At the same time, the director is adhering to the continuation of the new wave, and there is not much dramatic conflict in the creation of the story, and many plots in the film are fractured, such as the mother's lover on the way home, and a few young people who suddenly broke out. Intercepted and beaten, the director did not explain the cause and effect.
This incomplete narrative technique makes the audience involuntarily think about why, try to capture the details of the film, and explore whether a certain logic of the director is implied.
However, there is no logic, just like the great-grandmother in the film suddenly broke a string while playing the harp. When you think about whether this is a sign, in fact, it means that in our daily life, we accidentally slipped while walking and bit our tongue while eating. as simple as
"First Kiss" depicts a picture of youth. Youth, for us, always likes to put the word "beautiful" on it. In fact, about memory is like a filter, which keeps the good and hides the bad. When encountering setbacks and unhappiness, take out the selected happiness for comfort, sigh and sigh the beauty and innocence of youth.
In the film, the heroine Wei is 13 years old, hormones begin to work in the body, eager to get the attention of boys, and discuss topics such as dating and boyfriends with female partners in class. When a boy invites them to a party, the ecstatic demeanor is palpable.
In France in the 1980s, these 14- and 15-year-olds had already started to organize queues, roller skating and watching movies in their spare time. In contrast, our generation is still worrying about whether or not to go to another home to grab a TV at the same age during this period.
And Wei is also worried, eager to join the party, but was coldly received by her parents. The little girl sees this as indifference, and can only tell her inner anguish to her enlightened great-grandmother. The great-grandmother in the film is open-minded and optimistic. She is not young but likes racing cars. She is the most romantic woman.
She is Wei's life mentor, teaching herself the wisdom of life. In fact, in the story, the French parents are enlightened. They do not interfere in the party activities, but at the end of the party, they wait in line downstairs to pick up their children.
Wei met her little boyfriend Maffei at the party, but this should not be love, but a hazy yearning born of hormones. The open ending arranged at the end of the director's film seems to indicate this.
Youth is pure and beautiful, but most of the time is depressing. Those moments of joy cannot fill the restless heart. The boy's immaturity makes Wei always wander between laughter and loneliness. She was melancholy and sad when she received the cold reception from her little boyfriend, and then she was ecstatic for a small gift.
When her great-grandmother took her to her love, Wei complained to her little boyfriend: "I paid so much and took so many risks, and I ended up hiding in this smelly box and lying on a deflated bed. Is the pad with the man?"
Seeing this, girls are indeed more mature than boys, but this is not love. When Maffei and her father had a misunderstanding and punched her father, Wei clapped and applauded, as if to celebrate her man's bravery.
This has to be reminiscent of the animal world, where males duel each other for mating rights, and females wait aside, waiting for the winning side. This analogy seems somewhat inappropriate.
For another example, when adolescent children are ignorant and ignorant, the object of their reverie often chooses the powerful group, like those little hooligans, there is always no shortage of girls behind their butts. In this period of cognition, aggressiveness seems to get more attention. This is the result of instinctive consciousness driven in the early stage of sexual consciousness. When we get older, civilized society will tell us that money is the symbol of strength!
So first love is vulnerable. At the end of the story, after Wei and Murphy danced a dance, they immediately hugged another handsome guy, which is unavoidable. The director seems to have ruined the beauty and made the audience have to re-examine the movie. want to express what.
And the French romance and love concept contained in the film have to be explored from adults. At the beginning of the story, the teacher asked the students to fill in the family information. Wei's friends teased that their parents were divorced and did not know which home address to fill in.
At that time, the divorce rate in France was evident, and the director seemed to be worried about it, but the film finally found a solution.
In the story, Wei's parents also had problems in their married life. Father Richard took the lead in cheating and secretly developed a lover. He wanted to give up after a short spring night, but his lover entangled him, causing the old man to fall into a whirlpool of happiness and distress.
There is no dramatic conflict in the film, but Richard feels exhausted after lying one after another, and simply confesses everything, begging for forgiveness from his wife Vasi. After knowing the truth, Vasi naturally couldn't take it calmly, and smashed a third-party cosmetics store with her grandmother.
While living apart, Vase and her daughter's German teacher started dating, but didn't do anything eccentric, and the relationship between the husband and wife was warming up. But because of some small misunderstandings, the wife's fake lover has become a real lover, and divorce seems to be inevitable.
But in the end, when Vase and the German teacher were about to go to the beach for a vacation, Richard followed him all the way to the airport, and moved his wife with a sincere heart.
The two looked at each other in the restaurant, and her husband Richard's slightly embarrassed and shy smile drew an end to the French adult view of love.
The director's solution is incomprehensible to us, and derailment seems to be a trivial matter. However, in the eyes of the French, sex and love should be separable. As long as there is love, no other grievances can become obstacles.
This is also a factor that makes Paris, France, a romantic capital, but this view of love is too advanced. The movie "First Kiss" was released in 1980. France had such an avant-garde concept 40 years ago. I don't know what France is today. I really want to see it.
