What touched me?

A famous film, watch it with expectation when you find it.
Unexpectedly, it was actually a three-act musical. The first two acts were wondering why Almodova and Hitchcock, which I like, liked this one. Probably they all like to use artificial scenery. "Umbrellas" are full of well-designed aesthetic scenes. The opening subtitles are the most beautiful and poetic opening I have seen. The overhead shot shows the rhythmic raining of various umbrellas on the streets in the rain, sometimes single, sometimes double , Sometimes in twos and threes, sometimes in groups. The picture is really beautiful. The costumes of the characters in each scene, especially the costumes of girls and mothers, are extremely saturated, colorful and elegant, lined with another bright interior decoration color, which is pleasing to the eye. Every line is sung, and it is a daily tune, filled with a nostalgic elegance.
However, the plot is too old and simple, right? You can guess the ending scene from the beginning. Why do so many masters fall over?
In the third act, the host who already has a wife and son revealed a gas station. On Christmas Eve, in the heavy snow, his ex-girlfriend, who was married and married, brought their daughters to cheer. By chance, without any exaggerated expressions or actions, the man only gently invited her into the store. The two people who had been in love with each other were strange and embarrassed. The woman suddenly said to her daughter in the car outside the window: "She looks like you in many places. Would you like to see her?" The man glanced at his daughter, but shook his head: "No need."
Suddenly, I realized that it was already It's tears in a face!
The next day, when I was having dinner with my friends, I suddenly thought of this scene. He asked: Why are your eyes red?
Perhaps, the effort lies in being able to tell a clichéd story deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Half of its success lies in the aesthetic sentiment of the scene, and half must be connected with the audience's life experience. Imagine that when you first love, who doesn't want to last forever, wishing you and me would knead together into one? When sharing the arms of others, there is hatred and resentment, but happiness can also be achieved. However, this happiness was not given by the person who had previously agreed. When I met again, it was already indifferent. It burned extremely warmly, and died extremely coldly. Thinking back to the heart and soul of the two when they fell in love, goodbye to the strangers at the end of the world at this time, why the love?
I think, to realize its goodness, at least I have had a few love affairs.

    This movie is stupid, undisputedly the stupidest Palme d'Or in history; the characters don't talk like they sing, they sing like they talk; Deneuve's close-up is as unwatchable as Hepburn, too ugly.

    The French song and dance version of Yan Nanfei, Jacques Demi's helpless sighs and poignant singing, the young Deneuve is really the number one beauty, and the reunion at the end, fixed everything in the winter when love became the past.
