The painter was invited to an island to paint a portrait of Eloise, a girl to be married. This portrait will be sent to the home of Eloise's fiancé.
If you want to draw a person well, you must look carefully, and as we all know, love often starts from staring, especially staring at each other. Curiosity itself is a form of love.
When you're shy, you bite your lip. When you're angry, you don't blink. When you don't know what to say, you massage your forehead. You raise your eyebrows when you lose control. When you are troubled, you breathe through your mouth.
(Your sense of stiffness and pause, you are used to clenching your teeth unconsciously, the corners of your mouth sink, and you will have nasolabial lines. When you are nervous, you will sniff your nose and frown, and when you are unhappy, you will put your hands in your pockets and support them at the same time. Open your elbows. When you are in a daze, you will unconsciously bend your fingers to a certain angle. When you want to laugh but are afraid of being seen, you will lower your head and purse your mouth and quickly raise your eyes.)
In the age of no camera, the painter's gaze came naturally.
In the age of no electric light, you can even see the fluff on each other's faces in the firelight. The erotic flow in the whole movie is so beautiful.
At the beginning of the story, the painter plays the "Four Seasons", which is almost unremarkable, while explaining, and Eloise flutters his eyelashes and does not want to look away. Until the end of the story, Eloise cried out of control listening to the symphonic version of "The Four Seasons", and the painter looked at her from the other side of the concert hall, unwilling to look away. I know that they can't forget, the sight of each other in the bonfire has been a long time ago.
And my favorite episode was when Eloise went out alone, and she said, "When I'm alone, I feel the freedom you talked about, and I feel your absence at the same time." So, this In fact, it is also a story about freedom. In particular, in that era and society, the story of repressed women's inner thirst for freedom.
No matter in which age, mankind's thirst for freedom will never stop, just like the wind under the wings of an albatross never stops.
I've felt that freedom too, especially when I'm sitting on a cliff.
I have also met the sea alone, and I have taken care of the stars of all ages. I felt excitement and relief, anticipation and recollection, and the fear of the coming future—the future hidden in the mist and timid at distance. But I also believe that when you step into it, the clouds and fog will disappear.
A waltz for you, for you 1000 times over.
