Purity in Chaos

Previously, the signature on QQ was "The person who appears in the dream should go to see him when he wakes up, life is that simple". Several friends have asked about the meaning or purpose of the signature. There are comments that they like
the lines of the movie "Xinqiao Lovers", and I like them very much, but the film itself feels noisy and chaotic. The hero is a tramp, and the heroine is a runaway from home and suffers from eye diseases. A wealthy girl from an epidemic, they meet on an abandoned bridge. Unlike every imaginable romantic love story, the film has been played out in a struggling, tyrannical, almost insane situation.
The first scene of Alex is angry and restless. The drunk homeless rubbed his forehead on the rough concrete floor, trying to vent his anger at being abandoned by the world. Lying in the middle of the road, his ankle was crushed by a car. Unconsciously, Micheal passed by, just glanced at him, thought he was dead, and at the same time the lonely frustrated person was so indifferent and paralyzed.
Until they met on the bridge, he fell in love with her when he saw how he looked in her memory. Even if he has nothing, it does not mean that he cannot possess it. He loves her with his entire body, mind, and universe. Because of her late return, he ravaged his body with a broken wine bottle, trying to save the pain of the soul with the pain of the body; he did everything in an exaggerated way because of her eye disease; he burned the subway station There were a lot of posters of her family looking for her for treatment because they wanted to keep her; he also threw away the money they cheated to make a living, because he didn't want her to plan all kinds of ideas for the future, he just wanted her to stay. Beside, stay on this bridge; until she finally hears the call of her family, sees the hope of healing her eyes and leaves him, and he shoots his finger with the last bullet she left, and he loves her , God can prove...
A movie is a movie after all, the protagonist's extremely tyrannical and crazy behavior is almost perverted and bizarre, but I am moved, what I see is love that has taken off all the worldly clothes. Love is that simple, and Alex's all The action represents the most original and complete love. When I watch it for the second time, I really feel the ulterior motives of the director Carax. Everything Alex does is the most intense action for his lover, showing dedication, care, persistence, Stubbornness, control, etc. And this angry and numb tramp actually wrote this paragraph to the sleeping Micheal:
"If you love someone, tell him: 'The sky is white', and if that person is me, I'll answer: 'But the clouds are black'. That way we know we love each other."
Look at this sentence, It can already make people emotionally broken. I love Alex very much. He looks abnormal, but has an extremely pure lover's heart.
This film was recommended by the teacher of the film and television appreciation class at that time. At that time, I was on the way to the cafeteria after class, and I talked about how I liked French movies and Juliet Binoche very much. She didn't remember the title clearly at that time until she saw it again. Compared with "Chocolate" and "The English Patient", her performance in this film was undoubtedly very good, and was affirmed by Cannes for this, and her performance in this film was undoubtedly outstanding. A "Blue" has many similarities in the performance of the characters. It is definitely the actor's nature that has something in common with the characters. It is an honor to recommend it. It is a very pure film.
