Is this bells and whistles love?

"Jules and Jim" ("Ancestors and Zhan")

To be honest, I went there for the brand of my schoolbag from the beginning, and I always wondered what the movie was about.

It can't be said that it is too vulgar, it is a vulgar love story anyway.

A group of French and German literary and artistic youths who gradually lost themselves in the pursuit of true love and freedom.

It may be that France is too open-minded, that French literary and artistic youth believe too much in true love, or that our ideology is too different. In short, I don't quite understand the feeling of loving someone to the core and humble to the dust.

They are all selfish people, even the ancestors. He allowed his good friend Zhan to fuck with his wife, and it seemed that he had fulfilled their true love, but in fact, it was also to keep Catherine from leaving him. They are all selfish!

Catherine is very self-willed and selfish; Zhan seems to be smarter and more play boy than Zu, but he still loses to the weakness of "can't think in front of Catherine"; Zu is a gentle and sincere person, and he finally loves Catherine because of his weakness. And let go of the bottom line of "a woman must be loyal", as if she has lost her dignity as a husband. Zu and Zhan's repeated forgiveness did not bring Katherine's stability, but made her indulge herself even more.

All of them are sorry, Zhan is sorry for Zu, Catherine is sorry for Zhan and Zu, Zhan is sorry for Jiaobei, Catherine is sorry for everyone including her daughter. They lost the purest friendship and the opportunity to love someone seriously. They even lost their own lives.

They rush forward and then lament the loss of innocence; they are anxious about the future while ignoring the happiness of the present. Therefore, they live neither in the present nor in the future. They lived as if they would never die, and after they died, they seemed to have never lived.

    This is the greatest 3P movie in the world. Truffaut's filming of this originally unsatisfactory novel can be used as a model case of literary adaptation. Rochet's original work is drastically cut off the branches and branches, but he compiles detailed dialogue on the basis of the original story-like outline. The scenes are mainly shots, the dialogue scenes are very attentive, and the freeze frame and zoom are both wonderful. Particularly rare is the insertion of fragments from old movies.

    Forgive me, first of all, I have always sneered at this kind of story that is dominated by women and separated between two men, and secondly, whether Truffaut or Godard, for the new wave, my aesthetic is unacceptable, and this This kind of literary film has been unable to mobilize the endorphins and hormones in the heart. Therefore, the literary film should be watched less and should be watched carefully, because it will cause fatigue.
