"The Clouds of Paris" is about love and war. The process of watching it reminds me of another film "Dream of Paris". Just like the Chinese translation, Paris occupies an important position in both films, and the emotional entanglement of the three protagonists has two people who broke the wonderful life of the threesome because of politics and the country, and even Penelope Cruz and Eva Green's temperament is so similar. It's just that one is two women and one man, one is two men and one woman, one is same-sex love, one is incestuous, one is more erotic, one is more war, one is more literary, one is more about love for movies, one is more Based on the love of children in troubled times.

When the war ruthlessly takes away the loved one, it has become impossible to stay out of it. The only way is to throw yourself into the troubled world to find the remaining hope. Fortunately, you can find someone who is worth fighting for, and you can go all out...
Charlize Theron It's very beautiful. What's rare is that her acting skills are still very convincing, full of charming charm but always incomprehensible.

I like the protagonist's temperament very much, there is fortitude in elegance, especially the affectionate and excited eyes when I meet Theron again, I can't help but be moved.
Finally, I think of Zhou Huai'an's touching sigh to Mo Yan: Whoever said that a child's love is buried in a troubled time, in fact, a child's love in troubled times is deeper...
