After just watching Daniel Auteuil 's "Remich Encounter", the next movie I watched was still "Belle Epoque" starring him, which allowed me to see another flesh-and-blood creation by him. old man.
This movie is a real version of Westworld, a premium version of Party A and Party B. If there is such a dream theater in reality, which can greatly restore a day in your past, which day would you want to go back to? This is a really interesting question. Especially for an old man in his twilight years, choosing a day in his life must be the most exciting moment for him, and it must be related to love, not work or study. So are those few days the most memorable in one's life?
I saw Victor's wife shove Victor out of the house, turned around and got together with her lover, but Victor wanted to go back to the day when they first met, and couldn't help crying bitterly. Later, Victor caught the rape in bed, but his heart was as calm as water, indicating that he no longer loved his current wife in his heart.
The French view on love and marriage is very interesting. The French treat love directly, warmly, openly, and unrestrainedly. But no matter how passionately fell in love with each other at that time and came to marriage, the trivial life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans over the years will make the former love bleak. At the end, Victor's wife also came to the theater, and when she looked back on the marriage, she said that she regretted it. Victor didn't pick up the scarf she deliberately dropped, but caught a glimpse (fantasy) of the actress playing his wife. In fact, this should not blame love, but real life is so boring. Although I really want him and his wife to reunite, but according to the performance in the play, I am afraid this is wishful thinking. Can't help but remind me of "Before Midnight", where the male protagonist said to the female protagonist who is about to break up: "I love you unconditionally, you want true love, this is true love. This is life, not perfect, but true." They Finally reconciled. And this movie, obviously the director is much more pessimistic, seems to tell us that the moment of falling in love can't be worth the friction and contradictions of married life for decades. But what I want to ask is: If there is no first love at first sight, what is more able to stop the nuances and emotional wear and tear of life?
Finally, I hope that when I'm 70, I'll die without regrets if I have the grace and charm of Mrs. Victor 's Fanny Ardant.
