French mainstream commercial romance, the story is not complicated.
The male protagonist Victor is a comic illustrator who has been eliminated by the times. He has been with his wife and love for many years, and now they are entering the crisis of old age together. Victor misses the good old days, while his wife seems to keep up with the trend of the times and indulge in electronic technology such as VR. By chance, Victor got a "time travel" opportunity, a company called Back to Good Memory, which used the realistic scenes built by movie props and the acting skills of professional actors to take him back to the time when he met in a bar. On the day of love, relive the beautiful love that the thunder and the fire ignited. In the process, he forgives his cheating wife and falls in love with the young actor who plays his wife. In the end, the young actress pulled herself away from the drama and returned to her real boyfriend, and Victor also got out of the old age crisis and decided to walk into the bar that made them fall in love with his wife again.
The film has a romantic atmosphere unique to the French, and there are many interesting laughs in the plot. Of course, there are also eternal sorrows and tears on the topic of love. Going to middle age and old age, facing the increasingly useless self, we can't help but miss our high-spirited and energetic when we were young. Have the touch of true love with a person. Love has never been a matter of time or place. It's just right, and we are fortunate to meet the person who makes our hearts go.
This movie is full of cinephile cultural color, people more or less have their own unique emotional projections in the characters of the movie, and as the subtitles roll at the end of the movie, we will all wake up from a big dream and return to reality.
We seem to be living in a "post-epidemic era" recently. The life of masks and code scanning, the sharply opposed international public opinion environment, the anxious waiting for the follow-up investigation of the Bao Yuming incident, and the surging waves of the back and front waves are like the anxiety and irritability of PTSD. Torturing us, perhaps the biggest meaning of this film is: it’s time to get out of the emotional swamp, the spring is bright outside, the flowers are blooming, the swallows are back, we must also love someone seriously, maybe the next 2020 will be the most exciting time in our lives. Forgotten times.
