"Green Light" expresses the feelings of girls in the emotionally empty period to the extreme, and it is difficult for later generations to surpass them. Although I watched this film for a long time and didn't like it, I often inadvertently thought of Delfina's lonely and embarrassed expression. It was only at this time that I realized that no matter Chinese or Western, people who have lost love always fall into the same pattern.
Rohmer's works are more brisk and bright, such as "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend", "Pauline on the Beach" and "Claire's Knee". yearning. How many heart-pounding encounters and unforgettable weeping are evacuated here with the refreshing sea breeze and cool waves. The great thing about putting a love story on holiday is that no matter how sad the story is, there is always a blue sky.
Summer vacation supports most of the love life in French movies, and it seems so natural to squander youth in the long summer. So did Little White Lies, which beat Inception on French soil last year. A group of old friends were invited to vacation at one of them's beach villa, four men and three women, two couples, and they were entangled in a patchwork of ambiguous relationships. They swam, surfed, ran, played cards, and drank, and they fought, cried, fought, punched, and left. More naturally, it is love, open love, secret love, unrequited love, small ambiguous, same-sex cherishing, opposite-sex interlacing... Those moments of crying and laughing show the beauty of serious devotion to life. Don't care about tomorrow, just appreciate the present, and never fail to live up to a good time.
Thinking of this, and thinking of the title of the film, I can't help but smile. The original intention of the film may be that the so-called real life is just an appearance. They each have their own secrets and sorrows, how can everyone know that they cry at night after laughter, or hold back their tears when they run in the wind in the morning? Should the viewer for a serious, perhaps gravely commented: "This film exposes the hypocrisy and emptiness of middle-class life in a capitalist society, behind the seemingly better life, to cover up the feelings of alienation and deception."
But, count Come on. Who doesn't lie? Although there may be ethical violations on certain issues, it is also necessary to admit that a life without lies is unsustainable. You watch the only Vincent who confesses to his heartbreak, but he was greeted with indifference and ridicule throughout the holiday, so much so that he got into a fight and left the venue early. It is neither realistic nor feasible to be honest in everything. As long as you have a sincere heart, even if you want to cover up your feelings with "white lies", it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
The people in the film know this. They sing with joy in the lie, and experience life and death in the lie. After such a vacation, everyone has a new experience of love:
Marie indifferently rejected the young literary and artistic youth who could play good songs, misses her ex-boyfriend who was hospitalized in a car accident, and the grief that she never really fell in love with someone again, she couldn't help but Crying in the middle of the night; Playboy Eric was abandoned by his girlfriend, he realized that this is his true love, he went back to the girl to wait downstairs, but came back alone because he didn't want to disturb her dream; Antoine struggled with love text messages throughout the summer vacation , how to respond, when to respond, what is the other party's intention, and later regained the situation in a face-to-face conversation and won the beauty back; Vincent's story was known to everyone because of a fight, his wife hugged him sympathetically, his son It also understands that homosexuality should be respected, "because that is also love."
Every relationship makes people grow, and this is the biggest emotion I have after watching it - it seems a bit off topic, but forget it. After such a round of love and separation, everyone showed more maturity and understanding. Because we become delicate and sensitive in love, we are able to experience the richness of feelings several times more than usual. The light that shines through each other at rendezvous, the silent sadness at parting, teaches one to step by step toward independence and maturity, and to try to believe that there is still life to be had.
There is a saying that I have always remembered: "If we can't give us more things to make our lives more independent and strong, we may fail love. If love doesn't enrich us, we will look down on ourselves." always remembered.
