A Frenchy Story

This is the most touching film I've seen recently, and I admit, it may have something to do with my mood.

Watching this movie, I feel so familiar with many plots.

The dimly lit Club, the man who spoke Meng Lang, pulled away from the still noisy club in the early morning, the swaying scooter, half-closed eyes on the driver's seat.
This beginning must be familiar to many French people.
Many young people with injuries who are bright on the outside, lonely on the inside, asking for troubles and moaning without a problem, spend their weekends like this.

After that, there was a car accident.

Afterwards, an ex-girlfriend, Marion, appeared in the hospital. Perhaps it was the mutual hurt between the two lovers that made him one of the prodigal sons of today, who also made her a good boy and a girl to go away.

What she said to him on the phone, she never loved after him.

There was a complicated smile on his no longer handsome face at that moment.

At his funeral, she said to him, thank you for telling me to understand life, you gave me the courage to go to those faraway places to find life. And I always believe that when we are all getting old, we can still hold each other's hands and be together again. This is her courage to live.

But he was lying in the cold coffin, the story of two people growing old together in her mind has been rewritten by reality.

She is pregnant with someone else's child. Maybe she once fantasized about having a child with him, but the person in that fantasy has completely left the scene.

Typical Parisians, they are cold, but also warm. They yearn for love, but also reject it. In this day and age, especially in a city flooded with hormones, saying love has become a luxury, while simple and direct sex has become the most popular way to communicate.

Body and body are familiar with each other, but soul and soul are always estranged.
Many stories cannot be repeated.

Every story has something to teach us, especially the stories we experience firsthand, and especially the pain we experience firsthand.

One day, we can no longer refuse to grow.

This day is so near and yet so far.

    Sadness and joy. Very rambling, very rambling, a typical French literary film, the pictures and emotions are lively, there are many small details and a knowing smile, but in the end it is a sad ending. The overall structure is based on a close friend who had a car accident as the backbone, but the core contradiction lies in homosexuality. The emotions of most of the passages are related to love, regardless of the same sex or the opposite sex.

    A heartwarming story that will fill you with nostalgia and longing for friendship. It makes you long for and have a group of friends who can still hug you in laughter and tears after all the secrecy and betrayal and all the joys and sorrows of life and death together. The all-around handsome guy Guillaume has successfully mastered this star-studded, 150-minute drama blockbuster. A bunch of French stars, including Cotillard, did well. The beloved BM actually plays a pseudo-straight man! !
