Nelly wore a red dress bought back from Paris with her husband Johnny, with a pair of black heel shoes, two red lips, With curly hair, low chanting, graceful high pitch, Johnny looked at the person in front of him uncertainly at first. When Nelly sang the second paragraph, the originally slightly jerky voice seemed to return to London overnight, back to the war. On the eve of returning to their beautiful marriage, that one "low——" sang beautifully.
But the piano sound stopped abruptly.
Phoenix, the phoenix, can also be referred to as a phoenix. The word appeared on the signboard of the entertainment area on the ruins long after the beginning of the movie. The sign was hung with strings of small light bulbs, and the infatuation red light overflowed from the two doors, watching the officer flirting with the nakedly dressed woman at the door. , Nelly stepped hesitantly.
Looking back now, I think this picture is quite meaningful—Phoenix, Nelly, rebirth from the ashes, the emptiness after the war, the labyrinth once again set up in life.
It can be said that Nelly is Phoenix, but what about it. Things are people and everything. Johnny went from being a suave pianist to a bartender doing dirty work as a handyman. Those hands that used to jump on the black and white keys Ah, Nelly was so deeply stung by this scene to clean up the rubbish on the table for others in a low voice; but of course she would not have thought of the impermanence of fate. Behind this, she was waiting even more heartbreaking in waiting for her already bruised and bruised. she.
I have seen a film about this film before, titled "The Darkness That Can’t Face Directly". Although this article has serious spoilers for me who hadn’t watched the film at the time, I have to say that the author’s point of view is good: everyone has a good heart. There was darkness that could not be faced directly. Lene could not tolerate the world's forgiveness of Nazi atrocities. Johnny could never mention him who had betrayed his wife in those dark days. Friends also had all kinds of darkness that could not bear to look back.
Nelly agreed with joy and a little sadness to pretend to be Johnny’s late wife—that is, herself. He said that she didn’t walk like Nelly, she shrank and shrank, and his Nelly should look forward to walking with wind; she smiled Seeing her former red dress and shoes, he asked carefully whether these shoes were also bought from Paris; he said you have to imitate these original photos, and of course she wrote "exactly the same" without any effort... everything Everything is for her to love him, and she wants to return to him.
Johnny felt the time had come, and told Nelly the plan he had prepared with all his heart. Nelly thinks this is impossible, because no one can show up in front of his old friend as brightly as he thought after escaping from the concentration camp, so she can no longer control herself, she choked up and said in restraint: "We are naked. , Sitting on the wooden beams, searching the clothes of the newcomers, the guards are standing by, we have to find the checks or hidden jewelry, and then...there is a girl the size of, this girl looks at me... …Look at me...she is wearing her mother’s dress." Nelly forced herself to squeeze out the arc of her laugh. Johnny interrupted her. Nelly then explained that she had read the story in a book.
"I saw it in the book."
Such shocking words, among them, there are complex sentiments towards her husband, the kind that tells you I am Nelly, but you don't believe it, the kind that you don't know how to live in a concentration camp. The cruel pain, the kind of complicated sentiment that you spent all your hardships trying to seize my inheritance. It seems that Nelly has changed so much from the state of being full of love for her husband, which made the audience anxious. Of course, this passage is also an accusation of the cruel and inhumane atrocities of the Nazis.
"Time is so old and love so brief.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
We're late darling,we're late.
The curtain descends,everything ends.
I wait darling,I wait.
Will you speak low to me.
Speak love to me and soon."
Nelly’s voice touched the heart of an old friend. Johnny saw the Auschwitz concentration camp’s unique number on her arm because the sleeves were lifted, what would you say? He couldn’t say it. He couldn’t play the piano anymore. He finally understood why such a woman who looked like a dead wife appeared in front of him. She wrote words like Nelly, and kept asking about Nelly’s past. Did he betray his wife? Why, she would sing Speak Low so much like the old Nelly.
Nelly looked at Johnny who was silent and could hear God’s old friend, picked up the bag and walked out the door, she Knowing the truth, she believed in the last words of Lene who committed suicide. She gave the last song, To marriage, to the friendship of the year, to Lene, to herself.
To Phoenix.
