Classics that need patience to appreciate

I didn't know anything about this film, and I was moved by the film after watching it. It takes a little patience. The first shot of the film makes people feel the exquisiteness and calmness of the golden age of film. Later, I checked the information and found out that the film director Opheles is a famous director. I have seen his "Round Dance" and "Laura Montes" before and I am quite impressed. His works have profound expressions of women's love lives. The three leading actors of the film are also very famous, and the handsome diplomat is turned out to be Vittorio de Sica, the director of "The Bike Stealer". Unexpectedly, this great director has such a handsome and elegant appearance and superb acting skills. Another actor, Charles Boyer, played a hypocritical, ruthless hypocrite. The first half of the film is a quiet satire on the hypocrisy and degeneration of the upper class. After the appearance of the diplomat, true love appears on the scene, which makes people unable to turn around for a while. Since then, contradictions and conflicts have promoted the development of the plot and captured the audience, but there are still doubts that cannot be eliminated. Does the countess really love diplomats? The editing of the ending footage was wonderful. The countess rushed to the duel with a sick body, but in the film she heard a gunshot. There was no shot of who was shot in the duel, only the countess was sad.

    I really love the seamless sequences of the balls, and the long shot in the opening sequence. It's interesting that people make such a huge difference to objects (earrings) because of their emotional closeness. It's a pity that the ending...was handled a little regretfully.

    On the basis of ensuring the amount of information on the screen, the dissolving and gorgeous scheduling of the Opheles retrospective can complete the high-intensity narrative in a compact and unhurried manner. What the film focuses on is actually the material-emotional-national interest isomorphism of the French bourgeois upper class before the war (the earrings redeemed in Constantinople), and the hidden value split under this isomorphism. The appearance of the Confederate League of France is perfect. This kind of explanation is of course boring, but when the characters can't avoid and strip off the "thing" attribute of the earrings, and the "white lie" is like the leaves of water spinach, how about its metaphysical romanticized lyrical meaning?
