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 film is actually not sweet at all, it's just an abusive essay...

    7.1/10 [Jacques Demi×1] I really like the combination of umbrellas and cobblestone paths in the opening title, the title is pleasing to the eye, and the soundtrack is so beautiful that I am intoxicated. Although it is a musical, there are only songs and no dances. It is a very novel experience to sing the lines throughout I didn't think there was a great aria. The use of color in this film is really a feast for the eyes, and each frame is beautiful like a painting. But the plot is really cliché, but it perfectly interprets the reunion in the snow at the ending of "the person you love the most is not the most suitable person for you" is very tear-jerking. I said that I destroyed the three views because I couldn't get the male protagonist at all, and I couldn't understand the behavior of the male protagonist who knew that he might be gone forever and still got the female protagonist's body the night before. After learning that the female protagonist was pregnant, he wrote back and said Infrequently let the heroine feel disheartened and come back, it's okay to blame the heroine for being unkind. The heroine is also the kind of silly girl that love drives her head. I'm tired.
