And the biggest feeling I felt after watching it was envy and admiration. Appreciate the free, happy and frank personality of the French people, and envy their forever young and innocent attitude towards life. Even if they have one or another weakness and sickness, even life will give them a heavy blow; but they can accept it happily, and they can live out a new self more solidly. How wonderful!
Before watching the movie, I already knew the plot from the brief introduction (the title of the movie also hints at this), I have seen a lot of this type of movies, and I guess it should show the tension between the "outside" and "inside" of life, which is nothing more than making people feel I feel that life is not easy, marriage is not easy, and the seemingly perfect surface hides a lot of turbulence.
However, when I really read it, I realized that there was no sigh, no irony at all; some were just facing a group of lovely "teenagers", they couldn't bear to be criticized, only understanding, and even more believing! Yes, all of us are sick, and sickness is an escape from illness—a friend is seriously injured in a car accident, since it’s useless to stay by his side, it is most important to have fun in time; sickness is not knowing how to cherish—the relationship is a revolving sign, what is the most cherished in my heart It seems that I can’t figure it out all the time; I’m ill because of my ambitions, but I’m exhausted physically and mentally; I can’t bear to let go, and it’s annoying and annoying... But you will feel that these "illnesses" are not so abhorrent, On the contrary, there are some cute little ones. Antonio is silly and cute by guessing ambiguous text messages all day long, Max has a nervous breakdown and is funny and pitiful when he gets slapped by a weasel, Eric is also cute when he gets dumped by his girlfriend and pretends to be drunk... More importantly, they are all honest, whether it's Vicent There is a restrained pursuit and avoidance between Max and Eric, Eric locks himself in the house and tells his friends outside the house the fact that he was dumped, Maria tells Eric I can't sleep with you, I only have a good friend like you, etc... …their lies, not big lies, really just, small, white, lies.
Besides, life didn't keep them chaotic all the time. As the storyline unfolds, they have slowly seen the crux of the heart and dealt with it positively. Although there are joys and sorrows in the results, no matter what, enlightenment is the first step towards a better life. At the end of the film, the death of a good friend woke everyone up. At that funeral, which I thought was very tender, everyone reconciled with themselves and with others. What impresses me is Luto's mother, the elegant old woman who has been holding a rose at the funeral, smiling and listening to her son's friends tell their emotions and secrets. This is their attitude to life!
In fact, I believe that what the director wants to express, what the French audience sees, is far from what I empathize with. Maybe it's a cultural difference! Always young, always sincere. For those of us who are under the influence of Confucian culture, it sounds like a catchy slogan, but it is not easy to do.
