How will we say goodbye to this feast of life?

★★★★★ This is a movie that I can't forget for a long time after watching it, and I am still immersed in a touch of sadness after a few days. The rhythm of the film is very slow, and as the long takes progress little by little, I feel like I'm about to settle down. The cool-toned picture, the formal composition, even if there is no ups and downs in the plot, it is very worthwhile just to appreciate the photography. A monologue like a poem, even if you don't understand it, you can feel the beauty of the rhythm. The emotional expression is restrained and tense, but it directly hits the hearts of the people. The body lines show emotional outbursts. Anyway, I burst into tears a few times. Life is a feast, how will we say goodbye?

The song sung by the little boy "Give apples will rot, send roses will wither, send white grapes will be crushed, I will send my tears..."
There are many people hanging on the Internet, it looks a little scary, and it also confirms that the little boy will not go back. From this point of view, isn't it a point of no return for the little boy to sneak in?
Just thought the picture was beautiful. Pave the way for the later interaction with the little boy to buy words. The protagonist did not complete the sequel work, but also because of the lack of words. Speaking one's mother tongue is homesickness for foreigners.
Montage has appeared many times in the film, memory or fantasy, the transition is very natural, and the audience is naturally brought into that situational state to empathize with the director.
On the last day of the male protagonist, say goodbye to the nanny, daughter, dog, mother... If it is your last day, what is your last goodbye?
After several contacts, the little boy put down his guard and the two became close. The little boy said, "Although you are smiling, you are actually very sad." In the end, it was not a family member or a lover who could understand him, but a stranger, perhaps because he was in a similar situation, perhaps because he let go of his guard. Why is it often more difficult to communicate with the people around you?
It was a very lighthearted and cheerful scene, reminded of Renoir's painting, the sun was shining on people, and everyone was laughing happily. The color matching of the costumes in the film is very harmonious. Even in the scene with many people on the beach, the picture is very clean, and you can enjoy the beauty of photography.
The death of the friend who took the boy as a smuggler may mean the loss of his asylum.
A unique funeral with a strong sense of form.
Full of musical beauty. (must listen to the original sound) Oh! Celine! It's a pity you can't go together. oh! Celine! I'm so scared, oh! Celine! The ocean is so vast, where will you go? Where are we going? Even if there are dangerous peaks and mountains, police and soldiers, we never back down. Now I face the endless ocean. At night I saw my mother, sadness stood at the door, it was Christmas Eve, and the snow-covered bells rang loudly. Wish I could hear you talk about those ports...
Separation is imminent, two people with the same illness, the little boy is ready to embark on a journey, the future is uncertain, and he is alone. The male protagonist also faces death alone, the road of no return. "Stay with me", this is the request of the male protagonist, and his body language expresses his inner pain. This is the last warm journey for the two of them.
The chapter of life is staged in this carriage. Revolution, love, music, poetry... The male protagonists say goodbye one by one.
This is a rare happy moment for the two of them
The sense of form is said to be the hallmark of the director's work.
No matter how long the journey is, there is always a feast in the world. Say goodbye to the little boy, how long will the coin exchanged for this word accompany the boy?
At the intersection with the little boy, the cars behind were hurried forward, only the male protagonist stopped. Is this the nostalgia for life? At what point will we not be in a hurry? At what point do we stop to enjoy the flower of life?
As the poet said, the last clear morning star at dawn heralds the coming of the sun... Life is sweet. Death is inevitable, and so is life
what is tomorrow How long will it last tomorrow? What is the time?

Without the urgency of death, perhaps none of us would really think about it.

Eternity and a Day quotes

  • Alexandre: All passed by so quickly. This suspect pain... my stubbornness to want to learn,to want to know... then the darkness... the silence around me... the silence. All made me believe that before the end of winter with the ethereal silhouettes of the boats,and their sudden breakthroughs in the sky, with the lovers along the promenade,in the declining sun, and the hypocritical promise of the spring, all made me believe that before the end of winter... My only regret, Anna... but is it only one?... is not to have finished anything. I left it all as a draft, shattered words here and there.

  • Alexandre: I once asked you "how long will tomorrow last?" and you answered me: Eternity and a day.
