I watched two movies in the past two days. One is an old film, from 2005, and the other is older, from 1990. One is a love movie, which is more alternative love, and the other is a love movie, which is more alternative. The director of one is the famous Luc Besson, and the director of the other is also a world-class director, Almodovar. One is "Angel A" and the other is "Tie Me Up Tie Me Down".
Let's first post a brief introduction to the film "Angel A".
"Paris, when a gangster Andre (Gamel Debbouze) was about to jump into a river because he had nowhere to go, he found a blond woman jumping into the river. The beautiful girl - Angel (Rie Rasmussen).
Andre felt ashamed in front of the tall and beautiful Angel, but Angel believed that Andre saved her, so she belonged to Andre, and she wanted to help Ange Andre was happy. When the black boss who was collecting debts captured Andre, Angel helped him out of danger; when Andre had no money to pay the debt, Angel sold himself and paid the money for Andre.
Andre see Feeling ashamed and angry at what Angel did for himself, he fell in love with Angel completely. Finally, with Angel's encouragement, Andre said "I love you" to her, in fact, to himself.
In the end, Angel confessed to Andre that he was an angel who came to help him, and it was time to go..."
Angels fall in love with punks? Why not. Angel A, sounds a bit like a bandit armor. It doesn't even have a name, only a code name. This angel is miserable enough. He has no name or origin of his own, just an insignificant little role in heaven. When the punks on the ground have difficulties, God can only send such small characters to solve them. Such two small characters in the sky and the earth meet and start to understand each other, so what's the next step? Love is such a simple thing.

Let me post a brief introduction to the film "Tie Me, Tie Me".
"Ricky has been orphaned since the age of three, and he has spent time in various social institutions. When he was released from mental illness at the age of twenty-three, he had only three wishes: to find a wife and form a family. , and having a job - living an ordinary life. Although immature, he knew that for him an ordinary life was a luxury that had to be earned. Richie fell in love with porn actress Marianne, so he kidnapped her. Immediately after he kidnapped Marianne, he told her, "I kidnapped you so you could get to know me because I'm sure you'll love me as much as I have. you. Looking at the stunned and stunned woman in front of him, Rich continued to talk about his life plans: "I am twenty-three years old, I have fifty thousand pesetas (Spanish currency units), and I am alone in this world. I would like to be a good husband to you and a good father to your children. "In the end, Marianne actually fell in love with Richie in an incredible way..."
Knowing about this very controversial film early on and not knowing where to find it. I found it recently on VC. I once read film reviews that analyzed why the hostages fell in love with the kidnappers. I thought the film was about sadomasochism. I don't know if there is sadomasochism, and I don't know how those people investigated that some women like to be abused, and the more abused they are, the happier they will be, the more they will have love and so on. This film is actually an ordinary love story - a man falls in love with a woman, and then pursues it hard. The woman did not intend to, but found a common situation and the lovely side of a man in contact, and then fell in love. A little unusual is the way a man chases a woman - kidnapping, using kidnapping to create opportunities for solitude that didn't exist at all. It is also analyzed by experts - I don't know how the experts analyze it - no matter how much effort a man spends, the way he pursues is clumsy in the eyes of women, and often successful cases show that women don't really value the way, the key It is to let women see the lovely side of men and know that men really love themselves. Therefore, the introduction of the film should be written like this: A beautiful man fell in love with a beautiful woman, and then kidnapped her, so that she could have a chance to understand herself, and then the beautiful woman knew that she had the same situation as the beautiful man, and the beautiful man also drew a good painting. , mutual understanding began to deepen, so what's the next step? Love is such a simple thing.

There are other so-called profound truths about how the two films have to be deconstructed. However, after living such a long life, he is not very knowledgeable, and he has seen a lot of messed up truths, so he is not interested. Speaking of love, it seems that there is no kind of love that can move me. After all, love is a simple thing. What I appreciate about the two films is the way of storytelling and the use of photography techniques. The black and white images of "Angel A" are very beautiful and have a special texture. "Tie Me, Tie Me" is at the other extreme. I have never seen such a bold use of colors. All kinds of fancy colors are harmoniously combined, another kind of visual enjoyment. I think that a film, no matter what the story is, can tell the story in a rhythm, the photography is full of beauty, and if it can have the right music, it will be a very good film.
