Let's forget the new wave, forget the May storm, forget the student movement, forget the mini A-line dress and the face of Marilyn Monroe, forget the anger of Truffaut and the radicalism of Godard, forget the obscure clips and "China" Forget Cannes, Forget Popism, Forget Hippie, Forget Sexual Liberation, Forget the Vietnam War, Forget posturing politics and naked sex, forget that 42 years ago, the feelings of three young people were Age burns.

Bernardo Bertolucci is a director who is romantic to the core, he is a poet. So under his lens, politics can be not only cruel, but also romantic.
A romantic story needs a romantic setting, like 1968, Paris.
A romantic story requires romantic clothing, such as a well-textured bonnet and a well-tailored suit skirt.
A romantic story requires romantic ideas, such as the cult of communism and the scorn of sexual conservatism.
Romance stories require romantic rebellion, like threesomes, like same-sex and incest.

After
Isabella 's
dinner, she first kissed Leo goodbye, Then he picked up the candles and walked towards Matthew, the silk clothes just matched her graceful girly body, noble and elegant, goddess-like, like Marlene Deedley, the candle burned her hair the moment she bowed her head and kissed, he panicked to help her caress After her hair fell, she continued the kiss.
In an instant, the emotional weakness was settled.
No matter how many times Isabella and Leo repeat the lines, We accept you, one of us! One of us, Matthew is still an outsider in this game, or in other words, an outsider in Isabella's life. She always loves only her twin brother in her heart.
When a piece of love is not accepted by this society or its morality, most of the owners of this love will form a self-independent morality, neither compromising nor daring to openly rebel against reality.
Such as the so-called taboo same-sex love. Most of the real homosexuals are like Jack and Ennis in "Brokeback Mountain". While they believe in true love for each other, they have to compromise with reality and marry and start a family. Or as extreme as Plato, believing that true love can only happen between two men, but Utopia is Utopia precisely because it is unrealistic.
Just like Isabella's incestuous love for Leo. They can't let reality compromise, so they can only put their love on movies or politics, or conversely use movies to indulge. Who's to say that their acceptance of Matthew wasn't out of a fascination with Truffaut's Jules & Jim. And Isabella and Leo's incestuous love has determined that they disdain ordinary and warm love sketches. As Isabella said to Matthew, we never watch TV.
It is difficult to say whether it is the times that build the minds or the minds that create the times. After all, the New Wave is a mutually replenishing relationship for young people.

II
Matthew
The end of the story is in the angry streets of Paris, Matthew kissed Isabella, kissed Leo, he said excitedly, this is what we want, is love! is love! Not violent! But this did not stop their revolutionary footsteps in the end. They did not hesitate or turn around. Leo was left alone. The bustling crowd squeezed past him, and he could only turn around silently. He doesn't belong to them, he doesn't belong to Paris, he doesn't belong to this hot France.
It was the saddest scene in the whole show, they were walking in opposite directions from each other. Although the director did not give a clear answer, I always felt that when Matthew turned around, he was parting with life and death.
In fact, Matthew has always been out of place in this small group of three. He and Leo had completely opposite thoughts about the Vietnam War, about Mao Zedong, about Chaplin and Keaton. Leo is a complete dreamer, while Matthew is more realistic.
Matthew is not without dreams. His fascination with Isabella and his longing for friendship are the foundation of his journey into this dream country. It's just that everything fell apart when he tried to break this balanced triangle. From the moment he and Isabella had sex on the floor, he found out that he had to endure the threesome, he fell in love with her completely, he tried to change her, he wanted her to see the outside world, Looking at the person who loves her, he wants her to fall in love with him completely.
He wanted to wake her up from her dream. But he didn't know that waking her up would kill her.

Sanrio "
You
were the only one who refused to sign the anti-Vietnam War petition. "
Poets don't sign petitions, poets only write poetry."
"A petition is poetry."
"But poetry is also a petition."
"Well, a petition is a poem, and a poem is a petition. This is probably the most beautiful verse you've ever written."
In this erotic and petty-bourgeois film, every dispute with the smell of gunpowder is obvious. It's so disturbing, it's the opening scene. Young activists fight against old conservatism, and both sides will not give in to each other. Here, it can be seen from the side that Isabella is not interested in politics, and she did not participate in the dispute against her father. Leo, on the other hand, was a thoroughly passionate and radical youth. Like most young people at the time, he opposed the Vietnam War, de Gaulle, and the society. They shouted democracy, freedom; shouted movies, dreams; shouted communism, long live Chairman Mao.
Leo is not completely autistic like Isabella. He has his own circle, his own classmates, and even his own woman. Vaguely, you can still feel his ambiguity towards Matthew. But feelings are always second to Leo, and he is more concerned with politics. He had the values and aspirations that young men of that era shared. They naively believe that they can save and change this era with their own power. It's just that they ignore the fact that they were born with this era, and they can neither turn the tide nor advance it. The utopia in their hearts can only be a dream based on the material foundation at that time, but isn't it beautiful to pursue a dream with their own lives?
So the three people who finally run to the street will have three different expressions. Leo was completely angry and dissatisfied, Isabella was hilarious, and Matthew was worried.
---------------------------------
Fiction
At the end of the novel, the author will write the ending as Matthew to protect Leo and Isabella died. In the film, the director fixed the scene on that noisy and chaotic night, leaving a suspense for the life and death of the brother and sister (the film is recounted in flashbacks in the way of Matthew's memory, which means that Matthew was spared the unrest), but I believe there is an indirect hint at their ending from Isabella's attempted suicide and Leo's rage throwing a beer bottle at the police.
Or, life and death are not so important anymore, he, she, and other young people who took to the streets of Paris have already painted a very strong stroke for the restless last century, which has moved us and influenced future generations. ,that's enough.
