European youth
Let 'Auberge espagnole "(also known as" Euro Pudding ") the last part of the movie to start. The French youth Savet ended his one-year study abroad life in Barcelona and returned to Paris. He and his girlfriend (played by Audrey Tortu, the protagonist of "Angel Loves the Beautiful") met in an outdoor cafe on the corner of the street. They looked at each other politely and cautiously,
and talked : "Why do you say that?"
"Because I feel painful, you said that you love me at that time, I was so happy... But when you are in pain, you need to vent your emotions."
Then they smiled Hug and say goodbye. Sawei said in his heart, I know this is the last hug. He recalled that he and his girlfriend fell in love on the side of a small Parisian street at first (Why do I always think of the movie "August 32"? Those two people are also in a deserted alley Here, there is no one in the other world). The two walked far away along the forked street. Sawei shed tears in the crowd, and an Asian girl pointed the camera in her hand at him. He asked a few young people playing on the street: Are they foreign students? Sawei realized that he had lived among a group of foreigners in the past year, and how ordinary it is now; for him, he no longer needs to talk to anyone about his inner experience and pain.
In the past year, Sawei said goodbye to his girlfriend and Paris, which he was familiar with, and went to Spain to study for the first time. He has experienced everything that international students have to experience: contacting schools, finding a house, meeting friends, and so on. Thawe lives in a house in Barcelona with a group of young Europeans. There are Germans, British, Italians, Danes, and a local Spanish. Sawei called this temporary apartment the "Spanish Hotel". He met a beautiful female classmate who was gay. He discussed sex with her. Sawei took the opportunity of his doctor friend to be busy and walked with the doctor's girlfriend. The life of studying abroad in Barcelona allowed Sawei to break through sexual taboos and complete a man's ritual. Sawei is a very contradictory person. He has a harder life than his classmates-this is not about life itself. This movie also has a name called "European Pudding", which seems to present a slice of the entire European youth. However, from Sawei, especially the story of his completion of his studies, I think this is a movie about their belonging. After a year of confusion, turbulence, and all kinds of impulsive and chaotic life, Sawei returned to his original self, and realized that he was ordinary—perhaps he really realized what he should do.
At the end of the movie, Sawei wears a suit and goes to work at the company. When he returned home, he decided not to go to work and to be a writer. I think this movie is very real, not just showing the life of studying abroad, but the life of the student changing the role of a social person. Their turmoil and pursuit, yearning and disappointment, there is a particularly pure and youthful thing. . However, Sawei's ending made me feel the director's wishful thinking. Can Sawei really be a good writer? No one can answer. I remember an interview with economic figures I just watched. I forgot who it was. In short, when the program summarized, the reason why this boss can reach such a high place is that the first is the solid foundation of his student days, and the second is from The speed at which students transform into social and professional people is very fast and accurate (the third is how to succeed, I forgot, it seems that it is not easy to succeed, ha ha). From a personal point of view, I have never liked people who are too student. There are many people who have been unable to get out of their personal world. When they encounter this powerful and complicated society at first glance, they immediately shrink back to their original world. Sawei is probably an example. Everyone has to go out, and Sawei is probably an extremely rare case.
I think the biggest unreliability is that I don’t believe that writing is such a simple thing (of course this is related to my own writing attitude). Now, in addition to paper, the Internet also provides a more convenient method for personal communication. However, there is still a difference between the desire to talk and the desire to express strongly. Not everyone firmly believes in what Rilke says and writes, otherwise die. The power of words, writing, and writers ultimately depends on determination like this. "Pola X" filmed by the talented French director Caraxes is a story about writing and how to write. He showed me the secret that has been circulating for a long time: first live, then write. I really didn't expect a Frenchman to express the Russian theme so clearly and purely, yes, with firmness. The secret about the family that the protagonist (also a writer) has obtained, he is not to escape, but to let this secret take himself as far as possible. Never restrain yourself. So in the end, he stuffed the gun into the man's mouth and pulled the trigger. The manuscript was already insignificant on the road.
By the way, this is the fourth movie I have watched starring Audrey Tortu—maybe it can’t be said to be the leading role. In this movie, she is just a supporting role, but compared with the previous three, it’s still not Out of standard. "Angels Love Beauty", "Wonderful Girl", "Butterfly Flapping Wings", my favorite is "Butterfly Flapping Wings", in this movie she is unlucky everywhere, but like a Leo woman, she completely bears it , And ushered in an inevitable miracle given by chance. This is the reason why I like this movie the most. Every time I see the face of this girl born in 1978, I think there is no unfortunate person in the world, only waiting for the miracle.
