love and contempt

Houston 2022-02-24 08:02:09

The conversation in the room, especially the conversation by the lamp led to the initial estrangement of Mir, and the final break was the call of Mir's inquiry before boarding the yacht, but Paul pretended to be indifferent, Mir turned back many times, but could not see what she wanted desired signal. The relationship between the two has now been irreversible. They discussed the Odyssey before filming of The Boat Odyssey, Paul said he thought Odyssey loved his wife and she didn't love him, Mill retorted that you must not think so. Mill loves Paul, and since she felt hurt by Paul in the room and planned to take revenge, she has been slow to take any action until she returns from the yacht. Maybe what Mill wanted was Paul's confession and actions to prove that he loved her, but she was disappointed. She is only with Jerry to get revenge on Paul, they don't even understand the language, and there are sunglasses, the idea comes from the movie "Cabylia Nights", notice that Mill wears sunglasses last time on a high platform Sunbathing, and she takes off her sunglasses when she sees Paul, and when she is with Jerry, she wears sunglasses all the time and doesn't look at him very much. When the car accident happened, the two of them were on both sides of the car. If they were in love People should hold together, I believe that Mill still loved Paul until the end. Behind the contempt is still unbreakable love, but she can't continue to be with Paul, and the car accident before the end, is it what Mill wants, or even if she deliberately arranged it, I don't know.

    The opening shot is really brilliant. After the post-setup, the point of view is shifted, allowing the audience to perform at the same time, and refer to each other with the content of the film. The relationship between the male and female protagonists in the film refers to each other in Homer's "Odyssey". The viewer must also have a little bit of Homer's epic in order to "play" and "see" more happily.

    Master Lang's masterpiece, with English subtitles, you can understand some French. Ending with Ulysses seeing Ithaca again is actually an inversion of the structure of The Odyssey. Love rebuilds first and homecoming comes later. Although rebuilding fails, it is still possible to go home. Losing the reality that Homer is based on, and may suddenly lose the feeling or ability to love, how (why) should we write, love and shoot? The beauty and "contempt" of Bardot.
