When summer and long vacations come together, everyone has travel plans. Delphine, who originally had plans, suddenly missed the appointment, and the plans were in vain. The holidays are approaching day by day. , and at this time, the remaining Delphine became more and more upset...
This is the beginning of "Green Light", a situation that we often encounter in our lives. This opening made me take it for granted that this would be a movie about a romantic love story that happened on the road, but in the end, I found out that this is a story about a girl who knows herself and accepts herself.
Delphine is the girl in this story. She is contradictory and tangled. She wants to integrate but doesn't want to. She wants to pursue her own heart, but she can't bear the pain on the way. In such a real and vivid character, I see a lot of myself. shadow.
The opening episode is only to elicit Delphine's true heart. If there is no such episode, maybe she has been living like this, and there will be no problem, but with this episode, it can disrupt her rhythm and make her have to face it. all of these. In the face of the truth, she may escape or deny it at first, but with the deepening of understanding and the awakening of others, she will one day truly know herself, and at the same time, she will have to endure the pain and struggle that comes with it. Only through this process will she truly accept herself. This process is condensed into a ninety-minute story, which is Green Light.
The self-denial
At the afternoon tea party between Delphine and her friends, when faced with the definition given by her friends, Delphine tried her best to explain, but she felt very hurt at the same time. She did not admit her loneliness, nor did she admit the fact that the last relationship had passed, and even more so. She didn't admit that she was out of place. She said that her friends had too much power to speak, and that she had no chance to express herself, so no one understood her. But when her friends stopped and let her speak, it was difficult for her to say anything. I can only sit in the corner by myself and cry. The tears here may be because of Delphine's friend's incomprehension, because of the lack of vacation, or because he doesn't understand himself.
This scene was shot very well, the costumes of the four girls, one black, one white, one red and one green, with strong contrasts and distinct personalities, the friend's aggressive person was annoyed, and Delphine's conflict was tangled and the person watching was anxious.
2. Know yourself
When she was on vacation in the country house, Delphine and others at the same table discussed vegetarianism. This is the point in the movie. Delphine said the most, about why she doesn't eat meat and why she eats vegetarian food, she understands, In her heart, this is the first time she has been eloquent, talking non-stop, these words seem to be said to other people at the table, more like they are to Delphine herself, this discussion has made her acquainted Compared with the strong opposition in the previous scene, Delphine here finally saw himself in the eyes of his friends.
3. Pain and confusion
After getting to know herself, Delphine experienced a period of pain and confusion, so in a group outing, we saw her walking away alone, unable to bear the cry of loneliness; we also saw her who went to the mountains for a while, and then went back to Paris again. ;I also saw her who tried to be with strangers, chatted up with men, and finally ran away because of disgust......
4. Accept yourself
I kept thinking while watching it, how did Delphine begin to accept himself? At first, she thought it was when she heard other passengers talking about the green light, but after thinking about it, it should be when she ran away from the temporary team of four. For love, she has always been waiting, waiting for the so-called Love at first sight, the so-called romance is wonderful, whether it is fantasy or unrealistic, in short, it is not the kind of clear-cut love that has a dewy love that has no tomorrow. The road was too hard and too lonely. She couldn't bear the pain and loneliness, so she gave in. She tried to change herself and fit into the rhythm of others. Flirting, all she really felt was disgust, so she ran away, and Delphine, who ran away at that moment, really accepted herself. When she truly accepts herself, all encounters and romances become natural.
After reading the story of Four Seasons, I think Rohmer is a man who understands women better than women. He sees the unspeakable and nameless thoughts of women too thoroughly. In "Green Light", he leads the audience to watch Delphine walk all the way, from denying himself, to knowing himself, to pain and confusion, to the last touch of green The appearance of light allows the audience to see the joy of accepting themselves. This process is too heart-warming. The moment the sun sets on the horizon, the green light that appears on the horizon is actually what people are looking for in their hearts. It wasn't until the end that I realized that this is such a warm movie.
