Dew marriage, no end and no fruit

Speaking of the name Milos Foreman, most people may be unfamiliar, but when it comes to several of his masterpieces - "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Mozart Biography" and "Sex Book Tycoon", many people will feel like thunder.

"Blonde Love" is Milos Foreman's second work, born in the new wave of Czech cinema, and was nominated for the Oscar for best foreign language film that year.

To be honest, the play of this film is actually quite ordinary, even a little rough, but with the director's excellent composition and scene scheduling skills, the film has a very moving comedy effect on top of the rough play.

Yes, it's a comedy.

In the eyes of many creators, the difficulty of creating comedies is higher than that of dramas, and it is not an easy task to grasp the subtleties of comedy. Because of this, most of the comedy masters we know are born with extremely high comedy talents, such as Chaplin, Keaton, and Stephen Chow. They are all so-called comedy geniuses.

In "Blonde Love", Foreman showed outstanding comedic talent.

In the dance scene, a lot of laughter broke out.

At the dance, one of the three middle-aged soldiers tried to hide his ring before inviting the young girl to dance, but accidentally let the ring slip, so the ring started rolling around on the dance floor, and the middle-aged soldier stared at the ring all the way. run. As a result, the ring rolled to the feet of the girls at the opposite table. The helpless middle-aged soldier could only squat down to pick it up, but the girls blocked his feet intentionally or unintentionally. In the end, he could only get under the table.

This is an embarrassing scene. The funny expressions and actions of the middle-aged soldiers, coupled with the girls' deliberately making things difficult, create a very comical scene. And this form of comedy effect is independent of the text, and can only be presented perfectly when the image is combined with the proper performance. In other words, it's a comedic effect that's unique to the movie.

Such shots, and a few more, will probably make the viewer smile.

The funny thing is that even though it's a comedy movie, and some scenes do make you laugh, when you watch the whole movie, you don't laugh very much. This is because Foreman has added an element of irony to his works, and when irony is added to love, it becomes vain and bitter.

As the protagonist of the title, Andura, the blonde, is actually an overly naive character with overly romantic ideas about love. In the eyes of the wandering young pianist, spending a night together is just a dewy marriage that is not new in his life, but in her opinion, she has met her true son.

Andura, who was obsessed with the pianist, decided to go to Prague to find him. She got in the car and found the house of the young pianist, but it was his parents who opened the door. At this time, the young man was chatting happily with the young girl at the dance.

This comparison certainly highlights the girl's innocence and the pianist's ruthlessness, but it is the parents of the youth who really bring out the irony, more precisely, the mother of the youth.

The young pianist's mother hated seeing Andura, thinking her visit was disrespectful and ruined the good after-dinner time. She kept nagging, complaining, and said a lot of prickly words in front of the girl. As the night wore on, the mother was still talking, but the pianist's father and Andura were sleepy.

At this time, the scene constantly repeats simple positive and negative fights, and with the content of the lines, the comedy effect comes out again, and a faint sense of irony also breeds.

So the story continues with this momentum. When the pianist got home and understood everything, he was a little surprised, and explained something to Andura in a very unreliable manner. His mother took him to her room and prevented him from sleeping with Andura. The family of three began to nag again in the bedroom.

Andura got up, walked outside the door to listen, heard all the words inside the door, and finally, all the dramatic power she had accumulated burst out with her tears, and the camera was frozen at that moment, the irony was extremely strong.

Of course, Milos Forman is a director who grew up in the new wave of Czech films. Combined with the background of the era under the control of the Soviet Union, "Blonde Love" also seems to convey a broader meaning, the psychology of the characters in the film. The state is probably the representative psychological state of the times, just like the impatient desire of the middle-aged soldiers to spend the spring night with the young girl, full of obscenity.
