I love Rohmer because there are shadows in his movies in the world and in the four seasons. For those mortals who love life and yearn for the magic of love, they can always encounter a joy and reunion in Rohmer's movies. In "Summer Story", Rohmer brings the spring love philosophy from the garden to the seaside, and magnifies the beauty of the diversity of love and puts a love mystery in front of the audience. Maybe every straight man or a middle-aged man who has been married for many years will imagine how wonderful it would be to have an ambiguous memory with a woman of different personality. Rohmer understands this desire and careful thinking of men, so he published Tania's seaside choreographed such a love story.

The three girls Jasper met in this ambiguous summer are Margo who is innocent and straightforward, Su Lian is passionate and unrestrained, and Lena is capricious. They represent innocence, sexiness and mystery respectively, which makes people snicker that Rohmer is so bad! The original plan of the young Jasper was to wait for his favorite girl, Lena, to spend a sweet summer at the beach, but he didn’t want the promised girl to arrive late and have no news. Here Rohmer chose his first love. Lost to the audience, the "waiting for Godot"-style watch, whether Reina will come or not has become an unknown. In love, we know that the most enduring thing is waiting, which is a process of killing enthusiasm, and the desire for the opposite sex will strengthen the occurrence of this anxiety. In the days when Reina didn't come, Jasper wandered around the beach doing nothing and met Margo, who was a part-time host. The two talked and speculated and often met for walks and chats. At this time, the second question of love has emerged. Morality binds our choice of love, the order of first come, first served and the potential of the agreement make Jasper and Margot end in friendship, there is a shallow and insurmountable line between them, and this line is called: "Rena might come back."

As mentioned above, the three types of girls represent three vague character relationships. Jasper and the innocent girl's goodwill is limited to the shackles of mysterious guarding and morality, while Su Lian, whom he met at the dance, is the most irresistible "passion" by men. sexy". Su Lian's character reveals a seductive aura and strongly attracts Jasper. If it is a vague love similar to Margot, then Su Lian brings love directly drawn by sexual desire, so Su Lian will once The second time I talked to Jasper about going to bed, how wonderful it would be to fall in love with such a girl in summer, so the third love question is whether the love brought by sexual desire is real?

If the story ends here, it is too out of Rohmer's cunning style, so at this time our mysterious Lena finally appears, and it will be a very painful thing for the fourth judgment of Jasper's love to appear. , First of all, Jasper has to re-examine his love with Su Lian and choose to deceive Reina to hide the existence of Margo and Su Lian. The layers of predicaments created by the great fan of love always make people struggle at the intersection of choices, and Lena's sudden appearance makes Jasper overwhelmed after a brief experience and chooses and Su Lian embarrassed However, Lena's temperamental personality makes Jasper difficult to approach. It seems that it is better to be with Su Lian. The audience is laughing at the dilemma of the scumbag. At the same time, the innocent Margot quietly returned to Jasper. While revealing his sincerity, he parted with Jasper with regret, but this summer unexpectedly ended with Jasper empty-handed. Rohmer's story is light and interesting, but there is no lack of thinking about love and exploration of life philosophy. We are happy to experience life again in Rohmer's love sketches and feel the cunning in love. The summer love story is so warm and short, and Like all short-lived summer things, there are regrets and graceful ambiguous emotions that remain. We reminisce about the three unfinished loves of three kinds of girls. Our affection for innocence is the potential of love, the irresistibility of sexy is the mask of love, and the longing for mystery and inaccessibility is the fantasy of love. Choose to let Margo leave Jasper and push this love puzzle to the audience again, so when love comes, what kind of love will you choose?
