If you insist on watching "The Future" with the eyes of a commercial film, this film is actually about a common question: what happens after your husband cheats? And Natalie, a philosophy teacher starring Huppert, gave a wonderful answer: you need to read.
Middle-aged women should be the most difficult period. The same goes for Natalie in the film. Dedicating to education seriously, students are busy with students and unintentional classrooms; writing books, but subject to the publishing market; mother is depressed, husband cheats, children are stupid... All bad luck comes to you, if you change to any woman, even if Unlike rural women who cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, at least they have to panic all day. But as for Natalie, she still cooked the meal and told her husband that you can go out after you eat; borrow my book, you have to pay it back; it doesn’t matter if you cheat, Raymond Aron Opium") matters. So we saw Aunt Yu in front of the camera calmly tidying up the dining table, arranging vases, and reading in all places where they could read, being invited by students to live in the mountains, and discussing philosophy with young people, almost making us feel "divorced" It's like an interesting thing."
French movies always have such a skill. When the characters are leisurely and elegantly sipping wine and roasting toast, they can easily explain all the major principles of life related to the university. The subtlety of this film lies in the use of the heroine's major, Western philosophy, through the dialogues between Natalie, her husband and students about philosophy, which is actually a view of life held by the film: although the gap between thought and reality is It is insurmountable, but spiritual freedom is an irreplaceable necessity. Therefore, Natalie's most proud student, giving up all the reality of life and slumped in the mountains, reading and writing day and night, is in stark contrast to her two mediocre children's contempt for students; Natalie's denial of students' participation in politics Attitudes, and her mother's mockery of political leaders, also suggest that the film sees the world of knowledge, the world of speculation, as far more gratifying than how this world actually ends.
You can watch this film with ease, watching Yu Peir's free performance, watching the poetry of the set and the ease of rhythm, but you can also watch it "hard" to understand the philosophers and their main points in the mouth of the actors. The ins and outs of thought. To be honest, Xizhe is a shortcoming of mine. I don't know why the compulsory education doesn't involve Xizhe at all, except for a little plausible Marxist philosophy. Of course, compulsory education, even if it is free, is not good for us to order food. I can imagine the person who formulated the educational outline saying, um, if you don’t learn anything other than mathematics, physics and chemistry for building a country, it’s not like that. You can learn a little bit of ancient Chinese, and you’ll be confident in your culture; danmei literature can also be included. Not reactionary... As for philosophy, I can talk a little bit, but I can't teach it deeply; as for Western philosophy, it's too speculative, the more I learn, the wiser I get. cant. Therefore, the philosophical content included in this French film may only be a must-read for French primary and secondary school students, and I basically know nothing about it. Who can imagine that without culture, you can't even read movies. And let no one eat popcorn.
So, we, who are used to life as hot pot and broth, probably really don't understand this film. Because we have never heard the wise saying: An unexamined life is not worth living (Teacher Socrates). We have a sense of the presence of life, but no awareness of bystanders. Feng Youlan said, "People may not be political, but they must be philosophical." Please note that he said "must", and most people who receive compulsory education will probably first think of the word "philosophy" when they hear the word "philosophy". Sorry, it has nothing to do with me, I study engineering." That's why French cinema is completely new to me, every one is new, its fragmented plots and unconventional performances are just aids in the expression of philosophical meanings. Just like this film's answer to "What happens after my husband cheats", it is not based on reality at all, looking for a new love? Retaliation? No, but a series of reflections in an understatement of life: Pandora ran away from the anarchist farm; returned to the seaside cottage with her husband, the past is like a tide, and there is no trace left; peace The lullaby sung to the little granddaughter at night is the transmission of emotion, and it is also sung to life and the world...
A woman with a spiritual world does not need the sole consolation of her husband. This is an excellent movie about “promoting reading”. It should be played in a loop in various district libraries in Shanghai, organized for female college students to watch it early in colleges and universities, as an introductory interest activity for the first year of philosophy department, and so on. We have seen so much social news and heard so many tragic stories of "poor women", which are all around us, and we firmly believe that "after the husband cheats, the woman's sky falls", so Every girl thinks that her life depends entirely on the conscience of the person she encounters in the future; secondly, this society places so much importance on the achievement of marriage, but does not ask about the process at all, as if not getting married, getting married, divorced...especially true Women are great failures; any woman who flaunts her marriage in the public sphere is saying "I'm great, so I'm happy," which is especially unbelievable and meaningless for women. Marriage, by its very nature, is not a comfortable thing, especially for women (too much use of "especially"), we don't need to deny this at all, but really should think about it, when it's difficult When it comes, will I still be rich? Yes, from spiritual to economic, is it still independent, equal and decent? Even if there are no fancy clothes and wine, can there be a corner of the park where you can read and have a table of friends to chat and laugh? This is a problem that does not require education at all for men, but it is enough to cause great surprise to women. Contemporary women seem to have made progress in terms of education and employment rate, but their minds and spirits are overwhelming. still vulnerable. This makes me feel how necessary it is to promote reading. A rewarding, mind-boggling, enriching read. It's like being a sweethearted, sexy-minded lover. For married women, it is as important as cocktails, high-end fragrances, and slip dresses, and it is absolutely necessary.
Without further ado, go read.
