This story is about love, so real and with unexpected twists and turns.
As beautiful as Juliette Binoche, at the age of 55, her heart couldn't help but sigh.
Does the old age mean that the fire lover is no longer, and the sweet love in the heart is no longer.
Claire, a college French teacher she plays in the film, is a perfect replica of this state .
In her 50s, she has already achieved financial freedom, working actively, raising children in rebellion, and maintaining broken family relationships.
After her husband divorced her, he found a young girl in her twenties who was enthusiastic and exuded seductive female hormones all the time.
In comparison, Claire, who was in her fifties, looked pale.
But she has a pair of intellectual and intelligent eyes that young ladies can't have, but perhaps to hide the fine but clear wrinkles , these eyes are hidden behind her black-rimmed glasses.
In the outskirts of Paris, covered with dark clouds, romantic filters have exited one after another.
In order to get close to her old lover, she chose to reinvent her identity on social networks.
After all, the Internet can disguise its voice, looks, and even thoughts.
Thus, a fictional 24-year-old girl became her second identity .
Can a woman who can't accept her old age, a young person, and her desire for love "cheat" into an unforgettable love?
"Who Do You Think I Am" says yes, but it's fragile.
By chance, she pays attention to her old lover's friend.
After going back and forth, a thrilling online dating has evolved.
The passionate photographer, twenty years younger than her, was fascinated by her.
In love, her mentality seems to have really returned to her twenties, and she is so refreshed.
At parties, she stretches her body like the young Sophie Marceau in "Fang Fang ."
Outside the party, phone sex with a lover pushed the lust to a climax.
However, behind this is also hidden an unspeakable loneliness .
After all, they can't meet, and can only maintain this mortal love with continuous lies.
Emotions gradually progressed, and Claire was losing ground on the psychological defense line.
The young lover couldn't hold back the desire to see her.
In the crowd, Claire looked at each other and searched her eyes.
The calmness shown is to cover up his hysterical heart.
The weaving and accumulation of lies gradually became more and more unbearable.
Claire has to use the pretext of getting married to escape her lover's desperate pleas.
A sense of oppression like a black cloud overwhelms the city.
Claire cries against the wall while her lover logs off her social media forever.
The bubble burst in an instant.
The story ends with the death of a lover.
The layers of reversal again outline Claire's tumultuous heart.
So sad, so sad.
Binoche is so profound and captivating from the viewer's perspective.
But in the movie it can't help but look lonely and sad.
It seems that in the social consensus, the age of 30 has passed the peak of the golden age for women.
Then both work and emotions will only plummet.
Zhao Lei sang in "A Thirty-Year-Old Woman":
She is a thirty-year-old woman who has not lost her shape yet. Can such a woman retain a trace of innocence back then?
Indeed, time leaves indelible furrows on the face.
But getting old is not a sin, nor is it a reason for self-grief.
A girl's snickering when she is pregnant, and a middle-aged woman's self-confidence charm are actually beautiful in their own way.
Binoche, Streep and Sophie Marceau in Europe and the United States all had irresistible beauty when they were young.
The age is increasing year by year, but the play path is getting wider and wider.
I think they are not resistant to aging.
They don't need to worry about whether they still have the so-called "girly feeling".
There is no need to be trapped in mother-in-law and mother-in-law without tying up double ponytails like domestic middle-aged actresses .
They should each have their own charm.
But the movie largely reflects reality.
Since everyone likes to be young and beautiful, how can we bravely pursue love and career in middle age?
In the film, Claire is also unable to give a specific answer.
Even though she is an intellectual and elegant college teacher on the one hand, and a middle-aged woman who is crazy about love on the other hand.
In class, she read Duras' "The Lover" aloud:
Between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, my original appearance has long since disappeared. I don't know if it is the case with everyone. I have never asked anyone. It seems that someone has told me that time is fleeting in the most part of my life. Young years, the most admirable years
But Duras also wrote:
I'm here to tell you that I think you're more beautiful now than when you were young, when you were a young woman, and I love your devastated face more than your face then
As mentioned in "Who Do You Think I Am", the jealousy and lust of middle-aged women cannot be escaped.
Since there is no escape, will you accept it?
Maybe the face is fragile, looking in the mirror, the wrinkles on the face will become more and more.
After laughing, there are more wrinkles.
But 20-year-old, 30-year-old, 50-year-old beauty is not the same.
It doesn't change much because of the number of wrinkles, or the age of freezing.
10:00 Jun really likes what the 61-year-old Cohen said after winning the award for "Three Billboards":
My face is a map, a road map of my life, and the folds on my chin are also what society makes people think that aging is a "personal problem", a disease and failure, but this idea itself is a cultural disease
Isn't propaganda for a morbid aesthetic trend the current state of our culture?
So, just ignore it.
Since everyone is getting old, it is better to look forward to what will happen when the first and second wrinkles come .
