Music and piano are common hobbies between the two old couples. Their common theme also comes from this. After Anne fell ill, George also had the illusion that Anne was still sitting at the piano and playing gracefully. But now, Anne can only be like a corpse, lying in the hospital bed uncontrollably, allowing time to erode her spirit and body. I think that no one wants to continue this senseless insistence. We hope to die with dignity and end our life in a beautiful way. Anne's resistance to living like this can be seen in many of her actions - for example, she tried to jump off a building and collapsed on the ground; refused to eat, refused to drink water, when George said to her "You will die of thirst if you don't drink, do you want to die?" ? , Anne spit out the water in her mouth to show that she would rather die than live this way. From this scene, I also know that George is getting impatient, he said that I can't take it anymore. And there are many fuses for George to kill Anne - when he sees that Anne has been unable to express her thoughts normally (mental emptiness); usually calls her mother; when the nanny aunt bathes her, she screams pain (physical torture) Wait... Finally, George took the pillow and covered Anne's face, freeing her from her misery, which wasn't love. This also echoes what Anne said after learning that she suffered from a stroke - "Why suffer this sin in life? For you and me." There are thousands of loves in the world, who said this is not the case? Amour really interprets another possibility of "love".
Another distinctive feature of Amour is its extremely slow pace, which reminds me of my grandparents. In the last stage of life, isn't it just a lot of leisure, slightly boring, and uninteresting time spent with the elderly? The slow time of the elderly actually makes sense in this film.
PS. An interesting thing happened while watching Amour. There are many long shots in this movie, and two of them wanted to express the silence of the night. I just stared at the black long shot for a long time. During this period, my colleague turned his head and asked me what I was doing. Seeing me staring straight at the black screen, I was surprised. Ask: "What are you doing, are you alright?" I snickered and said that I was watching a movie. She stared at it for a few seconds in disbelief, and the screen was still black. Please make up your own mind about the way she looked at me at that time, hahaha. I didn't know how to explain it to her, but I deeply felt a certain sense of fear brought by the long shots and black screen in the movie.
