After reading Eric Rohmer's "Story of Four Seasons" series, the first is the low saturation and low contrast in color, and the color tone feels particularly individual, and then the characters' clothes and backgrounds are very minimalist, the most unforgettable It's just the golden waves. The second is the storyline, the ambiguity between the characters, the boys all have huge erotic desires hidden in their hearts, the girls are all restrained and resisted while refusing and welcoming, which makes people feel itchy, the simple plots are complicated and complicated. The subtle relationship between characters, the lines are very precise and at the same time there is no lack of fluidity. Sometimes the most critical turning point is the expression, the look, the action, and the sentence. The characters are generally emotionally tangled, but they are real. Persuasive, Rohmer's meticulous presentation is too good, and finally the French is too beautiful, as well as the French veneer and red wine, which makes people feel that this country is very relaxed and free, and people are very tolerant of strangers. , it is exactly the same as France/Italy in my mind. It is not as rigorous as Germany/UK. This kind of free and romantic country may not be able to develop too strong technology and military power, so in World War II, France was The Nazis invaded completely. Although Italy is a fascist, it is the most retarded in the whole team. I feel that it is impossible to have both fish and bear's paw.

Deeply immersed in everyone's daily life, their thinking and dialogue reveal more detailed classification and distinction, which is very rare. They can integrate Kant into dialogue and chat about "life, philosophy, nature, "Poetry, outer space" is romantic, and the emphasis on culture and art is naturally revealed in the bones, which is really the cultural atmosphere I yearn for
