From 1983 to 1991, Leo Carax spent 8 years and 3 films, only stating one fact: love has no tomorrow.
"Boy Meets Girl", Alex stabbed a knife into Mirella's chest; "Bad Blood", Alex was killed by an American woman's men, leaving only Lisa's tears and Anna's running; "New Bridge Lovers" ", Alex and Michelle didn't die, they set foot on a sand ship far away from Paris together, it seems that Alex's love can finally come to a successful end, but the story of Karax is not over yet, "Lovers in the New Bridge" "After the filming, he and Juliette Binoche jointly declared the death of each other's love. At the end of the "Crazy Love Trilogy", Karax abandoned Alex, who was regarded as his shadow in the movie, and used His own story fulfilled the fact that he had always believed in.
Karaxian love is an atypical love at first sight, and even "at first sight" can be omitted. In "Boy Meets Girl", Alex just heard Mirella's voice on the walkie-talkie. In "Bad Blood", Alex just saw Anna's figure through the glass of the subway car, and then he fell in love with her. So, "he loves her, but she doesn't love him" has become the curse in these two movies. The casual love that seems to come at random is accompanied by this curse and eventually leads to the inevitable The ending - death.
If I can't get your love, then I can only choose death, or use death to move your heart.
But I prefer to believe that Alex's love is complex and changeable. He still loved Florence, because he would steal a few records and leave them quietly at her door; he also loved Lisa, "As if we had never loved, never kissed, never touched. "Writing such a sentence on a letter is a symptom of deep love. But he still couldn't help being infatuated with Mirella and Anna.
Passive, involuntary infatuation is the source of all evil. And Alex, is the maker, perpetrator, and ultimate victim of evil.
If a comparison is to be made, Alex in Bad Blood is undoubtedly the most tragic of the trilogy. At the beginning of the story, it seems that he is so lucky, he is not as mediocre as in "Boy Meets Girl", and he is not as down as in "New Bridge Lovers", he has a pair of dry, stable and fast hands, which allows him to Doing things a lot of people can't, he has a young and beautiful girlfriend Lisa, and a cool motorcycle to go for a ride. And the only unfortunate thing is that he fell in love with Anna. He was so madly infatuated with Anna and her every move, but to Anna, he was just "Only you can save Mark", a tool to save her lover - this is the fate that Karax arranged for him, There is no escape from the beginning, and the end is doomed from the beginning.
When Alex completed his task, he refused to receive treatment and chose to die, because he knew that he was not even a tool for Anna at this time.
Death was his only and final revenge against Anna.
Karax has said that he doesn't associate with Godard-because he once starred in a Godard movie and Godard didn't pay him-but that doesn't mean he doesn't like Godard's movies, In fact, Karax’s films have inextricable traces of Godard—like the inexhaustible oil stains on an apron, the indelible clouds in the sky. Frame skipping, zooming, slow motion, split sound, wobbly cameras... everything seemed to jump out of Godard's camera. What's more, the close-up of Juliette Binoche in "Bad Blood" is a direct tribute to Godard's "Every Man for Himself". In "Everyone for Himself", Godard dedicated the most affectionate close-up to Isabelle Huppert, who was only 25 years old at the time, and in "Bad Blood", Carax dedicated the same affectionate affection to the 22-year-old. Juliette Binoche, at that time Juliette Binoche's face was young and immature, like a freshly baked cake, and it was covered with love.
