Think about it, the theme of this movie is nothing more than this-eternal love and art. Art belongs to nature and a pure heart, and has nothing to do with the world. And love is so pure, can't tolerate any impurities, and it's also incompatible with all the filthy things in this world.
His father kept his love for his wife throughout his life, and insisted on his artistic ideals. Listening to every sound made by nature, the smell of mature peaches, the sound of child pissing, the association between painter's brushes and strings, all these are music in his ears. He lived in seclusion in the country all his life, living in his own musical world, with endless love and memories of his dead wife. From the perspective of his father, this story is full of a touch of sadness but not a sigh. After all, he is accompanied by the strings, with the sustenance of the soul and the heart, and his heart is full and happy.
The eldest daughter inherited his father's artistic talent, and she was equally talented, but she fell in love. She has no intention to publicize and develop her artistic talents, she wants to live a life indifferently like her father. He didn't deliberately pursue external glitz, but he fell in love with Marais --- this young man from outside. The scene in front of the fireplace is a portrayal of the two people's different life directions-Marlene lowered her head to sort out the laundry, without desire and desire, gently asked Marai if she would like to drink? And Marais, who was standing opposite her, was dressed like a royal nobleman --- wearing a golden wig, luxurious clothes, and a thick powder on her face. The expression in her eyes and the corners of her mouth are all A lofty style. He was obsessed with worldly competition and honor, and fell drunk to the applause and prosperity of the nobles. The calmness that Marlene and her father possess made him feel awkward.
In fact, this six-year-old boy who entered the court has always been like this. His heart has always been living in secular pursuits. He came to the old musician to get his music as the capital to return to the court, not really for the pure music itself. When he first visited his house at the age of 17, his father was keenly aware of his heart, but his daughters fell in love with this handsome young man and were fascinated by him.
Therefore, under the father’s cabin, the young man’s heart is learning skills, the notes in the father’s strings and the value it brings, while the daughter is focused on love. All she has in her heart is Love itself. This role itself is a tragedy. Like many female characters in French films or literature, their beautiful existence is only for love. Adele Hugo, Rodin's lover, Madame Bovary and so on, they all dedicated themselves to love itself like moths. Love is torturing Marlene, but when he saw his former lover come to the room where they had a tryst with all the fat, greasy face and worldly dirt, she was disappointed, and she showed that she had never had it before. Indignant and strong, "Your love is nothing but that!" This was the only sentence she condemned her lover before she died. The section where the lover played "The Girl in Dream" did not get the focus, but looked dry and pale. At that moment, she did not get the comfort she deserved. Her body and mind were tortured and tortured because of the miss of her lover, and she was attached to the fearless pursuit of love itself. She had the persistence and loyalty of her father in her body, but she could not meet an object with the same persistence and loyalty. She had a wrong love, so her ending was unfortunate. Watching her fat-headed lover leave in a luxurious carriage, her heart is completely dead. Amidst the endless sound of her father's piano, she is full of despair and boredom with everything in the world, so she chooses to end herself His life is only because of the death of love in the world, and the ideal is vulnerable to reality.
From the very beginning, the role of daughter is destined to be the embodiment of tragedy --- because it is too pure, things that are too beautiful are difficult to sustain.
After entering middle age, young people start to reflect on their artistic life and life value. He felt guilty for the girl in his heart, awe and fear for the teacher who admired but couldn't get close. But there is still an unquenchable love for music itself. This love in his youth is not pure, but as he grows older, the thoughts caused by the pain of being unable to sleep late at night make him continue to explore the direction of music and soul. So there is the first and last class at the end of the credits, a duet between the teacher and the student. Art has always been directed at the deepest part of the soul. It has always been about inner persistence, rather than external recognition or a means of gaining fame.
Finally, I still have to praise French movies. The fresh pictures, concise plot, few characters, non-sensational, non-pretentious, and even naked pictures never shy away, but they are so true to touch people's hearts, touching the deepest corners of the soul, and triggering the deepest thoughts. This is the style and realm of "sorrow but not sad, joy but not lewdness".
