I don't understand French dialogue at all. Yassen Ropin should be translated from Hong Kong. In the subtitles of the play, it is Arsene Luban, a very typical French name translation. And Josephine is naturally Josephine.
There is a big difference between thieves and thieves. Arsene is a thieves, while Bomanian is a typical and out-and-out thieves. Seeing Bomagnan finally die, I feel relieved. His fraudulent death reminds me of Bill telling Beatrice in "Killing Bill" that it is cruel to make his lover think that he is dead. This sentence could not be more appropriate to Bomanian. He brutally killed his companions and made his wife and children mistakenly believe that he was himself. He had plastic surgery and got away with it. He gave Josephine the necklace stolen by his son. No matter how the sickly wife and young son live in the hospital, even after meeting his son, he still has suspicions, uses his son, and even wants to kill him.
In this sense, the wife of a robber is poor, as are Arsena's mother and Clarice. Arcena's mother didn't know that she was cheated, and died with regret; the conceited Arcena thought she was an exception, but faced with Clarice's death and the disappearance of her son, she had no choice but to regret it. Arsena, who was kneeling in the mud, looked desperate, and the thief who had been so romantic and suave at the beginning was very different. Even if he continues to live, he will no longer be his former self. The female partner said, "It seems that you always wear a mask." Then, what about that face? What about the face of the former life? And, that heart? Never know how to cherish, but lose the heart of love?
But the question is, what is Bomanian’s motive? In order to get Josephine's love? To get jealous of his son, want to kill him? ——Can't find a valid reason. Before he ran away, he was a loving father and a good husband. How could he be completely reborn when he ran away? Except for his identity as the father of Arcena, there is nowhere to tell that he is a father. Even knowing that Clarice was pregnant with Arsena's child, there was no trace of affection in his performance. It feels like the screenwriter deliberately creates a bad person for the needs of the plot, and it makes no sense at all.
Another point that is reasonable but may be far-fetched is that there are still doubts about Arséna's magical technique of stealing jewels, even though he knows that there are people outside the sky. The brilliant scholar Zhu Cong is of course invincible, but if he steals large pieces of jewelry that hangs around his neck, I am afraid it will be difficult. Jewelry is personal and often heavier (wearing on gloves is another matter). It will take a while to notice, unless it is drugged or witchcraft-but Arsene doesn't seem to have Josephine's skills.
Another place that can be called a failure is that the ending is too hasty. In those ten years, Arsene couldn't find his son? Until he grows up next to Josephine? Used by Josephine again? Regarding Josephine’s ability to remain immortal, the film only gave a simple explanation, that is, Josephine took a drug made by her father. I had known that immortality was so simple, so why did vampires live so hard? The cost of medicine is always lower than that of human blood.
But even so, Arséna will still affect people's sympathy. For him, he lost his father when he was young and was entangled by the nightmare of his father being killed. When the truth came to light, it was an extremely strong sense of nihility. His enemy is precisely the beloved father. It turns out that the most painful loss is not the death of a loved one, but deceit and betrayal. ——This refers to Bomanian, if it is for Clarice, it is still heartbreaking to lose. Such a beautiful life, even Leonardo is touched, and the monster is like Josephine. , Can not tolerate this kind of beauty. This film did not implement "good for good for evil and evil for evil". Clarice died, Arcena lost his wife and son, and Josephine was not retributed. Losing the treasure might not be a big deal to her, but I always felt that The most scared thing for people like her is actually what she has been trying hard to keep-aging, so I have been looking forward to her losing the magic of the medicine and getting senile. When she saw her face in the mirror, she screamed in horror, Crazy to die-unfortunately, there has never been. According to the fresco that Beaumagnion pointed out to Arsene at the Louvre, by the end of the film, she should be two or three hundred years old, and may continue to live until now. The actor's acting skills are very outstanding, the feeling of youth and vicissitudes, the viciousness of the characters and the fragility of the moment are all well grasped. Clarice is beautiful, but the image is relatively thin. Stars are often willing to play villains with complex characters. It is also because the contra-angle is like a polygonal prism, which has more room for acting and can impress the audience more, right?
What in the end? Can Arcena recognize his son? Will Josephine have new conspiracies? Nobody knows. A suspense.
The ending song is very nice.
