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 detective game in the park and the many love games in the room are wonderful, and the schoolgirl part is also very interesting. The green and elegant park, surrounded by retro Parisian streets, provides a public space for strangers to get along with each other. In a harmonious and harmonious communication atmosphere, so many dazzling opportunities and conflicts can be reasonable. Moral tales can only turn into moral comedies when the fun of the game dissipates moral thinking.

    A true "maybe no story" story, no dramatic conflict, no confrontation between good and evil, no moral condemnation, only the characters' state of mind is like leaves dancing in the wind, finding their respective homes in a very natural way. The relationship structure of characters has always been Rohmer's forte, and this film also presents a very perfect closed structure, until the last shot reveals that all the characters are running on the same track, but it is never known where they will end up in Paris, which late night cry ( The ending song was actually written by Rohmer himself, which is very interesting). The multi-angle relationship almost includes all kinds of wrestling and confrontation of mortal beings such as you, you, me, and me. There is no love that is not sad, and no one is worth waiting for a long time. In the human game of chasing each other, we are equal anyway.
