Not a film review, just a miscellaneous note

Think about what I watched today: Fatal Magic and this one. Nolan's editing feels like every step is well-designed, interlocking, and just right. And Dolan feels very headstrong. The same goes for scripts included. But the strange thing is that this Matisse and Maxim (I finally remembered the Chinese name after reading it) made my tears flash for a while. The rare thing is that it seems that the lyrical has some success, although It is often inexplicable to be followed by scripts and editing. These don't come from between the two young people, but I think he is too miserable, as if he can't get the place where he deserves love, but the place where he got it is unacceptable. This is troublesome. But the music is great, lively and full of change. In fact, I think the birthmark on that face (it should be a birthmark) is very beautiful, so I don’t know the erased scene in front of the mirror—maybe the lead actor as the director can’t really express himself too badly, so I designed this Makeup?

    Facts have proved that the charm of the big screen is infinite, and even the "folklore" that Quebecers like to talk at their throats has become very cute. It certainly won't be the most popular in Dolan's dimension, but it's my favorite. His films never need complex narratives, and the emotions he conveys are always the most moving. There are many people who are sensitive, affectionate and thoughtful, but the most valuable thing about him is his ability to accurately visualize emotions. He has always been good at mother-son plays. The most moving part of M&M is still the mother-son play: Maxim saw his mother and brother dancing with music through the window. At that moment, he was stinged. It turned out that mother can be He gets along well with his son, but that son will not be him. Song for Zula has been heard many times before and never felt so good.

    Dolan's first time on the big screen, and the emotional immersion it brought me was unprecedented. I think it is always convergent, with many seemingly insignificant changes in details and formal expressions. Even when Maxime didn't say a word, he could still feel the surging emotion that was about to overflow the screen. Flickering lights, a trance of heavy snow, faint heartache. In the first half, all kinds of ridicule and laughter continued, but they couldn't laugh anymore. Maybe in the eyes of these two people, except for each other, the whole world was accelerated. After reading so many of his stories, sincerity has never changed, this is Dolan's most precious trait. Repeating oneself is not the worst thing for creators, but losing oneself is. It rained after the game, and the hard shell would really be melted. ——BJQFF
