love, love

The film lacks a plot of ups and downs, and the love that weakens the political background seems rather bland. The passionate love in the Cold War is not opportunistic, not ambiguous, not either, but a touch of sadness and strong love. There is no right or wrong in love, but the times gave them the shackles to distinguish between right and wrong, and finally they came to an end for love. The black and white images are simple and delicate, and each frame is like a PPT, recording the remaining beauty in that bad era.

two hearts two eyes

what cries day and night

The black eyes you cry for

can't see you again

I will love till the last moment of my life

I will always follow you till the end of the world

    Standard love in troubled times, the strange thing is that every action after the choice is omitted, and the result is directly presented. Maybe the director has some kind of consideration of his own. re-exist? But what's interesting to me is that the protagonists are musicians, and when they travel to cities in Europe, the style of music also changes according to their circumstances. Even at the earliest, one of the questions the Polish government under Stalin had when testing the male lead was "Does he listen to slow music." They first recorded plain Eastern European folk songs in Poland, and later recorded chanson records in France. Passionate & soothing, hard & pretentious, the body-stretching dance in the Kremlin and the painful gesture in front of the piano in the Paris bar, isn't this the "epic" and "modernist novel" that Lukacs confronts in "Theory of the Novel". At the end of the film is the "Goldberg Variation", Bach forever.

    The beauty of the picture is beautiful, but the lack of time jumps supported by details reverses the lack of creative techniques.
