How can there be such a good answer to the proposition of love? Love is a canned food with a shelf life. We must have our own answer after watching the ending.
When it comes to French movies, the adjective "romantic" must be mentioned very frequently, such as "Angel Amelie", "Beautiful Life", "Two Little No Guess", this nation integrates the elegance and romance of the Champs-Elysees into life. In all aspects, the screen of the movie will naturally not be missed. "Belle Epoque" is a love and romantic "travel" movie comparable to "First Kiss". Once upon a time, "First Kiss" has become a very vivid picture of love in the hearts of a generation. Whether it is the first love of the young girl Wicca played by Sophie Marceau, or the complicated middle-aged couple's emotions of Wicca's parents, it is difficult to be like the daily routine of today. Imagine a story that happened nearly 40 years ago. And the hero of "Belle Epoque" "travels" back to the 1970s full of sincerity, enthusiasm and kindness 40 years ago.
Just saw the plot introduction: An elderly illustrator who has been married for more than 40 years and his wife's marriage are in crisis. The old-fashioned Victor, with the help of his son and his friends, experienced a "travel" service provided by a good memory company, returning to the first romantic encounter with his love in 1974. This is like the French version of "Party A and Party B", and it is also like an upgraded version of "Personal Order". The same formula presents the unique flavor of France. Nicholas Bedos, the director of the show who was born in the 1980s, previously directed and starred in "The Adelmans", aiming to reveal the complex nature of marriage, and now he has extended his perspective to the timeless problems faced by love in reality.
The film presents two pairs of lovers, one is the male protagonist, the old couple who have been married for 40 years, and the other is the young lover, Anthony, the owner of the Good Memories Company, and the actress who plays the younger version of Victor's wife. The development of these two lovers is against each other, and their relationship also has a strong alternation, not only the relationship between the customer and the behind-the-scenes promoter in the play. The reason why Anthony wanted to help Vito was because Vito had given him spiritual guidance in his youth, so that he could set foot in the industry of helping people realize their dreams. The young man who shines will give in return.
The story begins as a conservative old man who used to be brilliant, but the reality is that he has been unemployed for 4 years with the passage of time, and is unwilling to accept any new technology and new ideas. We saw that he despised his son's game company, felt that the dream-making business of his son's friend was nonsense, and even the smart car Tesla made him indignant. He is an overly real next-door uncle.
And his wife is a psychologist who loves life and pursues the trend. Judging from the fact that she still maintains a good figure and uses high-tech products in her life, they are completely people living in two eras. The wife and son's dissatisfaction with Victor was obvious, and they could easily guess the old-fashioned questioning of new things.
This disparity and contradiction eventually led to his wife's derailment and pursuit of a so-called better love. Victor was swept out of the house and had nowhere to go. In desperation, he remembered the dream voucher his son gave him. Here, at the beginning, he was deeply moved by the real scene that was similar to his wife. Everything seemed to return to the past, that era full of beauty. He regained his long-lost enthusiasm and energy, and the male hormones in his chest returned to blood. .
The beautiful 1974 recalled by Victor was an era in which hippies were gradually degenerating, an era in which the "Watergate Incident" occurred, an era in which people talked freely, loved to read, had no mobile phones, and were not engulfed by technology.
He was moved again by his young wife, and love came again, but he didn't know that the actress was actually Anthony's girlfriend.
In "Day Trip to Good Dreams", Victoria received love again, and the director Anthony and his girlfriend came together again. This story seems to have a happy ending, but the director is not so superficial. How can the proposition of love be so well answered? Love is a canned food with a shelf life, and we will have our own answer after watching the ending. Just as Jiang Wen loves the former era of "Sunny Days", maybe Victor's "Beautiful Era" is not for that innocent era, but for his former self.
The disappearance of love is a natural law, no matter how cruel this cycle is always going on, his beauty lies in that moment of lightning. At this time, a poem can best express: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad painting fan. It's easy to change but the old people's hearts, but the old people's hearts are changeable."
