Watching French movies has always been like watching a fairy tale. Love and warmth are the continuous themes. The delicate expression of the characters and the slow advancement of the camera are like the sunlight scattered in a fairy tale, which is softly told. Take this movie, for example, Charlman and Margaret count pigeons in the afternoon sun, sitting on a bench to read, as if back to when they were children and feeding the pigeons with their grandfather. All the pigeons at the place returned to the ground, watching them eating gracefully, I said to myself that they also murmured, and most of them dispersed when they were full, and some stayed on the ground for a walk, but basically they held their heads high. I play with my own, no one is involved, and occasionally they will pace up in front of me, or I will squat and walk in front of them one step at a time, looking down at them picking up the leftover grains, and they will also grow after a long time. I'm really not afraid of me. Sometimes I even fall asleep reading a book in the yard. When I want to come, they look at me next to me, and their clear eyes keep turning and turning. It's a bit too far, but I really love such harmonious and quiet scenes in French movies, like the concierge wife and the cat in "The Grace of the Hedgehog", and the waiting in the sun in the garden at the end of "The Long Engagement" The clean back, the way Charlman reads to the cat Margaret in this movie. Reading is probably the best thing I can think of. The most real expectation of myself is to be a reader, a listener and a story-teller. The reason why I am me is largely because of reading, which is my deepest memory of my childhood, my starting point, and the only thing I have been doing consistently over the years. , but those more or less have their own reasons, and the things that have reasons to support can be discarded. It was not until I saw Tang Nuo said in "Story of Reading" that "I am a professional reader", I realized that I have been so many years. The pursuit and tossing and turning is just a hope to be a professional reader, because reading is the only thing I do in my life without a reason, if I must have a reason, then I can only use the words of Charman: "Reading." For her, it's like breathing." Therefore, when watching a movie, I'm often moved by the quiet focus on reading: watching "Life and Death" I like them snuggling in bed, reading carefully and listening attentively. Scenes; watching "The Grace of the Hedgehog", my favorite is the concierge's wife reading "War and Peace" to the cat in the light; watching this movie, my favorite is Margaret and Charlman reading on a park bench, and the children in the nursing home. room for reading. In fact, the best way I can think of for two people to get along is this. Two people are reading together. They can read together against each other by the window in the lazy afternoon sun. They can read and listen to one another on the lawn outside the window. Sitting in front of the fireplace in the evening drinking home-brewed gin and reading, or doing nothing, just watching each other quietly, talking from time to time, and telling stories to each other. The longest confession is companionship. This seems to be the sentence I often think of when I watch French movies, whether it is about love, family, friendship, or the warmth of Margaret and Charlman. Accompanying, it is probably that Charlemagne and Margaret meet every afternoon to read books and feed the pigeons, that is, that Charlene will appear at different stops of the Annette bus every day and wait, that is, that Charlene and her mother don’t say a word. They said that they would not allow each other to be hurt a little from the outside world, not even insulting words. Even if they wanted to leave, they stayed in the RV in the yard. When Margaret was reading to Charlman, she said: If a person does not get enough love in childhood, everything is still waiting to be discovered by him. So in the end Charlman discovered everything after his mother left. "We will all end up at the mother's grave, wailing like abandoned dogs." Love actually needs to be discovered and understood. The biggest gain of this year's study is experience. Life is a living experience, and it needs to be integrated into it. Everything should be experienced. Not much difference, just immersion. The last thing I want to say is that Charlman's frustration and embarrassment after reading the Roman-French dictionary is probably the most common dilemma we encounter, as he described to Margaret "It's like adding myopia with Glasses, all of a sudden, I can see too clearly, so I can see all the flaws and loopholes, and I can see myself clearly, which makes me feel very sad. I prefer my old self, everything is blurry, but also very simple ", I often envy people who don't think, and deeply miss the primitive chaos, everything is simple and clear enough, I like a clear world, although I don't like black, prefer gray, but my favorite is always white.
