This is a literary and artistic sketch that looks very "scattered". Jumping and switching at three points in time increases the sense of alienation. A large number of narrations and image insertions involve too many topics: homosexuality, war, changes of times, happiness and sadness, loneliness and carnival, optimism and death... But the core of the film lies in the discussion. Interpersonal interaction. The elderly father came out resolutely after the death of his mother. From the comparison of the two years, whether it was love life or public opinion, the father was really happy at this time. The sudden cancer narrowed the distance between him and his son, and his open-minded attitude towards life and illness also infected his lonely and melancholy son. After some encounters and losses, the son recovered the happiness that was almost lost. In the journey of life and emotion, everyone is a beginner, learning simple happiness.
On the poster, there are three people standing side by side, and two people appear twice. The meaning is not very clear. Do you want to express the various attitudes of life?
The film's box office and reputation are good, especially Canadian Christopher Plummer won many best supporting actor awards at the age of 82, and became the oldest Oscar actor winner.
The French beauty Mélanie Laurent, who was born the same month as me, is so beautiful. The shot of the fluttering blonde hair in the backlight is amazing.
What is memorable about this film is that my wife's contractions began shortly after seeing the beginning of the film. Nine hours later, the little dragon girl was born.
