First of all, from the text of the film, the meaning of the play in the play is that the director is also the heroine of the film, and the story is the real thing that she experienced with her former lover. Being able to put my own story on the screen is like facing a disease and disaster again. After breaking up, this pair of French lovers can meet again and become friends, and they can cooperate again. It really gives us a glimpse of the openness and openness of French people to feelings. Compassionate amount. Combining because of love, and then breaking up because of understanding, the joys and sorrows in the emotional world are like the emotional ups and downs of life, which are all destined to experience. With such an arrangement, I have to admire the director. Her films can affect the emotions of the audience and are well received in France, which is well deserved.
The hero and heroine in the story met because they liked each other and had happy days with each other. Just like an ordinary couple, the man's name is Romeo, and the woman's name is Juliet. It's like China has Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, a good pair of grudges. Maybe the name was cursed, and after they were happy, disaster came to them. The son had brain cancer, and he tried to find out the cause and tried not to tell his parents, but the paper still couldn't contain the fire. There are always worries, just like in a scene where the heroine is worried about running down the corridor of the hospital, and she is exhausted. A family, no matter who has a problem, everyone is out of concern, but who wants to have a disease. When faced with it, many people will be pessimistic, which will affect the family around them. Or the patient will arrange for the aftermath, be depressed, give up on himself, and watch the movie and think of the image of a loved one who is sick. Don't we go from one specialty to another, and then walk around the corner of the hospital.
The protagonist in the film, as a mother, must be very heartbroken. Whether it is a blessing or a curse to be born, we often ask what is the meaning of life. Comparing your heart to yourself, if the patient is your own parents, you will feel it more deeply, and they will suffer when they are old. It is indeed grief, but this is a matter called "living in the present". Since you can't control it, don't force it, don't force it. So the hero and heroine both know that if they want to be happy, they must be happy when they are happy. It still makes sense, caring for a son is a long war, jobs are lost, and money is spent. But life still has to go on, and it is inevitable to "hold up" for my son. While the son is fighting cancer, they are fighting against the dissatisfaction in reality. They still smoke, drink, and go to bars, pretending that nothing happened.
This is by no means irresponsible, and frowning is not the solution. Even if the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the end of the road will not die. Seeing that the child is good and bad for a while, as an audience, he also feels the love of his parents. Fortunately, the child should not die. Maybe this is the doomed catastrophe.
Appreciate the director's handling in the film, sometimes adding dialogue and whispers between lovers. There are dialogues that make people smile and make people tremble from depression. They do not over-exaggerate the plot of crying, making trouble and hanging themselves when they are sick, bringing out an optimistic and positive message. Disease is not terrible, the most terrible thing is the attitude of doing things. I also appreciate that the director can face the disaster calmly and make the most of the heavy subject matter. I left a little tear in the theater. The most touching thing is that love is always with me. I think of my recovering family when I watch it. When I think about this movie again today, what I can't think of is that it left me with a touch of emotion. A spirit that makes people strutting, that can control the sky. Sick, just "No Big Deal". There are really many things to face, and diseases are like passing by us. Since the body may not be under control, it is better to be happy and be a calm person. Believe that tomorrow will be better.
After the performance, the audience asked how the director's children were. In fact, it was already stated at the end of the film that Romeo and Juliet could not be husband and wife, but Yigu was friends. The director's son is the child who appeared at the end of the film, and he is growing up healthy and happy. It's hard to close it. Another audience asked ironically about smoking, haha, the French just love smoking, this is their life.
Life is like a drama, drama is like life. Writing, directing and acting, I saw a strong filmmaker walking her way. Hope to have the opportunity to see other works of the director in the future.
