Les parapluies de Cherbourg (1964) This
film won the Palme d'Or at the 17th Cannes Film Festival in 1964.
The film tells the love story of a man and a woman. The heroine and heroine are a couple and are in love, but the heroine's mother disagrees with her daughter's premature love and marriage. The heroine's mother runs an umbrella shop and maintains the family. One day, my mother received a huge bill. In order to pay, my mother had to sell jewelry. The mother and daughter met a man willing to help them in the jewelry store. This man made a very good impression on her mother. At this time, the hero and heroine are preparing to get married, but when the war approaches, the hero is drafted into the army, and they have to meet each other a few years later. Then they had a relationship. Before the actor left, he entrusted the godmother who took care of him to a girl who always took care of the godmother. Not long after the heroine left, the heroine found out that she was pregnant. At the same time, the man who was willing to help their mother and daughter made a marriage proposal to the heroine. The heroine did not agree at first, but after waiting for two years, the heroine still married the man. One year later, the actor returned from the army but found that the heroine had moved away, and then learned everything from the girl who took care of the godmother. This makes the actor very sad, he has no intention of working, and has fun with prostitutes. After the godmother died soon, the hero was even more sad, and he hoped that the girl would stay with him. A few years have passed. The male protagonist and the girl have become husbands and wives, and the children are no longer young. They used the inheritance of their godmother to open a gas station and live happily. On Christmas Day, the heroine came to the hero’s gas station to refuel, and chatted after seeing each other. So the actor learns that the heroine's mother has passed away and his child is already very big, but the actor refuses to see the children. Finally, the heroine leaves silently, while the heroine is happily with his wife and children.
This film is very ordinary, telling a tragic love story that is now clichéd, that is, love is no match for reality. That is, a beautiful beauty who is pregnant and financially embarrassed, meets a handsome and considerate man who is Duo Jin. Under the beating of his mother, he can't resist the material desire and cruel real world, and finally abandons the love he has always been loyal. The development of the story is like a concise version of Qiong Yao's love story, too clichéd and too patterned. In addition, the main theme of the film is to present the story, with no comment on the choice of the male and female protagonists. In short, the movie is very simple in terms of plot and theme, and it cannot give people any deep thinking.
The only thing about the film is that there is no dialogue in the whole film, and all the plots are performed through singing, which is also unique in this film. I didn't know something about the film before watching the movie, and felt that the way the movie was used was very unique. But after it really looks, it feels very awkward. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if you sing when you express your feelings, but it’s not normal to sing even words like "hello"! This is not the case in the normal human world. In addition, because the film was shot in the 1960s, the music style of the film is also not liked by modern audiences. Although it's not terrible, but I can't feel the beauty. In short, the film is very unique in expression, and the talent of the director is also worth admiring, but for me who likes modern musicals, this film does not suit my taste.
The filming is very beautiful. Movie colors, costumes, props, scenery, and the use of images are all creating an unrealistic illusion, creating a poetic romance and beauty. Especially the movie’s use of color, the colorful wallpapers in the room, the gorgeous costumes of the heroine and mother, and the uniquely decorated shops on the streets all look colorful. What a colorful world! However, such a world does not exist in real life. In addition, other aspects of the movie are quite satisfactory, and because of the story of the movie, the story scenes in this film are not big, it is like an indoor drama.
Another famous feature of this film is that it is the famous work of the heroine Catherine Deneuve. Catherine Deneuve's acting skills in this film are very mediocre, but the exquisite appearance is unforgettable, it is hard to describe in words, I can only say: it's so beautiful! And Catherine Deneuve's figure in the film is also very good, it is difficult to connect with her now bloated figure. It turns out that Catherine Deneuve was so beautiful when she was young! There is another beauty Ellen Farner in the film. Her appearance is not inferior to Catherine Deneuve. Unfortunately, there is too little information and it is difficult to find a photo. The actors in the film all play soy sauce, not to mention it.
in conclusion. This is a song and dance film that lags behind the times. It may have swept the world in the era when the film was released, and has a good reputation in France, but now it can't be ordinary anymore. Only Catherine Deneuve's beautiful face is worth seeing.
