Two women in a man’s life, this story was written by the female writer Zhang Ailing. And the two men in a woman's life were written by Henri-Pierre Lozzi. He was a man, a seventy-four-year-old man, which was quite interesting. He needs two women, one as pure as moonlight and the other as passionate as flames. She also needs two men, one simple and persistent, unswerving, and sexy, unrestrained, free and full of temptation. Catherine’s charm comes from her Carmen-like attitude of freedom. She is never mobile and is faithful to her feelings at any moment. She does not abide by the rules of the game. She jumps off the Seine as she walks. She is always there. Action, she makes people puzzled, like a riddle, like a poison. Both Juul and Jim fell in love with her, both her mystery and her contempt. There is the courage and randomness to subvert everything in contempt. This is what Juul and Jim are looking for in the expressions of Greek statues. Catherine is freedom. Jule loves her with no self, as long as she is happy, as long as her life allows him to exist, he can do everything, tolerate everything, and is truly unrepentant. In the whole story, Jule never tells After a bad thing about Catherine, Jim said, you treat her as a queen, and Juul said that she is a queen. If Catherine is an ideal of life, then Juul has no hesitation in pursuing this ideal, and has never hesitated or betrayed. Jule is always there, always there, maybe because of this, Catherine leaves again and again, and comes back again and again. As for Jim, to some extent, he and Catherine have some homogeneity. He also has a lover who sticks to it and has no complaints. He is also headstrong, coming back if he wants to come back, and leaving if he wants to leave. There is a real competition between Catherine and Jim, because Juul has already surrendered to Catherine without a fight, and he is willing to be a slave without any suspense, but Jim can leave all the time, he has his own place to go. The war between two people is more than the ability to control each other by herself. Catherine thought that Jim could be like Juul. No matter what she did, she could win. But in the end, she lost. Because Jim is not Juul, he is not just for her, and he cannot live without her. When Jim returned to another woman, he found peace and security, without passion, and without such severe pain. He wanted to escape from this game. All he wanted was safety and stability, no more curiosity, no more adventures, no surprises, but no need to endure endless torture. However, he used another excuse. He said, Catherine, we have to think about whether we hurt anyone. Catherine lost her control for the first time, and she even pulled out a gun. She can't tolerate failure, and what she can't tolerate is a person's escape, using timid and grand excuses. Like Zhenbao, she cannot have red and white roses at the same time. She can't stop others from leaving. Violent and self-willed like her, driving towards the Seine, laughing at Yan Yan the first second, then calmly dying in the next second, Catherine's last look, is it victory, madness, collapse, or relief? Death puts an end to all entanglements and problems, and resolves all contradictions and pains. Movies that end with death have the most humorous form. This humor is not black humor, but sincere relaxation and joy. Except for "Juul and Jim", it seems that no movie can do this. Watching the opening of the movie, the silent funny clips, you will immediately understand the source of the banter in "Angel Emily" and "The Long Engagement". The characterization is comic style, and their actions are also comic style. Action after action, long shots followed by shooting, fast and smooth, conveying their information to the greatest extent, the narrator behind this, the characters themselves, are all in the game, the joy of life is full of joy. The film arranges a narrator, his eyes are on the progress of the situation, he also uses the attitude of the game to dissolve all this, his casual freedom is the same as the protagonist. In the second half of the film, when the characters are entangled, the superficial story style is still joking. The narrator is as usual. His narration hides the pain behind the story, just like Catherine's depression for a second. The face is charming and bright. The reversal of contradictions can be completed in an instant. The formal comicality was even retained until the end. After the two men died heroically, the film actually used a quick cut to tell the process of handling the remains. The uncovered coffin board instantly turned into ashes. In order to facilitate storage, the ashes It was smashed and placed in an urn, everything was as smooth as a factory assembly line, without sensationalism, and no emotion, just like the large-scale machine production of Chaplin's "Modern Times". This is still a dissolution, so much mental pain and torture, so many vivid colors, colorful, wind and happiness when running together, turned into such a substance, two boxes of ashes, Jule did not even feel heavy. , He felt relaxed for a while. At the end of the film, people really have reason to doubt whether this narrator is Juul himself? It was the kind of self-deprecating and harmonious transcendence that made him persist to the end instead of being engulfed and destroyed by passion? Ideals and ideal betrayers are destroyed, and those who are loyal to ideals survive. Funeral for them. Is it the same with Truffaut in New Wave movies? The ashes mashed into powder were once the free wind surging on the long bridge. We have to laugh to the end, laugh most presumptuously and freely, even if the moment before this smile is pain and unstoppable tears.
