I bought it a long time ago on DVD, but I just found it recently. The film opens with a filthy drunk lying on the ground, another scruffy woman with gauze on her left eye sits in, and then an ambulance rushing in, a crowded shelter. To be honest, I had to endure it for a while before I decided to continue watching. I always thought that I didn't need to watch too many realistic dark movies to understand the world. But out of a preference for Parisian stories, I decided to continue for a while. But after a few shots, I was thankful that I made the right decision.
Pont Nurf, Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris. Under construction and maintenance. Ruins are everywhere.
Michelle, the colonel's daughter, was abandoned by her first boyfriend and exiled herself with an easel on her back, but she suffers from severe eye problems and can barely see. When she met Alice, she thought he was dead. So she drew a picture for him, an impression in her memory. When Dennis escaped from the shelter, he saw her and her impressions of him in him. I guess it was that moment when he fell in love with her. Although you don't know the reason, you know that at that moment it is possible that he fell in love with her.
He followed her down the subway, and the sound of the cello gradually became clearer. She's looking for a past lover, and he's stopping her. There are a lot of scenes of them walking through the city in the film, and I love them. The different rhythms, transitions and music accurately interpret and convey their mood. Michelle blocked the pistol in the cat's eye of her ex-boyfriend's house, but finally didn't shoot.
She takes part in a spree with the bullets she saves. Even if one day I will forget all the stories, I will still remember that night of fireworks. Fireworks fill the skies of Paris and fall into the overflowing Seine, a bustling and joyous city that belongs only to two young and destitute wanderers. They toasted, they shot, and came to join the feast. He was still lame, standing on the yacht; she was nearly blind, her bright laughter cutting the Seine. I have never seen such a feast, flowing fireworks, river water, lights, symphony and wine love, no less, no more.
Michelle is getting more and more blind, and the world will turn into darkness. She may only be able to keep a few faces in her mind, she can't even see smiling faces. But Dennis would laugh and make her eyes. Love makes women stable, but stability makes men panic. Dennis throws away all the money they've stolen and burns posters looking for Michelle all over the street. Unfortunately, he accidentally burns the poster and goes to jail, while Michelle returns to his family. Three years later, they met again on the brand new bridge as promised. They were completely new, not lame, not blind, and no longer ragged and scarred. Life's problems don't all end, but they are lucky enough to fall into the Seine. A sand ship will take them all the way to the Atlantic -- "Let Paris rot!"
-- I haven't seen a film that moved me in some time. Well shot, well acted. The heroine is Binoche. The main character can't remember his name.
