4. A man with sunglasses walked to a car, lit a cigar, and the camera followed and zoomed in. The man ordered the driver to raise the roof of the car (the plot behind it echoed) and got on the car. The camera did not show the driver. He still stayed on the man wearing sunglasses. The man ordered the driver to go to the golf course. He kept repenting several times. Switched several times, but the mirrors were the same, the angle changed slightly, and the driver was never shown. Suddenly the man holds the steering wheel and the camera zooms out. The audience realizes that the driver is the man’s son. He reflects the man’s character while humorous, and makes the audience realize that this pair of father and son is different from the mother and daughter in the previous series of shots.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
From the series of shots above, we can see the author’s basic point of view (my Personally think), men are more active, adventurous, and interesting; women are more passive and gentler. The story of Little Red Riding Hood told at the beginning of the movie reflects the weak side of women, and the shots on the street also reflect the femininity to some extent. Judging from the time allocated for the shots, the time allocated for men is more allocated.
===============================
black and white paragraph
1. At night, the camera followed the woman hurriedly sending her daughter to the school gate, leaving to catch the train. The camera stops briefly where the woman disappeared. (28 seconds)
2. Two women appeared from the door, one was a school teacher and the other was a parent. The teacher sends the parents to the car (obviously rich, because there is a dedicated driver. Tucao, this driver actually wears sunglasses at night), and the camera follows the movement of the car back to the place where the woman disappeared. The car that the audience was already familiar with drove in and stopped at the school gate. At this time, from the conversation between the father and the teacher, the audience learned that the father was lying about the child opening the roof of the car, and the teacher knew the father’s character very well. After the greeting, the father lowered the roof of the car while starting the car (it can reflect his feelings for the child. This is a detail that can be ignored if not analyzed in this way), the teacher found that the woman had not caught up with the ship, so he briefly introduced and the woman hitchhiked vehicle. (112 seconds)
-------------------
This bridge of acquaintance still reflects the helplessness of this single mother. She does not have her own driver and often misses the train to send her children. In a sense, this is very close to reality.
=================================
(Because the angle of lens switching is more, and it is not as regular as Hollywood blockbusters It can be followed, most of it is emotional, so I don’t just analyze the shots, but divide it into paragraphs for general analysis)
3. From the time the woman gets in the car to the first memory. (4 minutes 22 seconds)
First of all, men are very regular on "Do you often miss the train" and "Do you always get a free ride" ask questions, we learned that women often miss the train, but this can be a free ride It is very lucky. The two quickly established a kind of relationship, that is, the relationship of dependence and being dependent. But for the point of hitchhiking, women are dependent on men.
Later, the two began to introduce their children. Women's children did not perform well, and men's children did not perform well, but for different reasons. Men’s children are smart but don’t work hard, while women’s children are for other reasons.
From this detail, we can also see the director’s point of view. Men usually do not learn well when they are young, but it is because of their playfulness and their instinctive curiosity to explore the world. But when they grow up, men will start their own careers. Become the backbone of this society; women are usually docile and obedient, and may work hard when they are young, but since the rules of this society are basically set by men, girls cannot adapt well.
Then, the woman asked to turn on the radio, which was playing Eddie Piaf’s songs, and the woman laughed. A man observes a woman’s profile, because he has not had a fixed partner for a long time, he feels lonely, and also because of a certain sense of superiority, the man asks questions (before asking, gives a close-up of a man’s face, music matches) you are married ? This was a turning point, and the two finally inevitably talked about marriage. Due to the light, only two people can be seen illuminated in the darkness, which is also very consistent with the psychological environment at the time. In the dark rainy night, only the communication between the two is left. The two confessed the status of their marriage, and both were married, but did not elaborate further. The man continues to ask, what does your husband do.
================================
The fragment of a woman remembering her husband: (9 minutes 35 seconds) the

are very dramatic. The show shows a few angles of a western cowboy (an allusion to a western movie), and the audience may be at a loss. Vision is very vague and hints that this is shooting Levi's jeans ad.

Black and White
The woman's eyes suggest that the woman is immersed in memories, very sad. The woman seemed to be offended when she left. (The character of a woman is very direct, she will tell the truth to strangers, and her memories are mostly details and atmosphere. This is a very accurate character of a woman) A woman seems to have forgotten who the man is, and even forgot that the two of them just met. , Thinking that the man has his own phone. But the important thing is that the two finally have a fixed contact method. Farewell, the end of this paragraph.
================================
Test drive paragraph (9 minutes)
followed by a paragraph, the man almost rushed to the test drive site overnight , Started working non-stop.
This section shows a man’s work. From the voice-over, I learned that a man is a racer and will participate in an important race in the near future. Rolling down the wheel) In the
movie, when the car is driving at high speed, the man takes his hand off the steering wheel, and there is also the scene of debugging the car with a technician. The sport of motor racing is absolutely male.
In the sense, the audience feels that at most two days have passed, but in fact a whole week has passed. The man calls the woman, and the man looks out the window. A racing car gallops past, naturally moving to the next scene: the familiar car Red sports car driving into the screen. End of this paragraph.
================================
Men talk about themselves (5 minutes and 10 seconds) The
two of them are together as said before Go to visit the child. The weather is bad. The two were in the car and heard a bad news. A man and a woman died in a car accident.
Women are like men asking what work they do. Because in the front, the audience already knows the man’s working status (technical, boring) very clearly, so he can tell at a glance that the man is lying: black and white paragraphs, jazz music, dramatic moves.
The film continues to remind viewers, emphasizing the difference between men and women, including later when a man drove a sports car and splashed water on passers-by, all plots are reminded and reminded.

meal (9 minutes) The
woman continued to ask the man’s work, then the man showed His attitude is that he is not keen to talk about his work. A woman's job is a director, and she is not well-known. The author is using a woman's mouth to express his views: My job is not serious, but true.
In this paragraph, the man and the woman have slight physical contact, and the man puts his hand on the back of the woman's chair. The atmosphere is very ambiguous, and as the woman said, this ambiguous atmosphere is very real, especially when the child is still sitting opposite them.

rowing (5 minutes and 40 seconds)
background music is entered, this paragraph is the most in the whole film Moving, the relationship between the two stayed at an ambiguous stage, the sky was clear and the scenery was charming. Especially the voice-over dialogue, which completely ignited the beautiful desire for life (it is simply wonderful!) When the dialogue began, the camera was zoomed to the big perspective, and it only appeared this time in this film. Only this pair of men, women and children in the big vision seems to imply that they need each other to live a better life.
The subsequent series of scenery and the car moving along the river are hinting that the two have drove back. The next dialogue about the sculptor Giacometti was conducted in the car, still praising life, life is above all else. No one will refuse happiness, which is almost the theme of this movie. (Film, this art form full of "deception" can still be used to eulogize reality. The reality here does not refer to the experience in real life, but another kind of reality expressed by the director after being refined. This is in It is very precious in European movies)

Black and white inside the car (20 seconds)
The man holds the woman’s hand, and the woman’s expression is slightly indifferent. This long shot is very awkward. Under the dark background, the woman’s expression is very cruel (how can you bear to be so indifferent!) but the woman said, "You haven't talked about you yet." Wife". The audience can also understand that, after all, women are disadvantaged, and women must be wary of this to ensure that they will not be deceived. The man was silent for a while

Wife’s face is colored in
memory, warm gray
man talks about wife (8 minutes ) In
the first scene of the memory, the wife is calling "I love you, I will always love you". From a man's point of view, he can not see his wife's face, but the memories, there was his wife's face, and is colored (it may be the last man to see his wife, his wife heard the sound impression)
When starting When describing the incident, the picture turned to warm gray, and the man's subjective perspective was rotating, so it can be guessed that the man was in a bad state at the time.
It is also a man’s imagination to change from a man’s subjective perspective to a television picture watched by his wife at home.
The ambulance drove, and the man was sent to the hospital to rescue the woman. After learning the news, he waited at the entrance of the hospital. It's still a man's imagination: the switching of a series of shots indicates the passage of time, and at the same time it seems a bit neurotic. The background sound keeps on sounding the sound of cars driving, and the game continues. At the same time, it is also explained that the emergency room is next to the runway. Therefore, under a reasonable premise, it gives people a sense of tension.
The next picture shows the doctor pushing the man out of the emergency room, seeming to tell the man’s ex-wife a bad news, but the report from the broadcast does not match the picture. The audience learns that the woman is insane, so the contents of the picture change again. The fantasy plot of the man's ex-wife also led to her suicide.
Go to the car to continue the game screen, the transition to the wipers, it began to rain
(front man reluctant to mention his work has also been explained, because men think his wife's suicide is their own fault)
------ －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－In
black and white car (1 minute)
The faces of the two of them were clear and fuzzy through the wiper, and the sound of the wiper was disturbing.
At this time, there was a bad news that the man was going to participate in the game again (the audience had already known it before, but now it has a different meaning to mention it again). Because the weather is so bad, the man is likely to be seriously injured again, and the woman's ex-husband also died at work, so this parting paved the way for the woman's sudden confession later.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－The
first paragraph of analysis is so far. Thank you for watching.
