I have always felt that Ou Rong and Almodovar are a little like, and they always prefer women in their light and shadow world, and the men under their lens are in a certain sense incomplete. So Roman, gay, sentimental, crying a lot, and even a little selfish. After learning that he had cancer, he drove away his lover who was living with him, deliberately annoyed his parents and sisters, childishly thought that even if they knew it, it would not help, but would only increase their worries; after discovering this, they would sink deeper into it. When he was lonely, he did not face it bravely, but chose to escape instead. The physical pain and psychological loneliness, the sinking and falling of life make people feel surprised and frightened. If life can only be scattered like broken mirrors after being hit, it is fragmented and cannot be recovered, then our life is not only Could it be some beautiful solutions that can never be completed? Fortunately, after experiencing the initial confusion and struggle, Roman gradually began to try to use the last three months of his life.
And in this rare Ou Jong movie with men as the protagonist, the most memorable thing is the grandmother played by Jeanne Moreau. The role played by this countless director’s muse is itself the key to Roman’s transformation. . The escape that was originally intended to stay away from troubles has become a turning point for re-understanding life because of getting along with grandma. As long as Na Moreau is on the stage, even if her face is no longer beautiful, it is still difficult for you to look away from her. As Truffaut said when he invited Adjani to perform "Adele Hugo": "I have never looked forward to engraving a person's face on film so eagerly—except for Jeanne Moreau. "Her hoarse and vicissitudes of life contain all the feelings of the passing years. Her lines are not many, but the density of each word is enough to match the life intensity of a stubborn and intelligent woman. Perhaps the words Melville said to her in the movie represented the aspirations of many people: "You are so beautiful. If you get to know you sooner, I will definitely propose to you." At
the end of the movie, the thin Roman came to the beach by himself. , The phone rang, but he threw it into the trash can. There was nothing to worry about: while leaving all his property to the unborn child, while watching the back of the couple drifting away, When I shed tears for not being able to see my child born. On the beach with people coming and going, he used his camera to take two children playing for the last time, like him and Sasha when he was a child, and his sister and himself playing together; the setting sun reflected the sea and the beach. The people above began to leave. Amidst the beating of the waves and the chirping of seagulls, only Roman himself was left on the beach. The camera slowly dimmed. A young life left, or fell asleep, forever, forever. .
The name of the movie is "The Dead Time". In fact, the literal translation of the French name will better reflect what the movie wants to say-time stops; just like Melville, even if he grows up, his eyes will always be melancholy. Just like Jeanne Moreau’s charm is still intimidating even when she grows old, there are things that cannot be changed in time and can’t be taken away: it’s the hug when Roman sees his father for the last time, and it’s the sadness of Sasha when she listens to Roman’s heartbeat for the last time. And moved, it is everyone that Roman recorded with the camera, the surging of the sea and the bustling of the park under the setting sun. And if time can really be paused, I hope it can stop at a moment that will never appear: just like on the poster, Roman hugs his child and falls asleep quietly, the present and future of time, the beginning of life, Both the end and the continuation are still at that moment; and all the emotions contained in this moment are strong enough to correspond to the three-month lingering time recorded on film: life is a miracle.
