A French film, the English translation is summertime. It seems that summer in France is still quite cool! The whole story also begins in the countryside in what may be the north of France, and in the countryside where all sorts of large machinery operate for quite a long time. Because once Delphine and Carole looked out over mountains and lakes, Delphine said that he had never been to the southern countryside, where there are many such lakes. So, I guess Delphine's home should be in the countryside of northern France.
In fact, in the first two-thirds of the movie, I felt that Delphine was the heroine. The story started when her lover abandoned her to marry and run away. She also mentioned it to Carole later, saying that a country girl broke my heart. That's why she left the country for Paris. Of course, she still likes everything in the country, so she tells Carole that the reason she likes Paris is because of Carole.
The first thing I found interesting was when Carole, the feminists, ran down the street and slapped men on the buttocks. Then Delphine, the five big and three rough from our country, carried out a heroic rescue of beauty. They chatted about feminism on the bus, although, Delphine didn't agree with it, probably in Delphine's mind these city girls are really just talking on paper. Later, when Carole asked Delphine to leave with her, Delphine said that it was her struggle to run her farm, a real thing. Maybe Carole and Delphine are like two intentions of ideal and reality, fantasy and action. On the side of fantasy, Carole is more romantic and uninhibited. She can really give up everything in Paris to accompany Delphine, but Delphine did not go with her in the end. It wasn't until the two of them were leaving on the platform that reality always trumped ideals, even in 1970s Paris. When Delphine first arrived in Paris, the fierce and sincere struggle of feminists for the struggle always seemed so beautiful. I like the songs they sing in the lecture hall, and the short les song with the melody of the Internationale. Where did I laugh, Chu Yijun said that in the past, KTV would definitely sing this divine comedy of resistance. I hope that one day she will also see this movie, hear this melody, and smile.
The second interesting point of discussion is that even though Carole was such a radical feminist, she wasn't lesbian until she met Delphine. Of course, according to the basic law, Carole didn't become les because she didn't meet the girl she liked. After Carole met Delphine, she would be confused and ashamed, and eventually she would follow her heart and make a fire. Although the Basic Law is like this, what is more special here is the attitude of Carole's boyfriend. He gave Carole enough space, and let Carole understand that he loves Delphine more than others. Therefore, feminism is bound to the LGBT group, and sometimes I think about it, it is also inherently biased.
Also want to say Delphine's attitude. I think a lot of people are going to bash her because it looks like Carole has sacrificed a lot. In the end, Delphine did not have the urge to go back to Paris with Carole, I think Carole must be heartbroken. But after seeing Delphine's letter to Carole later, I can really understand and sympathize with Delphine's choice. Really, delphine is just doing what carole is fighting and fighting for. No one is born with so much. Under many circumstances, one cannot abandon parents and reality. Instead, finding a balance in reality might be the best way out?
Although, in the end it is a happy ending. But I think it's natural even if the two don't get together in the end. But I wonder, would Carole still love someone like delphine that much? Have the courage to love so bravely, and finally accept not to love, is the meaning of love in the end to accompany?
In fact, there are many topics discussed in this story, such as love, responsibility, escape and confrontation. The story is well told, it feels like the rating is too low. I feel the same as the number one movie review. I feel very good after reading it. I don't understand why the rating is so low? Is it because the heroine's appearance is not high? I really have to use the greatest malice to speculate on this face-seeing world.
In terms of the plot, the rhythm is very good, not in a hurry, although when it comes to the end, Carole receives the letter from Delphine as the bonus, giving everyone a happy ending, which is a little bit tricky.
