The Darney brothers, who came from documentaries, chose handheld photography as always, and calmly narrated the whole story. The Darney brothers' concern for the underprivileged is a major feature of their films. Cool tones, a high degree of calm and objectivity, life-like. From the ringing of the bell to leaving alone, the background sound has not been modified in any way. The film can still be considered monotonous and slow, the occasional conflict is fleeting, and the characters are not good or bad. Although they are selfish and narrow-minded, they are just poor people struggling in life. Under the natural tone, he explained the situation of everyone: life is like this, not everyone's life is as bright as the sun, and what is repeated day after day is the real life we have to endure and endure.
Under the pressure of unemployment, the female protagonist's already weak body looks even more exhausted. Marion Cotillard's performance is not outstanding, but it is qualified. Every effort seems to be exhausting. Repeated attempts make the audience and the protagonist together. become disappointed and frustrated. She questioned her marriage, and was confused about the future. She had already exhausted her strength in the struggles, suffered injustice and discrimination, and there was no river flowing soothingly in her heart. Even when she was with her children, she could not see a smile.
But in her seemingly thin body, there is a kind of tenacity and tenacity, silently accepting the cruelty caused by reality to them. Although she was occasionally dissatisfied, she never complained. Her perseverance was a kind of small greatness. Walking alone on the road of departure, Sandra seemed particularly relaxed and energetic, because she was finally able to bravely face the desperate situation. Life is really hard, but we have to live on it, right?
This tenacity is the warmth of the Darney brothers' films. Although the setting of the story may seem a little unrealistic, the choice of bonus or the work of colleagues is also a little deliberate, but the movie is not a documentary after all. When we look at life in such a situation, we will find that we have never Only by facing it squarely in this way and removing all false appearances can our understanding be profound enough.
As has been shown in previous films, the Darney brothers' film style remains the same. Multi-level correspondence The correspondence between the tone of the film and the inner state of the characters, the correspondence between the oppression of the urban environment and the slow development of the story line, the correspondence between the director's objective perspective and the actor's life-like performance, the correspondence between the shaking of the portable camera and the changing fate, human nature Correspondence between good and evil. If you can gradually be attracted by the story of the protagonist of the film, then you will find that there is a very touching humanistic concern in the eyes of the Darney brothers. The little people under their lens are always swinging on the animal side and the human side. When this swing has a temporary stop, the secret of life appears: you will find that the world seen from such a perspective is not completely , but a real one.
Different from the abrupt ending of the Darney brothers' previous films, the directors from "Bicycle Boy" to "Two Days and One Night" have given relatively complete endings. The abrupt ending seems to be very abrupt, and the story does not have a conventional and satisfactory explanation, but this is exactly the attitude the director wants to explain, there is no answer to everything, the cruelty continues, the ups and downs continue, the struggle continues, life remains the same, fate remains the same, and reality remains the same . But in the last two movies, the Darney brothers seem to have deliberately adopted a more positive ending. The cyclist and his adoptive mother ride together to relax, and Sandra also put forth her energy to start a new life. The rough and difficult we see in the movie It seems that all will gradually pass away, and the protagonists of the story will all start a new chapter in their lives.
But as said in an article, has spring come for the ugly duckling? No, winter is the longest season of life. What's more, the characters in the Darney brothers' shots are not exactly ugly ducklings, they are more like small stones in the block that have been hit by accident; they are dwarf trees growing among weeds and boulders. Under the once-in-a-lifetime sunlight, they exposed their stoutness and strength.
