigarette after cigarette, watching Huppert's ageless beauty and intelligence, the helplessness and anxiety of the New Year's season were all healed, and the movie ended like a...

      In Woody Allen's films, characters are often ignorant of their own cynicism. In Mia Hansen Love's "intellectual film", the philosophy teacher played by Huppert is constantly facing the crisis of self-consistency in the daily life of the post-68s - from reality The symbolic system of the world captures it in various social relations, and the passages in philosophical writings form metaphors for this state, beginning with the demise of speculativeness. L'avenir is something to come, establishing...

    Evaluation action

    The film has all the charms of a French-speaking film: smooth editing, fine-grained lines full of humor and philosophy of life, attracting audiences to forget the passage of time, inadvertently revealed social situations and political jokes that the French can never give up   . (Sohu Entertainment Review)
    Director Mia Hansen-Løve's work is always concerned with the passage of time, and this film is slightly different, with a witty...
