At the Beijing Film Festival in 2016, I watched this love story in the film archive of Xiaoxitian. When the film ended, I applauded a little excitedly, not only out of courtesy to the French director Arnold Splatin, who could appear in the theater, but the characters in this story touched me deeply, or I learned from Paul's I read a shock, which came from the reflection on love and existence that emerged in an instant.

Does Paul really love that girl?
If you love her, why do you leave without hesitation again and again, as if life does not allow him to choose, never include her in life's itinerary, and every weekend he rushes back from Paris, the smart Paris that he is truly obsessed with. Go to the small town to re-control everything there. He was hostile to his mother, alienated from his father, controlled his younger siblings, fled the country, fled his hometown, fled from everything he seemed to love, and seemed to be tortured the more he seemed to care.

Paul asked the girl if anyone had ever loved you more than life. The girl said no. He said, I want to love you like that.

It is a pity that a rebel who is destined to be a footless bird, a person who leaves at any time, how can he be qualified to say that I will love you like life.

This should not be a youth romance film that is simply classified as the French version of "To Youth", because it has too many philosophical propositions that are difficult to express in Chinese films and that the French are best at: the existence of life and knowledge is power.

Paul has been at the center of power in three memories. His words are a weapon. He assassinated his mother, kidnapped his younger brother and sister, controlled his girlfriend, attracted aristocratic girls, and took on the deviant, while everyone around him seemed to be Before stepping out of the small circle he drew, he stepped up the steps of a classic anthropology book, walked to many villages with stories in the world, observed people and the world from a professional and profound perspective, and established a strong independent personality. It also has the ability to switch between serious life and game life after seeing through the philosophy of the world.

He is as free as the wind, but has more grip like the hand of God than the wind, and he can fight against the peaceful life of the youth circle in the small town every time he escapes. He Baorong is like an unreasonable child in "Happy Spring". The deeper the love, the more painful separation. He thought that Li Yaohui would always be in that room waiting for him to come back and willfully torture the person he loves. Expressing a sense of nihilistic attachment, He Baorong reflects the decadence and depravity of the decline of the times, and Paul has more heroic egoism in Western values. He Baorong's emotion made him cry in the room where Li Yaohui left, and Paul's inaction made him only show some kind of genuine concern when the professor died. As for girls, it's all a routine, a perfect display of mastery, so that when he reads letters as an adult, his anger towards his friends comes from some instinctive shame for his own wayward actions in the past.

Paul's correspondence with the girl seemed to be a symbol of two fiery loves, but when the girl could no longer bear the boy's unbridled freedom and the passiveness she had been waiting for, she dreamed that he was dead, woke up with tears in her eyes, and pulled With the pear flower in his hand, she repeated this nightmare repeatedly, in fact, she understood that the source of this fear is that he can leave at any time, or he can never appear again. She has tried to go with Paul to where he reads, and she has tried to fight it by committing to Paul's friend and declaring a breakup. But she found that her torture of him made her even more painful. Her skill was far less than his. Maybe it was because she really wanted to reduce the force value, or maybe it was because Paul's independent personality was too strong. People can match.

Life is a struggle between people. And love is a kind of torture. Whoever can finally take the initiative... It

all depends on who has read the most books and who has traveled farther.
