The best ending in a fairy tale is "the princess and the prince live happily together", which is not the case in the adult world. Truffau decently provides a happy ending in "Love Running", perhaps the best one.
The prince and princess divorced, and still treated each other with smiles. The princess was not eroded by the married life, while the prince reviewed his own emotional experience over the years and reconciled with his past.
The five films related to Antoine may be hard to be called superior alone, but taking them as a whole has become a highly completed series. The personality that Antoine formed during the incomprehensible adolescence, along with his first love, his youth, and his married life, will also run through his life. His handsomeness, his humor, his familiarity with the means of love, and his deep self-righteousness will continue to accompany him.
Will Sabine be the last one? Judging from the problem of blowing his nose, it may be; Judging from Antoine's usual behavior, it may not be. Antoine said in his "Dirty Child Manuscript", "He may win her heart, but once they are together, they will deceive, disappoint and break up as usual. I really don't want to repeat my first chapter. A depressing scene in a book."
Love, a chance event that depends on both parties, can never be regarded as the ending of a single individual. The end of the individual lies in the completion of the self, or the destruction of the self. Whether this young girl is the ultimate princess or not, the happy ending of the prince has come true.
Antoine's growth can be said to be a process of gradual imitating and adapting to existing models. The reckless teenager in "Four Hundred Strikes" is still not clear about the many rules and unspoken rules of society. In other words, they have not known the world soon, but are not familiar with each other. "Camelot and Antoine" has been able to win the love of the girl's parents just right, only to win the hearts. In "Stealing a Kiss", Antoine is witty enough to move forward and retreat freely in love, but he is still immature in the workplace. In "Marriage Life", he bid farewell to the trick of dyeing flowers and became an elite in the workplace, and his marriage became a red light. In "Love Running", all the problems are solved. The troubles, the obstacles that were not cleared in time, and the puzzles that lingered throughout the youth in the first four films are all solved once and for all in this movie.
If there is anything that can be said to be a happy ending, "Love Running" is anyway counted as one.
Who can have time to look back on the time he has passed, who can live up to the boyhood that loves Balzac, who can reunite with his first love girlfriend for a short time to clear up the grievances of the year, who can be in the mother's lover Under the enlightenment to eliminate the shadow of childhood, who's first girlfriend and ex-wife can meet downstairs of the current lover and talk about that year. The director did not hesitate to set up a lot of coincidences, only to give Antoine a happy ending.
I was completely persuaded and moved.
This ending is really tempting. It promises that all the incompleteness in your life is just a foreshadowing for the final completion; it promises that all the wounds that cannot be healed, all the irreversible alienation, all the separation before farewell, there are opportunities for remedy and reconciliation; it promises The voice of the complaining partner for many years was just as before when they broke up.
It's like walking in a long corridor for a lifetime, opening many windows while walking, but hurried forward without time to see, the windows are open like wounds. I thought I had to carry these vacancies all my life, and whenever I thought about it, it was like a cold wind passing through the hall. But suddenly I had the opportunity to re-examine every window, re-watch the scenery outside every window, and when I was full, I closed it properly. Every gap was filled and every wound was put on a band-aid.
In "Stealing the Kiss", Antoine meets Camelot again. Camelot was married as a woman and was traveling with her son and husband. Antoine asked Camelette whether he was a boy or a girl, and the conversation was rushed, but Camelot ignored him. This question hangs at that moment until the end of the movie, when Antoine and Christine go with them, the tail staying outside, flicking and flicking makes it tickling. In "Love Running", the two meet again, Antoine repeatedly asks the child, Camelot talks about what happened back then, this line is considered to be over.
The so-called "best ending" does not lie in how happy you are at this time, but in the fact that the unfinished things in the past have been completed, and the disappointed ones have been made up.
