Rohmer is really good at expressing some very subtle and invisible male psychology. . . After watching so many movies of Rohmer, these rough love and love, I suddenly realized that what he expressed is actually one meaning: love exists only in the imagination of women, it is something women insist on, and love is a kind of love for women. Sacred events that cannot be disenchanted, so they agonize over their lover's detachment, anger over their lover's betrayal, and always say "no" to the unsuitable because they know too well what they want: the ideal of love itself And men can't understand the psychology of women, there are mundane things that are more important than metaphysics of love, so women's temperament that doesn't care about anything for love has become a mystery in their eyes. Appeal. Men search, hesitate, pick and choose, and love to lie. They just want to satisfy their selfish desires to the greatest extent possible on the edge of morality. They are never satisfied with facing the same girl, always want more, put eggs in different baskets like venture capital. Even if you know that you like a certain type of girl the most, you will go out with other girls that you don't even like at all when you are lonely.

The women in Rohmer's films are independent, free and frank even if they are trapped in love, while the men have a lot of secret thoughts and can't even be "sincere" to women. Rohmer's French love sketch is based on the misunderstanding between the two: women think that what they are after is love and cannot see the other party's filthy desires; while men follow their desires and they are done, and they will never think about it. What is the woman thinking. Rohmer's attitude towards the two is also different. When the protagonist is a woman, the innocent, sensual and firm heroine can always find the answer she wants, while when the protagonist is a man, Rohmer often arranges a smart counter-actor. In the end of being clever and mistaken, and the bamboo basket drawing water, the hero must pay the price for his narcissism and hypocrisy.

    The Absent Wife of "Comedy and Proverbs" A high-level voyeur movie must be from disorder to order, and the process of the audience following the voyeur to explore the truth of the matter is very interesting (why does the male lead lose his mind, why does the female lead hide it). After Rohmer completed the six moral stories, the discussion of the relationship between men and women became more refined, the language of the film became richer, and the shots were less streamlined. At the end, the male protagonist walked into the crowd alone and stopped abruptly, which was meaningful.
