Today, let's talk about the French movie "Mon roi": the Chinese name "My King". The movie uses flashbacks. Female lawyer Tony (Emmanuel) recalls an unforgettable love she had experienced when she was recuperating from a skiing injury. The story unfolds with memories, and the advantage is that the audience doesn't have to worry too much, at least knowing that the heroine is still alive in the end.
As soon as the heroine appeared, it left me uninterested. How can such a passerby look like this? But it turns out that looks are really secondary in independent movies (this time, among the many Oscar nominations, there are not many young and beautiful heroines, and Francis, who finally won the golden statuette, can no longer be described as not beautiful. Yes, but in the eyes of Mao Wei, she is radiant and charming), one Emmanuel can kill ten Fan Bingbing in seconds.
Falling in love with a prodigal son is doomed. But the joy of being in love is incomparable. Tony, a female lawyer with a very ordinary appearance and figure, falls in love with the suave, free-spirited restaurant manager Georgiou. When she saw him for the first time, she knew that he was the person she wanted. He was funny and romantic, mature and inclusive, and the key was to understand Emma's soul. At that time, the light in Emma's eyes made me dizzy as an audience. . Very bright and attractive.
Whether you are still young or slumped old, love is a war, and the winner or loser is already doomed. Toni loved Georgiou, and Georgiou loved Toni, and their love was sincere and ardent. So naturally, because of love, they get married, so they have children, so they plan to spend the rest of their lives together. We are all children who are delayed by fairy tales. All the stories we heard when we were young end here, but adult movies often start here.
Everything seems to be the beginning of a wonderful life, but how can that lover who is so tacit, so warm and so tender suddenly take care of his ex-girlfriend, suddenly move away from home, and suddenly become cold and alienated? Why is such a considerate and gentle person addicted to drugs, Tony fell into love and despair, and her emotions collapsed several times. Emma played extremely tense, ecstasy after becoming a mother, breaking glass with her fist when she was angry, He roared like a wild beast in the heavy rain, survived on Prozac, panicked when he saw his old friend, and finally swallowed a bunch of medicine without any interest in life.
I used to think that the worst thing in life is to die alone. Actually not, the worst thing in life is to get stuck in the quagmire of obsession, to get lost in the sense of worthlessness without knowing it. She chose to divorce, but she did not choose to leave in her heart. After ten years of divorce, she still did not get rid of his emotional mastery over her. She would still lose control and hurt herself. She still maintained a close relationship with him, and she still regarded him as a king. , she was resurrected by fragility and slaughtered by desire. She has been living in purgatory. In the end, when I was skiing, I deliberately broke my leg, which was a punishment for myself and a transfer of pain. But the injured leg is still limping, and he is willing to embrace the oncoming you.
This is a picture of her training in the rehabilitation center after breaking her leg, with a peaceful expression and soft eyes. And also during that time, Georgiou did not appear in her life. She is undergoing rehabilitation training both mentally and physically. She choked on the phone and said to her son, "Your father and I didn't divorce because we didn't love each other, absolutely not, we used to love each other very much and did a lot of crazy things for each other, but we just don't have good personalities and don't get along well. Separated." It's a rare introspection, and it's hard for a woman to see her own problems from the brokenness of a relationship. Because it is really a worry-free and labor-saving thing to attribute the responsibility to the other party and to be the victim. That means you don't need to make any changes yourself.
I remember she once said bravely in court: The shattered fantasy that has been destroyed by us is our freedom. If you want to truly love your own soul, you must abandon some, and if you want to jump, you must overcome the fear of heights. You must have lived, and you must have lost. The profundity and speculation of French films are revealed here. The film has an open ending. We don't know if the couple who loved and killed each other ended up together. In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are together or not. What matters is whether they regain their inner peace and freedom. Li Zongsheng sang: "If our love is a mistake, I hope you and I will not suffer in vain." No matter what kind of thing or people encounter, they should always bear their own life. This is everyone's homework. Everyone should try to ask themselves in the dead of night: Is it possible to live a good life even in an isolated situation?
