The bad luck of a good person makes people pity, and the bad guy makes a fool to make people laugh. This is a wonderful sentence in a film review, which reveals the laws of human nature and the techniques commonly used in films.
One of the great sufferings of life is poverty. Not only are they poor, they are also unemployed, and the two fathers have lost their jobs one after another, cutting off their source of livelihood. Not only are they unemployed, but they can't find a job. Not only can they not find a job, they are beaten by hooligans. Furniture, TVs and cars, where is this movie, it's a torture for kindness. Fortunately, the heroine is a brave and strong person. She took the knife from the alcoholic chef and began to show this quality of facing difficulties. In the face of repeated hopes and blows, never give up. In the end, when she opened the restaurant, she was timid, "what if you lose it", because not only the hope of her husband and wife, but also the family property of her friends and another blow to her friends were lost. The restaurant opened and no one came, and the collective eagerness and anxious eyes pushed the emotions up. At this time, I thought that if the director made these lovely and kind people unlucky again, I would not watch his movies. As expected, the restaurant was a great success, and the heroine and her friends lived a stable and happy life. The ending scene is the couple holding the dog, looking up at the floating clouds in the sky, the sun shines on the hair, a trace of golden light, and they take a sip of cigarettes comfortably.
There are basically no children in Aki's films, and the boys in Le Havre seem to be at least fourteen, because children are naturally lively and easy to dilute the cold and slow atmosphere, which is simple and calm. Conversations, restrained body language, static background objects, soothing and unchanging camera rhythm, carefully arranged scenes, and condensed tones are created. In order to maintain this atmosphere, some extreme scenes, such as the heroine grabbing a knife and the husband being beaten Wait, put them out of the screen or just pinch them off. The age of the actors is too old, and the actors who work together on a regular basis have no way to grow old after many years.
Little people live big lives, the eternal theme of Aki's films. There is so much suffering, these little people either face it stubbornly (the floating cloud world), or restart their life (a man without a past), or try to keep a glimmer of hope in their hearts (the light of twilight), or cry out and return to peace (sit tight). , Tedina), or desperate confrontation (match factory women), or self-imposed exile (Crime and Punishment), or helping each other warmly (Le Havre), or facing the absurd with cold eyes (Leningrad Cowboys in Beauty) ), or all kinds of colors, full of flavor. Each one is condensed and soothing with fiery love and refined humor. I am a small person myself, and I like this kind film master.
