Watching "Winter Heart" on a weekend afternoon with almost no sunshine, I felt that I was out of season but not in harmony with the weather.
Camille's love with Stephen is almost destined: a similarity in temperament. Camille once fell into despair. As she told, the manager who accompanied her rescued her and took care of her, but she became tired of this dependence, or safety. Artists usually have a passion for danger, so they are also willing to take care of her. Maxim is not as attractive to her as the melancholy Stephen.
The danger and harm are the girl who asked for it, and this is also her charm, because she treats and even meets the danger in an independent and conscious attitude: she loves Stephen, and bravely expresses her feelings. She avoided the gathering of people and said to Stephen, "I usually don't do this, but I want you". The expression on her face is so real that people feel that dedication to love is great, and the courage to face one's feelings is also the expression of courage to face self. . That's right, she is usually not like this. We don't know about her before, but I stubbornly think: She is not born to be brave for love, but cultivated later, so it is more precious and more breathtaking.
So when Stephen rejected her, I started to hate this man instantly: I believed that he loved her like Camille, but the long-term isolation made him ashamed or afraid to admit it. I used to sympathize with people who are full of fear of love and being loved, because my character also has this negative element, but just as I feel more and more valuable about Camille, I am lonely and superstitious. Weakly abandoned my waiting. "The person who started to get bored, tired of saying to him or her what Sagan wrote in the book: You cringe and avoid love, I judge you to be lonely for life".
And I admire Camille The indifference and reservedness shown by Er after the refusal frenzy: Unlike Stephen, her indifference and reservedness are not closed but open. She does not reject the personnel entering her life, nor does she reject external forces. As for the moment she was rejected, I was convinced that it didn’t matter. Of course she would suffer, but she would definitely continue to grow. Her talent for growth also made her no longer in front of managers and Maxim Just a genius but unable to take care of her own female violinist.
However, these thoughts were suddenly corrected in the last few minutes of the movie: After the three reunited, Maxim left understandingly time for Camille and Stephen. Well, let’s talk about Maxim: his existence makes people believe that some people are really noble by nature, and the inherited rich and leisurely life did not turn him into a dude, but a respect for people and things. A connoisseur, he loves and believes in love, his soul and flesh are one, he knows how to leave and come back in time. That's why I wondered how could I ignore his cuteness? This is Camille looking at his back and asking Stephen: Do you love him? Stephen replied: Yes, the only one.
The hatred he had built against Stephen in an instant collapsed in an instant: it turned out that he was in love, and finally admitted that he was in love. Once a person admits love, it is tantamount to admitting weakness. The former invulnerability immediately appears vulnerable, and the indifference on his face suddenly turns into loneliness. So I began to realize the cruelty of the brave side in love: in any case, Camille was an enlightenment, she failed to make Stephen fall in love with herself, but fatefully awakened his love, and To awaken love is to awaken pain and loneliness.
Camille finally glanced at Stephen sitting there through the car window. From my understanding, it should be regret, relief, and compassion, and Stephen was left alone in this look. My guess is: Will he hate her? Would you rather be the person who was "missing something" before? Would you be afraid of emotional troubles like in Hirokazu Kee's "Air Doll" and request that the inflatable doll with human emotions return to a state of apathy? I'm not sure, because admitting love is just the first step in the great event of love. Who knows that this is not the beginning of suffering?
However, even though I am not sure, not sure how his painful heart is awakened, how to prepare for the coming dazzling spring before the winter really ends, I still have to give birth to the imaginary hope with a sense of coldness. , It seems that even if the pain is awakened, if it can survive the winter, it can be called recovery.
