As the plot unfolds, the character of the male protagonist Angelo gradually unfolds. This is a well-educated aristocratic and gentleman-like young officer with revolutionary ideals, tenacity, courage, willing to help, a sense of responsibility and calm and restraint. . In the process of avoiding hunting in the epidemic area, he accidentally broke into the house of the heroine Juliet. This is Juliet’s first appearance. It is quite brilliant. Wearing a delicate white skirt and a dignified and calm manner, the whole person is as pure as a snow lotus. In sharp contrast with the chaos of the people in the epidemic area, it made people feel comfortable to see an oasis in the desert. It was natural for people to guess that she must have an unusual background. She generously invited the hungry Angelo to have a meal. The dialogue between the two people was very brief, and they didn’t even introduce each other’s names. Perhaps in such a special environment, life and death is the biggest issue. I don’t know if the other person will be alive next time they meet, so there is no need to say so much. Well, so, Juliet's background remains mysterious.
When they met again, Angelo and Juliet rushed out of the blockade smoothly, and began the escape route of companionship. During this period, the understanding between the two began to deepen, but they were always a man with a chivalry spirit and a man. The courtesy between the ladies, the shadow of love seems to have not yet appeared. Later, Juliet came to a friend of her husband’s house and learned that her husband might have been separated because she was looking for her, so she decided to return to the epidemic area to find her husband. In this scene, whether Angelo and Juliet were going back to find someone. After a quarrel, Juliet insisted on leaving and said that Angelo had never loved anyone so she could not understand her feelings. Angelo had no choice but to let Juliet go, but soon Juliet was caught by the cavalry and sent to the quarantine area, because Angelo, who was rest assured and followed by, saw Juliet being caught. He was always calm and he couldn't help but beat the branches around him emotionally. The falling leaves were just like his chaotic heart. Was it annoying that she was disobedient or annoyed that he was already Can't let her go?
Angelo, who could have returned to Italy smoothly, risked his life and took the initiative to come to the quarantine area just to find her. Juliet standing by the window unexpectedly looked at Angelo who came by, and he only said indifferently, "I can't leave you alone." Once again, he took her to escape smoothly and began to escort her home. On the way, he came to a deserted manor to avoid the rain, and the development of the plot came to a climax. When Juliet changed into dry clothes and asked him if he knew why he picked this one, Angelo said that it was because it was the same as the clothes they met for the first time. Juliet chuckled and said, "I thought you didn't notice it. "The seemingly inadvertent question and answer may indicate that the seeds of love have been planted at the first meeting. Juliet, who was slightly drunk and started to tell the story of her meeting and marrying her husband, Angelo suddenly got up and said that he was leaving. The insurmountable gap between the identities of the two people), Juliet got up and tried to stay, and said that his mother would be worried about his safety and would not agree with him to go to the revolution (actually, this is clearly her own worry). At this time, Angelo is still Persevering to leave, Juliet came to him and stretched out her hand to caress his face. Angelo finally showed his true feelings and held her hand and buried her face in pain. However, he soon recovered and had to leave. When the sad and helpless Juliet was going upstairs with a candle to take a rest, she suddenly showed the horrible symptoms of a cholera attack. Angelo rushed forward in horror and began to try his best to treat her. The expression on her face was painful and hopeless, overnight. After treatment, Juliet survived miraculously. (Yes, although love is desperate, but people are still alive, there is finally a little comfort.)
When Angelo escorted Juliet back to her territory, the marquis husband rode his horse to greet him in the distance. Angelo's eyes were staring at the approaching man with a solemn expression (in spite of the perseverance in his heart). Also in vain). After that, the picture of the film was directly transferred to Juliet’s as always peaceful and luxurious aristocratic life, but in those gatherings of fragrant temples, Juliet’s inadvertent expression of loneliness made people heartache (even with the company of many people, If the one you love is not around, you will still feel very lonely). Juliet insisted on writing to Angelo based on the address information briefly mentioned to Angelo (the content of the letter only concerns about his safety, without mentioning a love word). After a year and a half, Angelo finally has The film did not explain the content of the reply. (I believe that according to Angelo’s personality, there will be no love word in the reply), but Juliet is holding the letter and facing the snow-capped Alps alone, with a slight smile on her face. Meaning, perhaps, in that era of war, the safety of the loved one is a kind of happiness.
After watching the whole movie, I feel that the French film is very fresh and natural. The expression of the feelings of the hero and heroine in a specific context is very subtle but delicate. Although the two people who love each other have nothing to confess from the beginning to the end, the kind is permeated between the two. The deep love between people deeply touches people's hearts. As the saying goes, there is no need for more words.
