Very special experience, not using "good" as a benchmark. The

same theme is death, father and son and nostalgia, the clues are simple, and the emotional transition is similar, but this film also has a special attraction factor.

A group of beautiful people in the father's circle Some of the old intellectuals remind me of the BLOOMSBURY Salon in England in the early 20th century. Writers, artists, aesthetics, scholars, and various literary and artistic intellectuals gathered together. The sophisticate of their dialogues and the amusing cultural atmosphere may be the same. Like this film, even small talk is always a big topic, talking about history, politics, sex, dozens of "-ISM"isms, others sarcasm each other and then self-sarcasm. The self-cultivation and knowledge of the older generation The rigor of the structure forms a stark contrast between the "unliterate" and "commercialized" Barbarians of the younger generation (the ignorance of teaching students - "illiterate"; the great wealth brought by the son's venture capital investment - "commercialized"; and the daughter-in-law even The auction houses most associated with art and culture have also been extremely commercialized: the stock of churches is commercially worthless. Invasions of the Barbarians have a double meaning, one of intellectual nostalgia and a sense of arrogance. stance brought sarcastic tone; and secondly, is the son of a substance brutal world of "Prince" his father finally at the very end of the life course to do meticulous filial piety, long-lost love of father and son eventually be connected.

this film on What I am impressed by is both in my head and in my heart. The scattered plot arrangement seems to be careless, and its humanized depiction, intentionally or unintentionally, retains the subtlety and control of intellectual sentimentality. The ups and downs of the film. However, as life has restored its original flavor, even if it is inadvertent, the beautiful scenery and beautiful human nature will naturally expand. Like the quiet clouds above the head when the father euthanizes at the end of the film, and the son and the ambiguous childhood sweetheart are half The indulgence and reality of kissing are actually life.

The Barbarian Invasions quotes

  • Rémy: [in French] Contrary to belief, the 20th century wasn't that bloody. It's agreed that wars caused 100 million deaths. Add 10 million for the Russian gulags. The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 145 million dead. Not all that impressive. In the 16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese managed, without gas chambers or bombs, to slaughter 150 million Indians in Latin America. With axes! That's a lot of work, sister. Even if they had church support, it was an achievement. So much so tha the Dutch, English, French, and later Americans followed their lead and butchered another 50 million. 200 million dead in all! The greatest massacre in history took place right here. And not the tiniest holocaust museum. The history of mankind is a history of horrors.
